SEN. Risa Hontiveros said the fugitive evangelist Apollo Quiboloy, wanted for sex trafficking of children, has no right to impose conditions for his surrender, including an assurance from Malacañang that he would not be extradited to the United States, where he faces similar criminal charges.

Quiboloy, leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KoJC), was indicted in the US for conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion and sex trafficking of children. He is also on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's wanted list.

The KoJC leader is wanted in the country for his refusal to appear before the courts to face violations of the Anti-Trafficking in Person Act and Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act.

Quiboloy's lawyer has reiterated his condition for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to issue a written declaration that he would not be rendered to the US once he surrendered.

Addressing Quiboloy in Filipino, Hontiveros said, "My appeal will not change: surrender now, Quiboloy. You have no right to set conditions [before you surrender]."

"Stop using KoJC members as human shield. Stop all your drama and come out of your hiding place," she added.

The Philippine National Police has been searching the KoJC compound in Davao City since August 24 to find Quiboloy, who is believed to be hiding inside the property.
