A recent post on the social media platform X by a user with the handle “Mel_Chor2021” has gone viral, sparking fresh controversy around Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) founder Pastor Apollo Quiboloy. The post included a video clip from the radio program “Dos Por Dos,” hosted by Anthony Taberna and Gerry Baja, in which former KOJC member Arlene Stone made shocking allegations.
In the interview, Stone claimed that Quiboloy would allegedly “gift” women—some of whom were pastoral members—to certain powerful individuals within his close circle. The former KOJC member implied that these women were given as “gifts” to Quiboloy’s friends, raising serious concerns about abuse within the organization.
Gerry Baja, one of the hosts of the program, directly asked Stone whether anyone had confessed to her about women being “passed on” to former President Rodrigo Duterte. To the surprise of both hosts, Arlene Stone responded with an unequivocal “Yes.” This revelation momentarily silenced the normally outspoken hosts, clearly stunned by the gravity of her claims.
The video clip has ignited online discussions and fueled further scrutiny of the ongoing legal battles faced by Quiboloy. The controversial pastor, who is currently facing multiple charges, including sex trafficking and coercion, has long been associated with political figures, including Duterte.
While these allegations have not been proven, they add another layer of complexity to the accusations against Quiboloy. As his legal troubles deepen, these new claims could further implicate high-profile figures connected to him.
In the interview, Stone refrained from naming specific women allegedly involved but suggested that Quiboloy’s influence extended beyond spiritual matters and into highly inappropriate territory. The implication that women were manipulated or coerced into such relationships raises serious ethical and legal concerns.
Putangina!

As of now, neither Quiboloy nor Duterte has issued any official statement in response to these allegations. Duterte, who once described Quiboloy as a close friend, is reportedly overseeing some of Quiboloy’s properties while the latter is in custody.
The revelations come at a time when Quiboloy is already under heavy legal fire, and if proven true, could lead to further investigations involving Duterte’s alleged role in these illicit activities. The case continues to unfold, with more revelations expected to surface.
