NewsTranscript
00:00 Because there was no show in the hearing, the Senate appointed Pastor Apolo Quiboloy.
00:05 He faced the court and told some of his witnesses that he was hurt and was abused by some minors and strangers.
00:13 And that is what Ma'am Gonzalez is talking about.
00:15 Alias Amanda did not stop crying during the hearing of the Senate earlier.
00:23 She is a minor when Pastor Apolo Quiboloy was abused.
00:27 They made me believe that I should not question his abuse because my father was wrong to question him.
00:35 I was surprised at the KJC ministry because of my father who was hurt by Quiboloy's appearance on TV.
00:46 They were recruited to the choir of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ or KOJC.
00:50 They were promised to study, watch TV and travel with Quiboloy.
00:56 In 2017, Alias Amanda became a close-in pastoral at the age of 17.
01:01 She said that it was part of the ministry's job to read Quiboloy.
01:08 She said that it was a special privilege because not everyone can hold and be close to the Son of God.
01:15 She also said that I should not doubt anything that will happen inside the room with Quiboloy.
01:24 I should just give myself to him.
01:26 She was abused by Quiboloy before.
01:29 She said that many minors were victims.
01:32 When was the pastoral that was close-in by Quiboloy, minor or not, at any given time?
01:41 During my time, we had a meeting.
01:48 We were all gathered in one room and there was a list of pastoral.
01:54 I saw that there were more than 200 of us.
01:59 But I'm not sure if it was just a close-in or if it was part of the pastoral's outer circle.
02:09 Alias Amanda said that she was accused of cyber-libel because of her allegations.
02:16 Pastor Quiboloy also had a part in her program.
02:19 I laid down my good deeds to you and you took advantage of me.
02:23 You poor people, you prostitutes.
02:26 It was also revealed that there were pastoral members who were Ukrainian, like Alia Sofia and Nina.
02:32 I leave my job, I leave my school, I leave my friends and my parents.
02:38 I already sacrificed and put the life that I choose and I leave.
02:42 I believe that this is God's way for me.
02:45 And they were just like, even your body you can sacrifice.
02:49 They're saying, don't tell anybody.
02:52 It's a very sacred ministry.
02:56 Not everybody can be like that.
02:59 It's called night duty.
03:01 I was praying that he will be just sleeping and not touching me.
03:05 Alias Jerome is a former full-time worker of KOJC who sells everything and he is remitting all his earnings to Quiboloy.
03:14 He is not allowed to court and watch movies.
03:17 So when they were arrested, they were punished.
03:20 How did you know that Quiboloy himself ordered you to be tortured?
03:27 He called us himself.
03:29 We were connecting to the speaker.
03:32 He said, "Stab your head until it bleeds."
03:35 I felt like I was going to die or I was going to faint because my eyes and mouth were still burning.
03:41 Religion is used to deceive people and to spread evil and abuse.
03:49 The faith that is blind to abuse the members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
03:56 The committee invited Quiboloy but he did not come earlier. That's why he was subpoenaed by the Hontiveros for the next hearing.
04:03 You, pastor, should face the next hearing because you are being subpoenaed by this committee.
04:14 You are not God's child who is exempt from the authority of the state.
04:20 You are being disrespected by the entire institution of the Senate.
04:27 Moreover, this is not a religious persecution.
04:31 Quiboloy's lawyer, Atty. Melenio Balayan, was present at the hearing.
04:35 But he was not spoken to because the case against Quiboloy is a personal one.
04:40 Quiboloy should have answered his own questions.
04:43 He also refused to be interviewed.
04:45 We tried to ask for a comment from Quiboloy but he did not give a comment.
04:50 The National Telecommunication Commission suspended the operation of Suara Zug Media Corporation
04:56 which operates in Sunshine Media Network International or SMNI
05:00 while the administrative case against this is still ongoing.
05:04 They are still receiving reports that the operation is still ongoing even though there is a 30-day suspension.
05:09 There are 15 days for Suara Zug to explain the violation.
05:13 In a text statement, the legal officer of SMNI said that they cannot be trusted with the order of the NTC that has no basis.
05:21 Their legal steps are being studied including the filing of a motion for reconsideration.
05:27 For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzalez, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
