'''Accusers cannot put Kingdom down: Quiboloy camp'''.<br>
'''53 ex-ASG (Abu Sayyaf) members receive livelihood aid from BARMM'''.<br>
DAVAO CITY – The camp of Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy, founder of the Philippine-based Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC), on Friday said their leader and the entire Kingdom nation would not be brought down over a malicious issue on sex trafficking. The statement came after a federal grand jury in the United States (US) indicted Quiboloy, over an alleged scheme that coerced girls and young women to have sex with him under threats of “eternal damnation”. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) said the new indictment, released on November 18, charged Quiboloy and two other top church officials - Teresita Dandan and Felina Salinas - with participating in a conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion, as well as the sex trafficking of children.

Hernanie Songano, volunteered to construct the bunkhouse while the Gagandilan Mindanao Women, Inc. (GMWI), the partner non-governmental organization, will conduct a hollow block-making training for the former ASG members.
