Who is Pastor Apollo Quiboloy?
By Jeffrey M. Tupas
DAVAO CITY—Pastor Apollo Quiboloy claims he was in bed shortly before the 2004 presidential election when “all of a sudden I saw a vision.†In the vision, he saw Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s face on the cover of a magazine.
It was “God’s will†that Quiboloy support her bid for the presidency, according to a video produced by the Sonshine Media Network International, media outfit of a religious group Quiboloy has founded.
Today, with the next presidential election barely three months away, Quiboloy is perhaps the most sought-after political endorser in this part of the country.
Candidates are trooping to the religious group’s sprawling compound at the foot of Mt. Apo to seek the blessings of the man who claims to be the “Appointed Son of God.†He also claims 6 million followers and owns his own cable TV company, a string of radio stations and two newspapers.
The name of Quiboloy’s religious group is enough to evoke awe—Kingdom of Jesus Christ, The Name Above Every Name.
According to a member of the group, all presidential candidates have confirmed their attendance at a presidential forum to be hosted by the group on March 9 at his 9-hectare compound called “Prayer Mountain.â€
