00:00This is the first time that Apollo Quibuloy faced the Senate hearing regarding the abuse of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
00:08We will now listen to Senator Risa Ontiveros.
00:10Senator, good morning.
00:12Good morning, Igan, and to all of our listeners, even amidst this terrible storm.
00:19Quibuloy called for a trial by publicity for the Senate hearing.
00:24After so many dramas, he was finally asked to face the Senate.
00:30Because of the beginning of the investigation, the appointed son of God was already an arrested son of God.
00:37But he used the line, I invoke my right to remain silent.
00:43I thought they wanted to clarify the accusations against them.
00:47But it seems like they don't want to.
00:49All of Quibuloy's friends used the line, I invoke my right.
00:53They didn't use the chance to defend themselves.
00:58But Igan, I am really proud and thankful to the victim-survivors.
01:05And Ging-Ging is one of the first pastors who was raped and abused by Quibuloy.
01:12Imagine, after decades of silence and fear,
01:17he bravely put his bitter experiences in the hands of Quibuloy.
01:23They don't have a mask on their faces anymore, Senator?
01:27They don't have it anymore.
01:29Yulia had an alias in the video and her face was blurred.
01:35Edward, who was also in the video with a mask and hood,
01:41was a former member of the 2nd Metro Davao Signal Battalion of Quibuloy.
01:46Jowar, who was also in the video with a mask and an alias, was a victim of torture.
01:54Dindo, who is from Canada, who made money laundering schemes of Quibuloy and KOJC come true.
02:03All of them confronted a powerful person.
02:08It's not easy to do that.
02:10They said their full names and showed their faces.
02:16What was the role of the five accused members of Quibuloy in the system of abuse here in KOJC?
02:23Igan, in the link analysis slide shown by General Torrey of PNP,
02:31almost all of them are there.
02:34According to the link analysis, the role of the two Canadians,
02:41Crescente Canada, who according to the link analysis of General Torrey,
02:47is the one confirming the instructions in the network of Quibuloy,
02:53regarding the illness and death of Quibuloy.
03:01Ingrid, who is from Canada, is the first to show the most number of instructions,
03:09even though she has a dotted line.
03:11It means that Crescente Canada needs to confirm that in the diagram, it's a solid line.
03:21Senator, do you have a plan to do a side visit to the KOJC compound?
03:26No, Igan.
03:28The resumption of our hearing yesterday is the last one.
03:34Because within seven months, we were waiting for Quibuloy to show up.
03:40So it's the last one?
03:41Yes, Igan. It's the last one and we have adjourned.
03:45The cast of characters were complete yesterday, including Quibuloy, his co-accused,
03:52some of our former victim-survivors and some new ones, especially Atty. Ging Ging,
03:59and Alias Marie, the new victim-survivor identified by PNP.
04:06She witnessed in person yesterday, even though she has an alias and a mask.
04:13There are also a number of government agencies and departments that investigated on this issue.
04:23That's why our adjournment of the hearing yesterday is ways forward.
04:29What are the shortcomings and how we will move forward.
04:33Sir Atty. Perez, those who were nervous yesterday have a plan to file a case against Quibuloy.
04:40Yes. Like Alias Amanda, her case is pending on appeal in the Department of Justice.
04:47Some of them have already witnessed cases, even in America, where there are four cases.
04:58Igan also discussed yesterday the possibility of extradition request from the U.S. government to our government here in the Philippines.
05:09So our other victim-survivors yesterday, who may not have filed a case yet, you should allow them to file a case.
05:18Some of them have lawyers with them.
05:21While these accusers are being arrested, what did you observe about Quibuloy?
05:28We are looking at his expression.
05:32It's either he's looking straight at the person who's speaking, but it's just for a moment.
05:38Most of the time, he's looking down and his face is expressionless or his mouth is smirking.
05:49When he was interviewed by your media in the session hall,
05:56his demeanor, when I asked them one by one if they have something to say,
06:02they all invoked my right to remain silent and against self-incrimination.
06:09Thank you very much Sen. Riza Contevero.
06:11Thank you also. Be careful.
