00:00 The Department of Justice is now impounding the person who committed sexual abuse and qualified human trafficking,
00:06 the Kingdom of Jesus Christ Leader Pastor Apollo Quibuloy.
00:10 That is after the corruption of the DAVOS City Prosecutor's Office
00:14 for the complaint of rape against Quibuloy by a minor was also reversed by Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla.
00:21 Aside from the look-out bulletin order issued,
00:23 the DOJ will also issue a precautionary hold departure order so that Quibuloy will not be able to leave the country.
00:30 They will also ask the Supreme Court to transfer to Manila the hearing and the appointment of a special panel of prosecutors.
00:38 Remulla clarified that the complaint is just a job and has no politics.
00:44 The complaint was addressed by the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family, Relations,
00:49 and Gender Equality Chairperson Senator Risa Ontiveros.
00:53 According to Quibuloy's camp, the pastor is facing the cases against him in court.
00:59 The Senate is now arresting the leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, Pastor Apollo Quibuloy.
01:07 Let's go to the report on the spot of Mav Gonzalez.
01:11 Mav.
01:14 Raffy, the Senate is now arresting Pastor Apollo Quibuloy after he did not attend the hearing of the Senate this morning, even though he was already arrested.
01:23 Before this, Quibuloy was arrested three times by the invitation of the Senate Committee on Women and Children,
01:28 which is investigating the abuses of some members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, so he was already arrested.
01:35 According to the committee chair, Senator Risa Ontiveros,
01:38 Quibuloy's lawyer, Atty. Elvis Balayan, wrote to him. It is written here that if Quibuloy will attend a committee,
01:46 he will be declared guilty against his right to presume innocence until proven guilty and against his right against self-incrimination.
01:56 Quibuloy is embarrassed and harassed by the public trials he's doing in the Senate and media.
02:02 Quibuloy said that he will only be presented in the Philippines court and not in the Senate hearing.
02:08 But Ontiveros insisted that if the Senate will allow the witnesses who did not present in the committee,
02:13 because of these reasons, the Senate will have no power to launch an investigation.
02:17 It's easy to avoid investigation of false officials and criminals.
02:23 Because of this, Ontiveros was knighted in contempt and was arrested to present himself in the Senate.
02:30 But only now, Senator Robin Padilla was knighted in contempt. According to the rules of the Senate,
02:36 Ontiveros said that the contempt order can be reversed within a week if there's a majority vote.
02:41 But for now, Senator Padilla is the only one who was knighted.
02:46 Meanwhile, before the hearing, Quibuloy's supporters came to the Senate.
02:50 While holding the big placard, they shouted justice for Quibuloy and lowering Senator Ontiveros' position.
02:57 They also said that they will not be paid.
03:00 The police were on guard so that the protesters and those who are causing trouble will not enter the Senate.
03:06 According to the PNP, almost 1,000 people joined the protest.
03:10 Until now, there's no news on whether Pastor Quibuloy will come, but his lawyer, Rafi, left the hearing.
03:18 Thank you very much, Ma'am Gonzalez.
