Again, lack of intelligence work and lack of research reflect the police operations at the sprawling Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) property. Even the Secretary of Interior and Local Government looked headed to an embarrassing conclusion.
On Friday, Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) legal counsel lawyer Israelito Torreon scoffed at the pronouncements of Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr.’s that there are “secret doors” inside Jose Maria College Foundation, Inc. (JMCFI) at the KOJC property in Buhangin, Davao City.
In a news conference at Camp Crame in Quezon City on Thursday, Abalos presented footages taken during the search for KOJC founder Pastor Apollo Quiboloy inside the building within the 30-hectare property.
However, Torreon clarified that the video that Abalos has presented is not a “secret door” but the exit doorway of Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy.
“Secretary Abalos, with due respect, hindi po yan “secret door” dyan talaga ang door ng labasan ni Pastor ACQ tuwing may program sa Cathedral. Wala pong secret dyan. Pati noong last Thanksgiving for new Llawyers na si Former President Rodrigo Duterte ang aming guest of honor makita po sa video na dyan lumabas si Pastor ACQ from his holding room,” Torreon posted online.
Lawyer Eunice Ambrosio, co-legal counsel of KOJC, told the media that Abalos may be referring to the door of the holding room where the evangelist comes out every time he delivers his preachings.
“This is not a secret door kasi diyan lumalabas si Pastor everytime na nagpre-preach siya sa pulpit. It is connected to the holding room sa likod,” Ambrosio said.
Abalos was confident that the secret door led to where Quiboloy’s room was.
The police also searched the KOJC Missionaries Female Quarters, which according to them are “secret chambers.”
Ambrosio explained that the female quarters are located on the ground floor of JMCFI.
“Ang entrance niyan ay nasa 3rd phase ng JMC,” she said.
Additionally, Abalos added that within the property, authorities found a hidden corridor that connects to at least 42 structures and another room.
Abalos also said that they are working with the Davao City Engineer’s Office to ascertain whether or not every room and passage within the KOJC property was included in the group’s building plan.
