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)?

INC, why not endorse an appointment to Department of Health (DOH)?

Iglesia Ni Cristo has been head-to-head collision with the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines. INC members are constantly attacking Catholics. INC members were trained and indoctrinated to hate the Catholics and Protestants. INC and Catholic is again in opposite sides regarding the controversial Reproductive Health Bill. INC is endorsing the proposed Reproductive Health Bill No. 3773 while the Catholics are opposing it. That is all INC can give regarding the health issue affecting the whole Filipino nation, they just endorse and say their thoughts about it but they do nothing to penniless Filipinos who needs medical attention. Iglesia Ni Cristo cannot even campaign against the health-risk of cigarette smoking because INC members are cigarette smokers. INC allow their members to smoke cigarettes. (some INC members also smokes pot, like the father of Charice Pempengco) INC would rather endorse an appointment to NBI instead of getting involved heavily in providing health assistance to others. INC do not care to the welfare of the Filipino souls. What does a religious group have got to in a criminal Investigating body instead of being involved in Department of Health (DOH)?

INC, why not endorse an appointment to National Housing Authority (NHA)?

INC members treat non-INC members as trash. Iglesia Ni Cristo do not care for others. INC built housing projects in Montalban, Rizal and Dasmarinas Cavite. These housing projects are exclusive to Iglesia Ni Cristo members. Yes, that's right. Exclusive to INC members only. Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) even reported that those 2 housing projects have incomplete permits and questionable tax-exemption deals. INC refusing to be law-abiding citizens? Naturally, Iglesia Ni Cristo administration would only first take care for their members. But we cannot see any other efforts being made by INC to help non-INC members in regarding to housing projects. How can we expect INC to endorse an appointment to a government agency of housing projects? Iglesia Ni Cristo would prefer buying lots and properties inside and outside the Philippines instead of providing shelter to the poor Filipinos. INC only care for themselves. We should not hope INC will be endorsing an appointment to housing agency. Otherwise, If an INC member will be appointed as head of the government housing project, it would be disgusting to see that INC members are being prioritized on those kind of government projects instead of the poor ones who are more deserving.

INC, why not endorse an appointment to National Food Authority (NFA)?

Food for everyone? Don't expect INC to be doing that. National Food Authority (NFA) is under the Department of Agriculture that ensures the food security and watches the stability of supply of rice and its price in the Philippines. With this agency, we can help the farmers' harvests reach the Filipino table and provide food. Sadly, Iglesia Ni Cristo is not interested. INC is more concerned in endorsing/pushing an appointment to NBI rather than helping or providing food security for the Filipinos. Worse is, while poor Filipinos are eating cheap noodles and low-grade rice, Iglesia Ni Cristo congressman Rodante Marcoleta ate in the expensive restaurants in USA during their trip with Gloria Arroyo last year. How inconsiderate and insensitive for an Iglesia Ni Cristo Congressman eating in super-expensive restaurants while some Filipinos are even dying in starvation? With the millions of pork-barrel and other Incentives, how an Iglesia Ni Cristo congressman think about others regarding food security for all Filipinos? Iglesia Ni Cristo is a selfish organization who only think about themselves with suspicious intentions. INC would rather endorse an appointment to NBI instead to National Food Authority (NFA).

INC, why not endorse an appointment to Department of Social Welfare & Development (DSWD)?

During the impending win of President Noynoy Aquino, we can say that the post of Secretary in DSWD has already been reserved to Ms. Dinky Soliman. She has fought with Cory Aquino in trying to oust Gloria Arroyo some year ago. Dinky Soliman has been a supporter of Cory Aquino while the Iglesia Ni Cristo Congressman is a"YES-MAN" of Gloria Arroyo. Even that Iglesia Ni Cristo supported Noynoy Aquino in his presidency, INC would not even dare to touch the post reserved for Sec. Dinky Soliman. Anyway, even without INC, the victory of Noynoy Aquino is already assured. DSWD Secretary Dinky Soliman is one of the Hyatt 10 cabinet members who turned their back from Gloria Arroyo several years ago. Unlike the INC congressman Rodante Marcoleta and the whole INC cult, they were all ardent supporters of the Arroyo Administration. Iglesia Ni Cristo is a pro-Gloria Arroyo cult. INC is also hyprocrite on their civil chartity works, Lingap Sa Mamamayan. Iglesia Ni Cristo firmly believes and with strong conviction that all of us will go to hell. Heaven is strictly for INC members only. Heaven is EXCLUSIVE for INC members only.

Come on. Iglesia Ni Cristo being involved in an Anti-Poverty Government agency? Previously, 2 INC members have been Chief Justice of the Government, Serafin Cuevas and Artemio Tuquero. ex-PNP Chief Edgar Aglipay like ex-NBI Director Reynaldo Wycoco are also reported to be INC members and/or endorsed by INC. Now, INC is reportedly pushing the appointment of former Quezon City police chief Magtanggol Gatdula to NBI. I wonder what is the reason why Iglesia Ni Cristo is more concerned in endorsing appointments in Crimes Investigation and Law prosecution Government agencies instead on charitable Government Institutions available out there. Isn't it ironic because INC members are involved in different type of crimes? If INC is planning to clean up their mess, I don't think being involved in judicial government agencies and law enforcement will do. INC should be more concerned in more civic and charitable works for our fellow Filipinos. The problem is, that would be more hypocritical for INC since they are trained and indoctrinated to hate Catholics and Protestants. This is the problem when a religion or even a cult being involved in government appointments. Separation of Church and State should be applied! Iglesia Ni Cristo is indeed a political church.
