00:00 Not only the Senate, but also Pastor Apollo Quiboloy

00:04 will face allegations of abuse in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

00:07 He will also face several cases in the Department of Justice.

00:11 Watch this!

00:13 On the eve of the continuation of the Senate's hearing

00:21 on allegations of abuse in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ,

00:24 the prayer rally in Liwasan, Bonifacio, Manila

00:27 was held in the presence of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.

00:30 They insisted that the hearing in the Senate should be stopped

00:33 and that they will stick to their principles.

00:36 According to the DOJ,

00:38 there are several cases of sexual abuse of a minor,

00:41 other acts of child abuse,

00:43 and qualified human trafficking

00:45 that will be filed against Quiboloy and five others.

00:48 According to the report of Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia

00:52 on the former corruption of the City Prosecutor of Davao

00:56 in the complaint of rape committed by a minor

00:59 against Quiboloy in 2011.

01:02 We have studied this case and what is really coming out

01:05 is that Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and his associates

01:12 really have a responsibility.

01:14 The victim's affidavit is the basis of all questions to him.

01:20 The Department of Justice issued an ILBO

01:23 or Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order

01:26 and it will also be accompanied by a PHDO

01:28 or Precautionary Hold Departure Order

01:30 along with the filing of cases in Davao

01:33 so that Quiboloy will not be able to leave the country.

01:36 The DOJ will also ask the Supreme Court

01:39 to transfer the hearing in the cases here in Manila

01:42 and a special panel of prosecutors will be appointed

01:45 for its investigation.

01:47 There is a problem in Davao.

01:50 It is difficult to demand in a place

01:53 where the power of those who are being raped

01:57 and will be raped and will be beaten is strong.

02:00 The filing of the case has nothing to do with politics.

02:03 I consider him a friend,

02:05 but this is a job that I am doing.

02:08 This is a huge success for every woman

02:12 who was left and taken advantage of by Apollo Quiboloy.

02:16 This is a welcome first step

02:19 towards heeding the victim's survivor's cry

02:22 for justice, peace and healing.

02:25 Despite the call of Quiboloy's supporters,

02:28 Senator Risa Ontiveros said,

02:31 the hearing will continue tomorrow.

02:33 They are ready to cite in contempt

02:34 and have Quiboloy arrested if he will not leave.

02:37 According to Quiboloy's lawyer,

02:39 the pastor is ready to face the cases against him.

02:43 He is assuaged by the balm of a clean conscience

02:48 that all these cases are just lies.

02:52 The time will come when all these lies will be exposed.

02:57 For GMA Integrated News,

02:59 here is the reference of your witness.

03:02 Before the witness,

03:04 in the middle of the court of Cudita in Mataas, Capulungan,

03:07 12 senators signed the resolution

03:10 giving support to Senate President Juan Miguel Subiri.

03:14 The witness is Mob Gonzalez.

03:16 In the middle of the chaos,

03:21 Senate President Juan Miguel Subiri

03:24 is being harassed as the leader of the Senate.

03:26 There is a revolving resolution in the Senate

03:28 that is giving support to him.

03:30 According to a source,

03:32 12 senators have already signed.

03:34 Some senators have already confirmed

03:35 that they have already signed the resolution.

03:37 I signed the resolution to show my support to SB

03:42 and gratitude to the independent institution.

03:46 Rumors are going around.

03:50 We just want to put the issue to rest

03:52 so we can work properly.

03:54 What is the loyalty check?

03:56 Something like that.

03:57 I think what he's talking about is

03:58 the perceived dissatisfaction or ambitions.

04:06 There are senators who haven't seen the resolution

04:09 but they are ready to sign.

04:11 Of course.

04:12 But I haven't received any copy yet.

04:14 So how can I sign?

04:16 They don't want to let me sign.

04:17 I have high respects to Senate President Subiri.

04:21 I'm willing to sign the manifesto

04:24 to show my support to him.

04:25 Has the issue reached you?

04:27 No.

04:27 Senator Aimee Marcos said...

04:30 There's a lot of pressure to change Migs Subiri.

04:33 But it's all coming from outside the Senate,

04:37 not within the Senate.

04:38 There are many supporters,

04:39 but all of them are from the Congress,

04:42 not from the Senator.

04:43 It's funny.

04:44 Why do they only want the Speaker?

04:46 Why do they want the SP?

04:48 We are trying to get the camera's attention

04:51 on what the Senator said.

04:53 Subiri refused to speak.

04:55 In the middle of discussing the resolution

04:57 of both Houses 6,

04:58 the three economic provisions of the Constitution

05:00 are far from being amended.

05:02 It needs 18 votes to pass it to the Senate.

05:06 But Senator Risa Contiveros has been saying

05:08 for a few weeks

05:09 that it's possible for them to be with

05:11 Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel

05:13 in voting against RBH 6.

05:16 At first, they were confident.

05:18 They announced that they have 18 votes.

05:22 But I think they will vindicate

05:24 that it's not accurate.

05:26 And until now, I believe,

05:29 we still have a fighting chance

05:31 to form at least seven that we need

05:35 to bring down RBH 6.

05:39 One of the people who said

05:40 that the amendment to the Constitution

05:42 is Senator Cynthia Villar.

05:44 No.

05:46 I think it's not important.

05:49 We can do it through legislation.

05:51 We already passed the Public Service Act

05:53 for public service.

05:55 So there are only two,

05:56 education and media.

06:01 Congressmen also supported Chacha.

06:03 They have a message for the Senate.

06:05 I think it is now incumbent

06:09 on the Senate President

06:12 to show his leadership

06:14 to muster enough votes

06:16 so that we can get RBH 6

06:18 approved in the Senate.

06:19 In the House of Representatives,

06:20 the Committee of the Whole

06:21 will continue to discuss

06:22 the RBH 7 version of the House of Representatives

06:24 to Chacha.

06:25 The positions of CHED and DEPED

06:27 in opening the education sector

06:29 to foreigners are different.

06:30 Will it allow foreign entities to teach?

06:33 For this, the Department respectfully

06:36 and strongly objects to the amendment.

06:39 This may result in the possible dilution

06:42 of the fundamental aspects

06:44 of Filipino identity, culture,

06:48 and values to be taught.

06:50 And worse, endanger national security.

06:53 The Commission does not object.

06:58 What we have observed

06:59 in the other ASEAN countries

07:01 over the past years

07:03 is that opening up ownership

07:06 and control of educational institutions

07:08 in higher education

07:11 has made them more competitive

07:13 in their internationalization efforts.

07:15 For GMA Integrated News,

07:18 Mav Gonzales, your Saksi.

07:20 The Philippines will be in danger

07:23 if its sovereignty

07:25 is left to the West Philippine Sea.

07:27 That's what President Bobo Marcos said

07:30 in a forum in Australia.

07:31 And the President also asked

07:33 why he changed his position

07:35 on his administration

07:36 in facing China

07:38 compared to the previous administration.

07:40 Saksi, Ian Cruz.

07:42 In his speech at the forum

07:47 organized by the think tank

07:49 Lowy Institute in Australia,

07:51 President Marcos laid out

07:53 the position of the Philippines

07:54 when it comes to cooperation with China.

07:57 Our independent foreign policy compels us

08:01 to cooperate with them

08:02 on matters where our interests align.

08:05 To respectfully disagree

08:07 on areas where our views differ

08:11 and to push back

08:12 when our sworn principles

08:14 such as our sovereignty,

08:16 our sovereign rights,

08:17 and our jurisdiction

08:18 in the West Philippine Sea

08:20 are questioned or ignored.

08:22 Marcos also asked here

08:25 why he changed his position

08:27 on facing China

08:28 compared to the previous administration.

08:31 We must defend the territory

08:34 of the Republic.

08:35 And that is a primordial duty

08:39 of a leader.

08:40 The territorial integrity

08:42 of the Philippines

08:43 cannot be threatened.

08:45 And if threats are made,

08:49 then we must defend

08:50 against those threats.

08:51 And for me, it is almost,

08:57 as I said, it's not a matter of,

09:01 it wasn't a matter of policy choice.

09:03 It is the duty that I took on.

09:07 But Marcos insisted

09:08 that the Philippines

09:10 does not follow the likes of America.

09:12 We make it very, very clear.

09:14 The Philippines acts

09:15 for its own interests.

09:17 And the decisions that we make

09:21 when it comes to foreign policy

09:22 are decisions that we make

09:24 because we believe and are convinced

09:27 and know that it is

09:29 in the national interest.

09:31 It is not a policy

09:33 that has been foisted upon us

09:36 by any country.

09:38 The President also attended

09:39 the Philippine Business Forum

09:41 where the President encouraged

09:43 businessmen from Australia

09:45 to invest in the country.

09:47 There was also a presentation

09:48 of 14 business agreements

09:50 between the Philippines and Australia.

09:51 Secretary Alfredo Pascual said

09:54 that the investment of Australian business

09:58 in the Philippines

09:59 is a good thing.

10:01 Earlier this morning,

10:03 the President and Cambodian Prime Minister

10:05 Hun Manet had a bilateral meeting

10:08 as part of the agreement.

10:10 The strengthening of agriculture

10:12 and rice is a particular issue.

10:16 Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo

10:20 and Australian Foreign Affairs Secretary

10:23 Penny Wong

10:24 were at the Maritime Cooperation Forum

10:26 sidelines of the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit.

10:28 He urged the following rules of law

10:30 in resolving the dispute

10:32 in the South China Sea.

10:33 In one interview,

10:34 Manalo defended the government's

10:36 actions against the public

10:38 of what is happening

10:40 in the West Philippine Sea.

10:41 If you would stop harassing us

10:42 and perhaps performing other actions,

10:47 there wouldn't be any news to report.

10:52 This evening, the President also met

10:54 with the Filipino community

10:56 here in Melbourne

10:57 to thank them for their contribution

10:59 not only here in Australia

11:01 but also in the Philippines.

11:04 Tomorrow, the President is expected

11:06 to have a bilateral meeting

11:08 and he will be brought

11:09 to the official welcome dinner

11:11 for the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit.

11:14 From Melbourne, Australia,

11:16 for GMA Integrated News,
