About Tony Agpaoa
Lived 1939 – 1982 (aged 42–43). Tony Agpaoa was a Filipino faith healer.
Antonio C. Agpaoa (1939–1982) most well known as Tony Agpaoa was a Filipino practitioner of psychic surgery. His centre in Baguio attracted "thousands of persons annually".
In 1968, Agpaoa was arrested and charged with fraud in the United States for pretending to mend a bone in a patient's neck. Instead of facing the charges, Agpaoa "skipped his $25,000 bail and fled back to the Philippines."
James Randi has noted that Agpaoa had his own appendix removed in a hospital in San Francisco, instead of visiting a psychic surgeon. Agpaoa also took his son to the United States when in need of medical care, but his son did not survive.
