Senator Manny Pacquiao (left), accompanied by Atty. Nikki de Vega, files a case of defamation against Davao City-based religious leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy before the Makati City Prosecutor's Office Tuesday (September 14).
Pacquiao said the case stemmed from Quiboloy's spreading "fake news" about the senator's alleged billions worth of projects in Sarangani, where Pacquiao once served as representative. Quiboloy, a close friend of President Duterte and leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ Church and self-styled "Appointed Son of God," has yet to respond to the charges filed against him.
