Transcript
00:00It's time for the arrest of the authorities in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound in Davao City
00:05to find Pastor Apollo Q. Boloy, our guest,
00:08the Philippine National Police Spokesperson, Police Colonel Jean Fajardo.
00:12Good morning, Colonel Fajardo.
00:15Good morning, Ma'am Susan.
00:17Yes.
00:18Colonel, what is the reaction of the PNP to the statement of VP Sara Duterte
00:22and former President Rodrigo Duterte about the abuse of power and harassment
00:27by the police in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound?
00:32What we can say here, Ma'am Susan, is that the PNP followed the legal protocols
00:40and our police operational procedures.
00:43When it comes to the implementation of the warrants of arrest against Pastor Apollo Q. Boloy and four others,
00:49we have seen it in the video footages that are being released and there are also reports in our body-worn cameras
00:59as to who is really investigating the chaos.
01:01But just the same, the PNP is implementing maximum tolerance.
01:08We will follow this until this process is completed.
01:14Colonel, when will you conduct a search in the compound of KOJC?
01:19Do we have a timeframe and is the PNP convinced that Kim Boloy is still there?
01:26We are not giving a target or a deadline for our search for Kim Boloy and others.
01:34But as our chief PNP said yesterday, we believe that the people we are looking for are there.
01:43We have informants inside, but it's very big. We are talking about more than 30 hectares.
01:52There are buildings, there are secret rooms and passages. It's very difficult.
01:58The biggest challenge in what we are doing is resistance.
02:04We are deliberating on what the members of KOJC are doing.
02:09We have discussed this yesterday and last night until dawn,
02:13on how they set up a scenario and made a mess.
02:18We are looking at it as a diversionary tactic on their part,
02:23because they know that we are already searching for the people we are looking for.
02:28You said that this compound is about 30 hectares.
02:33What did the authorities discover?
02:36Last night until dawn, we used special equipment to detect the heat map.
02:48We found that there are possible heartbeats beneath a concrete area.
02:57We are looking for the entrance of the big block down there.
03:04We found that there are heat indexes coming from a living thing or a person.
03:17There are heartbeats that we are detecting.
03:20We are surprised why we cannot see in a glance where the entrance is.
03:27It's coming from a big cement block that we are monitoring.
03:35Last night, that's the development we are looking at.
03:39We are continuously looking for a way to find out the origin of these heartbeats.
03:46There are rooms with names of young women. What is the truth about this, Colonel?
03:53This is part of the discovery that we are continuously looking for people.
04:00Currently, we have not received the complete report.
04:05But the people we are looking for are surprised by their discoveries.
04:11In the so-called secret rooms and bank passages,
04:19the police who are supposed to look for people are suspicious
04:25because there are a lot of drugs and drugs that we are looking for and going to so far, ma'am.
04:33The two rescued members of KOJC, Colonel, where are they now and how are they?
04:40They are under the custody of the DSWD.
04:43After we rescued them yesterday afternoon,
04:47they are now undergoing debriefing and counseling under the leadership of the DSWD.
04:53Okay. Thank you very much, PNP spokesperson, Police Colonel Jean Pajardo.
04:58Good morning to you.
05:00Good morning, ma'am. Good morning.
