Story summary
- The United States formally requested the Philippines extradite Filipino pastor Apollo Quiboloy on child sex-trafficking and fraud charges.
- Ambassador Jose Manuel Romualdez said the request reached the Department of Justice on Aug 6 2026 after the Department of Foreign Affairs received it in July.
- Quiboloy remains detained in Manila and a November 2021 U.S. indictment on conspiracy to sex-traffick, fraud and coercion means Philippine courts must approve extradition before he can be surrendered.
