INC lawyer Moises Tolentino explained: "The privilege had already been terminated when they were expelled from the church, having committed some serious relation of the church doctrines."
"The decision says that they are ordered to immediately vacate and surrender possession of the premises to the plaintiff which is the INC. If they do not do it on their own, we will be compelled to file a motion for execution which we intend to do next week and have it heard by the court," Tolentino added.

Zabala also believes the siblings posed a threat to INC, noting that security personnel at the Tandang Sora property intercepted hearing devices, wire and parts of a drone which were supposedly delivered to Lottie and Angel.

After their expulsion, Lottie also insisted that the Tandang Sora property does not belong to INC because it was bought by her late husband and was never sold to the influential sect.
