00:00 The Justice Department orders the filing of child abuse and human trafficking cases against
00:05 Apollo Kibuloy, leader of the Davao City-based Kingdom of Jesus Christ Church, and five of
00:10 his associates.
00:11 This, a day before the Senate panel investigation into Kibuloy's alleged abuses, holds its fourth
00:17 hearing.
00:18 Senate panel chair Isaonte Veros previously warned Kibuloy she would have him arrested
00:22 unless he showed up for the hearing set for Tuesday, March 5.
00:26 His secretary, Boyeng Remulia, ordered prosecutors to file a case for sexual abuse of a minor
00:31 against Kibuloy in Davao City and another case for qualified human trafficking in Pasig
00:36 City.
00:37 Monteveros calls the DOJ order a "welcome first step" towards the victim-survivors'
00:41 cry for justice, peace, and healing.
00:43 Kibuloy and his associates' whereabouts are unclear as of this posting, but the preacher
00:48 earlier said he was in hiding for fear of his life.
