00:00Police breached a barricade set up by fugitive preacher Apolo Kibuloy's followers and supporters
00:07and arrested protesters Monday afternoon, August 26.
00:11Authorities moved in minutes after protesters ignored warnings to clear a section of the
00:14Carlos P. Garcia Highway.
00:17The Philippine National Police Davao Region says protest organizers secured a permit to
00:21hold a prayer vigil at the Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound but not on a section of the
00:26highway.
00:27Kibuloy's supporters earlier said they would not leave the area until police ceased what
00:31they call the occupation of the 30-hectare KOJC compound.
00:35Vice President Sara Duterte on Sunday, August 25, condemned the police presence at the KOJC
00:40compound as a gross abuse of power.
00:43Meantime, Senator Yson Tiveros blames Kibuloy for tensions between KOJC members and the
00:47police force, saying it wouldn't have come to this if only he showed up before the Senate
00:52or the court.
