Eh di wow

Monday morning, while commuters in Metro Manila were bracing for another day of agony with the already bad traffic situation made worse by the rally staged by the Iglesia ni Cristo, Eagle News PH, posted this breaking news:

“Official Statement of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, ending the 5-day peaceful assembly in victory”

There was a video of Iglesia Ni Cristo General Evangelist Bro. Bienvenido Santiago.

Below the video is this caption:

“MANILA, Philippines (4th UPDATE) – The Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) on Monday, August 31, ended their 5-day protest against the government’s supposed interference with internal church matters, saying they have reached an understanding with the Aquino administration.”

The Iglesia ni Cristo is making a mockery of Philippine laws and personalities who are aspiring for the presidency are either kowtowing to the church leadership or treading lightly on the controversy.

Vice President Jejomar Binay has become the INC’s prime protector accusing Justice Secretary Leila de Lima’s investigation of reported kidnapping and detention of INC members as ”a clear act of harassment and interference from the administration.”

Sen. Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., whose father ‘s two decade rule enjoyed the support of the INC , accused De Lima of “mishandling” the INC issue which he said led to the rally that worsened the already bad traffic situation in Metro Manila.

Sen. Grace Poe is a disappointment. Asked in a forum in Nueva Ecija on the INC isyu, she kept on inserting the Mamasapano massacre. Was she saying that De Lima should not touch the INC kidnapping issue until after the Mamasapano case is resolved which could be forever?

How much pull is an INC endorsement?

Published by Ellen on May 7, 2013

INC templeIglesia ni Cristo’s list of senatorial candidates to be endorsed is interesting and intriguing.

Crossing party lines, INC’s list includes seven from Team PNoy (Sonny Angara,Bam Aquino,Alan Peter Cayetano,Grace Poe,Loren Legarda,Antonio Trillanes, and Cynthia Villar) and five from United Nationalist Alliance (JV Ejercito,Richard Gordon,Nancy Binay,Gringo Honasan and Jack Enrile).

An INC member said the day after the list was reported in media, a high ranking official of the church told them that it’s not final and changes may be made before the Monday election. That should keep the suspense among those in the list as well as those who want to get the endorsement that would be crucial in their getting into the Magic 12.

According to reliable survey groups like Social Weather Stations and Pulse Asia, of all the religious groups, it’s only the INC that has proven to deliver command votes. There has been no proof of command votes delivered by El Shaddai, Jesus is Lord ( JIL was not able to make its leader, Eddie Villanueva, win in his past presidential bid. He is now a senatorial candidate and is not rating high in surveys) and other religious groups.

9 pm, May 3, Got this message from a friend who said the other day that INC will endorse Erap-Binay: INC changes mind, goes for Noy-Mar.”
Inquirer: Quiboloy endorses Teodoro

Got word from a friend yesterday that INC leadership chose Estrada over Aquino.

Sumulat sa akin si Generoso Arinuelo tungkol sa aking sinulat noong Martes na dahil sa mukhang panalo na si Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, ang kandidato ng Liberal Party, aasahan natin sa susunod na mga araw i-endorso siya ng mga sigurista at mga oportunista .

Sabi ko, “Hindi malayo ang Iglesia ni Kristo , El Shaddai at Pastor Quiboloy hahanay na yan kay Aquino.”

Nasaktan si Gen Arinuelo na nagtatrabaho ngayon sa New Doha International Airport Project ng Overseas Bechtel bilang Civil/Structural field engineer .

Ito ang buong sulat ni Gen: “ Isa po ako sa marami ninyong tagasubaybay ng inyong kolum sa Abante Online dito sa ibang bansa. Pagpasok ko pa lang sa umaga sa aking opisina ay agad kong binubuksan ang aking computer para magbasa lagi ng inyong kolum habang nagkakape. Sa bawat kolum po ninyo, ako po ay humahanga at naniniwala sa inyong mga sinasabi.
