00:00The former members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ accused Pastor Apolo Kibuloy of abusing and harming women,
00:07who was a victim of homophobia in the middle of their opposition to the Senate hearing.
00:12Maki Pulido was the witness.
00:16Finally, Pastor Apolo Kibuloy was accused by the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality.
00:23Here, he was confronted by some former members of the KOJC who accused him of abusing women,
00:29including the Ukrainian Yulia Voronina.
00:32She is the alias of Sofia, who showed her face in the re-enactment of the sexual abuse she experienced.
00:38He had the key of each room, and just in the middle of the night, he come to my room and have sex with me.
00:48Then, and you cannot run away.
00:54Did you sexually abuse women and minors?
00:59Did you use religion to sexually abuse them?
01:02There is no truth to what they said.
01:06If they have charges of criminal against me, they are free to file a case and I will face it.
01:16Kibuloy was also confronted by one of the original members of the KOJC, Teresita Valdehueza,
01:22who said that she experienced several sexual abuses in the 90s.
01:27It was always out of fear that I obeyed, a fear mixed with anxiety.
01:33It was only when I left out of the group that I finally clearly understood
01:39that the man I had believed to be God's chosen and holy was an imposter, oppressor, and deceiver.
01:50He manipulated me using his authority and power as God's unwanted.
02:20Did you force the kids to leave to sustain the KOJC's operation and to maintain your lifestyle?
02:33We don't have a police force to force the kids to leave.
02:38But if there is no police force, did you force them to leave?
02:42No, there is no truth to that.
02:45Valdehueza also experienced severe punishment within 7 months
02:49for the heinous accusations such as the theft of 3 million Pesos from the KOJC
02:54and for colluding with other ministers.
02:57In addition to the punishment, they call it dry fasting,
03:00or not being able to drink or eat for 7 to 10 days.
03:04Did you allow the abuse and torture of your members, such as the dry fasting punishment?
03:11It is not the Kingdom's policy to force people to fast in order to die.
03:23According to the PNP, their investigation shows that 200 women were raped by Kibuloy.
03:31This room is the bedroom of Mr. Kibuloy in the Bible school.
03:36There is a bedroom, something like that,
03:39with a twin, the lower right corner is the twin tub jacuzzi.
03:45This is where the sexual exploitation oftentimes is being perpetrated.
03:52When the media was in front of him after the hearing,
03:54Mr. Kibuloy said that he will answer the allegations in court.
03:58This one is like trial by publicity.
04:01We don't have a resource person.
04:03No one came from us, everyone came from the other side.
04:08The KOJC incident was not mentioned.
