00:00 J. Renz Cilario, or Senor Aguila, was appointed to the Senate.
00:03 Three more controversial cases were filed by Socorro Bayanihan Services, Inc.
00:08 After that, the allegations of abuse were brought to the attention of the Denetalli family
00:12 for forcing the marriage of minors.
00:15 Private Army and Child Labor.
00:17 We have first news from Manasol Abduraman and Mackie Pulido.
00:21 He will be ready in a while, Your Honor.
00:25 In the face of the alleged abuse of Socorro Bayanihan Services, Inc. or SBSI in Surigao del Norte,
00:33 it is difficult to agree with the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs
00:38 and the Senate Committee on Women and Children, the victims facing.
00:41 Alias Jane, 15 years old, was accused of forcing J. Renz Cilario to marry her.
00:46 The president of SBSI, called Senor Aguila,
00:50 and introduced the reincarnation of San Tonino.
00:53 Even Jane's mother, who has a husband, was forced to marry a man.
00:57 After the marriage, they had to have a separation.
01:00 J. Renz said that I can authorize your wife to be raped because you're married.
01:15 Sen. Aguila said that your husband authorized you to be raped?
01:19 Yes.
01:23 They need to be arrested in three days, otherwise they will be called to be adjudicated.
01:29 Adjudication is called in prison if you don't want to be raped by your wife.
01:33 It means you will go to hell.
01:35 Aside from your wife,
01:38 are there other people who were forced to be raped by you?
01:46 Yes.
01:49 Who was that person?
01:50 Sen. Aguila.
01:53 He didn't allow it, Your Honor.
01:54 He didn't allow it?
01:56 It's good that he didn't force you.
01:58 I was there.
02:01 I was there when he said that he will take me.
02:04 He said that he will take me because I was sleeping with him.
02:09 He always forces me, Your Honor.
02:12 Many were punished for not following.
02:16 Lovely Sabandal's sister was married even when she was 12 years old.
02:19 She didn't have a child.
02:20 Sen. Aguila himself let her out of the gate.
02:22 To enter again, she was forced to walk.
02:25 He said that he will forgive me if I go out of the gate and go to my house.
02:31 He promised that he will let me move with my husband.
02:35 That's why he opened the gate.
02:38 All the minors, they were so many, ma'am.
02:41 They were being dragged.
02:43 They were being dragged.
02:45 They were so many, ma'am.
02:47 They were being dragged.
02:48 The road was full of stones.
02:52 Mark Paisano, a former member of the so-called Soldiers of God,
02:54 confessed to the abuses.
02:57 He is the leader of the private army of Sen. Aguila, who is 22 years old.
03:00 We were the security there.
03:03 That's why I witnessed it.
03:04 We witnessed that a woman was being dragged.
03:10 I witnessed that a woman was running.
03:16 We ran after her and we dragged her, Your Honor.
03:20 She was really married.
03:21 The children, since the age of 5, were not studying,
03:24 but they were being trained to be soldiers.
03:26 Renz, 12 years old, was being dragged by the soldiers
03:29 for the construction of their barracks.
03:31 Why did you run away from the barracks?
03:35 Because there was no school.
03:38 I was 12 years old.
03:40 I was being dragged.
03:42 They were not studying, Your Honor.
03:46 She was 12 years old.
03:47 She didn't know how to write.
03:51 Senators confronted Sen. Aguila and several leaders of the SBSI.
03:55 They all denied the allegations of abuse,
03:57 child marriages, and child labor.
03:59 But Sen. Ontiveros showed a family planning form
04:02 that shows a married woman and a child,
04:05 the one listed as 15 years old.
04:06 Sen. Aguila, why do you want to have sex with a married woman?
04:16 She's a child, 12 years old.
04:17 You're forcing her to have sex with a man she doesn't like.
04:23 You married her and you're making sure that they have sex.
04:28 If they don't have sex, you're punishing the child.
04:33 That's not true, Your Honor.
04:37 You're just saying that it's not true.
04:39 What's true about you?
04:42 I can't do it.
04:45 Are you sure?
04:46 Yes.
04:49 I don't find it.
04:50 I don't see anything rational behind it.
04:53 Why do you want to have sex with them?
04:58 You forced them to marry you and you're making them have sex.
05:04 That's too much intrusion into their personal lives.
05:10 It's not true. Let's ask his brother.
05:14 Where is his brother?
05:16 He's in Capehan.
05:18 In Capehan?
05:19 Yes.
05:19 Can you take him there?
05:21 I don't have the budget.
05:23 I'll give him a massage.
05:24 Yes.
05:25 Can you take him there?
05:25 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 area.
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 suspended.
06:04 In the town of Socorro, the Senators of Socorro Bayanayan Services Inc.,
06:14 canceled face-to-face classes, elementary and high school, and several activities in the municipality.
06:19 It's common for people to come to this part of Barangay Rizal 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 and the SBSI.
06:32 Some are saddened by the contempt of Mr. Aguila.
06:35 We are saddened, ma'am.
06:37 We are all saddened here in the neighborhood but we can handle it.
06:42 We can't do anything now but we will not lose hope.
06:47 But there are also former members who are being forced to leave.
06:50 They are liars.
06:51 While the mother of two children who attended the Senate came out and they were crying.
06:56 I can't go home because I heard what my son did. It's painful. I can't do it, ma'am.
07:04 While the Senate hearing is in turmoil, a strong force from the Provincial Mobile Force Company in Socorro sent a message.
07:11 We are here to augment our existing mobile force personnel that were deployed here last week.
07:18 There is no specific threat that the local government of Socorro is accepting.
07:23 But they are still alert especially since whistleblowers were informed.
07:28 The whistleblowers who came out said that they are trained how to kill and to be killed.
07:39 This is the first news. Marisol Abdurrahman, Mackie Pulido for GMA Integrated News.
