The supporters of the controversial Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy conducted a prayer rally in Liwasang Bonifacio, Manila, on Monday, March 4.
According to Boy Gonzales' report in RH Balita, the supporters came from different regions of the Philippines to seek "justice" for Quiboloy, who is now facing multiple cases of child abuse and qualified human trafficking.

The prayer rally started at 3 p.m. and was covered by Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI), a media network led by the KOJC leader.
"Stand for Apollo Quiboloy," the several supporters wrote on their placard.
"Risa Hontiveros, stop human rights abuses," some placards read.
Senator Risa Hontiveros, who is leading the Senate investigation into Quiboloy's raps, is also being urged to resign from her post.
Quiboloy's alleged crime arose after some former members of the KOJC testified in the Senate, telling how they were abused inside the religious group.
The leader, who claims as the 'Appointed Son of God,' did not attend the first invitation from the Senate to investigate the claims on February 19.
On February 21, Quiboloy alleged that the United States government conspired with the Marcos administration to eliminate him by either kidnapping or assassination.
Meanwhile, Hontiveros said the Senate will be forced to cite Quiboloy for contempt if he does not present himself in the next Senate hearing set for March 5.
