00:00The PNP is looking for an answer from former President Rodrigo Duterte for the obstruction of justice.
00:07Duterte said that he knows where Pastor Apolo Quibuloy is wanted, but it's a secret where he's wanted.
00:15Jonathan Andal has a report.
00:21In April, the courts in Davao and Pasig issued warrants to arrest Pastor Apolo Quibuloy.
00:27He's wanted for several cases including child abuse and qualified human trafficking.
00:32Authorities went to the properties of Quibuloy in Davao region, but the pastor is still not found.
00:38If former President Duterte will ask where Quibuloy is?
00:42Pastor, maybe you should surrender. Don't surrender, just run away.
00:46But if you ask where the pastor is, I know. I know where the pastor is, but it's a secret.
00:56The PNP is looking for an answer from former President Rodrigo Duterte for the obstruction of justice of Pastor Apolo Quibuloy.
01:02A person who knows that a wanted person is wanted may be held liable for obstruction of justice.
01:10The PNP's lawyers will study if those statements may constitute obstruction of justice or just simple words taken out of context.
01:22The PNP wants to get the full context of Duterte's statement so that it will be known that the President is just joking.
01:28But his former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea said that the former President is not joking.
01:35Medialdea also reminded Duterte's lawyer that the authority of client privilege can be violated
01:40or the confidentiality of the conversation between a lawyer and his client should be protected.
01:45The former President is now the administrator of the property of Kingdom of Jesus Christ of Quibuloy.
01:50According to Bayan Muna and Chairman Nery Colmenares, Duterte is more concerned about his personal loyalties
01:57than the law and the use of justice.
01:59The President should be held liable under the Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability.
02:05According to a legal expert, Duterte has no responsibility just because he refused to disclose the secrets of Quibuloy.
02:12I have no obligation for him to say where.
02:17Except if he is ordered by the court to say.
02:23It's going to be a moral liability or a moral obligation.
02:27There is no legal obligation for him to say where Quibuloy is.
02:32The PNP would like to ask for help if they learn about the secrets of Quibuloy.
02:37We consider them as scapegoats.
02:40These cases are very serious.
