00:00Next up is the entry of high-tech equipment by the police after the court ruled that the warrant of arrest against Pastor Apollo Kibuloy will continue.
00:13That's why his religious group went to Davao City Engineering Office to stop the drilling of their compound.
00:22From Davao City, Syril Chavez of GMA Regional TV is live.
00:28Syril?
00:33Ma'am, on the 6th day of the warrant of arrest against Pastor Apollo Kibuloy and other accused,
00:41different types of equipment were brought by the police inside the KOJC compound.
00:47Police also arrived from different regions of the country.
00:56The search for Pastor Apollo Kibuloy by the police is being held at the KOJC Cathedral and Jose Maria College Building.
01:05They opened a steel door that was covered in a cemented place.
01:11But instead of the entrance of the bunker, they were surrounded by a foul smell.
01:18This wall was also searched, but the secret entrance was still not found.
01:25Based on the detected device, it can be said that there is an underground facility.
01:38Police also entered a room in the cathedral, but nothing was found.
01:45The issuance of the TPO was precisely done to eliminate PNP's restriction and control of the premises.
01:55Their presence here, because we think that the warrant of arrest was served.
02:00Pastor Apollo Kibuloy is not here.
02:03According to the Davao Regional Trial Court,
02:06the issuance of the TPO does not prohibit the operation of the KOJC compound and the service of the warrant of arrest.
02:16Today, PNP entered the KOJC compound with other equipment,
02:22including a large blue box that was seized by the KOJC.
02:27It did not pass through the security X-ray.
02:32In the cathedral, there is a life and motion tracer.
02:36There is also a life detector equipment and a proton-elect device.
02:41All of these devices can detect the vital signs of people, movements and voices,
02:48and are often used in search and rescue operations.
02:52The metal detector used was claimed by the KOJC.
02:57If you are looking for a person, why a metal detector?
03:00If they are looking for gold, and if they see gold, that will be their reason.
03:06Because under Article 12, Section 2 and 3 of the 1987 Constitution,
03:11the state has power to control all natural resources.
03:19The long-range acoustic device also arrived,
03:22an equipment that produces a loud sound that is heard even in a faraway place.
03:28It is also used in crowd control.
03:31In a picture from the KOJC's legal team,
03:34you can see the food that is expected to enter the compound in bits.
03:39But it was discovered that it was a concrete cutter that passed through the scanner.
03:44We are now collecting information about this from the PNP.
03:48Until yesterday, the PNP allowed other equipment to enter the compound.
03:52But the PNP's mouth was shut on this equipment.
03:56But it was legalized.
03:58The ground commander doesn't want to reveal this part of the operational data,
04:04operational information that could jeopardize conducting and serving the warrant of arrest.
04:12Dagdag Police from Northern Mindanao also arrived in Davao City.
04:17Other parts of Davao Region and Soksarjin will help in the civil disturbance management.
04:23The operation and killing inside and outside the KOJC compound is already 24-7.
04:29There are also soldiers who will help in crowd control.
04:32The PNP explained to the armed men inside the KOJC,
04:37even though President Marcos said that the police did not enter.
04:42The first to enter were the searchers, the arresting officers.
04:47There were no armed men.
04:49Our CDM contingents have no armed men.
04:51The only armed men we have are our perimeter security.
04:55And certain units, if in case, need police intervention.
04:59On Wednesday night, there were five civilians who were allowed inside the compound.
05:05But the PNP did not give any details if these people were part of their human intelligence.
05:11We don't have any other targets inside.
05:14Our target is to catch Kibuloy and four others.
05:19The drilling of the PNP inside the compound was stopped by the KOJC in Davao Injury Office.
05:31In the last count of the PNP, there were 60 injured in their ranks.
05:38Meanwhile, 28 members of the KOJC filed their cases.
05:43But according to the KOJC, 16 members were injured.
05:50The PNP here in the KOJC served a warrant of arrest.
05:57And one of the results of their operation was the death of a member.
