00:00 The investigation of various agencies against the former cult leader in Surigao del Norte is being carried out side by side.
00:10 The hearing of complaints against the former leader and members of the group has also been postponed.
00:16 That is what Salima Refran is talking about.
00:22 From Surigao del Norte, where the Sucuro Bayanihan Services is based, the Justice Department in Metro Manila postponed the hearing of complaints against the leader, Jaren Scilario, alias Sen. Aguila, and 12 others.
00:37 Even though the hearing was postponed until last June, there has been no preliminary investigation on the left-right motion to inhibit the group.
00:45 It's better to have an independent panel of prosecutors look at the case so they can objectively assess the case.
00:53 According to the Justice Department, the number of victims in the various complaints, including qualified trafficking, kidnapping, serious illegal detention, violation of the Act prohibiting child marriages, child abuse, and exploitation, will not be lower than 50.
01:09 There are sexual abuses, child marriages, physical abuses as well that were alleged in the complaint.
01:16 They are trained to be military agents of the cult and if they don't obey, they will be physically abused.
01:26 So the way they act is like a syndicate.
01:29 DOJ is expecting the petition for habeas corpus or the petition to face the victims of the petitioners,
01:36 including the parents of the members of the group.
01:40 In the case of religious freedom, there are means and bounds by which you can respect religious freedom if it goes against human decency already.
01:48 Aside from the investigation of the NBI, the DOJ and DSWD will form a task group to take care of the victims.
01:56 The group was formed in 2019 to help those affected by the kidnapping.
02:01 That's why the governor of the province was surprised when a female member complained in his office against the group.
02:09 She left the mountain. After a few weeks, she returned.
02:16 What happened was that her husband was married to another woman.
02:19 Reports of human rights violations have also reached the province.
02:26 We rescued the alleged victims. The eight minors fled without their parents.
