00:00In the compound of Kinawogis Cry in Davao City, Apolo Kibuloy surrendered to the authorities.
00:20Let's look at the situation there and now, live from Davao City, we have the first news from Jande Esteban of GMA Regional TV.
00:28Jande.
00:31Yes, Egan, we just passed through the Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound.
00:35It's only more than a kilometer away from where we are here at the Police Regional Office 11.
00:42The situation there is very calm and quiet.
00:46All the gates are closed and there are no more police deployed.
00:51That's after their 16-day operation in the KOJC compound.
00:59When the authorities arrested the Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder, Pastor Apolo Kibuloy yesterday,
01:06Here are the policemen. They are slowly pulling out.
01:12More than 2,000 policemen have already left the compound.
01:18They are among those who guarded the KOJC compound in Davao City since August 24,
01:25to serve as a warrant of arrest for Pastor Kibuloy and four other accused in the case of human trafficking and child and sexual abuse.
01:34The situation inside and outside the KOJC has calmed down.
01:38The members of the KOJC also held a thanksgiving prayer.
01:43According to PNP spokesperson, Police Colonel Gene Fajardo,
01:47they held Pastor Apolo Kibuloy and other accused,
01:51Jackielyn Roy, Ingrid Caneda, Cresente Caneda, and Silvia Simanez.
01:56They surrendered after giving a 24-hour ultimatum and had a deal on Monday afternoon.
02:06The PNP gave an ultimatum that they surrendered.
02:10Otherwise, we will enter a particular building that does not allow us to enter.
02:17So there was a negotiation.
02:19The PNP, led by the intelligence group and ISAP, helped this,
02:25that led to the peaceful surrender of Pastor Kibuloy and four others.
02:30According to Fajardo, Kibuloy was flown from Davao City, Lulan, by the C-130.
02:35At 6.30 p.m.
02:37At 8 p.m. this evening, he landed at Villamor Air Base and was taken to the PNP's custodial facility.
02:44When they arrived at the custodial facility, they were given the same warrant.
02:49If you can remember, these are three cases.
02:51Pastor Kibuloy was charged with child abuse, sexual abuse, and qualified trafficking.
02:58They were charged with these three cases and their lawyer was present.
03:03The Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjur Abalos was the first to sign the warrant.
03:08He was in the custody of the authorities in Kibuloy on Sunday night
03:12after being searched for several weeks inside the KOJC compound.
03:18In the picture from Secretary Abalos, you can see Pastor Kibuloy
03:22together with Attorney Israelito Trion, the Chief Legal Counsel of KOJC,
03:26and Police Brigadier General Romeo Macapas, the Chief of the PNP Intelligence Group.
03:31In the interview of GMA Regional TV 1 Mindanao with Police Brigadier General Nicolas Torre III,
03:37Director of Police Regional Office 11, he has no idea where Pastor Kibuloy was arrested.
03:45I really do not know the details.
03:47Please ask SILG because he is the one who knows the details of this.
03:53Even so, he is happy that the authorities finally arrested Kibuloy after being searched for several weeks.
04:01Torre is ready to face the cases against him by KOJC.
04:07Okay, let's answer as they come.
04:09Meanwhile, in the Facebook post of Attorney Trion,
04:12he explained that Pastor Kibuloy gave up because he felt sorry for what was happening to his members in KOJC,
04:20especially with the destruction of their compound.
04:24Attorney Trion also thanked several officials of the government,
04:29Philippine Army and Philippine National Police who helped in the arrest of Pastor Kibuloy.
04:41Later, Police Brigadier General Nicolas Torre III will lead the flag-raising ceremony here
04:49in Police Regional Office 11.
