Lider ng diumano’y kulto sa Surigao na Socorro Bayanihan Services Inc. na si Senior Agila at 12 pa nilang opisyal at miyembro, inaresto ng NBI para sampahan ng patong-patong na kaso.
Samantala, ang iba pang mga testigo laban sa diumano’y kulto, lumantad! Ano na nga ba ang magiging kapalaran ng mga naiwang miyembro sa Sitio Kapihan?
00:00 We have an update on the Deumanoy cult in Surigao.
00:07 Its leader is arrested this Sunday.
00:11 Not only the stations in the media released their Christmas Station ID,
00:19 but also the Socorro Bayanihan Services Incorporated or SBSI,
00:25 the group accused of cult led by their leader J. Renz Killario or Sen. Aguila.
00:34 But will their Christmas be merry this Sunday?
00:39 Sen. Aguila, along with their 12 other officials and members,
00:45 was arrested by the NBI after a warrant of arrest was issued against them
00:51 in a court in Surigao del Norte for a case of qualified trafficking in persons.
00:58 It's a bit shocking because not all the cases are true.
01:02 Justice! Justice! Justice!
01:06 In 2019, when magnitude 5.9 earthquake hit the town of Socorro in Surigao del Norte,
01:19 residents who climbed the mountain were accused of this.
01:24 The Deumanoy also invited new rescuers.
01:30 The 17-year-old J. Renz, who was later called Sen. Aguila.
01:39 The Sen. promised that we will go to the sky.
01:42 Because there's an aftershock and tsunami is going to happen.
01:45 But in their life in the mountains, the children of Deumanoy were forced to work.
01:51 They were forced to be trained in military training.
01:56 The minors were also illegally married and forced to be married.
02:06 There's no forced marriage here.
02:08 I'm not married. I'm not a priest.
02:11 Some of the members who were receiving benefits from the government were also being harassed.
02:18 Our funds are for helping each other.
02:22 We are from the village.
02:24 The former members of the Senate were investigated,
02:29 including the 15-year-old Jane, who is not her real name, who was forced to be married by Sen. Aguila.
02:37 How old is your husband?
02:39 He's 19 years old.
02:41 Is your husband your first boyfriend?
02:44 I don't know him.
02:45 Who chose your husband for you?
02:48 Sen. Aguila.
02:49 If you're married, you need to have children.
02:54 You need to have a wife who is authorized to have children because you have a God.
03:01 12 years old and you're forced to have sex.
03:03 That's the truth, Your Honor.
03:05 Jane also admitted that she was sometimes forced to have sex with Sen. Aguila.
03:12 I was forced.
03:13 It's good that you were not forced.
03:15 I was forced to have sex with him.
03:17 I was forced to have sex with him because he was my first husband.
03:22 I was forced to have sex with him because he was my first husband.
03:32 Maybe what they're saying is a Salonera training camp.
03:35 The purpose is to develop through cultural purposes, through video filming.
03:40 It's all just props.
03:42 Is it just props?
03:43 No, it's a weapon.
03:45 There's a punishment if you find out that you're forced to have sex.
03:50 Sometimes, you're restricted in the room and you're forced to have sex.
03:55 It's not prohibited, it's regulated.
03:57 We might be allowed to have sex with bad people.
04:01 They swear to tell the truth.
04:03 This November 7, there were new witnesses in the Senate,
04:07 including 79-year-old Father Pedrito,
04:11 who was tortured by the armed group of SBSI known as Aguila.
04:18 This was after Diomano stabbed Mamerto Galanida, the vice president of SBSI.
04:26 I would like to play this video.
04:28 Before, you were close with Mamerto, but he told you that he was possessed by black magic, right?
04:34 When I saw him, I was shocked.
04:39 I was shocked.
04:41 I was in shock.
04:43 I was shocked.
04:45 Father Pedrito was being tortured by the leader of Aguila,
04:52 known as Pidoy Buntad.
04:54 I don't know him.
04:58 Was he the one who stabbed you?
05:00 Yes.
05:01 Are you sure?
05:02 Yes.
05:03 Randolph was not allowed to go down the mountain to bring his newborn baby to the hospital.
05:10 I told the midwives there that I will take my baby out because the baby is already alive.
05:17 The midwives said that because of the prohibition of Mr. Aguila, we cannot do anything.
05:22 His baby was dead.
05:24 It is estimated that 200 babies and children were buried by a group in the top of a mountain.
05:32 It was examined by NBI and one of the 10 babies that was found in Randolph's DNA were found.
05:42 It was very hard for me, but I am happy because my baby is alive.
05:47 According to Randolph, there were also instances where Mr. Aguila himself conducted an internal examination of the pregnant women or the poor babies,
05:58 even if he was not a doctor.
06:00 My wife said that it was done by the IEC because we know Mr. Aguila as a doctor there.
06:06 In case the baby is already born, the baby is already born.
06:10 Jerens, is it true that you conducted the IEC because you were the doctor there?
06:15 I don't know what you're talking about.
06:17 One of the first to be accused of abusing the SBSI was his former member, Lovely.
06:29 Lovely's father was one of the dead in Capihan after he was not allowed to go to the hospital.
06:36 Because Lovely escaped from the Capihan site, he was not allowed to enter his father's grave.
06:44 My family and I were very upset.
06:46 Especially my mother, they forced me to leave.
06:49 On October 30, Lovely went to Capihan again to visit his father's grave.
06:59 When we went to the grave, many Aguilas joined us.
07:08 But they were again tensed when they faced the abandoned relatives in the mountains.
07:14 Aguila's relatives, we want to see you. We want to see you.
07:21 Will he be able to convince these people to go down the mountain?
07:26 We will talk about this. We will talk about this.
07:29 We will talk about this.
07:30 We will talk about this.
07:31 You go down.
07:32 The group of Mr. Aguila also panicked after they were arrested.
07:37 We know that the new brainwashing that the SBSI leaders are doing in Capihan is that Mr. Aguila's spirit has already transferred.
07:46 What will happen to the members of the cult in Surigao?
07:52 On behalf of the 13 of us, with due respect, I would like to inform you.
07:56 Next.
08:01 The father of the former member of the SBSI, Lovely, was banned by Mr. Aguila to be brought to the hospital.
08:09 Because Lovely's walking in the mountains was no longer affordable, he ran away.
08:14 That's why he did not see his father's last moments until he was buried.
08:21 On October 30, Lovely returned to the mountains to visit his father's grave.
08:30 When we went to the mountain, many Aguilas joined us.
08:34 We were told to go home because the OIC of Capihan was angry.
08:40 And there, he met his mother and siblings.
08:59 The following events became tense.
09:02 We were removed from our rights to see our father die.
09:19 For how many years did our family live happily, we were just destroyed by false beliefs.
09:28 Help!
09:29 Where is the family?
09:31 Where is the family?
09:32 You go first.
09:33 Now, Lovely has started to fix their family.
09:40 I know that our father is happy now because we have already appeased my mother.
09:47 The bad feelings are gone.
09:49 The number of people who were left in Capihan site is continuously decreasing.
09:55 Before, they were almost 5,000. Now, it's about 3,000 plus.
09:59 The families who have relatives down here can sleep here.
10:04 One of the people who were left in the mountains is Ivy's family.
10:10 I had to leave early because when I saw that I was leaving,
10:15 they talked to me and told me to cry and not to leave.
10:19 I will not be able to get the promise of the Lord Aguila, my heaven.
10:24 Along with her son, Ivy left with a heavy heart.
10:27 But her husband left her.
10:30 He did not want to go with us. He said he will just stay with us.
10:33 But because of the continuous cases of abuse by the SBSI,
10:41 her mister was also saved.
10:47 I am very happy.
10:50 Ivy, along with other people who were left in the SBSI, is now in a safe house of the LGU.
10:57 I have no plans to return to Capihan because what we promised to the Lord is not true.
11:03 It's all like a scam.
11:05 There is a team that is being formed.
11:07 They will be allowed to receive benefits when they go down.
11:11 There is a security team.
11:13 They will give a vehicle to go down here and turn over to the social welfare team.
11:20 There is a saying that the new propaganda or brainwashing that the SBSI leaders are now turning to Capihan
11:28 is that it's okay even if they cannot return to their Lord Aguila
11:32 because the divinity of Lord Aguila has already transferred to other people.
11:37 We can see the effort to hold their attachment to the thought and obedience of people.
11:44 That's why it's very important that there is a rehabilitation program that can be done
11:49 and that can be used to deceive the people, their families who have been abused.
11:54 We've heard the testimonies of many victims.
11:57 In the preliminary investigation of the Department of Justice,
12:00 21 were found guilty of violating the law and were charged with 14 members of the SBSI.
12:09 These include 9 counts of qualified trafficking in persons,
12:14 8 counts of child abuse,
12:16 and 4 counts for the solemnization or facilitation of child marriage.
12:22 The case that was charged against them is no bail.
12:26 We can say that our evidence is strong.
12:30 [music]
12:32 Our team tried to get the statement of Señor Aguila,
12:37 who is currently detained in the jail facility of the NBI in the Bureau of Correction in Muntinlupa.
12:43 But they said that they will not investigate the case.
12:47 On behalf of the 13 of us, with due respect, I'd like to inform you that we will not be interviewed.
12:53 Let's see what are the roots of why there are unrighteous acts in different parts of our country.
13:00 It's also a wake-up call to all of us who work in the government to improve the delivery of basic services.
13:07 I'm so happy.
13:08 I really cried because what he experienced is not enough.
13:11 I'm so thankful that even in the sicknesses we've gone through, we've seen justice.
13:18 [music]
13:21 Thank you so much, Kapuso.
