00:00 The group that was accused of cult,
00:02 is now being returned by the municipality of Socorro
00:04 to its former residents.
00:08 The government said that the land was made by the community
00:11 of the group that should not be inhabited
00:14 because it is for agriculture.
00:16 From Surigado Norte, Marisol Aguilar is in the news.
00:20 PIA is not only their profession,
00:27 but the land they own was also left by some SBSI members
00:32 when they went up to Sitio Capihan.
00:35 Some houses that they abandoned will not be used anymore.
00:39 It was destroyed and destroyed.
00:45 This is what happened to the houses that they left
00:49 owned by the people of 2019
00:51 when they went up to Sitio Capihan
00:53 to join Socorro Bayanayan Services Inc. or SBSI.
00:58 Even the house of the group's leader,
01:00 Mr. Aguilar, was also abandoned.
01:03 Some of the houses will not be inhabited anymore.
01:06 But some are still being used,
01:08 like this house in Barangay Rizal
01:11 that Marisa Tezada is renting
01:13 after she left her home.
01:14 What is her explanation to you
01:15 why she left her home?
01:17 She has no explanation.
01:18 Here in Barangay Sudlon,
01:20 there are the most SBSI members.
01:23 This is just one of the houses
01:26 that SBSI members abandoned
01:28 and chose to live in Sitio Capihan.
01:30 In 2019, the ghost town of Barangay Sudlon was destroyed
01:34 because almost all the residents went up to Capihan.
01:37 Not all of them.
01:39 Some were left here in Barangay Sudlon.
01:41 About three of them were divided
01:45 and the other two were here in Capihan.
01:50 One of the few who stayed here
01:52 was Genelito Contreras.
01:54 When you go out of the house,
01:56 there's no one, even if you're a kid.
01:57 Our shop here is a shame
02:00 because there's really nothing to buy.
02:02 When he left,
02:03 Sitio Capihan became a new community
02:06 with 4,000 members of SBSI.
02:10 According to the government of Socorro,
02:12 the owner of DNR
02:14 owned 353 hectares of land.
02:17 It was awarded to SBSI in 2004
02:19 under the Protected Area Community-Based Resource Management Agreement.
02:24 Who is the authority?
02:25 For 25 years.
02:27 To rehabilitate the forest
02:29 because it's a timberland.
02:32 It can be used for agriculture.
02:34 But the only thing that should be agricultural land
02:37 was made into a residence of SBSI members.
02:40 They used it.
02:41 They lived there.
02:44 In the agreement,
02:45 it was not allowed for people to settle there.
02:52 It was a violation.
02:55 Did they warn you?
02:57 Did you tell them that it was a violation of the agreement?
03:00 Around 2019,
03:01 they really didn't listen.
03:03 The local government of Socorro
03:06 is calling on the members of Sitio Capihan
03:07 to go down and return to their community.
03:10 We are waiting for the reaction of the SBSI leaders
03:14 but they are not responding.
03:16 According to the local government of Socorro,
03:23 there are 1,200 houses that were abandoned
03:27 by some members of SBSI.
03:31 According to Mamerto Galanina,
03:33 the vice president of the group,
03:35 they are waiting for the Senate inquiry
03:39 and they will respond to the mayor's call.
03:43 For now, they will stay in Sitio Capihan.
03:46 Pia.
03:47 Thank you very much, Marisol Abdurrahman.
