00:00Pastor Apollo Quibuloy and a former member of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ
00:07who was a victim of his abuse are facing the court.
00:09The plea of Quibuloy and his accomplices for human trafficking and sexual abuse is not guilty.
00:17Joseph Moro has a report.
00:19Do they have followers over there? Any message or do they have followers over there?
00:23They're just standing there.
00:24That is the message of Pastor Apollo Quibuloy to his supporters who came to Pasig City Regional Trial Court Branch 159.
00:31The plea of Quibuloy and his four accomplices for the case of qualified human trafficking is not guilty.
00:38The accused is facing one of the complainants, Amanda. Her name is not her real name.
00:43I'm very happy because I didn't think that in all this time that I've been voicing out,
00:51it has really come out and it rained.
00:54Amanda was just a kid when she was recruited by the KOJC in Davao.
00:58At first, she was selling biscuits and collecting donations to remit to the group.
01:03But later, she was chosen to be part of the close-in pastoral that serves Quibuloy.
01:09She was 17 years old in 2014 when she was taken away by a pastor.
01:13In 2016, she escaped with the help of her parents.
01:17I know that there are many more victims that will be released.
01:21Let's be strong-willed. Let's tell the truth so that we can use justice.
01:27The court did not grant Quibuloy's motion to be transferred to the custody of the AFP.
01:33After the arraignment, Quibuloy was returned to Camp Krame.
01:36She will remain there while attending a medical evaluation for her request to be hospitalized in Davao City.
01:43Quibuloy has a medical condition.
01:45We cannot take hook, line and sinker.
01:48They're saying that Pastor Quibuloy has a lingering illness or an existing medical condition.
01:56That's why the order of the judge is that he should be examined by a government doctor.
02:03While four of Quibuloy's accused were brought to Pasig City Jail after the court's order,
02:08Quibuloy's accomplice will be granted a motion for reconsideration.
02:13No social media, no TV, even music, religious songs are prohibited.
02:19She will be alone. At least, she will have someone to talk to.
02:21Quibuloy also granted a not guilty plea in another case.
02:25Here in Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 106,
02:29Pastor Apollo Quibuloy is facing child abuse and sexual abuse
02:33because she was a victim of a minor who was also recruited by the group.
02:40Online, the arraignment happened in the original case that was filed in Davao,
02:44but it was transferred here in Metro Manila.
02:47The next hearing will be in October.
02:50Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.
02:55A barangay liaison approved the assistance of a resident
02:59in the DSWD's ACA Program in Davao City.
03:03The resident was forced to pay a 2,000 pesos to a woman
03:10from a 5,000 pesos assistance.
03:13The beneficiary was forced to give the money.
03:16The woman is trying to get permission,
03:19but the barangay refused because there is a connection to them.
03:22The woman refused the assistance,
03:25but they confirmed that the woman is a woman.
03:28According to the DSWD, they received two complaints like this
03:32and they are investigating the incident.
03:35They remind that other people have no right to reduce the assistance
03:40that they are giving to their beneficiaries.
03:44The first body double of Alice Guo, Alias Kath,
03:47was transferred to the NBI.
03:49She was afraid of her security,
03:51so she went to the NBI.
03:54Alias Kath was just asked to be arrested in Zambales
03:58to pursue those who were chasing the former mayor.
04:02Kath became Guo's staff within seven years.
04:06She was appointed to the Senate on Tuesday.
04:08Meanwhile, from Tarlac, she was transferred to the court
04:12In Valenzuela, there were two cases of graft against Guo.
04:16This was followed by RA 10-660
04:20and in the Office of the Court Administrator Circular No. 10-2024
04:25where the case of a government official
04:27should not be investigated in the judicial region where he worked.
04:32According to the DOJ,
04:34the closest judicial region to Kath is Valenzuela.
04:38We are still trying to get permission from Guo's lawyer.
04:42Senator Riza Ontiveros also wrote the Valenzuela Regional Trial Court
04:47to allow Guo to attend the hearing of his committee on Tuesday.
04:53It rained heavily in many places
04:56and the storm Ferdi was forced to intensify.
04:59EJ Gomez has a report.
05:02The storm Ferdi was forced to intensify
05:05The hot faith of devotees now a fan of Devon Orostro in Naga City
05:08did not stop raining.
05:11One in a million is now in the process of being transferred
05:14and in the process of changing the image of Our Lady of Peña Francia.
05:19Of course we trust in our mother.
05:20We trust in our mother.
05:22The local government is also prepared to enter the storm Ferdi.
05:26We have rescue boats and rescue teams.
05:30But even before the storm Ferdi entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility,
05:34it rained heavily.
05:38The spillway in Del Gallego, Camarines Sur,
05:41which isolates the five barangays, burst.
05:43It was difficult for motorists to travel to San Jose, Occidental, Mindoro
05:46because of the flood.
05:48Landslides occurred in Casibud, Nueva Vizcaya,
05:51Banaue, Mayayaw Road,
05:53and Piwong, Cayapa Road in Higon, Ifugao.
05:56In Santa Catarina, Negros Occidental,
05:58more than a hundred residents had to be evacuated.
06:01While in the town of Siaton,
06:03two children were rescued from the flood.
06:06In Kidapawan City,
06:08eight houses were damaged after the trees fell.
06:12EJ Gomez reports for GMA Integrated News.
06:20At 6 p.m. when the storm Ferdi entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility,
06:26the storm lasted for a few hours inside the barangay.
06:30It was last seen,
06:321,285 kilometers east-northeast of the extreme northern Luzon.
06:37The strong wind was blowing at 85 kilometers per hour
06:42and there was a downpour of 105 kilometers per hour.
06:46It continued to move north-westward at a speed of 35 kilometers per hour
06:52and it is possible that a fire broke out this evening and later in the morning.
06:57Despite this,
06:58the rain is still expected in Luzon due to the trough or extension of the storm Ferdi.
07:04It is also possible that it will rain in the remaining part of the country.
07:14More than 200 families were evacuated from their homes in the fire in Barangay San Antonio in Quezon City.
07:20The fire was caused by the Arson Trolley as part of the BFP investigation.
07:25The House of Representatives' Sgt. at Arms issued an arrest order
07:30to the law office of the former Presidential Spokesperson Attorney Harry Roque
07:33but his staff did not accept it.
07:36This was due to the lack of contempt for Roque by the camera
07:40because he did not comply with the hearing and submit the requested documents of the committee.
07:46The law office did not accept the request and Roque was not found
07:50according to the House of Representatives' Secretary General Reginald Velasco.
07:56Some residents of the town of La Castellana, Negros Occidental
08:00were evacuated due to the fear of a flood from the volcano Canlaon.
