WALANG puwang ang karahasan sa institusyon gaya ng paaralan.
Ito ang binigyang-diin ng pamunuan ng Jose Maria College Foundation Inc. (JMCFI) kaugnay ng isinagawang marahas na pagpasok ng mga kapulisan sa compound ng Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) sa Davao City kung saan matatagpuan din ang paaralan.
“The JMCFI condemn the unnecessary police acts especially that our institution is a separate entity and at the same time our institution is an academe.”
“If there are actions, harassment that happened in our institution then that could be a violation of the basic fundamental right of education,” saad ni Dr. Felix Chavez Jr., President, JMCFI.
Binigyang diin ni Dr. Felix Chavez Jr, presidente ng JMCFI na dapat ay nirespeto ng mga awtoridad ang JMCFI na isang paaralan at itinuturing ding ‘sanctuary of peace’.
Ito ang sinabi ni Dr. Chavez matapos ang nangyaring ‘overkill’ sa pagsisilbi sa warrant of arrest laban kay Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy.
Ang JMCFI kasi na isang hiwalay na entity – pinasok din ng mga armadong awtoridad.
Ang mismong presensiya ng mga kapulisan sa paaralan kasabay ng ginawa nilang paghahalughog – may epekto sa mental health ng mga mag-aaral.
“Even if it happened during dawn, okay, but the impact may not be somehow not felt in person but the impact can be mental and psychological because our students are loyal, they can see that one in the social media that our school is somewhat somehow attacked, that can create fear in their mind and at the same time also it can induce stress and anxiety,” ani Chavez.
Mga awtoridad na sangkot sa ‘overkill’ na pagsisilbi ng warrant of arrest, posibleng kasuhan ng administratibo
Ngunit maituturing bang may nilabag ang mga awtoridad na pasukin ang JMCFI para hanapin si Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy?
Para kay Dr. Chavez, bakit walang koordinasyong ginawa ang mga awtoridad kung kasama ang JMCFI para hanapin si Pastor Apollo?
“First since JMC is a separate entity, there should be coordination also to the management of JMC and we don’t receive any papers or formal documents that there will be search in our institution kasi pumasok lang diretso sa JMC without any paper for me, I am not aware that there is a notice of search, I don’t have any document that there is a search and since this is a separate entity they should inform the management also,” ayon pa kay Chavez.
“With regards to possible violations committed by the police officers, we’re looking at for me personally liabilities conduct of unbecoming of public officers, grave misconduct because of the arbitrary, oppressive and excessive use of force and enforcement of warrant,” saad ni Atty. Resci Angelli Rizada-Nolasco, Assistant Dean | College of Law, JMCFI.
Kinuwestiyon din ni Atty. Nolasco ang naging paraan ng awtoridad para hanapin si Pastor Apollo.
“What the police officers implemented were warrant of arrest and not search warrants and there is a stark distinction between the two and arrest must precede the search. Here, it seems like they are searching to affect an arrest so it is obvious when they conducted series of raids in four different locations they were not really certain as to where the person or the persons they were trying to arrest their locations are exactly are,” dagdag ni Rizada-Nolasco.
JMCFI, nagsagawa ng ‘debriefing’ sa mga bata
Ngunit papaano maipapaliwanag sa mga batang walang muwang na ang mga pulis na inaasahan nilang pro-protekta sa kanila ang siyang nagdulot ng takot sa kanila dahil sa insidente?
“Supposedly, of course, they are here to serve and protect because as I what I have mentioned, education is a basic human right and if that particular right is violated, of course they might have discouragement that particular agency who are doing this kind of act, that is why during the debriefing process we have also have to ensure to them that this particular situation will not happen again,” wika ni Chavez.
Legal community, nagimbal sa marahas na pagserve ng warrant of arrest kay Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy
Samantala, ikinagulat naman ng legal community ang nangyaring insidente sa compound ng Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
“Of course, on behalf of the legal community, were shocked beyond disbelief with the incident that had happened,” ayon pa kay Rizada-Nolasco.
Samantala, nagbigay naman ng katiyakan ang pamunuan ng JMCFI na tuloy ang operasyon ng paaralan sa kabila ng nangyaring insidente.
Patuloy pa rin ang pagbabantay na ginagawa ng mga miyembro ng Kingdom of Jesus Christ sa headquarters sa Davao City.
Hindi dahil nasa loob ng compound si Pastor Apollo kundi para protektahan ang sagradong lugar na kung saan sila nagsasamba at kanilang itinuturing na tahanan.
