00:00...updates from the Department of Justice.
00:04Let's start with this, the DOJ was successful in the fight against a member of the Maute group.
00:10Yusek, what is the detail of this?
00:12The Department of Justice was able to secure the conviction of a member of the Maute terrorist group
00:18in the case of illegal possession of explosive device.
00:22This was after the Court of Appeals approved the decision of the Taguig Regional Trial Court Branch 266
00:29for the conviction of a member of the notorious Maute group.
00:35The 51st Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army was arrested in August 2022
00:42while carrying a blasting cap in Lanao del Sur.
00:46This was followed by a Tamaraw F-X where seven other members of the Maute group were also arrested.
00:55A 81mm mortar ammunition and pipe bomb was recovered from the suspects.
01:01According to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Boyeng C. Remulia,
01:05this victory of the prosecution is a proof of the strong dedication of the government
01:11to abolish the rule of law and end terrorism in the country.
01:16We now go to the freeze order of the Court of Appeals
01:22for the possessions of KOJC leader, Apollo Quiboloy.
01:27The DOJ thanked the Court of Appeals after issuing a freeze order
01:33for the possessions of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader,
01:36Apollo Quiboloy and his accomplices.
01:40The freeze order includes bank accounts, properties,
01:44vehicles, and aircrafts named after the Religious Group and Suarasug Media Corporation
01:51that operates Sunshine Media Network International or SMNI.
01:57For now, Quiboloy is facing two arrest warrants for sexual abuse and human trafficking.
02:05According to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Boyeng C. Remulia,
02:09this is a big thing in the middle of Quiboloy's insult to the justice system of the country
02:14because of his continuous hiding.
02:17He also said that the freeze order is just the first step
02:22for the truth and justice to be fully implemented.
02:28We now go to another news where the former PDEA agent, Jonathan Morales,
02:32was also accused of guilty in the case of perjury.
02:38Usec Marge, please tell us about this.
02:40Okay, Nina.
02:41The DOJ committed a guilty verdict against the former Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency agent,
02:47Jonathan Morales, in the case of perjury.
02:50In the decision of the San Fernando Pampanga Municipal Trial Court,
02:54it was proven that Morales was guilty in giving false testimony in 2011.
03:01Morales gave false testimony when he was a PDEA agent
03:05against two drug suspects, Albert Cochua and Aaron Tan.
03:12After a few months, Morales returned it
03:15and said that his superiors forced him to give false testimony.
03:21According to the court, Morales did not prove that he was forced
03:25and because of this, he was found guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
03:30It should be noted that Morales also accused President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr.,
03:35actress Maricel Soriano, and other personalities of illegal drugs.
03:40Later, it was proven that Morales' statements were false.
03:45According to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Boyeng C. Remulia,
03:49this incident is a reminder to all that in the law,
03:54the truth and justice are above and beyond the lies of the country.
04:02Thank you very much, Joseph Marge,
04:04for sharing with us the updates from the DOJ.
