00:00 Not only the stations in the media released their Christmas Station ID,
00:08 but also the Socorro Bayanihan Services Incorporated or SBSI,
00:13 the group accused of cult led by their leader, J. Renz Killario or alias Senor Aguila.
00:22 But will their Christmas be merry this week?
00:27 You have the right to remain silent.
00:29 Senor Aguila and his 12 other officials and members were arrested by the NBI
00:36 after a warrant of arrest was issued against them by a court in Surigao del Norte
00:42 for the case of Qualified Trafficking in Persons.
00:46 It's a bit shocking because not all the cases are true.
00:50 Justice! Justice! Justice!

00:59 In 2019, when the magnitude 5.9 earthquake hit the town of Socorro in Surigao del Norte,
01:07 residents were called to the mountains
01:12 and were also invited by the D.O.Mano to introduce their new savior,
01:18 the 17-year-old J. Renz.
01:22 Who was later called Senor Aguila.
01:26 The Senor promised that we will go to heaven.
01:30 He said that there will be an aftershock and tsunami.
01:33 But in their life in the mountains, the children were forced to work.
01:39 [Chanting]
01:41 The mother was in military training.
01:44 [Music]
01:48 The minors were also illegally married and forced to have children.
01:54 There was no forced marriage.
01:56 I'm not married. I'm not a priest.
01:59 Some of the members who were receiving benefits from the government were being raped.
02:06 Our funds are for helping each other.
02:10 We are from the village.
02:12 In the Senate, former members of the Senate were investigated, including 15-year-old Jane.
02:20 She is not a real name. She was forced to be married by Senor Aguila.
02:25 How old is your husband?
02:27 He's 19 years old.
02:29 Is your husband your first boyfriend?
02:32 I don't know him.
02:34 Who chose your husband for you?
02:36 Senor Aguila.
02:37 [Music]
02:39 If you are married, you need to have children.
02:43 They said that your husband should be your first boyfriend because you are an authorized first boyfriend.
02:49 12 years old, you forced him to have sex?
02:52 That's the truth, Your Honor.
02:53 Jane also admitted that she was sometimes forced to have sex with Senor Aguila.
03:00 I cried.
03:01 It's good that you were not forced.
03:03 I was forced to have sex with him.
03:11 [Music]
03:12 I was forced to have sex with him.
03:15 [Crying]
03:17 I was forced to have sex with him.
03:18 [Music]
03:21 They say that the purpose of the Salonera Training Camp is to develop pro-cultural purposes through video filming.
03:29 That's just a prop.
03:31 Is that just a prop?
03:32 No, it's a weapon.
03:34 [Music]
03:35 There is a punishment if you find out that you have escaped.
03:38 Sometimes, you are restricted in the jail and you are forced to have sex there.
03:43 It's not prohibited, it's regulated.
03:45 We might be put in jail by bad people.
03:48 [Music]
03:51 We swear to tell the truth.
03:53 On November 7, there were new testimonies given to the Senate, including 79-year-old Father Pedrito,
04:02 who was tortured by the armed group of the SBSI known as the Aguilas.
04:09 It was after this that Mamerto Galanida, the vice president of the SBSI, was stabbed.
04:17 I would like to play this video.
04:19 Before, you were close with Mamerto, but he told you that he was possessed by black magic and he was stabbed, is that right?
04:25 When I was stabbed, I was in a state of shock.
04:30 I was in a state of shock.
04:32 I was in a state of shock.
04:34 Bang!
04:35 I was shot in the back of my head.
04:38 The one who was accused of stabbing Father Pedrito was the leader of the Aguilas, known as Pidoy Buntad.
04:46 I don't know him.
04:47 Was he the one who stabbed you?
04:49 Yes.
04:50 Are you sure?
04:51 Yes.
04:52 Randolph was not allowed to go down the mountain to bring his newborn child to the hospital.
04:59 I told the women there that I will take my child out because the child is already alive.
05:06 The women said that the Aguilas are prohibiting us from doing anything.
05:11 His baby was killed.
05:13 It is estimated that 200 babies and children were buried by a group in the top of a mountain.
05:21 It was dug by NBI officers and one of the buried babies was the baby's mother who was infected with Randolph's DNA.
05:30 It was very hard for me, but I was also happy because my child was really there.
05:35 According to Randolph, there were also instances where the Aguilas himself conducted an internal examination of the pregnant women or the poor babies, even if he was not a doctor.
05:48 My wife said that it was done by the IAEC because we know the doctor there.
05:54 In case the baby was already born.
05:58 Jerins, is it true that you were the one who conducted the IAE? Because you were the doctor there?
06:03 I don't know what he's saying.
06:05 It's a matter of fate, Mr. Chair.
06:09 One of the first to be accused of abusing the SBSI was his former member, Lovely.
06:17 Lovely's father is one of those who died in Kapihan after he was not allowed to go to the hospital.
06:24 Because Lovely escaped from the Kapihan site, he was not allowed to enter his father's grave.
06:32 We were in a bad mood, especially in my mother's grave. They forced me to leave.
06:38 On October 30, Lovely went to Kapihan again to visit his father's grave.
06:47 When we went to the grave, there were a lot of Aguilas who joined us.
06:56 But they were again tensed when they faced the people who were left behind by their relatives in the mountains.
07:02 You are our children, Aguilas. We are your children.
07:05 You are our children. We are your children.
07:09 Will he be able to convince these people to go down the mountain?
07:14 We are not going down the mountain.
07:15 We are not going down the mountain.
07:16 We are not going down the mountain.
07:17 We are not going down the mountain.
07:18 We are not going down the mountain.
07:19 We are not going down the mountain.
07:20 The group of Sen. Aguila also panicked after the arrest of them.
07:25 We know that the new brainwashing that is being done by the SPSI leaders in Kapihan is that Sen. Aguila's diwa has already transferred.
07:34 What will happen to the members of the cult in Surigao?
07:40 On behalf of the 13 of us, with your respect, I'd like to inform you.
07:44 Coming up next...
07:49 The father of the former member of the SPSI, Lovely, was banned by Sen. Aguila to be brought to the hospital.
07:57 Because Lovely's walking in the mountains was no longer affordable, he ran away.
08:02 That's why he did not see his father's last moments until he was buried.
08:09 On October 30, Lovely returned to the mountains to bring his father's coffin.
08:18 When we went to Punctun, a lot of Aguilas joined us.
08:23 We were told to go home because the OIC of Kapihan was angry.
08:28 And there, he met his mother and siblings.
08:37 Helong!
08:38 We are here with you.
08:39 We are here with you.
08:41 We are here with you.
08:42 We are here with you.
08:43 If you see us dead, you will say, "Oh my God!"
08:47 The following events became tense.
08:51 You are the ones who brought us here.
08:53 We are here to help you.
08:56 We are here to help you.
08:58 We are here to help you.
09:00 We are here to help you.
09:01 We are here to help you.
09:03 We were removed from our rights to see our father die.
09:08 For how many years, our family was happy.
09:14 We were just destroyed by the wrong belief.
09:16 Helong!
09:17 I am here with you.
09:18 I am here with you.
09:19 I am here with you.
09:20 I am here with you.
09:21 You go first.
09:22 Now, Lovely has started to fix their family.
09:29 I know that our father is happy now because we have already appeased my mother.
09:35 The bad feelings are gone.
09:37 The number of people who were left in Kapihan is continuously decreasing.
09:43 Before, they were almost 5,000.
09:46 Now, it is 3,000 plus.
09:48 The families who have relatives down here can sleep here.
09:53 One of the people who were left behind in the mountains is Ivy's family.
09:58 I needed to leave early because when I saw them leaving,
10:03 they talked to me and told me to cry and not to leave.
10:07 I will not be able to get the promise of our Lord.
10:12 Along with her son, Ivy left with a heavy heart.
10:16 But her husband left her.
10:18 He did not want to go with us. He said that he will just stay with us.
10:21 But because of the continuous cases of abuse by the SBSI,
10:29 her husband was also saved.
10:35 I am very happy.
10:38 Ivy and other people who were left behind in the SBSI are now in a safe house of the LGU.
10:46 I have no plans to return to Kapihan because the promises we made to our Lord are not true.
10:52 It's all just a scam.
10:53 There is a team that is being led.
10:55 They will be allowed to receive the benefits when they go down.
10:59 There is a security team.
11:01 They will give the vehicle to go down and turn over to the social welfare team.
11:08 There is a saying that the new propaganda or brainwashing
11:13 that the SBSI leaders are now turning to Kapihan is that it's okay
11:17 even if they cannot return to their Lord because the Lord's glory has already transferred to other people.
11:25 We can see the effort to still hold on to their attachment to the thought and obedience of people.
11:32 That's why it's very important that there is a rehabilitation program that can be done
11:37 and that can be used to deceive the people, their families who have gone astray.
11:42 We've heard the testimonies of many victims.
11:45 In the preliminary investigation of the Department of Justice,
11:48 21 were found guilty of violating the law and were charged with 13 members of the SBSI.
11:57 These include 9 counts of qualified trafficking in persons,
12:02 8 counts of child abuse, and 4 counts for the solemnization or facilitation of child marriage.
12:10 The case that was charged against them is a no bail.
12:14 We can say that our evidence is strong.
12:18 [music]
12:20 Our team tried to get a hold of Sen. Aguila,
12:25 who is currently detained in the jail facility of the NBI in the Bureau of Correction in Muntinlupa.
12:31 But they said that they will first investigate.
12:35 On behalf of the 13 of us, with due respect, I'd like to inform you that we will not be interviewed.
12:41 Let's see what the roots are, why there are unrighteous acts in different parts of our country.
12:48 It's also a wake-up call to all of us who work in the government to improve the delivery of basic services.
12:55 I'm so happy.
12:56 I really cried because what she experienced is not enough.
12:59 I'm so thankful that even in the sicknesses we've gone through, we've seen justice.
