Transcript
00:00 Sen. Aguila and the leaders of Socorro Bayanihan Services Inc. were jailed in the Senate
00:05 after being contempted.
00:07 This was followed by hearings on the abuses,
00:10 the employment and marriage of the children
00:13 and the formation of a private army of groups
00:15 that was tied up by the victims.
00:17 Witnesses are Maris Olabduraman and Mackie Polido.
00:25 In the face of the abuse of Socorro Bayanihan Services Inc. or SBSI in Surigao del Norte,
00:32 it is difficult to relate to the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs
00:37 and the Senate Committee on Women and Children, the victims who faced.
00:40 Alias Jane, 15 years old, was accused of forcing Jay Renz-Cilario to marry her.
00:46 The president of SBSI, called Sen. Aguila,
00:49 and introduced her as a reincarnation of San Tonino.
00:52 Even Jane's mother, who has a husband, was forced to marry a man.
00:56 After the marriage, they had to have a sipping.
00:59 Jay Renz-Cilario authorized me to rape my wife because we were married.
01:14 Sen. Aguila said your husband authorized you to rape her?
01:18 We need to get a divorce. We can't get a divorce.
01:22 They need to get a divorce in three days.
01:25 Otherwise, they will be called for a divorce.
01:29 A divorce is called in prison if you don't want to have a child with your wife.
01:32 It means you will go to hell.
01:34 Aside from your wife,
01:37 are there other people who were forced to have a child with you
01:41 or who came to force you to have a child with them?
01:45 Yes.
01:47 Who was that person?
01:49 Sen. Aguila.
01:51 He didn't allow it, Your Honor.
01:53 He didn't allow it?
01:54 It's good that he didn't force you.
01:56 I was there.
01:59 I was there when he said he will have a child with me.
02:03 He said he will have a child with me.
02:05 I was there when he said he will have a child with me.
02:07 He always forces me, Your Honor.
02:10 There were many punishments for those who didn't obey.
02:13 Lovely Sabandal's sister was married when she was 12 years old.
02:17 She didn't tie the knot.
02:19 Sen. Aguila himself let her go out of the gate.
02:21 To enter the house again, she was forced to walk.
02:24 He said, "I will forgive you if you go out of the gate and go to my house."
02:30 "I promise you that you will let your husband go."
02:33 That's why what happened.
02:36 I opened the gate.
02:37 All the minors, there were so many of them,
02:40 they were watching.
02:43 There were so many of them, ma'am.
02:45 They were watching the whole street.
02:48 It was a mess.
02:50 Mark Aizano, a former member of the so-called Soldiers of God,
02:53 confessed to the abuses.
02:55 He was the head of the private army of Sen. Aguila, who was 22 years old.
02:59 We were the security there.
03:01 That's why I witnessed it.
03:03 I witnessed it, ma'am, that a woman was being raped.
03:08 I witnessed a woman running.
03:15 We ran after her and we dragged her, Your Honor.
03:19 They really raped her.
03:20 The children, since the age of 5, were not studying, but being trained to be soldiers.
03:25 Renz, 12 years old, was being carried by the soldiers to construct their barracks.
03:30 Why did you run away from the prison?
03:33 Because there was no school.
03:38 She was 12 years old.
03:39 She was not able to write.
03:41 They were not studying, Your Honor.
03:44 She was 12 years old.
03:46 She was not able to write.
03:48 Senators confronted Sen. Aguila and several leaders of the SBSI.
03:53 They all denied the allegations of abuse, child marriages, and child labor.
03:58 But Sen. Ontiveros showed a family planning form that shows a married woman with a child, the 15-year-old.
04:05 Sen. Aguila, why do you want to have sex with a married woman?
04:13 She's a child, 12 years old.
04:16 You force her to have sex with a man she doesn't like.
04:21 You married her and you're going to make sure that they have sex.
04:26 If they don't have sex, you'll punish the child.
04:31 That's not true, Your Honor.
04:35 Why is it not true? What's true about you?
04:39 I can't do it.
04:42 Are you sure?
04:45 Yes.
04:46 I don't find it. I don't see anything rational behind it.
04:52 Why do you want to have sex with them?
04:55 You forced them to have sex and you're making them regret having sex.
05:02 That's too much intrusion into their personal lives.
05:09 That's not true. Let's ask his brother.
05:12 Where is his brother?
05:14 He's in Capehan.
05:17 In Capehan?
05:18 Yes.
05:19 Can you bring him here tomorrow?
05:21 I don't have a budget.
05:23 I'll give him a massage.
05:25 Can you bring him here tomorrow?
05:26 Yes.
05:27 Can you?
05:28 Yes.
05:29 Because the senators don't believe him, they contempted Mr. Aguila and three other leaders of the SBSI,
05:35 Karen Sanico, Janet Ahok and Mamerto Galanida.
05:39 They were brought by Senate Sergeant-at-Arms to a quarter in the Senate and will remain in jail until the Senate passes a ruling on when they will be released.
05:47 They will also discuss when the hearing will continue.
05:50 They also plan to hold a hearing in Socorro to see the situation in the site.
05:55 The leaders of the SBSI were also allowed to face the preliminary investigation of the Justice Department on October 9, even though they will be subpoenaed.
06:04 In the town of Socorro, the Senators of the City of Capehan allowed the Senate to hear in Socorro Bayanayan Services, Inc.,
06:14 canceled face-to-face classes, elementary and high school, and some activities in the municipality.
06:19 It is common for people to attend the hearing in Socorro at this time.
06:24 But now, you can hardly see anyone on the streets because almost everyone is focused on the Senate hearing, not the SBSI.
06:32 Some are saddened by the decision of Mr. Aguila.
06:36 We are saddened ma'am.
06:37 We are all saddened here in Capehan but we can handle it.
06:43 We cannot do anything now but we will not lose hope.
06:48 But there are also former members who are saddened.
06:50 They are liars.
06:52 While the mother of two children who attended the Senate hearing, went out and just cried.
06:57 I cannot go home and hear what my children did because it hurts. I cannot do it ma'am.
07:05 While the Senate hearing is in turmoil, a strong force from the Provincial Mobile Force Company sent a message to Socorro.
07:13 We are here to augment our existing mobile force personnel that were deployed here last week.
07:19 There is no specific threat that the local government of Socorro is accepting.
07:24 But they are still alert, especially the whistleblowers.
07:29 The whistleblowers who went down said that they are trained how to kill and to be killed.
07:40 For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abdurrahman.
