00:00Kingdom of Jesus Christ's founder, Pastor Apolo Q. Buloy, is preparing to confront the Senate regarding the sexual abuse within their organization.
00:09It hasn't started yet. There's a new accusation against the pastor.
00:13Ian Cruz has the first news.
00:18New sexual abuse accusations against Pastor Apolo Q. Buloy
00:23The police were accused of sexual abuse while they were conducting an operation in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound in Davao City.
00:31The victims were members of a group of women called Pastoral or those in the inner circle of Q. Buloy.
00:40The youngest of the victims was 12 years old.
00:44The parents of the victims approached the police.
00:48According to PNP chief Rommel Francisco Marbil, the victims accused the victims of having an alarming pattern of sexual abuse.
01:00They are now investigating the evidence to strengthen the case against Q. Buloy.
01:06They were also victimized by Pastor Q. Buloy allegedly.
01:11He was also abused allegedly.
01:13Q. Buloy's lawyer, Atty. Israelito Torreon, has yet to comment on this because PNP has not yet provided a clear detail.
01:24There were hearings in the Senate regarding the first allegations of sexual abuse against some members of KOJC.
01:31Q. Buloy did not attend so he was contempted this March.
01:35His questions are now collected.
01:38How was it set up?
01:39That the people he recruited as believers in him and his kingdom,
01:46instead, he abused women and minors.
01:51He also abused men.
01:54He forced them to commit sexual abuse so that he could sustain his wealthy life.
02:02Effectively, he was human trafficking in different parts of the Philippines and even in other countries.
02:09Q. Buloy is now planning to face the Senate.
02:12He just wants to know the next hearing of the Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality.
02:19I will write to the Supreme Court so that maybe he is also here as a follow-up to the standing warrant of the Senate for him.
02:29GMA Integrated News tried to get an answer from his lawyer but they did not respond to our texts and calls.
02:39Senator Bato de la Rosa also wants to know the details of Buloy's case this past Sunday night.
02:45I am not yet clear on the exact details of his surrender.
02:51If you surrender, you are just hiding inside.
02:53You are just inside.
02:55If you surrender, how did you involve the ISAP?
02:59There is no ISAP inside.
03:01Right?
03:02There is no ISAP inside the compound of QGC for you to surrender.
03:08The police will let you go. The area is under their control.
03:11Buloy was charged with child and sexual abuse and his accomplices were accused in Quezon City RTC Branch 106.
03:19If the court gives its consent, the pastor and Cresente Canada will be transferred to this prison in Quezon City Jail.
03:28In the female dorm, Jacqueline Roy, Ingrid Canada, and Sylvia Semanez will be jailed.
03:35It depends on the security assessment if they will be mixed with another person deprived of liberty.
03:41The treatment, how we classify, if they will be jailed, a treatment in an ordinary PDL.
03:48It is the same for him because it is just an ordinary PDL in terms of budget.
03:53For now, the accused is being held at the PNP Custodial Center because of the PNP's motion.
03:59Buloy's camp would have preferred house arrest or to be transferred to the custody of the AFP,
04:06which is against the Department of National Defense.
04:09There is a strict security protocol in the facilities of the AFP.
04:12That is why suspects with criminal cases cannot be jailed.
04:17The DOJ has already asked the court to grant it.
04:21As far as I remember, those who are being given house arrest are those who did not resist or agreed to be arrested.
04:34This is the first news. Ian Cruz for GMA Integrated News.
