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
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)?
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.

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.
