Aired (February 2, 2025): Mga negosyante sa Surigao City, naalarma! Ang ilan kasi sa kanilang mga establisyemento, sapilitang isinara at ipinadlock ng mga armadong katao na may hawak pang mga itak at samurai?!
Hindi raw kasi sumunod ang mga may-ari ng establisyemento sa ipinapatupad nilang regulasyon?
Ang ilan sa kanila, sapilitan pa raw pinagbabayad ng permit kahit kumpleto naman daw ang dokumento ng kanilang negosyo!
Sino ba ang grupong ito na hindi lang nagpapatupad ng sarili nilang batas sa Surigao City kundi nagpapakilala pang… bagong gobyerno?!
Ang buong ulat, panoorin sa video. #KMJS

00:00Surigao City residents in Mindanao were terrified when the business establishments there were suddenly blocked by a group of people carrying swords and samurais.
00:17They introduced themselves as the new government.
00:25Businesses in Surigao City were alarmed last week.
00:31Some of their establishments were forcibly closed and blocked by armed people carrying swords and samurais.
00:50According to the armed people, the owners of the establishments did not comply with their laws.
01:04Fight! Fight!
01:08We were forced to flee. We fled when they blocked us.
01:11We fled when they blocked us. We fled when they blocked us.
01:13We have nowhere to go.
01:16Who is this group that not only implemented their own laws in Surigao City,
01:25but also introduced themselves as the new government?
01:29Who is this group that not only implemented their own laws in Surigao City,
01:33but also introduced themselves as the new government?
01:38We have a contract here for 3 years.
01:41They were the first ones to go to Surigao City last month.
01:44We thought they were from Surigao City.
01:46They have IDs and uniforms.
01:48They were shocked when they were asked to pay 1,000 pesos.
01:54We went to their office.
01:56They told us that we will get a permit only once, not like the government where it is quarterly.
02:02They were also forced to sign these documents.
02:06When we signed, they became our members.
02:09They said that this land and this store will be ours.
02:12They said that this land and this store will be ours.
02:13When the government found out that we are now their members,
02:17they said that we will not get a license.
02:19They said that they are more powerful than the government.
02:23We should be the ones who are in charge.
02:26We are not waiting for the federal government.
02:30We are just following their orders.
02:32When they told us that we will go to their office in Sabang 3,
02:36we found out that they are not members of the government.
02:39We did not agree with their will.
02:41They just did what they wanted to do to force us.
02:44They are angry.
02:46They said that we will be arrested because we will be deported.
02:49They said that we will be arrested because we will be deported.
02:54This is what the armed people are doing.
02:57This is what the armed people are doing.
03:00Around 5 in the morning on January 24,
03:0410 people stormed the store.
03:07They are making us go out. They are angry.
03:10We are dead.
03:11This is illegal.
03:12We have already got a permit from the government.
03:15We have already got a permit from the government.
03:18The government is a traitor.
03:20The government is a traitor.
03:25We are already here.
03:28We have already got a permit from the government.
03:31You have no respect for God.
03:33You have no respect for God.
03:35You have no respect for God.
03:39Because it was very strict,
03:41the store was closed and forced to be closed.
03:44That is why they were trapped inside.
03:47Don't shoot!
03:49Don't shoot!
03:53We won't go out. I'm scared.
03:57It's good that there are police responding.
04:00But these people didn't make it.
04:02The ones who caused trouble.
04:04We filed a criminal complaint,
04:06especially the alarm in scandal,
04:08malicious mischief,
04:09there's also grave coercion,
04:11grave threats, there's physical injury.
04:13The padlock used by the tribal
04:15to lock us inside.
04:17Our lives are in danger here.
04:19They said that in the live show last night,
04:21blood will be spilled,
04:22then we will be brought back.
04:24We are low-abiding citizens,
04:26and we didn't think that they would do that to us.
04:31Another one of the harassed and perverted
04:34is the one next to Sarisari Store,
04:37Rizal's milk tea shop.
04:40Rizal was also forced to pay a permit.
04:43Even though he has all the documents for his business.
04:47Business permit, ma'am.
04:49We are a special sanitary.
04:51We are also from the barangay, ma'am.
04:53Did you give that to them?
04:55Yes, ma'am.
04:56He said that it's fake.
04:57It's from the government, it's fake.
04:59Because if our government expires,
05:01and they are the federal,
05:03now they have power.
05:04If we go to you,
05:06what benefits can we get from you?
05:08From you,
05:09you won't be able to rent from the owner.
05:12What is that?
05:13And because Rizal didn't agree with what they wanted,
05:17these people also raided Rizal's shop.
05:20I arrived around 9.30 am.
05:23I saw that there was a tarp.
05:26Announcement, no trespassing.
05:28This is the tarp used by the federal.
05:32An ancestral land under the management
05:35of federal tribal government of the Philippines.
05:38Because of what happened,
05:39their business was affected.
05:41Now, our customer left.
05:43He ran away.
05:44He ran away because he has relatives.
05:47But who is the one who introduced
05:50these federal people
05:52who didn't run away,
05:53a new government,
05:55of thieves?
05:59John and Rizal are talking about
06:02the Federal Tribal Government of the Philippines
06:05or FTGP.
06:07They introduced a religious group
06:09led by their leaders,
06:11Bae Lourdes and Dato Adlao.
06:15The truth is,
06:16it's a miracle.
06:18Because Bae Dato is the one who can command
06:20the wind, water, land, and fire.
06:22According to their belief,
06:24FTGP is the real owner
06:28of the entire Philippines
06:30which they also consider
06:32an ancestral land.
06:34Our nation is a peaceful nation.
06:36Our ancestors are princes
06:38not princesses.
06:39They are dead.
06:40Our blood is white.
06:41Our blood is holy.
06:42Blood of God.
06:43It should be red on the ground.
06:44But I mixed it with intruders
06:46and it became red.
06:47Where are the ancestral lands, sir?
06:49In Surigao?
06:50Yes, in Surigao.
06:51The entire Philippines.
06:52That's why they plan to reclaim the Philippines
06:55and they will start it
06:57in Surigao City
06:59where their headquarters is located
07:02here in Barangay Sabang 3.
07:04In Surigao City,
07:06you can find this compound
07:08which is home to 40 members
07:12of FTGP.
07:14It is closed.
07:15Those who are not members
07:17cannot enter easily.
07:19Where is the assurance
07:21if you are a member of FTGP?
07:22There is a lack of spiritual material.
07:24You cannot sue,
07:25you cannot resolve a warrant
07:27if you are exempted from any mandatory authority
07:29in the government
07:30if you have diplomatic immunity.
07:32We tried to get the permission
07:34of Datu Adlaw
07:35to answer the accusations
07:37against their group
07:39and their opponents.
07:49But he said,
07:50it is prohibited to disturb.
07:53Meanwhile,
07:54an interview was conducted
07:55with one of their former members,
07:57Gardo,
07:58a close friend of Datu Adlaw.
08:02Datu Adlaw
08:03used to be a spiritual blesser.
08:06He was like a priest
08:08who blessed people.
08:10He had two dreams
08:12to leave the Church
08:14because he was commanded
08:16to join the Sepiliral,
08:19a new tribal government.
08:21He had a strict way of walking.
08:24Every person has a samurai.
08:25That's what they did.
08:26Maybe if we were ordered
08:28by two hundred people,
08:30many of them were removed
08:31because those who do not follow
08:33the federal law
08:34will be removed.
08:35For the new members to be encouraged,
08:38the FTGP offered a job
08:41with a high salary.
08:43One of the selected
08:45was Danilo,
08:46a gold smuggler.
08:54When it came to Surigao City,
08:56they asked for 1,000 pesos
08:58for what they call
09:00Diplomat.
09:01If you have a membership
09:03in the federal tribal,
09:04if you have this,
09:05you can use it for travel.
09:08Wherever you go,
09:09this will be shown
09:11to those who check-in
09:13even if you don't have a license.
09:16Danny is also one of the people
09:18who were locked up
09:20by their Sepil
09:21by some business establishments
09:23in Surigao City
09:24last week.
09:26Federal, take out your guns.
09:28Take out your guns.
09:30Huh?
09:31Take out your guns.
09:44But despite what they did
09:46and what they were ordered to do,
09:48Ruel, Danny, and Gardo
09:50were not accepted
09:52by a cousin.
09:54I was just a victim
09:55of some businessmen.
09:57That's why this Wednesday,
09:59together with their 13 other cousins,
10:01Gardo surrendered
10:03to the authorities.
10:05How can I face my family?
10:07Let's end our partnership.
10:09What I can do, ma'am,
10:10is that I will not
10:11talk to them in the morning.
10:13They were victims
10:14of large-scale illegal recruitment.
10:16At the same time,
10:17because where they were recruited,
10:19there was a minor.
10:20We also tried
10:21the Trafficking in Persons Act
10:23of 2003
10:24or the Republic Act 9208.
10:26That is a serious violation of law.
10:29That same day,
10:30the police
10:31arrested a man
10:33at a checkpoint
10:34who was also a member
10:36of the FTGP.
10:43This angered
10:44Dato Adlao.
10:46Our people
10:47who just exchanged water
10:48were arrested
10:49without a cop,
10:50without a legal,
10:51without a warrant of arrest.
10:52You should shut up
10:53because my forces
10:54cannot fight
10:55with a gun.
10:57But the authorities
10:58defended
10:59that their arrest
11:00of the man was legal.
11:01They were intercepted
11:02at the checkpoint.
11:03The members were still defeated.
11:05The only thing they had
11:06was the samurai
11:07and the attack
11:08because they had
11:09the threats.
11:10The authorities
11:11were just waiting
11:12for the warrant of arrest
11:13to be given
11:14to Dato Adlao.
11:17We deployed
11:18a lot of police personnel
11:19in the area
11:20to isolate him
11:21and to prevent him
11:22from being seen
11:23by other people.
11:24Those who were still
11:25inside the compound,
11:26most of them
11:27were already
11:28involved in the complaint.
11:29So basically,
11:30once the warrant of arrest
11:31was given,
11:32we couldn't do anything
11:33but serve them.
11:34Meanwhile,
11:35is there a legal basis
11:36for the FTGP
11:37to say
11:38that they
11:39are the owners
11:40of Surigao City
11:41as well as
11:42the entire Philippines
11:44that according to their law,
11:46is their ancestral land?
11:56Even the National Commission
11:58on Indigenous People,
12:00NCIP,
12:01issued an advisory
12:03condemning
12:04the actions
12:05of the FTGP.
12:07The Federal Tribal Group
12:10of the Philippines
12:11is not
12:12a legitimate
12:13group of
12:14indigenous peoples.
12:15They don't have
12:16enough documents
12:17to justify
12:18that they are
12:19a legitimate
12:21indigenous people's
12:23organization.
12:24We are the government.
12:25According to the law,
12:26Republic Act 371,
12:28the law of 1997,
12:30Divine Customary Law.
12:31They are using
12:32the law
12:33in the wrong way.
12:34Self-governance
12:35should be within
12:36the scope
12:37of the law
12:38of the Philippines.
12:39We, the tribals,
12:41delegated to you
12:42to answer
12:43your questions
12:44using
12:45our sacred
12:46land.
12:47This is our
12:48ancestral land.
12:49This is our
12:50ancestral land.
12:51They cannot
12:52justify
12:53or give
12:54proof
12:55that
12:56their
12:57ancestral land
12:58is theirs.
12:59Their claim
13:00is next to
13:01impossibility.
13:02The government
13:03of the Philippines
13:04is the Republic
13:05of the Philippines.
13:06Many groups
13:07like this
13:08are formed
13:09in remote areas
13:10because the benefits
13:11of the government
13:12are not given
13:13by the government.
13:14If we can
13:15give enough
13:16intelligence
13:17to our
13:18countrymen,
13:19they will not
13:20move
13:21outside
13:22the law
13:23or fight
13:24the law.
13:25Be careful
13:26especially
13:27joining
13:28organizations.
13:29We should
13:30know how to
13:31determine
13:32if the activity
13:33is a scam.
13:34They will take
13:35advantage of
13:36the educational
13:37attainment
13:38of the people
13:39plus
13:40the poverty
13:41of the people.
13:42You should
13:43join
13:44because
13:45you will be
13:46destroyed.
13:47Tribes,
13:48delegate
13:49your answers.
13:50The leaders
13:51of the
13:52indigenous people
13:53have spoken.
13:54The activities
13:55of the
13:56FTGP
13:57are not
13:58legitimate.
13:59The fight
14:00of the
14:01IP
14:02or the
14:03indigenous people
14:04for their
14:05land
14:06and their
14:07rights
14:08should not
14:09be confused
14:10with the
14:11fight

14:14for their
