00:00The police searched the compound of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ for 8 meters according to the lawyer of the organization,
00:08which was denied by the PNP.
00:10Now, they continue to search the compound believing that Pastor Apolo Kibuloy is still there.
00:16We have first news from Argyl Relator of GMA Regional TV.
00:22The Kingdom of Jesus Christ showed the picture of the search
00:27in the basement of a house inside the KOJC compound in Davao City.
00:32It was sent to Attorney Israelito Torrion, a lawyer of the group,
00:37who denied the search.
00:39The search in the basement of Jose Maria College is 8 meters high,
00:44so the house is in danger.
00:47The PNP denied the so-called search in the compound.
00:51About the digging of the allegation letter of Atty. Torrion, nothing proved that.
00:56With the media, Atty. Torrion went to the place.
01:00Allow us access to JMC basement.
01:02I have been requesting for confirmation for a few days if that search is true.
01:09Until now, you have not answered.
01:11He tried to enter the basement, but the group was blocked by the police.
01:16Your officers are under arrest warrant only.
01:20That is not a search warrant.
01:22You have no right to conduct mining operations there.
01:26When the team leader came out.
01:28If I get hurt here, I will file a case against you.
01:32If I get hurt here.
01:33We are not forcing you to come here.
01:35We are just standing here.
01:40In a statement, Atty. Torrion pointed out
01:43that the PNP still does not see the so-called tunnel after 11 days of digging.
01:49So there is no basis and the PNP's belief that they are looking for K.O.J.C. founder, Pastor Apollo Kibuloy.
01:59But the PNP still believes that Kibuloy is in the compound.
02:04Until now, we still believe that he is there.
02:06He is protecting us.
02:08There is always time for everything.
02:12And sooner or later, as I said earlier, we will catch him.
02:17The police will not stop until Pastor Kibuloy, who is facing child abuse and human trafficking, is caught.
02:25There is a direct threat in front of me.
02:29But we will not give up.
02:32We will not give up.
02:35Let's remember why we are here.
02:40According to Atty. Torrion, the PNP does not need a search warrant for their presence in the K.O.J.C. compound.
02:47There is no search warrant here.
02:49The search warrant is for thieves and smugglers.
02:52We are not saying that there are smugglers inside the K.O.J.C.
02:56During Pastor Kibuloy's questioning, the Commission on Human Rights monitors and investigates
03:02if human rights are violated.
03:05As far as we know, if freedom of religion is violated,
03:08or the freedom of members to live their beliefs,
03:12in the midst of the PNP's prohibition of using their cathedral and placing cordons around it,
03:19the Commission reminds that police operations should be limited to carrying out arrest warrants
03:25and not search warrants in the area.
03:27It should be carried out according to the law and principles of human rights.
03:32However, the Commission encouraged Pastor Kibuloy to fulfill his promise
03:36that he will face any charges against him, wherever and whenever.
03:41The Commission also reminded the K.O.J.C. members
03:44that the police should not be hindered in their duty to carry out Kibuloy's warrant of arrest.
03:50This is the first news.
03:52R. Gil Relator of GMA Regional TV for GMA Integrated News.
03:59The lawyer of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ,
04:02Atty. Israelito Torrion was called by the police
04:05by the police brigadier general, Nicolás Torre III,
04:09who asked Pastor Apollo Kibuloy to walk around their compound.
04:13Torrion asked Kibuloy to walk around the compound
04:16because the foundation of Jose Maria College needs to be destroyed.
04:19Torre also said that the death threat to his family is just an excuse
04:25to hide their allegiance to the mission through gaining the sympathy of the public.
