00:00 Not only the Senate, but also Pastor Apollo Quiboloy
00:04 will face allegations of abuse in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
00:07 He will also face several cases in the Department of Justice.
00:11 Watch this!
00:13 On the eve of the continuation of the Senate's hearing
00:21 on allegations of abuse in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ,
00:24 the prayer rally in Liwasan, Bonifacio, Manila
00:27 was held in the presence of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
00:30 They insisted that the hearing in the Senate should be stopped
00:33 and that they will stick to their principles.
00:36 According to the DOJ,
00:38 there are several cases of sexual abuse of a minor,
00:41 other acts of child abuse,
00:43 and qualified human trafficking
00:45 that will be filed against Quiboloy and five others.
00:48 According to the report of Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia
00:52 on the former corruption of the City Prosecutor of Davao
00:56 in the complaint of rape committed by a minor
00:59 against Quiboloy in 2011.
01:02 We have studied this case and what is really coming out
01:05 is that Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and his associates
01:12 really have a responsibility.
01:14 The victim's affidavit is the basis of all questions to him.
01:20 The Department of Justice issued an ILBO
01:23 or Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order
01:26 and it will also be accompanied by a PHDO
01:28 or Precautionary Hold Departure Order
01:30 along with the filing of cases in Davao
01:33 so that Quiboloy will not be able to leave the country.
01:36 The DOJ will also ask the Supreme Court
01:39 to transfer the hearing in the cases here in Manila
01:42 and a special panel of prosecutors will be appointed
01:45 for its investigation.
01:47 There is a problem in Davao.
01:50 It is difficult to demand in a place
01:53 where the power of those who are being raped
01:57 and will be raped and will be beaten is strong.
02:00 The filing of the case has nothing to do with politics.
02:03 I consider him a friend,
02:05 but this is a job that I am doing.
02:08 This is a huge success for every woman
02:12 who was left and taken advantage of by Apollo Quiboloy.
02:16 This is a welcome first step
02:19 towards heeding the victim's survivor's cry
02:22 for justice, peace and healing.
02:25 Despite the call of Quiboloy's supporters,
02:28 Senator Risa Ontiveros said,
02:31 the hearing will continue tomorrow.
02:33 They are ready to cite in contempt
02:34 and have Quiboloy arrested if he will not leave.
02:37 According to Quiboloy's lawyer,
02:39 the pastor is ready to face the cases against him.
02:43 He is assuaged by the balm of a clean conscience
02:48 that all these cases are just lies.
02:52 The time will come when all these lies will be exposed.
02:57 For GMA Integrated News,
02:59 here is the reference of your witness.
03:02 Before the witness,
03:04 in the middle of the court of Cudita in Mataas, Capulungan,
03:07 12 senators signed the resolution
03:10 giving support to Senate President Juan Miguel Subiri.
03:14 The witness is Mob Gonzalez.
03:16 In the middle of the chaos,
03:21 Senate President Juan Miguel Subiri
03:24 is being harassed as the leader of the Senate.
03:26 There is a revolving resolution in the Senate
03:28 that is giving support to him.
03:30 According to a source,
03:32 12 senators have already signed.
03:34 Some senators have already confirmed
03:35 that they have already signed the resolution.
03:37 I signed the resolution to show my support to SB
03:42 and gratitude to the independent institution.
03:46 Rumors are going around.
03:50 We just want to put the issue to rest
03:52 so we can work properly.
03:54 What is the loyalty check?
03:56 Something like that.
03:57 I think what he's talking about is
03:58 the perceived dissatisfaction or ambitions.
04:06 There are senators who haven't seen the resolution
04:09 but they are ready to sign.
04:11 Of course.
04:12 But I haven't received any copy yet.
04:14 So how can I sign?
04:16 They don't want to let me sign.
04:17 I have high respects to Senate President Subiri.
04:21 I'm willing to sign the manifesto
04:24 to show my support to him.
04:25 Has the issue reached you?
04:27 No.
04:27 Senator Aimee Marcos said...
04:30 There's a lot of pressure to change Migs Subiri.
04:33 But it's all coming from outside the Senate,
04:37 not within the Senate.
04:38 There are many supporters,
04:39 but all of them are from the Congress,
04:42 not from the Senator.
04:43 It's funny.
04:44 Why do they only want the Speaker?
04:46 Why do they want the SP?
04:48 We are trying to get the camera's attention
04:51 on what the Senator said.
04:53 Subiri refused to speak.
04:55 In the middle of discussing the resolution
04:57 of both Houses 6,
04:58 the three economic provisions of the Constitution
05:00 are far from being amended.
05:02 It needs 18 votes to pass it to the Senate.
05:06 But Senator Risa Contiveros has been saying
05:08 for a few weeks
05:09 that it's possible for them to be with
05:11 Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel
05:13 in voting against RBH 6.
05:16 At first, they were confident.
05:18 They announced that they have 18 votes.
05:22 But I think they will vindicate
05:24 that it's not accurate.
05:26 And until now, I believe,
05:29 we still have a fighting chance
05:31 to form at least seven that we need
05:35 to bring down RBH 6.
05:39 One of the people who said
05:40 that the amendment to the Constitution
05:42 is Senator Cynthia Villar.
05:44 No.
05:46 I think it's not important.
05:49 We can do it through legislation.
05:51 We already passed the Public Service Act
05:53 for public service.
05:55 So there are only two,
05:56 education and media.
06:01 Congressmen also supported Chacha.
06:03 They have a message for the Senate.
06:05 I think it is now incumbent
06:09 on the Senate President
06:12 to show his leadership
06:14 to muster enough votes
06:16 so that we can get RBH 6
06:18 approved in the Senate.
06:19 In the House of Representatives,
06:20 the Committee of the Whole
06:21 will continue to discuss
06:22 the RBH 7 version of the House of Representatives
06:24 to Chacha.
06:25 The positions of CHED and DEPED
06:27 in opening the education sector
06:29 to foreigners are different.
06:30 Will it allow foreign entities to teach?
06:33 For this, the Department respectfully
06:36 and strongly objects to the amendment.
06:39 This may result in the possible dilution
06:42 of the fundamental aspects
06:44 of Filipino identity, culture,
06:48 and values to be taught.
06:50 And worse, endanger national security.
06:53 The Commission does not object.
06:58 What we have observed
06:59 in the other ASEAN countries
07:01 over the past years
07:03 is that opening up ownership
07:06 and control of educational institutions
07:08 in higher education
07:11 has made them more competitive
07:13 in their internationalization efforts.
07:15 For GMA Integrated News,
07:18 Mav Gonzales, your Saksi.
07:20 The Philippines will be in danger
07:23 if its sovereignty
07:25 is left to the West Philippine Sea.
07:27 That's what President Bobo Marcos said
07:30 in a forum in Australia.
07:31 And the President also asked
07:33 why he changed his position
07:35 on his administration
07:36 in facing China
07:38 compared to the previous administration.
07:40 Saksi, Ian Cruz.
07:42 In his speech at the forum
07:47 organized by the think tank
07:49 Lowy Institute in Australia,
07:51 President Marcos laid out
07:53 the position of the Philippines
07:54 when it comes to cooperation with China.
07:57 Our independent foreign policy compels us
08:01 to cooperate with them
08:02 on matters where our interests align.
08:05 To respectfully disagree
08:07 on areas where our views differ
08:11 and to push back
08:12 when our sworn principles
08:14 such as our sovereignty,
08:16 our sovereign rights,
08:17 and our jurisdiction
08:18 in the West Philippine Sea
08:20 are questioned or ignored.
08:22 Marcos also asked here
08:25 why he changed his position
08:27 on facing China
08:28 compared to the previous administration.
08:31 We must defend the territory
08:34 of the Republic.
08:35 And that is a primordial duty
08:39 of a leader.
08:40 The territorial integrity
08:42 of the Philippines
08:43 cannot be threatened.
08:45 And if threats are made,
08:49 then we must defend
08:50 against those threats.
08:51 And for me, it is almost,
08:57 as I said, it's not a matter of,
09:01 it wasn't a matter of policy choice.
09:03 It is the duty that I took on.
09:07 But Marcos insisted
09:08 that the Philippines
09:10 does not follow the likes of America.
09:12 We make it very, very clear.
09:14 The Philippines acts
09:15 for its own interests.
09:17 And the decisions that we make
09:21 when it comes to foreign policy
09:22 are decisions that we make
09:24 because we believe and are convinced
09:27 and know that it is
09:29 in the national interest.
09:31 It is not a policy
09:33 that has been foisted upon us
09:36 by any country.
09:38 The President also attended
09:39 the Philippine Business Forum
09:41 where the President encouraged
09:43 businessmen from Australia
09:45 to invest in the country.
09:47 There was also a presentation
09:48 of 14 business agreements
09:50 between the Philippines and Australia.
09:51 Secretary Alfredo Pascual said
09:54 that the investment of Australian business
09:58 in the Philippines
09:59 is a good thing.
10:01 Earlier this morning,
10:03 the President and Cambodian Prime Minister
10:05 Hun Manet had a bilateral meeting
10:08 as part of the agreement.
10:10 The strengthening of agriculture
10:12 and rice is a particular issue.
10:16 Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo
10:20 and Australian Foreign Affairs Secretary
10:23 Penny Wong
10:24 were at the Maritime Cooperation Forum
10:26 sidelines of the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit.
10:28 He urged the following rules of law
10:30 in resolving the dispute
10:32 in the South China Sea.
10:33 In one interview,
10:34 Manalo defended the government's
10:36 actions against the public
10:38 of what is happening
10:40 in the West Philippine Sea.
10:41 If you would stop harassing us
10:42 and perhaps performing other actions,
10:47 there wouldn't be any news to report.
10:52 This evening, the President also met
10:54 with the Filipino community
10:56 here in Melbourne
10:57 to thank them for their contribution
10:59 not only here in Australia
11:01 but also in the Philippines.
11:04 Tomorrow, the President is expected
11:06 to have a bilateral meeting
11:08 and he will be brought
11:09 to the official welcome dinner
11:11 for the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit.
11:14 From Melbourne, Australia,
11:16 for GMA Integrated News,
