Controversial Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, who has been cited in contempt by the Senate panel investigating the alleged abuses and violence in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, was spotted with former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte in a gathering.
Filipino vlogger Boss Dada TV shared some photos he took with Quiboloy and Duterte in an undisclosed place on his official Facebook page on Sunday, March 10.
"Hindi ko ine[-]expect na maririnig ko ang mga narinig ko ngayong gabi. Napabilib ako ng malupit ni Pastor Apollo Quiboloy. Ngayon alam ko na kung bakit target siya ng mga [o]naks at naipaliwanag ng husto yung mga bagay bagay tungkol sa kanyang [m]inistry," he captioned.
"Andami ko pa pala talagang hindi alam. Salamat sa mga words of [w]isdom Pastor at PRRD. Nag[-]uumapaw na [r]espeto. Pagusapan natin sa live [b]ukas," Boss Dada TV added.
Also seen at the event were former Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles and former anti-communist body spokesperson Lorraine Badoy.

In February, Quiboloy claimed that there are threats against his life. He said his reliable source tipped him about the United States government and Marcos administration's planned rendition which he defined as "forced entry" to his compound and kidnap and assassinate him.
Last week, the justice department issued an immigration lookout bulletin directing the close monitoring of the religious pastor's departure from any international airport or seaport in the country.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin 'Boying' Remulla also announced that child abuse and qualified human trafficking cases are set to be filed against Quiboloy before the Pasig and Davao City Procecutor's Offices.
