00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:04The GMA Integrated News is on full force.
00:08Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and his wife, Goh, are in the same camp, in Camp Crummy.
00:15Earlier, the Senate dismissed Goh for the first time after he returned to the country,
00:21while Quiboloy was in front of the media even though his face was covered.
00:26And we are live here at the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Crummy, Quezon City,
00:34where Goh was returned before 4 p.m. yesterday from the Senate.
00:40In the last information we received, Pastor Apollo Quiboloy was also here after he was in front of the media earlier.
00:47The details of Quiboloy's arrest will be brought to us live from the June Federation.
00:58He gave up because there was no way to go.
01:01That is the reason why the DILG and PNP say that Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and his companions
01:07fell into the hands of the government.
01:10All of them were held here in the PNP Custodial Center.
01:17His body and face were covered when he was presented in Camp Crummy.
01:21He was wearing a cap with an eagle mark.
01:24He is Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, according to the PNP.
01:28His face was also covered by his accomplices and KOJC members,
01:32who were also held by the government,
01:34namely Jacqueline Roy, Ingrid Canada, Crescente Canada, and Silvia Simanez.
01:40Before this, they were also put under the booking procedure.
01:43They were also charged with Miranda Rights.
01:47You have the right to remain silent.
01:49And any statement you make may be used for or against you in the court of law.
01:55But what they got from this process,
01:57was learned by the PNP before it was shared by the media.
02:00Their mugshots were also learned.
02:03They are now in jail in the PNP Custodial Center.
02:06The Interior Department cornered Quiboloy inside the KOJC compound.
02:11That is why he was forced to surrender.
02:14For me, it makes no difference if you surrender.
02:17Because that's it. You were practically cornered.
02:21On Friday, the PNP received a tip
02:24that was hidden inside the ACQ College of Minister C. Quiboloy.
02:281,000 staff and SWAT were assigned to surround the place
02:31to ensure that no one could leave.
02:33Early in the afternoon,
02:35the final assault was expected,
02:37which was carried out by Police Brigadier General Nicolas Torre III.
02:40Nick Torre III was very serious.
02:43I told him to make sure that no one would die.
02:48Let's just make sure that there are no children.
02:52But there were surrender feelers,
02:54that's why the assault happened.
02:56So,
02:59at 10 o'clock, we heard
03:01from the feelers.
03:03The National Headquarters called
03:05because the negotiations were being held at a high level.
03:10I told them to hold until 1 o'clock.
03:12My first assault was at 1 o'clock.
03:16Let's hold until 3 o'clock.
03:18The camp of Quiboloy wanted
03:20to surrender and board the airplane to Manila.
03:24At 2.45 p.m., everyone stood up, ready for assault.
03:27I heard the call,
03:29just a moment, just a moment,
03:31and it was over.
03:33There was no airplane. I didn't see any airplane here.
03:35In 30 minutes, if you don't have an airplane to show me,
03:37or even a flight directive,
03:39or whatever, of any airplane,
03:43the assault will continue at 3.15 p.m.,
03:45if I give it to you at 3.15 p.m.
03:47The bloodshed was prevented
03:49when the C-130 plane of the Air Force arrived in Davao.
03:52Quiboloy was escorted out by a convoy
03:55that traveled with them to board the C-130.
03:59That's why Abalos said
04:01that the information was being spread
04:03outside the KOJC compound where Quiboloy surrendered.
04:07That's a true story.
04:09Do you know why?
04:11Because you were already outside,
04:13so you ran away.
04:15He's been saying that for a long time.
04:17He won't be caught, right?
04:19What the DILG wants now
04:21is to investigate and punish those
04:23who conspired against Quiboloy.
04:25Abalos was also prepared to face
04:27the complaints he received
04:29from him and the PNP chief
04:31of the KOJC compound,
04:33as well as the malicious mischief
04:35of the KOJC administrator.
04:42Emil, do you remember that
04:44a friend of Secretary Benjor Abalos
04:46is being accused of embezzling
04:4810 million pesos for the secretariat
04:50of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy?
04:52And now that it happened,
04:54he said that he will let the PNP
04:56and those who are involved
04:58to decide what to do with the alleged embezzlement.
05:00Thank you very much, Jun Veneracion.
05:03The President was also accused
05:05of arresting Pastor Apollo Quiboloy,
05:07especially that he was caught
05:09a few days before he was cornered.
05:11Because the Philippines and America
05:13have an extradition treaty
05:15where the pastor has cases.
05:17The President was asked if the pastor
05:19will be sent there.
05:21His answer to Maris' question was wrong.
05:27One of the conditions
05:29of the former religious leader
05:31of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ,
05:33Pastor Apollo Quiboloy,
05:35is that he will not surrender to the authorities
05:37and will not surrender to America.
05:39Aside from his cases in the Philippines,
05:41as part of the Special Protection of Children
05:43Against Abuse, Exploitation,
05:45and Discrimination Act,
05:47he was also wanted by the Federal Bureau
05:49of Investigation of America
05:51for cases of conspiracy to engage
05:53in sex trafficking by force,
05:55fraud and coercion, and sex trafficking of children.
05:57Sex trafficking by force,
05:59fraud and coercion,
06:01even conspiracy and bulk hash smuggling.
06:03Now he is held by the authorities.
06:05The question is,
06:07will the government allow him
06:09to be extradited to America
06:11now that there is an extradition treaty
06:13between the two countries?
06:15Well, the extradition request
06:17is not yet there.
06:19Besides,
06:23the judicial processes
06:25that Apollo Quiboloy
06:27is going to have to go through now
06:29locally
06:31still have to be done
06:33because what has been done
06:35is that we have implemented
06:37and enforced an arrest warrant
06:39that was issued by the court.
06:41For the moment,
06:43we are not looking at extradition.
06:45What we are looking at
06:47are the cases,
06:49the complaints that were filed
06:51here in the Philippines.
06:53That is what he needs to face first.
06:55Now that the arrest order
06:57of the court of Pastor Quiboloy has been implemented,
06:59the next thing he will face
07:01is in the hands of the judiciary.
07:03The President assured that
07:05his rights will be protected
07:07despite the fact that there is no special treatment
07:09that will be given to him.
07:11It is not possible that the fugitive
07:13will say what are the conditions
07:15for arresting him.
07:17That is why nothing happened there.
07:19The lawyer of Quiboloy,
07:21Captain Ferdinand Topacio,
07:23insists that his client gave up.
07:25But if President Marcos is the one who will ask,
07:27did Quiboloy really give up or was arrested?
07:29It will not be clear
07:31if we did not chase the fugitive.
07:33What happened
07:35is that he was forced to leave
07:37because the police were already close to him.
07:39Our police were determined
07:41and my instruction to them
07:43this last time,
07:45I told them, when we enter,
07:47do not leave until you get
07:49to the police station.
07:51And that's exactly what they did.
07:53The President explained that Pastor Quiboloy
07:55requested the presence of the Armed Forces of the Philippines
07:57in his visit to the authorities.
07:59But the President explained
08:01that the AFP is just an additional force
08:03but the operation is still a PNP.
08:05I hope that the AFP will be present
08:07because he did not trust the police.
08:09So fine,
08:11that's what we did.
08:13But let's be very clear,
08:15this was a police-led operation.
08:17To his credit,
08:19he said that
08:21his followers will die
08:23for him
08:25and he did not want that to happen.
08:27So to his credit,
08:29he was still displaying
08:31a modicum of leadership
08:33to his followers.
08:35For Jimmy Integrated News,
08:37Maryse Umali for 24 Hours.
08:39House arrest
08:41is one of the
08:43requests of Pastor
08:45Apolo Quiboloy
08:47to the court. If not,
08:49they want the AFP
08:51to take custody of the pastor.
08:53I know why.
08:55Because of Oscar Oida.
08:59After
09:01Pastor Apolo Quiboloy visited
09:03the PNP Custodial Center,
09:05his lawyer announced the request
09:07to the court
09:09to remove the religious leader.
09:11We filed a motion for the transfer
09:13of custody to the AFP,
09:15citing among other grounds,
09:17security reasons.
09:19We are hoping that the court
09:21would grant the same,
09:23or at the very least,
09:25a house arrest,
09:27knowing that he is already 74 years old,
09:29he has a health condition.
09:31When asked what kind of
09:33threat to the security of the pastor,
09:35he was very active in his
09:37advocacy against
09:39the NPAs.
09:41He was
09:43actively supporting
09:45the NTF
09:47ELCAC.
09:49He feels that
09:51the same
09:53should be considered.
09:55The pastor's camp
09:57continued to deny
09:59and did not arrest Quiboloy,
10:01even though the government
10:03ordered him to be cornered before
10:05joining the authorities.
10:07An arrest is only made when there is an actual
10:09person to be arrested.
10:11In this case, there was no actual restraint.
10:13As a matter of fact, when the person who received
10:15his custody,
10:17did not even know as to his exact location
10:19when the
10:21custody happened.
10:25Well, you know,
10:27he is charged with a capital offense,
10:29so a mitigating circumstance may not
10:31factor much, but
10:33he is also facing other cases
10:35which are not capital offenses,
10:37so he will have a weight also.
10:39The pastor gave up
10:41because of pity for the members
10:43of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
10:45He decided to make
10:47the ultimate sacrifice of
10:49surrendering so that
10:51the sufferings of his
10:53members would end.
10:55The pastor's lawyer was also ready
10:57to investigate.
10:59In the middle of the allegation, he knew
11:01from Paul where the pastor was.
11:03That is his option.
11:05I will not stop him because
11:07I am not afraid of it.
11:09He can do that because he is now in power.
11:11And that
11:13is within his prerogative.
11:15And I know that I would be absolved
11:17and my lawyers would likewise be absolved.
11:19He knew that only yesterday
11:21did the pastor return to the KOJC compound.
11:23He had to meet
11:25his leaders again.
11:27That is why on September 8,
11:29there was already a decision that
11:31he will surrender.
11:33On September 8 in the morning,
11:35I was informed about it.
11:37In front of the ISAF officers
11:39and the PNP,
11:41the decision was made.
11:43Prior to September 7,
11:45he was not in the compound.
11:47For GMA Integrated News,
11:49Oscar Oida. 24 Hours.
