00:00According to the latest news, Pastor Apollo Quibuloy filed a not guilty plea in the case of Qualified Human Trafficking.
00:07This is also the case of his accomplices, according to the Prosecutor's Office and the lawyers of the victims.
00:12Today, Quibuloy was charged by the Pasig Regional Trial Court Branch 159.
00:19They were brought there from the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Krame where they are staying after they surrendered this week.
00:27Quibuloy's accomplices are also in the arraignment.
00:30Five women who reported to the police that Pastor Apollo Quibuloy was abusing them since they were young were arrested.
00:38Aside from that, there is a threat to their lives from the so-called Angels of Death if they will speak.
00:45Let's talk about the news of June Veneration.
00:50Free education in exchange for recruitment.
00:54This is where Pastor Apollo Quibuloy's repeated abuse of the five former members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ began.
01:02Based on the allegations of the victims, the chief of Davao City Police, Colonel Hansel Marantan,
01:09they were brought there when they were young and most of them were from a broken family.
01:23Pastor Apollo Quibuloy told them that you are offering yourself to the Almighty.
01:33He's a pedophile. As simple as that. Or you can find a simpler word than pedophile.
01:41The abuse went on for several years and there is a schedule of what to do next.
01:47Like for instance, Monday, victim one, you are to be raped by Quibuloy on Monday.
01:53Victim two, you are to be raped by Quibuloy on Tuesday and so forth up to Sunday.
01:57They were shaved. They were brainwashed, indoctrinated until such time that they were, you know, they accepted their fate.
02:08The abuse of children from the so-called Angels of Death is also very scary.
02:16For example, you said that you were sexually molested by Quibuloy.
02:25The Angel of Death will enter to get even with you.
02:28To get even means they will kill you and even your genes line, your parents, your siblings.
02:39I did not dealt with that one. I know that some of them were killed.
02:45Marantan has not faced the victims in the media yet because they are yet to get a sworn statement.
02:51But there are more than 50 minors who have not been rescued from the KOJC.
02:57The PNP issued a list of new sexual abuse charges against Quibuloy, called PEKE by one of his lawyers.
03:05I'm sure all of those were planted, manufactured.
03:09When you met Pastor Quibuloy, were you able to move, abuse, molest him?
03:17No, no. Never, not even 1% chance, Pastor Quibuloy will not do that.
03:23Quibuloy's camp challenged the PNP to issue evidence and file a case.
03:28They followed the rules of court, they followed the rules of law.
03:33The accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
03:38And second, allegation is not equivalent to guilt.
03:42He expects that we will not stop until these kids get justice for them.
03:48Quibuloy's lawyer also appealed that the religious leader should not be judged immediately.
03:53He just said that it's just a fight, as long as the truth is with him, he is innocent.
03:59We all know that this is not just about law, this is partly politics.
04:03June Veneration reporting for GMA Integrated News.
04:08Let's update on Pastor Apolo Quibuloy's arraignment and four others in Pasig RTC.
04:13We have on the spot, Joseph Morong.
04:16Joseph.
04:17Yes Raffy.
04:18This is Pastor Apolo Quibuloy and four other accused here in Pasig RTC, branch 159.
04:27According to the victim's lawyer, Attorney Ian,
04:34the four accused are not guilty in the case of qualified human trafficking.
04:46Earlier, we had a chance to talk and ask Pastor Quibuloy about his message to his followers.
04:54He said it's just a fight.
04:57Raffy, we are waiting for an announcement from the PNP about the custody of the accused here in RTC branch 159.
05:12But there's going to be a development on that aspect.
05:15Let's wait for the PNP on the sofa.
05:17Raffy, Pastor is not guilty in the case of qualified human trafficking.
05:26Raffy.
05:27So Joseph, while we are waiting for your announcement, Pastor Apolo Quibuloy went straight to Camp Kramay.
05:33They went out first.
05:35At this time, they will leave from Pasig RTC.
05:43They will ride a coaster to go back to the PNP Custodial Center.
05:51Later this afternoon, Raffy, Pastor still has a hearing in Quezon City Regional Trial Court for the case of child abuse and sexual abuse.
06:05But he doesn't need to go there personally because it's a family court.
06:10He will do it online.
06:14For the viewers, you can watch the situation live on Pasig RTC.
06:19Joseph, we can see a lot of people on the video.
06:22Are there supporters who went there?
06:24Raffy, there was a fight earlier.
06:27We are here on the fifth floor where the original trial court branch 159 is.
06:35If you look closely, you can see what's happening below.
06:41But what I can see from my vantage point here on the fifth floor, there are a lot of police and civilians who are watching what's happening here.
06:52We can hear the first face of Pastor Quibuloy's case since he arrived in Davao.
07:01Thank you very much. Let's wait for your report on the next newscast.
07:05Thank you very much Joseph Morong.
