Jey Rence B. Quilario, more commonly known by his alias Senior Agila, is the president of the Socorro Bayanihan Services group.
He garnered wider public attention in September 2023 when the group under his leadership faced allegations of sexual abuse and being a cult.
Quilario was born on November 10, 2000, in Barangay Nueva Estrella, in the town of Socorro, Surigao del Norte province.
[3] According to the official clarificatory statement from the IFI leadership in Socorro, Quilario was once an altar server who did not show a remarkable record of performance and instead demonstrated some "dubious actions.
[7][14][15] Underage members were allegedly coerced into marrying and having sex with adult partners under the pretense that such actions were required by a "rule to go to heaven."
During a public Senate hearing, an alleged former member claimed that young women who broke this rule were branded "adios" and subjected to cruel punishment, such as being locked in a foxhole or physically assaulted with a paddle.
[16] Criminal charges of qualified trafficking, kidnapping, and serious illegal detention were filed against 13 SBSI members, including Quilario himself.
Quilario and three of his fellow members were cited for contempt by the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs, which believed they were lying in their responses to the forced child marriage allegations.
