00:00 The Senate has already issued a subpoena to have Pastor Apollo Quibuloy face their hearing
00:07 regarding the child abuse against members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
00:12 In addition, the Department of Justice has recommended
00:16 to issue an Immigration Lookout Bulletin against Quibuloy.
00:21 Ma'am Gonzalez was present.
00:25 Because of the lack of support for the hearing regarding the child abuse against members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ,
00:31 the Senate has already issued a subpoena to have Pastor Apollo Quibuloy face their hearing
00:34 regarding the child abuse against members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
00:42 According to the Bureau of Immigration, based on their information, Quibuloy is still in the Philippines.
00:48 The Department of Justice has recommended to issue an Immigration Lookout Bulletin against Quibuloy.
00:53 We are still trying to get Quibuloy's file,
00:56 but he has already said that he will not attend the hearing and will only face the court if there is a complaint.
01:01 In the continuation of the hearing of the Senate,
01:04 some former members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ are facing.
01:07 All of them experienced abuse from Quibuloy himself,
01:11 like gardener Alias Rene.
01:14 I have experienced pain in Quibuloy's hands.
01:21 If he did not improve the landscape of his mansion,
01:27 he would beat us and beat us.
01:30 He said that he saw former President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte visiting Quibuloy.
01:39 Former President Rodrigo Duterte and former Mayor Sara Duterte also visit there.
01:49 When they left the Glory Mountain,
01:53 they brought bags containing guns.
01:58 Did you see with your own eyes that the contents of the bags were guns of different kinds?
02:07 Yes, Madam Chair.
02:09 We are still trying to get the file of former President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte.
02:14 Meanwhile, according to Alias Jackson, former members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ are being watched by witnesses in the Senate against Quibuloy.
02:24 He also said that he approached Quibuloy's hands,
02:28 which he called "Sienteng Canada" to say that his plan to leave the Senate is now behind.
02:34 But he was surprised by what happened.
02:37 He said to his witnesses, "Live peacefully and you will join us.
02:48 We don't know, maybe there will be a rallying in town next to you. We know you."
02:54 The non-payment of salaries to workers of Sunshine Media Network Inc. or SMNI,
03:01 a media organization led by Quibuloy, was also mentioned in the hearing.
03:04 "The workers of Castro Quibuloy don't get salaries."
03:10 "There are outsiders, Alias David?"
03:14 "There are no benefits."
03:17 "It is illegal. You are not allowed to employ a person and you don't give them salaries and benefits that are in the law."
03:30 "Isn't this in fact human trafficking? It's like indentured slavery. SMNI is engaged in human trafficking."
03:42 "Good morning Madam Chair. Given the set of facts that Alias Rene sent,
03:52 he may be included in the definition of trafficking in persons under our law.
03:57 And it may be considered as trafficking for labor exploitation."
04:01 We are still trying to get the SMNI's report.
04:04 But a lawyer who is also a member of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, was the one who defended it.
04:11 She said that the full-time workers are volunteers and not employees.
04:13 "As full-time workers of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, because this is a religious organization, a corporation,
04:19 so we don't have salary but we call them honorarium Madam Chair.
04:23 Our salary is 200 to 300 pesos a week depending on the mood of the pastor."
04:30 "It ranges to, we cannot give you the exact, like 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, it depends upon the salary,
04:37 it depends upon the ministry that was entrusted to you."
04:40 The accused members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ and SMNI were invited for the next hearing.
