Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) founder Apollo Quiboloy was rushed to a public hospital after suffering from breathing difficulties on September 11, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) confirmed.
“BJMP confirms that PDL Apollo C. Quiboloy was rushed to a public hospital on 11 September 2025 due to difficulty in breathing,” BJMP spokesperson Jail Superintendent Jayrex Bustinera told GMA News Online in a message.
Bustinera said Quiboloy was diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia (moderate risk). The Pasig City Regional Trial Court Branch 159, which is handling his case, was immediately notified of the medical emergency and later issued an order on September 15 authorizing his hospitalization.
“As of 30 September 2025, he is stable and recovering in a public hospital, in line with BJMP policies on medical care for [persons deprived of liberty],” Bustinera added.
Quiboloy, who has been detained at the Pasig City Jail, was also hospitalized earlier this year for pneumonia before being returned to detention on February 12.
He is facing a non-bailable qualified human trafficking charge under the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act, along with separate cases under the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act.
