00:00 Personally invited by Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa, Pastor Apollo Quivoloy
00:05 to go to the Senate.
00:07 He also followed the nervous arrest order of the Senate against the pastor,
00:11 Daniel Manalestas in detail.
00:13 If he's afraid, he's afraid that his life is under threat,
00:21 I can be his security.
00:23 I can secure him while he's in the Senate.
00:26 I can offer myself as his security.
00:31 That's what Senator Bato de la Rosa is ready to do
00:34 when he met Pastor Apollo Quivoloy's friend.
00:37 Now, the Senate has an arrest order against the Umanoy appointed son of God.
00:42 The Senator is also ready to personally assist in arresting Quivoloy.
00:46 But the Senator is clear, he has no contact with Quivoloy
00:50 and he doesn't know where the pastor is looking for.
00:53 If I'm here, no one can kill you.
00:57 No one can shoot you.
00:58 If the Senator asks for help,
01:01 "Sir, you're a friend of Pastor Quivoloy,
01:04 we know he's here so there's no trouble, sir.
01:08 Can you accompany us?"
01:09 I'm willing to do that.
01:11 But he's still studying the situation.
01:13 I'll see if I can report if there are a lot of guns.
01:17 If there are a lot of guns, I'll bring a machine gun.
01:20 If there are no guns, why would you bring a gun?
01:24 The Senate Sergeant at Arms refused to face the camera.
01:27 But their chief said,
01:29 Quivoloy can be arrested at any time
01:31 and he will be coordinated with the Philippine National Police.
01:34 His detention room in the Senate is also ready.
01:37 And when Quivoloy is in the Senate custody,
01:40 he can visit only his immediate family.
01:44 Quivoloy's camp is in turmoil and his lawyer said,
01:47 "It's saddening that despite everything they did to protect Quivoloy,
01:52 there are individuals who are still persecuting him."
01:56 Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel reminded,
01:59 "Quivoloy has a strong lawyer who is defending him."
02:03 Senator Francis Escudero said,
02:05 "The arrest order for Quivoloy is only a ministerial
02:10 after he's signed in contempt."
02:12 Quivoloy may be acquitted of contempt order
02:15 but he will be sentenced to 15 hours in prison
02:18 for personal or online molestation.
