00:00The issue of red-tagging was raised in the budget hearing of the DILG as well as the actions of the government and the PNP
00:07so that the big personality that the law is looking for, Ian Cruz, can be found.
00:17In the allocation of P281 billion proposed 2025 budget to the Department of Interior and Local Government in the House of Operations Committee,
00:25the PNP was asked about the progress of the search for a few big personalities.
00:30The PNP thought that the budget for the DILG is worth P206 billion.
00:37If it's an ordinary person, it's easy for us to catch them.
00:41How about the personalities?
00:44We have people like Alice Goh, Apollo Kibuloy.
00:47We haven't caught them yet.
00:49What is the plan of the PNP to catch the personalities?
00:55Our tracking is continuous.
00:57Not only the Philippine National Police but all the agencies involved,
01:01especially the Bureau of Immigration and of course the Intelligence Unit from the National Security Agency.
01:08Yet the DILG Secretary, Benhar Abalos, is not stopping to find the well-known personalities.
01:14The PNP is demanding that we raid the Kingdom of Jesus.
01:20And we are going to answer these accusations against us.
01:23That's for the record. We are not like that.
01:26The issue of red-tagging was also raised.
01:28Based on the study of the Ateneo Human Rights Center, it is still continuing until this year.
01:34We don't want to red-tag anymore.
01:36If that happens, we have no idea.
01:39But I will investigate if that happens.
01:42If they have no idea, then it seems that they are not really checking what the local police stations are doing.
01:51It is never the policy of the PNP to red-tag.
01:56Let that be put in the record.
01:58If there is such a study of the Ateneo, we will look into it and investigate.
02:04For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz, for 24 Hours.
