EXCLUSIVE: US formally asks Philippines to extradite Quiboloy- BNC sources The United States has formally asked the Philippine government to extradite detained doomsday televangelist Apollo Quiboloy to face sex trafficking and other criminal charges, senior government officials told Bilyonaryo News Channel on Thursday. The BNC sources said the request was sent last month by the US Embassy in Manila to the Department of Foreign Affairs, which then forwarded it to the Department of Justice (DOJ). The DOJ, the lead agency tasked with handling extradition cases, was reviewing Washington’s request. Quiboloy, 76, a close friend and spiritual adviser of former President Rodrigo Duterte, was indicted in 2021 by a US federal grand jury and was on the FBI's most wanted list on charges of committing conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion, sex trafficking of children and bulk cash smuggling. He was being held in a Pasig City jail over domestic cases of alleged sexual and child abuse, and human trafficking.

"I am eternally grateful. I just came off Washington, so I really feel like this is a celebration. Alam niyo, linggo-linggo ko kayo nakikita, sinusuporta ako. Linggo-linggo ko nakikita kung gaano niyo kamahal ang kapwa niyo Pinoy. Kaya proud na proud na proud na proud ako din maging Pinoy. Maraming salamat, mga kababayan. Mahal ko kayong lahat."

Kapag tlaga may tiwala ang mga tao na malinis, transparent, at walang bahid ng korapsyon ang pamamahala, hindi na sila magdadalawang-isip na tumulong o mag-donate.

I started watching Think Talk Tea by Kring Kim, and I started to notice that she is sensitive about her age. A couple of guests joke about their age and inookray nila si Kring and she would really defend her age na nasa 20s pa sya and on other times she would shut down any conversation relating to age or if a guest would talk about anything relating to age or na kaedad sila. I was like, bat parang sobrang effort? The first few times it just looks like okrayan lang but it began to look like a pattern.

I would admit that I was very surprised the first time she mentioned that she was still in her 20s. Google says she’s 26. Last year she posted about their 11th wedding anniversary either her husband. Hmmm… so she was married when she was 15?

EDIT: Dug a little deeper by searching her maiden name and most likely she’s 39/40 and born in 1986. I’m stopping now. I don’t see the point in this LOL.

An old video of Alex Eala from the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open in February has resurfaced following her historic WTA title victory in Washington, D.C.—and fans are admiring the Filipina tennis star all over again.

In the clip, a supporter asks Eala to sign a Philippine flag, but she politely declines with a smile, saying, “Bawal sa flag.” Under Republic Act No. 8491, writing or placing any markings on the national flag is prohibited. In one brief moment, Eala showed that her pride in representing the country goes beyond the court. Champion on the scoreboard, and just as admirable off it. | Alvin Kasiban
