MANILA, Philippines — With their silence on China’s harassment at sea and their “paradoxical” reaction to police operation to arrest alleged sex offender and human trafficker Apollo Quiboloy, some Philippine politicians have only exposed their questionable loyalty to the country. This was according to Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) spokesman Jay Tarriela, who posted on X on Independence Day that many politicians were quick to denounce the police operation to arrest Quiboloy, but “never had any comments when the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine Coast Guard were subjected to inhumane and barbaric harassment while carrying out a medical evacuation in Ayungin Shoal.” He did not name the politicians. “When the mansion of the fugitive Pastor Quiboloy was surrounded by the Philippine National Police, they had lengthy statements and even criticized the police’s efforts to arrest him,” he added. Tarriela, PCG spokesman for the National Task Force-West Philippine Sea, said the politicians’ “paradoxical” reaction “makes one question where their loyalty and interests really lie.” Early this week, heavily armed police commandos raided compounds in Davao owned by the religious sect leader but failed to find him.
