00:00 Former President Rodrigo Duterte denied that he was receiving gunfire from Pastor Apollo Quibuloy.
00:07 President Bongbong Marcos denied the accusation against him and Quibuloy.
00:12 KENT ABRIGANA of GMA Regional TV 1 Mindanao has a report.
00:16 The former member of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, Alias Rene, is facing a heavy sentence in his Senate on February 19.
00:27 Sometimes, former President Rodrigo Duterte and former Mayor Sara Duterte go there.
00:37 When they left Glory Mountain, they brought their bags.
00:43 They were carrying guns.
00:46 Former President Rodrigo Duterte answered this in the first instance.
00:52 "I was supposed to receive gunfire from Pastor Quibuloy.
00:57 I was supposed to deliver him a cannon tomorrow.
01:01 It's silly.
01:03 Why would Pastor give me a gun?
01:06 I wish he could get one.
01:08 If he says he doesn't have a gun, I'll give him one."
01:11 Former President Duterte denied the accusation.
01:15 While Quibuloy was there, he was said to be hiding because of the danger to his life.
01:20 He was also arrested for his involvement with the Duterte family.
01:24 Former President Bongbong Marcos, First Lady Liza Arneta Marcos and House Speaker Martin Rumualdez were also arrested.
01:34 President Marcos was only given a light sentence before he left for Australia.
01:40 "My advice for him is to just face the questioning in the House and in the Senate.
01:49 We should hear his side so we can know what's really happening here.
01:57 We're trying to be fair here and allowing him an opportunity and forum to make his case.
02:06 So I think he should take advantage of it.
02:09 No one wants to assassinate him.
02:12 Why would he assassinate?
02:14 Why would anyone want to do that?"
02:16 The Senate has a charge against Quibuloy,
02:19 including an investigation into the alleged abuse of several members of the KOJC,
02:23 while he was also being filmed,
02:25 and the alleged violation of the TV network franchise SMNI, where he is the honorary chairman.
02:32 Duterte said he doesn't know where Quibuloy, his spiritual advisor, is.
02:37 But he can't force Quibuloy to go to the hearings.
02:41 "It's not an order. You cannot order an ordinary citizen like me to compel me to report to you."
02:48 "For what?" "If I don't want."
02:50 But the Congress said,
02:51 "Quibuloy is being afforded due process.
02:54 The committee assures Quibuloy that they will have the chance to answer the questions."
03:01 "You have nothing to hide and you have nothing to fear.
03:04 When we issue subpoenas, we also want to hear from their side."
03:08 Kent Abregana reporting for GMA Integrated News.
