00:00The Pasig Regional Trial Court ruled that Pastor Apolo Kibuloy's request for a hospital arrest
00:05which is facing a series of cases,
00:07will be appealed by his lawyer,
00:10who filed a claim for sedition
00:12following the appeal for the arrest warrant against the pastor.
00:16Mark Salazar was found guilty.
00:22Instead of being jailed in the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Kramie,
00:27Kingdom of Jesus Christ's founder, Pastor Apolo Kibuloy,
00:31asked for a hospital arrest
00:33in order to maintain his health.
00:35Kibuloy was found guilty of child abuse and human trafficking.
00:41But Kibuloy's request for a hospital arrest
00:44was not allowed by Pasig RTC Branch 159
00:48which is listening to his case.
00:50According to Kibuloy's lawyer,
00:52the court said that if he will have a health emergency,
00:56there is a general hospital inside Camp Kramie
00:59where he can be arrested.
01:01Kibuloy's lawyer will appeal the decision.
01:05The Veterans Memorial Hospital was denied.
01:08We did not ask for Davao Hospital.
01:13We asked for Veterans Memorial Hospital
01:16or if allowed, Medical City
01:20because that has been his hospital for quite a time already.
01:23We will try to file an MR and prove to the court
01:26that this is the recommendation of his doctors.
01:32Attorney Israelito Torrion asked for details
01:35if his client has any feelings.
01:37But first, the PNP said that the KOJC leader is healthy
01:42based on the daily assessment
01:44carried out by the doctors of the PNP General Hospital.
01:48In the pre-trial hearing earlier in Pasig Court,
01:51Senator Riza Ontiveros' request to the court was also discussed
01:55that Kibuloy should be sent to the Senate investigation.
01:58The opposition of Camp Kibuloy submitted
02:01before the court's decision on Tuesday.
02:04We honestly believe that this is no longer in aid of legislation
02:08and besides the case is already in court.
02:11If you are an accused and you would be appearing in the Senate,
02:15he will be subjected to so many questions
02:20and the lawyer of the accused
02:23would not have the right to conduct a redirect examination
02:27in order to clarify the answers of the accused.
02:32So that would be grossly unfair.
02:34Earlier, the former PNP Region 11 Director,
02:38Police Brigadier General Nicolás Torre III,
02:41went to the DOJ to file his claim of sedition
02:46and inciting to sedition against Attorney Torrion,
02:50KOJC Executive Secretary Eleonor Cardona,
02:53former NTF-ELCAC spokesperson Lorraine Badoy
02:57and many others, including some vloggers.
03:00This is about their prevention
03:02while trying to serve the warrant of arrest against Kibuloy
03:07and his co-accused in August.
03:09As you can see, the government is serving a warrant of arrest
03:14against five fugitives and they're preventing us from doing so.
03:19Initially, we acknowledged what they did,
03:22like calling on the people to rise against the government,
03:26to prevent the police from serving the warrant of arrest,
03:30and many others.
03:31It's just a sidetracking issue and it will never bother me.
03:35I have to concentrate on my job.
03:37The GMA Integrated News is trying to get hold of
03:40the source of the complaint.
03:42For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar.
