The funds were reportedly mismanaged, and the facility had problems with its registration, license to operate, and accreditation.
Investigations also revealed that the children may have experienced physical, verbal, and psychological abuse.
In response, DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian and DSWD FO-3 Regional Director Venus Rebuldela issued a Cease and Desist Order against the facility.
The rescued children are now under the care of the Reception and Study Center for Children (RSCC), where they have been assured of safety.

Meanwhile, the pastor and the facility’s director have been arrested.

In a previous report by KAMI, a family of three was mercilessly shot and killed inside their store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll-up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects even grabbed a bag and a mobile phone from the victim. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.
In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
