Iglesia Ni Cristo Anak TV Awards

Manila, Philippines - I do not know anyone from our neighborhood who watches Iglesia Ni Cristo's channel NET 25. The INC reputation to us is pretty bad. From bad-mouth INC Preachers up to Catholic attacking bloggers, no one even dares to make a glance of NET 25. I myself, is not an avid watcher of TV but I certainly prefer watching ABS-CBN Channel 2, GMA Channel 7 and the hippie ABC 5. Kapamilya, Kapuso and Kapatid. I will not allow to be fooled to watch the self-serving INC preachers teaching us their weird doctrines. I am certainly against block voting of Iglesia Ni Cristo. I am certainly against the INC doctrine of enforcing conversion of religion before someone can get married to INC member. I am certainly against the INC doctrine that Felix Manalo is an angel and Jesus Christ is just a man. For these reasons, I do not watch NET 25. I can spend my time more productively than watching Iglesia Ni Cristo NET 25 channel. I don't want to waste my time watching NET 25. Pure garbage. The INC preachers and members are so annoying.

IGLESIA NI CRISTO: Church at the Crossroads
by MALOU MANGAHAS

PCIJ reported

... In December 1998, Estrada fired Jackie Cruz as chairman of the National Telecommunications Commission, reportedly because Cruz had rejected INC's application for a UHF television bandwidth. Instead, another licensee was given an expanded frequency application. Cruz was replaced by Joseph Santiago, who described the circumstances surrounding his predecessor's ouster at a briefing at the American Chamber of Commerce in March 1999.

I guess since from the start, INC Channel NET 25 did not impressed me at all.

December 8, 2010 - Iglesia Ni Cristo NET25 programs that are Anak TV 2010 awardees: Ang Iglesia ni Cristo, Ang Pagbubunyag, Bundesliga, Chronicles, Discover Germany, Global 3000, Homepage, I-Balita, Iglesia ni Cristo and the Bible, In Focus, In Good Shape, I-News, Journal News, Landmarks, Moments, On Set, Pasugo with Church News, Red Carpet, Spoon, Tomorrow Today, and Tribe.

Janice de Belen, a well-known Iglesia Ni Cristo member attended the awarding ceremony since no other award-giving body took notice of INC programs. What I am currently wondering is how come that the INC religious programs received ANAK TV awards when the INC doctrines directly violates moral and logical thinking. I want Filipino children and every children in the world to grow up right. I don't want to Feed Their Minds with garbage. Children should be thought and be allowed to grow up with correct moral and spiritual values. Does children even watches religious programs? Does INC religious programs worth of being suggested to children to be watched?

Iglesia Ni Cristo doctrine
• allows their members to smoke cigarettes
• constantly attack Catholics and Protestants
• moral values cannot even be seen with some INC members

Iglesia Ni Cristo members beat up Pentecostal members (I don't want my kids to grow up as bullies)

  

As Filipino Cults site suggested that
Iglesia Ni Cristo is not for Children...

I don’t want to see my kids to be smoking cigarettes one day when they grow up. How can I prohibit by kids not to smoke if I am an INC member and we can see INC members and INC pastors smoking cigarettes outside the INC chapel before church gatherings? Solution: we should not join INC cult. INC pastors and members are bad influences to children.

PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH, that's what they often say. That is simply not applicable to Iglesia Ni Cristo. How can we even teach to our children the biblical teaching of loving our enemies when we are clear witnesses how INC treats their enemies? INC members are vicious and brutal to non-INC members. Sometimes, I watch the Iglesia Ni Cristo channel and always see the INC ministers cursing other religious groups.

Reading Philippine news is no different. We can see often how brutal INC members by reading those cruel crimes, murder, rape and other curse-able acts. During elections, INC is also active in establishing their political connections to the candidates. Browsing the internet is more embarrassing for any INC members to see. INC bloggers and forum members have foul mouths in spreading lies and attacking their enemies. We cannot see any "official" INC website but the INC members are very active in defending their doctrine and attacking Catholics and Protestants. INC members, do you kiss your mother with those dirty mouths of yours?

I sincerely believe that these bad-mouth INC members just acquired their coursing habits from the INC chapels. Religion changes people. Religion changes how people think and behaves. Most INC members came from Roman Catholic Church. Sad to say is that, people are getting worse in leaving the Catholic Church and joining Iglesia Ni Cristo. INC members are more cruel and getting less intolerant for the beliefs of others. People have different beliefs and faith but Iglesia Ni Cristo just can't simply honor that right to us. They will silence the enemies that they consider a threat to their organization. They will kill anybody who will dishonor Felix Manalo, Erano Manalo and the Iglesia Ni Cristo as a whole. INC murder crimes are all over the news. I don't to see my children learning values from this kind of cruel and unforgiving cult organization. I don't want to see my kids someday being dictated by the INC cult on what to do, who they should marry and who should they vote on election ballots. We are leaving in a democratic country.

Violence is being bred from the INC chapels. They show no "real" mercy to non-INC members. How can we expect love from people who considers us to be destined to burn in hell? I might as well be involved with religious group who shows compassion, love and care to others; irregardless of religious affiliations. I mean, we should not ask anyone what's their religion first, and then we will decide to help or not. Love encompasses to our fellowman, enemies or not. Good Virtues should be taught to the children while they are young. Children should grow up seeing good examples from their parents, teachers and in church. Pastors have great responsibilities to be examples to out children. Iglesia Ni Cristo is a cult not advisable to children. Iglesia Ni Cristo chapels are breeding ground for hate, crime, political hunger and biblical fallacies that should be stayed away from children. Rated triple XXX and not advisable to children and even for adults. Iglesia Ni Cristo will damage your mind, your heart and your soul.

Love your children, Keep them away from Iglesia Ni Cristo.

Iglesia Ni Cristo NBI Director Reynaldo Wycoco

Manila, Philippines - Recent Iglesia Ni Cristo government official and appointments have never been impressive. From INC Congressman Rodante Marcoleta, INC member NBI Chief Magtanggol Gatdula and to another INC member, LTO chief Virginia Torres. The performance of these government officials certainly reflects to INC cult. Do you think INC members should be proud on having these 'public servants' as their 'brothers' and 'sisters' in INC church? I have never seen any INC blogsites who proudly boasts the accomplishments of INC government official and appointments. I am not saying that INC members are humble fanatics. INC members are usually proud about their chapels and their direct condemnation to Catholics. I guess, it's just that there's really nothing to be proud of with the INC government appointments and official. Iglesia Ni Cristo is certainly silent about INC Congressman Rodante Marcoleta. Iglesia Ni Cristo is certainly silent about LTO chief Virginia Torres with her STRADCOM and LTO fiasco. But INC, openly supported the appointment of former Quezon City police chief Magtanggol Gatdula as NBI chief.

Why is Iglesia Ni Cristo keen on appointment in NBI chief post?
Magtanggol Gatdula is not the first INC member to be NBI chief.
(deceased) NBI chief Reynaldo Wycoco was also an INC member.

Which decided me to look back on how the Filipino people remembers Reynaldo Wycoco as an NBI chief.

• NBI chief Reynaldo Wycoco and Acsa Ramirez

Whistleblower of multimillion-peso tax scam of Land Bank of the Philippines, Acsa Ramirez suffered an unimaginable humiliation under the hands of Gloria Arroyo and NBI chief Reynaldo Wycoco. Acsa Ramirez was mistakenly pointed by Gloria Arroyo as a suspect instead of a whistleblower during a press conference. Instead of clearing things up, Arroyo and Wycoco tried to show Acsa Ramirez as a suspect related to the tax scam but the NBI and Wycoco failed to do so. Later on, Arroyo was forced to apologize to Acsa Ramirez for the embarrassing mistake that have been made. Under Reynaldo Wycoco, the NBI was embarrassed by a huge mistake of presenting a whistleblower as a suspect. If Reynaldo Wycoco had a 'delicadeza', he should have resigned immediately after Arroyo admitted the mistake. If Reynaldo Wycoco have been taught by Iglesia Ni Cristo to admit mistakes and to avoid lying to impress Gloria Arroyo, he should have resigned immediately after Arroyo admitted the mistake. Imagine, NBI can't even point the difference of a whistleblower and a crime suspect. How embarrassing for National Bureau of Investigation to fail in such a simple case. Shame on INC member Reynaldo Wycoco. Two Thumbs up for Whistleblower Acsa Ramirez.

• NBI chief Reynaldo Wycoco Faizal Marohombsar

LBP SCAM: NO APOLOGIES TO WHISTLE-BLOWER

...The Ramirez incident is the second time that the NBI, under Wycoco, has been put under bad light because of its release of false or misleading information or kuryente in Filipino journalistic parlance.

On July 26, Wycoco had reportedly alerted the President while she was in Sarangani that alleged Pentagon gang leader Faizal Marohombsar was already in government custody. Wycoco’s information immediately prompted Mrs. Arroyo to announce the fall of Marohombsar, which was later proven to be incorrect.

Marohombsar denied Wycoco’s claims in a radio interview...

Editoryal - Wow talaga ang mga mali!

Noong Biyernes, napadaan sa National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) si Mrs. Arroyo at ipinirisinta sa kanya ni NBI director Reynaldo Wycoco ang suspect sa P203 billion tax scam sa Landbank. Ang suspect na ipinirisinta kay Mrs. Arroyo ay si Acsa Ramirez, cashier ng Landbank Binangonan Branch.

Subalit mali! Si Ramirez pala ang "whistle blower" sa nasabing anomalya. Akala umano niya ay iko-congratulate siya ng Presidente kaya siya tinawag at pinaupo sa unahan iyon pala ay isa siya sa mga suspect. Umiyak nang umiyak si Ramirez sa pagkakataong iyon sapagkat nakatutok sa kanya ang TV camera. Kitang-kita ang mukha niya.

Umano’y nag-sorry na ang NBI sa kanilang pagkakamali at kapalpakan subalit humihingi si Ramirez ng public apology. Tungkol sa maling pagkakaprisinta sa kanya ng Presidente, sinabi ng abogado ni Ramirez na na kay Arroyo na kung hihingi ito ng paumanhin.

Hindi ito ang unang pagkakamali ng NBI. Ayon sa isang opisyal ng Malacañang, ang NBI rin ang nagbigay ng maling impormasyon kay Arroyo tungkol sa pagkakahuli sa Pentagon Gang leader na si Faizal Marohombsar noong July 26. Wala naman palang katotohanan ang pagkakadakip.

• NBI chief Reynaldo Wycoco, Panfilo Lacson and the FBI.

After the embarrassing mistakes of NBI under the leadership of INC member Reynaldo Wycoco, I think the other issue worth mentioning is the serious breach of security committed by Wycoco to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of America. I think the Acsa Ramirez and Faizal Marohombsar mistakes of NBI are nothing, compared to the breach of security made by Wycoco in search of information for Panfilo Lacson. I was quite surprised how brave and bold Wycoco to do such an act. Not only did Wycoco broke the trust of FBI to the Philippine authorities but Wycoco also embarrassed the Philippine nation for being dishonest. I think even INC members should not be proud of Reynaldo Wycoco for being an Iglesia Ni Cristo member. I am not even proud of Reynaldo Wycoco as being a Filipino. Please continue reading the whole article below about the breach of security made by Wycoco in the FBI when he visited the United States of America.

I am not sure if Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of America should also take a look at the Iglesia Ni Cristo political church because the Philippine for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) also reported that Iglesia Ni Cristo ...The INC has always resisted any attempts to encroach into its physical space. Military intelligence sources say that the Iglesia has 1,000 to 2,000 high-caliber firearms in its armory, apart from guns owned by individual members who include soldiers and policemen. In September 1972, INC members shot at and killed three Marine soldiers who were part of a contingent sent by Marcos to shut down the church's DZEC radio tower.

FBI ‘blacklists’ NBI’s Wycoco

The Justice department and the National Bureau of Investigation under the Arroyo administration can no longer expect any kind of cooperation from the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) after a serious breach of security was committed by Philippine officials, led by NBI Director Reynaldo Wycoco.

The NBI and, by extension, the Department of Justice (DoJ) have been placed on the blacklist of the FBI which has reportedly cut its ties with its Philippine counterpart, the NBI, in protest over what it described as a “deceptive” ploy by Wycoco during his visit to the United States last May, the Tribune learned from its sources yesterday.

The FBI’s reference to Wycoco’s “deceptive ploy” was the video footage showing the meeting held between Wycoco and Kyle Latimer, legal counsel of the US Attorney General’s Office, which agency has administrative supervision over the FBI.

The Justice department and the National Bureau of Investigation under the Arroyo administration can no longer expect any kind of cooperation from the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) after a serious breach of security was committed by Philippine officials, led by NBI Director Reynaldo Wycoco.

The NBI and, by extension, the Department of Justice (DoJ) have been placed on the blacklist of the FBI which has reportedly cut its ties with its Philippine counterpart, the NBI, in protest over what it described as a “deceptive” ploy by Wycoco during his visit to the United States last May, the Tribune learned from its sources yesterday.

The FBI’s reference to Wycoco’s “deceptive ploy” was the video footage showing the meeting held between Wycoco and Kyle Latimer, legal counsel of the US Attorney General’s Office, which agency has administrative supervision over the FBI.

Sources from the Philippine Embassy in Washington disclosed to the Tribune that the FBI leadership was outraged by the existence of the videotaped meeting and its subsequent public showing over Philippine television.

The meeting was apparently filmed in secret with a hidden camera by an aide of Wycoco, without the knowledge and consent of the American legal counsel and other American officials present during that meeting, the sources disclosed.

The video showed Latimer answering questions posed by Wycoco on the alleged bank accounts in the US of Sen. Panfilo Lacson.

The well-placed Tribune sources said Latimer and the FBI were not aware that one of Wycoco’s aides, who was later identified as Mike Magtanggol, was secretly filming the meeting which lasted some 45 minutes.

The digital video camera was reportedly hidden inside Magtanggol’s attaché case.

NBI sources told the Tribune that Magtanggol is not an organic NBI agent although he is seen almost every day hanging around Wycoco’s office at the NBI headquarters in Manila.

Records show that Magtanggol is the production head of the NBI Files, a weekly talk show hosted by Wycoco and television anchor Cristina Pecson, aired Tuesdays over a government-sequestered channel.

The secret filming by Magtanggol, obviously done with the knowledge and consent of Wycoco, was denounced by the FBI, the sources said.

“The FBI was so outraged because they (the officials) considered the act as a deceptive ploy by Director Wycoco and a violation of the trust and confidence being given by the US agency to the NBI chief,” the sources said.

The same sources said Wycoco’s act also undermined the security inside the FBI since it was a clear breach of security inside what is supposed to be a highly secured federal building.

Outraged by what was clearly a breach of security and confidence, the FBI official in the country reportedly barged into Wycoco’s office and gave him a piece of his mind.

The NBI sources confirmed that Jim Nixon, the FBI chief legal attaché to the Philippines, went to Wycoco’s office the day after the video was shown over ABS-CBN and GMA-7.

During the meeting, Nixon was described as “fuming mad” over the videotape which talked about Lacson’s bank accounts amounting to some $200,000, not the millions of dollars as alleged by military intelligence chief Col. Victor Corpus of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (Isafp), and Wycoco himself, who had claimed as early as eight months ago that his counterpart, the FBI, had furnished him a report on Lacson’s alleged bank accounts which Wycoco claimed held “huge” amounts in the millions, which he said would serve as the grounds to file money-laundering charges as well as plunder against Lacson.

“Jim Nixon was really angry during the meeting in Wycoco’s office. As a matter of fact, he was recalled to the US by his superiors to discuss the matter and the decision arrived at by the FBI officials was to sever their ties with the NBI as long as Wycoco sits as director,” a reliable source disclosed to the Tribune.

The source added the FBI is strict when it comes to confidential and secret matters, specially when these are passed on to its foreign counterparts, like the NBI.

“Once you are blacklisted by the FBI, there is no appeal. When the trust they (FBI) reposed on you has been betrayed, you’re blacklisted for life,” an NBI official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.

Nixon, the source said, is also head of the US Joint Anti-Terrorism Task Force (JATTF) in the Philippines.

The JATTF, which was formed after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, is composed of the FBI, US Port Police and the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Earlier, DoJ Secretary Hernando Perez played up the probe conducted by the Senate blue ribbon committee which focused on the alleged bank deposits amounting to close to $1 billion which was claimed by the Isafp chief to belong to Lacson

Perez claimed that he had obtained some damaging reports on Lacson’s alleged records but that he was just waiting for the official records from the US Department of Justice.

An official from the US Embassy told the Tribune that Perez was “lying through his teeth.”

The embassy official said the US DoJ was unlikely to even think of turning over any document to Perez, or Wycoco, for that matter, since the US government does not want its agencies’ confidential documents to be used by a foreign country, like the Philippines, for what was obviously a “political play.”

The same official expressed “horror” at the way Perez and Wycoco were using the name of the FBI and the US Justice department for “political purposes.”

It was learned that the video of the meeting, which was reportedly heavily spliced by the NBI to make it appear that the meeting was focused on the Lacson dollar accounts, was discovered to have been leaked by Wycoco to a select group of sympathetic reporters making up Wycoco’s media clique in Camp Crame .

They were given explicit orders not to drag the NBI in the videotape leakage.

This was the reason the broadsheet reporter who leaked the video to ABS-CBN and GMA-7 made it appear that the video came from Isafp’s Corpus.

• In short •
Iglesia Ni Cristo NBI Director Reynaldo Wycoco was a failure,
an embarassment to the Filipino people

Iglesia Ni Cristo LTO Chief Virginia Torres

Manila, Philippines - What kind of Government officials does Iglesia Ni Cristo produce? Look at INC member Congressman Rodante Marcoleta. Our honorable(?) Congressman Marcoleta ate with Gloria Arroyo in expensive restaurants in New York while the Filipino people are eating noodles and sardines. Marcoleta even had a nerve to imply that the Catholic Church as a threat to national security during the deliberation of the Reproductive health bill. Marcoleta also failed to support the Freedom of Information Bill for being absent or late or did not voted for the much needed law aimed for the full disclosure of transactions involving public interest. This is how the INC member Congressman Rodante Marcoleta will be remembered by the Filipino people as a government official. It's a good thing I did not wasted my vote for Congressman Rodante Marcoleta. I think it is more embarrassing for INC how their favorite anointed president Gloria Arroyo turned out to be. What kind of teachings / doctrines that the INC teaches to a guy like Rodante Marcoleta?

Iglesia Ni Cristo and Reproductive Health Bill No. 3773
Iglesia Ni Cristo Congressman Rodante Marcoleta 

Here comes another government official who is an INC member. (Land Transportation Office) LTO chief, Assistant Transport Secretary Virginia Torres. Recent headlines detailed how some people tried to take over the Stradcom office, by force. Stradcom is the exclusive information technology (IT) provider of the Land Transportation Office (LTO). Stradcom showed video footages caught by closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras includes INC member Virginia Torres entered the Stradcom facility with some people who took over Stradcom office for six hours. LTO Chief Virgie Torres said that she is just 'securing the database of LTO'. In my opinion, I think that is a very lame excuse and Stradcom has a point to file a case against Virgie Torres. How dare she entered the office of Stradcom to secure the database when she can simply order policemen or security personnel to do so? And the event was a siege, a violent trespassing and lawless takeover of a private company. Iglesia Ni Cristo member Virginia Torres have really lot of explaining to do.

I wonder why Iglesia Ni Cristo political cult group allowing themselves to be embarrassed by this kind of fiasco? Are INC members proud of having an INC congressman like Rodante Marcoleta? Are INC members proud of having a government official like LTO Chief Virginia Torres? Is this LTO-STRADCOM issue have got something to do with the suspicious Driver’s license printer contract of Amalgamated Motors Inc. (Ampi), owned by a senior member of the INC? [link] Inquirer.net: Driver’s license printer has no contract with LTO. 

I just like to ask,
Is Iglesia Ni Cristo planning a total takeover of the all LTO contracts which costs billions of Pesos through the years?

Iglesia Ni Cristo Pagsamba - Air-conditioned House of Worship

Manila Philippines - Until now, Iglesia Ni Cristo have no official web site that shares their doctrines or provide their really official number of members. INC members are usually being told that they are millions spreading across the globe but so far, we have NOT seen multitudes of Non-Filipino INC members. The doctrine of INC that only INC members will be saved is outrageous. The total population of people around the globe now is around 7 billion and here is Iglesia Ni Cristo claim that only INC members (mostly Filipinos) will be saved. The INC administration is secretive on their real total numbers. Their doctrine is also hidden on their church chapels that all visitors are invited to attend their church gatherings. People have to attend the INC worship and prayer meeting services to be informed about INC doctrines. Some INC members publish their own blogsites but we cannot treat them us official unless it came from the INC official Pasugo publication.

Air-conditioned House of Worship

For now, I think the most effective way for INC to increase their membership is the doctrine that INC members cannot marry other people with different faith. We can usually see some Catholics have to be converted to INC before they can marry their fiancée. A tactic that is keeping the INC membership alive. For inviting people to attend INC gatherings, INC has to do more aside from enforcing INC conversion to couples. The INC solution is predictable: They made some of their Iglesia Ni Cristo chapels AIR-CONDITIONED to attract people. INC is giving people relaxation on their body while corrupting the hearts and mind of the people about their doctrine. Ask any INC members and they will admit that they are also sick of being reiterated over and over again in a weekly basis that their pastors always preach that Felix Manalo is an angel, Iglesia Ni Cristo is a group of chosen luck people and only INC will be saved.

Here are some of airconditioned house of worship in Manila according to pagsamba blogspot:

Central (Commonwealth), Jackson (Makati area), Luzon (Commonwealth),
Evangelista (Makati area), Belair (Makati area - to be airconditioned)

Aside from enticing people with the Iglesia Ni Cristo Air-conditioned House of Worship and enforcing marriages, INC is trying their luck to further invite people inside their INC chapels by publishing pagsamba schedules of their locales. I happen to see a pagsamba blogspot account trying to encourage INC locales to release their pagsamba schedules. It is an unofficial blog account by an INC member trying to spread the word about their worship services. I guess the INC blogger felt the need to divulge their worship services since lesser and lesser people are now attending INC worship services. I am witness to this since an INC chapel near our place is getting less busy during Sundays. I fell pity for the Iglesia Ni Cristo in thinking that people will join them by using airconditioned House of Worships. If they installed the air-conditioning system of their chapels for the relaxation of their members, I think the INC administration should put money to where it belongs, to help people in their hunger and poverty. I mean, there are a lot of INC members living in poverty, some of them are tricycle drivers, office workers and other low-salary jobs. Spending a lot of money on air-conditioning system is a waste of money. I think the Bible is not instructing us to erect air conditioned chapels but to help the needy ones. That's a Christian thing to do, to help others, not to build air conditioned chapels.

Iglesia Ni Cristo and Ping Lacson

Also in those meetings were Estrada's son and San Juan Mayor Joseph Victor "JV" Ejercito, columnist Herman Tiu Laurel, and Lito Banayo, Estrada's political affairs adviser and now media consultant of Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson. El Shaddai representatives were invited as well.

At the same time, the INC is lending discreet support to Lacson's political base-building efforts. On our provincial visits, "someone would whisper to us and say we should drop by the Iglesia head chapel," a Lacson aide revealed. Lacson now calls on the Iglesia on every provincial sortie, said the aide.

The directive to support Lacson comes from INC executive minister, Eraño 'Ka Erdie' Manalo himself. "Ang bilin daw ni Ka Erdie, 'si Ping, suportahan ng todo-todo. 'Yan ang papalit kay Erap,'" said the aide. (Ka Erdie said, 'Let us give Ping our full support. He is likely to succeed Erap.')

Happy Birthday to Iglesia ni Cristo Executive Minister Eduardo V. Manalo

Inheriting the INC leadership and family jewels is what this guy is known for. Eduardo V. Manalo is well-known as the incapable leader who just got a lucky fortune of being born as a child of late Executive Minister Eraño G. Manalo and Cristina Villanueva Manalo. Manalo family is being looked up inside the INC organization. They are being treated as royals and regarded as Untouchables inside and outside the Iglesia Ni Cristo cult. Philippine politicians fear messing up with any of the Manalo family member. The Manalos will simply not take NO for an answer until all of their connections and their vast resources have been used. Take an instant quiz from this web site for example:

Iglesia Ni Cristo and LTO (Land Transportation Office)

LTO chief, Virgie Torres is an Iglesia Ni Cristo member. LTO contract bidders complain that the terms of reference (TOR) for vehicle plates and driver's licenses favors the present supplier and its partners, which includes the Amalgamated Motors Inc. (Ampi), owned by another INC member. What is the Billion peso question is all about?

Engr. Renante Nate - Catholic attacker

Manila, Philippines - Since Iglesia Ni Cristo cult has no single "official" web site, I thought that there should be at least a single INC blogsite or fan page that INC members go to when they need to be updated with their church beliefs regarding attacking other religions. I have decided to watch over the blogsite of the most notorious INC member on the web, Conrad J. Obligacion. Last week, I saw an INC member Engr. Renante Nate who openly attacks catholic doctrines by explicitly saying that CATHOLICISM IS IDOLATRY. He even mentioned how the Catholics kneel and bow down to statues and images. I guess INC member Engr. Renante Nate fails to remember how INC ministers/members also kneel down in front of Manalo. I guess he also forgot to mention how INC erected a bronze statue of Felix Manalo and create the image of Erano Manalo in a postal stamp in commemoration of their deaths. Street names were also named after the INC leaders. INC members are too fanatical about the Manalo family.

Iglesia Ni Cristo and the Ruby Rose slay case (Update)

Manila, Philippines - Iglesia Ni Cristo is a political cult. INC would usually be seen and heard meddling political issues here in the Philippines. Iglesia Ni Cristo was a close ally of the Philippine worse president Gloria Arroyo. Around the month of March of the same year, 2010, news reports said that INC might be intervening in the Ruby Rose slay case. The reason is that one of the suspects is an INC member. Suspect-turned-state witness Manuel Montero said that Lope Jimenez became a member of the INC to protect his fishing business. The witness said that it was Manuel Jimenez II and Lope Jimenez were the ones who allegedly ordered him to abduct and kill Ruby Rose. Ruby Rose is the sister of former beauty queen Rochelle Barrameda.

Iglesia Ni Cristo Congressman Rodante Marcoleta

Manila, Philippines - Political cult, Iglesia Ni Cristo Alagad partylist Rep. Rodante Marcoleta has been recently assigned to be part of the powerful Commission on Appointments. Speaker Feliciano Belmonte nominated Marcoleta on the 12-member House contingent to the commission. I am just not happy why Belmonte nominated Marcoleta. The history of the 3rd-rate congressman Marcoleta is less impressive, in fact, it is very disappointing. Iglesia Ni Cristo should be embarrassed on what Marcoleta is displaying in the Philippine congress as an INC member. Ordinary Filipinos perceives Filipino politicians as corrupt and lazy. (no need to mention the Absenteeism in the Philippine Congress led by Cong. Jules Ledesma). Pork Barrel funds is also an always issue with the lawmakers. Pork Barrel is commonly believed to be the source of major corruption in the Philippines.

Iglesia Ni Cristo Angels and Demons

INC members are Catholic attackers. They ruthlessly malign people and mock other religious doctrines. I think we cannot find any other funnier religious doctrine aside from the Iglesia Ni Cristo. They claimed that the Big Four of the World War 1 are the four angels from the book of Revelations while Felix Manalo (the alleged rapist of Rosita Trillanes) as an angel. This is absolutely ridiculous and hilarious!!! Based on the Revelations 7:1-3, the other angel was able to cry with a loud voice to the four angels. Felix Manalo was not even able to speak with the leaders of the four great nations of USA, Britain, Italy and France in 1919.

Also, one of the basic INC teachings is to admonish Catholics and Protestants. Iglesia Ni Cristo rejects the deity of Christ, the Catholic Church and the protestants. The INC members would always attack other religions in order to cover up their cult teachings.

Iglesia Ni Cristo and Christmas

Does Iglesia Ni Cristo celebrate Christmas Day?

I don't know but what I am aware of, is that the INC founder Felix Manalo have received the office of being a Pastor and as a "Tagapamahala ng Iglesia" on December 25, 1918. The 5th anniversary of Iglesia Ni Kristo on December 25, 1918 confirms that INC indeed, started in 1913 and not 1914. This is also a clear and logical argument that INC may have started as a "church" in December 25, 1913 since the Pasugo (July 27, 1989) stated that the first fruits of his preaching were baptized at the Pasig River in late 1913.

If the Iglesia Ni Cristo celebrates the January 1 New Years Day, I think it would be acceptable (for INC) to also celebrate the INC anniversary during December 25, as Felix Manalo have previously celebrated also.

Tantrum of INC Eduardo Manalo

Manila, Philippines - Eduardo Manalo is showing tantrums on lack of his expected respect on government appointments under the Noynoy Aquino administration. Under the previous Gloria Arroyo regime, Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) enjoyed a comfortable accommodation. But things are different right now. The Philippines has a new president which is convincingly voted by the Filipino people unlike Gloria Arroyo. Eduardo Manalo is also a new INC leader who inherited the leadership from his father who passed away last year. Eduardo Manalo has still a lot to prove. Inheriting leadership should be proved more than having the same blood of your ancestors. As a leader, you have to display the needed character which it appears that Eduardo Manalo is lacking. The childish attitude of Eduardo Manalo shows how weak the INC religious cult nowadays. In the first place, why would a religious leader be involved in government appointments? Why Eduardo Manalo be disappointed if his recommendations for government appointments were not followed by the Philippine president? (It has been reported that INC endorsed/pushed the appointment of the director of National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)).

Iglesia Ni Cristo Senate Presidency

Manila, Philippines - I am not inventing stories when I have stressed long enough the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) habit of intervening political affairs here in the Philippines. Learning the Philippine political history will expose the involvement of the Iglesia Ni Cristo cult in the Philippine politics, which is more detrimental than beneficial to the Filipino people. The separation of Church and the State is not being practiced by the INC cult since their survival totally relies on it nowadays. It is very seldom we can hear of that the Iglesia Ni Cristo cult is being discussed in a good light. INC is a political cult group. From bloc-voting during elections, government appointees, judicial issues, passing laws (like the reproductive bill in the congress), the INC party list group and recently, even the Philippine Senate presidency, INC wanted to enforce their presence among the politicians. This gives us a bad taste how INC shows their suspicious motives. Eduardo Manalo is a newbie in Philippine politics since he just inherited the INC leadership from his father who died last year. But the intervention of Eduardo Manalo in Senate presidency is not a simple rookie mistake for the pathetic INC leader. It is a tradition, a survival instinct of the INC cult to try to enforce their political influence to politicians.

INC Eraño Manalo Death Anniversary

The cult of Iglesia Ni Cristo is a well-known Catholic Church hater. It is one of the basic tenets of the Iglesia Ni Cristo that only INC members will be saved and will go to heaven. INC members are even taught to hate Catholics and Protestants because all non-INC members are of the devil as plainly specified in Pasugo, INC official publication. It is quite interesting that after barely one month that the iconic “Tita” Cory Aquino died, the authoritarian INC ruler Eraño Manalo also died. Cory Aquino is well-loved by the Filipino people while Eraño Manalo and the rest of INC members are being despised for their arrogant behavior. INC is a political cult who usually intervenes in the Philippine political issues. The religious doctrine of INC of bloc voting is the only thing that the INC is relying right now. The massive decrease of INC membership can be clearly seen on every churches of the Iglesia Ni Cristo. It is also worth noticing that politicians would always "grace" any INC celebrations.

Iglesia Ni Cristo should be investigated

As of July 16, 2010:
Foreign Exchange rate for Philippine Peso
1US$ = 46.2790 Php

Recent Iglesia Ni Cristo acquired properties:
El Cajon property = $1,755,000. (80+million Philippine Peso)
LA Chapel = $7,600,000 (349+million Philippine Peso)
Another INC church property in Sacramento CA with the price is still unknown

Manila, Philippines - Iglesia Ni Cristo members are usually proud and mostly boastful that 'their' Church founded by Felix Manalo are acquiring expensive properties overseas. You can actually see it on their blogs and personal comments on different forums. They take pride that their "evangelical mission" is reaching USA and was able to purchase properties which INC members does not actually own. The blind INC members failed to see that those properties are actually owned by the INC (sole) corporation and the INC members have practically no amount of ownership once they decided to leave the cult. All fame, glory and WEALTH belongs to the Iglesia Ni Cristo (sole) corporation. What I am wondering right now is that, how was the INC cult able to finance these expensive and luxurious properties overseas?

Masonry in the Philippines

Manila, Philippines - When I've read a catholic blog saying that Iglesia Ni Cristo cult copied their logo from masonry, I initially ignored it. I was thinking that the blogger is just attacking INC for no reason or whatsoever. Filipinos despise Iglesia Ni Cristo cult so it's just natural for Pinoys to scrutinize a cult like INC. (I am so glad that Filipino bloggers are getting more and more active in exposing the atrocities of the Iglesia Ni Cristo cult.) It's not the first time that I've seen Iglesia Ni Cristo being linked to masonry but the resemblance of the freemasonry logo is really similar and it is really hard to ignore. The Manalo doctrines of the Iglesia Ni Cristo are mostly funny and bizarre. For a start, believing an accused rapist Felix Manalo as an Angel would have to top the list of funny and bizarre INC beliefs. Iglesia Ni Cristo even erected a bronze statue for the accused rapist Felix Manalo!!!

Iglesia Ni Satan

Manila, Philippines - Filipinos are really funny people. Some surveys even put Filipinos to be one of the happiest people in the world despite the hardship we face on our everyday lives. Natural calamities visit the Philippines regularly every year. Around 20 storms passes by the Philippine area of responsibility every year and Philippine politicians are rated as corrupt. But despite of this bad news, we can always find a heart-felt smile from the Filipino nation. Being hospitable is also well-known among the Filipinos. It is also mind-blowing to think on how Filipinos are coping up with the storms, flash floods and earthquake that the Philippines are encountering every year. I guess the answer would have to be their strong faith. Philippines is predominantly a Catholic country. Almost all Filipinos are Catholics and belong to several Christian dominations. Faith has been helping the poor Filipinos smile and hope for a better future after every catastrophe that the country have endured. Until one cult have emerged from this part of South-east Asia. Alas, the Iglesia Ni Cristo.

Iglesia Ni Cristo Government appointments

• Gatdula to NBI; Banayo to NFA
• INC backed appointment of new NBI chief

Manila, Philippines - I am scared. I am really, really scared. With a report that INC is endorsing the appointment of Iglesia Ni Cristo member former Quezon City police chief Magtanggol Gatdula to be the Director of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is scary. (Iglesia Ni Cristo is a Philippine based cult group with a mob-like violent long history. PCIJ also reported that INC has its own armory as Military Intelligence say). NBI employees prefers their Director to be "insider" or coming inside from NBI itself unlike Gatdula. Why would a supposed to be a religious-peace loving group would be endorsing an appointment to a criminal investigating government agency? Shouldn't be Iglesia Ni Cristo be involved or concerned in a more civic and charitable government agencies that can help more Filipinos like the Department of Health (DOH), National Housing Authority (NHA), National Food Authority (NFA) or the Department of Social Welfare & Development (DSWD)? Why is the Iglesia Ni Cristo more interested in endorsing appointment in National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)?

Iglesia Ni Cristo recently acquired properties

A blogger proudly reported that Iglesia Ni Cristo is purchasing a 7-acre church property at Lemon Hill Avenue Sacramento, California, from a 57-year-old Lutheran Church. Earlier this year, a Filipino blogger also reported that INC also bought another expensive property in El Cajon California with a worth of $1,755,000 (over 79,000,000 Philippine pesos)!!! While Filipinos (including INC members) are getting poorer and poorer, Iglesia Ni Cristo keeps on purchasing properties outside the Philippines. While Filipinos are eating noodles and low-grade rice, Iglesia Ni Cristo Congressman Rodante Marcoleta and Gloria Arroyo were eating at the super-expensive restaurants in the New York, USA. Well, we are already not surprised on this kind of news surrounding the Iglesia Ni Cristo cult. In fact, we are kind of expecting this, since the INC membership is starting to decrease, naturally, INC have to invest in more properties for their own future.

INC Eduardo Manalo is a coward

Jose Ventilation is a known Iglesia Ni Cristo debater among the INC members. Ventilation is the usual representative of INC during debates. Sadly, Jose Ventilation is not that good which the blind INC members failed to see. Ventilation is adding shame to the pathetic image of Iglesia Ni Cristo when it comes to debate. Felix, Erano and Eduardo Manalo are not known for their debating skills. The Manalo family would only just sit inside the INC temple in Quezon City and give the debating task on their followers like Jose Ventilation. In the Philippines, the poor reputation in debating skills of Iglesia Ni Cristo is a well-known fact. In Youtube, you can find how Jose Ventilation failed to defeat the Seventh-Day Adventists. And in the news, INC minister and members reportedly mauled their debate counterpart and stole their cameras. and in 1990, Jose Ventilation failed to defeat a catholic debater Karl Keating. As Karl Keating mentioned on his account with his debate with INC, Iglesia Ni Cristo is an anti-Catholicism cult. In USA, Catholic Keating tried to debate with Iglesia Ni Cristo in a civil manner. On a detailed account, Keating told how Iglesia Ni Cristo mob would attend any debate involving Iglesia Ni Cristo minister. The INC members are trained to hate Catholics. Iglesia Ni Cristo is a menace.

Rape cases in the Philippines

I think Rape is one of the most common crimes in the Philippines. Almost every day, Philippine news, tabloids and TV/radio reports have at least one rape case. We can see gang rape once in a while but the common case is the girl walking alone in the street is the usual targets of the lust monsters of the night. Some suspects might have been influenced by alcohol or drugs but whatever it is, raping is a crime and a sin. I can't imagine raping a girl since I have a mother and I know her feelings as a woman. Some of us may also have sisters and the golden rule does apply here... Do unto others what you would like others to do unto you! We do not want our mothers or our sisters being raped some monsters because of their lust. Pirated DVD of bold movies is rampant in the streets of Manila. Here, we can buy a DVD compilation of bold movies in the streets with the cost of 50-100 Pesos only. That is barely a $US3 only. If you have no money, you can simply borrow from your friends or your neighborhood. Sexy models are also everywhere in big billboards, posters and calendars endorsing beer and clothes. What happened to our sacred Filipino values? Even noontime shows are filled with sexy dancers in the broad daylight in front of our kids!!! What does the MTRCB is doing? Rape crimes might be the result of these lustful images people see on our everyday lives. The degradation of moral and spiritual values of Filipinos can be traced on the religion that should be shielding us from committing sin.

INC Felix Manalo disrespectful son

Manila Philippines - I don't think it's a good idea for a cult leader not to use the last name of his father. It is like disowning your own father. I would have been angry if my kid will not use my last name. It is so disrespectful for a father. I cannot find any valid reason why Felix Manalo opted to use the last name of his mother MANALO instead of his father's YSAGUN. Again, it’s disrespectful and ungrateful to his father not to use the lawful last name YSAGUN. Is Felix YSAGUN Manalo an illegitimate son of his father? (Anak ba sa labas si Felix Manalo?) Certainly, with Iglesia Ni Cristo's main doctrine that all non-INC members will be going to hell, Felix Manalo's father and mother will anyway burn in hell so I think the last name of Felix Manalo does not mean anything that much to Felix.

Iglesia Ni Cristo Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is an important delicate matter to the Iglesia Ni Cristo members. They treat it as a religious "holy" event of their lives. Every year, there are 2 thanksgiving events to the INC cult. First is the Thanksgiving Worship Service on December and later, the INC administration decided to add the Second Church Anniversary Thanksgiving Worship which is on July; Both of these thanksgiving events of Iglesia Ni Cristo cult involves a huge amount pile of money. The money being offered by the Iglesia Ni Cristo members are being placed in envelopes with their name and amounts written on it. It is an INC commandment that the value of amount of any INC members being placed on their corresponding envelopes should be greater from the previous amount the INC members offered as a thanksgiving to their god. As money from INC members are being collected inside the INC chapels, guards are outside like they always do on their gatherings. Iglesia Ni Cristo cult has their own security force. INC has even their own armory as PCIJ reported based on military intelligence.

Iglesia Ni Cristo Salvation

Manila, Philippines - If you are looking for your salvation, you should not be looking it with Iglesia Ni Cristo. INC proudly preaches that there are no salvation outside their church. All Catholics, and all other Christians are going to hell, except Iglesia Ni Cristo. Narrow-minded? You wait until you hear their other weird doctrines. Their founder Felix Manalo is being considered by INC members as an angel. Felix Manalo came from Catholic and then Adventist. After some misunderstanding with Adventists, Felix Manalo decided to establish his own church and claimed that is actually an angel sent by God. Ask any INC member you if will be saved and they will quickly respond "if only you join Iglesia Ni Cristo". Iglesia Ni Cristo members are like walking zombies who goes to church and follow whatever their pastors told them to do. Imagine, INC members trooping down on the violent anti-government EDSA 3. Imagine INC members voting candidates that was dictated to them by the INC administration. Imagine believing weird doctrines thought to them by their blind pastors. Yes, that are typical INC members who will follow whatever their pastors told them to do so.

Abortion in the Philippines

Manila, Philippines - Abortion is illegal in the Philippines. Killing an innocent baby is abominable. Luckily, with 90+million plus Filipinos living in the Philippines, the rate of abortion is really quite small compared to other countries. Philippines is basically a catholic church country. The church and other religious group is very clear on their stand about being pro-life and being an anti-abortion advocates. I don't know about the state of mind of any mother who aborts her child in the womb but certainly the act of killing a child is a very sinful act. Denying the right to live of a child inside the womb is a heinous crime. Most of the mothers who commit abortion are those in their teenage year. Teenage pregnancy is highly avoidable if the kids today are growing with the watchful eyes of their parents. Whatever the reason of abortion is wrong. We should allow the gifts of life from God continue. The number one innocent victim here is the innocent baby inside his/her mother's womb. Why would we pass the judgment to the babies who haven’t done anything wrong even before being born? Abortionists are playing God in killing babies. God should be the only one to decide who will live and die.
