EXPELLED Iglesia ni Cristo member Felix Nathaniel “Angel” Manalo was transferred on Friday to Camp Bagong Diwa, Bicutan in Taguig City from Camp Karingal after the Quezon City Regional Trial Court issued a commitment order.
Also transferred to the Metro Manila District Jail were Gem Manalo Hemedez, Manalo’s nephew, and former Magdalo soldier Jonathan Ledesma, before 10 a.m.
Manalo, Hemedez and Ledesma were first taken to the Quezon City Police District’s Station 10 for a physical examination.
The three were charged with illegal possession of firearms before the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office.
No bail was recommended for the provisional liberty of Manalo and company.
Authorities filed additional raps against Ledesma for direct assault with frustrated homicide when he allegedly shot two policemen with an M-16 rife during a police search on March 2.
The three men, along with 32 others, including Manalo’s sister, Lolita Manalo Hemedez, were then rounded up at 36 Tandang Sora Avenue.
The charges arose when the Quezon City Police District operatives served a search warrant on Manalo’s residence.
