MANILA — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) confirmed on Tuesday (08 Oct 2024) that Pastor Apollo Quiboloy of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) has filed his Certificate of Candidacy (COC) for senator through his lawyer, Atty. Mark Tolentino.
Comelec chairperson George Garcia confirmed the filing when asked if Quiboloy had submitted his COC for the senatorial race.
Garcia previously stated that anyone is free to file a COC as long as there is no final verdict on their cases.
Quiboloy is currently detained at the Philippine National Police Detention Facility in Camp Crame, Quezon City, due to multiple charges, including child abuse and human trafficking.
Today, October 8, marks the last day for filing COCs.
