00:00 The Senate is now calling on the head of Socorro Bayanihan Services for an investigation
00:05 on allegations against the so-called cult.
00:08 The Human Rights Commission will also investigate.
00:11 Chino Gaston has a report.
00:13 Good morning, sir.
00:15 Good morning, sir.
00:16 The Socorro Bayanihan Services received a letter from Metro Manila
00:20 in Sitio Capihan in Surigao del Norte.
00:23 It came from the Senate that is inviting the group to attend the hearing on September 28,
00:28 said the group's leader, Jaren Scilario, alias Senior Aguila.
00:33 The Senate is calling on us to face it even if we don't have money.
00:38 Aside from the Senate, the Human Rights Commission also wants to investigate the allegations.
00:43 Some CHR bodies will arrive there to find out if the group is actually acting against the group.
00:49 The group denied the allegations of forced marriage to minors,
00:53 drug use, and having a private army.
00:56 They also denied molesting their minors.
01:00 The organization is old-fashioned.
01:02 It hurts.
01:04 It makes me cry because there is no truth to it.
01:08 Inside Scilario's house, where it is said that the weapons, audio and video equipment were hidden,
01:14 were shown to us.
01:15 It was for the performance of their dancing and singing groups and recording of their FM radio station.
01:21 Although we cannot be sure if they have released anyone here before we arrived,
01:26 the residents also denied that they are being stopped from leaving the community and that their relatives cannot bring them.
01:33 I only go here sometimes to catch fish.
01:36 My parents live here.
01:39 They also have an answer to what a former member said,
01:43 that they have a so-called Aguila who is fighting in military training and is being armed to guard
01:50 whenever there is a police report that is being investigated in the town.
01:53 The members of Aguila, the cluster, are being trained as if we are rescuers for any emergency.
02:03 Another member, Marilyn Jacobe, is crying and asking for help.
02:08 I want to ask for help so that my son can go home.
02:13 Socorro LGU took her son to investigate against the group.
02:17 The group of the Wraith of Habeas Corpus is now eating to bring back Marilyn's son.
02:21 This is also what happened to Norlyn.
02:24 According to her mother, Norlyn was taken by the Socorro Task Force Kapihan and they were only able to recover
02:29 because of the Wraith of Habeas Corpus.
02:31 That's why I said I will really get him. What will happen?
02:35 The group is calling on the local government to talk to them
02:38 to clarify the allegations and to solve the few years of incomprehensibility.
