Dilemma of Iglesia Ni Cristo on Leila de Lima

The political cult group is having a dilemma over the current Secretary of Justice Leila de Lima. Previously, the cult of the Manalo family rejoiced when 2 INC members became secretary of justice under the Estrada administration. Serafin Cuevas became the secretary of Justice immediately after Joseph Estrada was elected as the Philippine president in 1998. Cuevas was dismissed from his post after a terrible performance and with series of controversial issues. He was replaced by another INC member Artemio Tuquero. I am thinking that the only reason why Cuevas and Tuquero was put into as Justice secretary was because of the INC endorsement for Estrada in 1998 presidential election.

Time and things are different now under Noynoy Aquino administration. Corruption is not as vulgar and cruel compared to the administration of Gloria Arroyo. Sec. Leila de Lima caught the attention and adoration of Filipinos when she resisted the alleged planned escape of Gloria Arroyo in NAIA. She insisted that the Hold Departure order against Arroyo is in effect. (Arroyo is believed to be the most corrupt Philippine president and a close political ally of the INC Manalo family). There are 2 major issues why the cult of Iglesia Ni Cristo is scratching their head over Sec. Leila de Lima. The 2 big cases which are now being handled by Sec. de Lima that hurts INC are: The Ruby Rose Slay case and the Magtanggol Gatdula kidnapping/extortion case. Both involves INC cult members.




Ruby Rose Slay Case

The suspected killer-turned into witness of the Ruby Rose Slay Case pointed Lope Jimenez as the mastermind in killing his niece-in-law Ruby Rose Barrameda-Jimenez. Lope Jimenez allegedly ordered the killer of Ruby Rose to abduct and murder Ruby Rose, and seal her body in cement inside a metal drum. The last justice secretary of Gloria Arroyo, Agnes Devanadera dropped the case against Lope Jimenez but was reversed by Leila de Lima.

Lope Jimenez is a Manalo follower, an Iglesia Ni Cristo cult member. Some believe that Lope joined INC just to protest his fishing business. Who is the lawyer of Lope Jimenez? It's Ferdinand Topacio, also an INC member. Who is Ferdinand Topacio? The lawyer of Gloria Arroyo. (Gloria Arroyo is a close political ally of the Manalo family of Iglesia Ni Cristo cult)





Gatdula Case

The kidnapping and extortion case of Magtanggol Gatdula is a very high-profile case since it involves a Japanese woman as the victim and an NBI director as one of its main suspect. Gatdula was dismissed from his post after an investigation following the expose of Mon Tulfo on his column in Inquirer. The appointment of Magtanggol Gatdula as NBI chief was backed by Iglesia Ni Cristo cult. Now that Gatdula is in trouble, who is Gatdula's lawyer? It's Abraham Espejo, also an INC member. Who is Abraham Espejo? He is the Dean of New Era College of Law, New Era University is owned by the leadership of the INC. Lawyers of Gatdula are all members of INC and professors at the NE university.

The head of Iglesia Ni Cristo Legal Department is Dorothy Kristine Manalo, daughter of INC executive minister Eduardo Manalo. (Dorothy was reported to have failed her first bar exam take and Erano Manalo tried to appeal it but failed). As we can see, INC is in full support for Gatdula. The INC Legal Department are ready to fight for their 'kapatid' Magtanggol Gatdula.

I support Leila de Lima in her tough fight against corruption.

She is now facing a very ruthless and determined political group.

Woe unto Iglesia Ni Cristo.

Woe unto the Manalo family.

Kudos to Leila de Lima.

NBI National Bureau of Iglesia Ni Cristo

Manila, Philippines - After reading news about Iglesia Ni Cristo members abusing their powers as NBI operatives, I am now scared of National Bureau of Investigation. INC members tarnished the clean reputation of NBI. Ordinary Filipinos and taxpayers are now frightened whenever NBI is being mentioned thanks to ex NBI chiefs Reynaldo Wycoco, Magtanggol Gatdula and some INC members inside NBI. It was reported that the Iglesia Ni Cristo cult group endorsed Magtanggol Gatdula, what a shame. Magtanggol Gatdula is now facing Kidnapping and Extortion charges. Like INC member Reynaldo Wycoco, Magtanggol Gatdula are former NBI chiefs who brought shame and embarrassment to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). President Noynoy Aquino lost his trust to Gatdula after hearing the news about the Kidnapping and Extortion charges against Gatdula. Gatdula has been ordered to turn over the Japanese lady to Bureau of Immigration but refused to do so, insubordination indeed. Why did Gatdula refused to turn over the Japanese alien? because of Money, ransom or refusal to admit guilt?

This is not the first time that an Iglesia Ni Cristo member brought shame to NBI. Reynaldo Wycoco (back when he was still alive) was involved with different scandals inside NBI. Wycoco scandalized NBI when a witness (whistle blower) Acsa Ramirez was presented as a suspect. Wycoco also informed former President Arroyo that Pentagon Gang leader Faizal Marohombsar was already willing to surrender, but later, Arroyo have to publicly apologize for the false information. Wycoco, an INC member obviously shame to NBI. Sadly after Wycoco, Iglesia Ni Cristo endorsed another INC member for the NBI top post. Gatdula was appointed to be NBI chief but failed to give honor to his job.

I hope the next NBI Chief will not be an INC member. Wycoco and Gatdula was a failure. We need to clean up NBI. As President Noynoy Aquino have said, he is looking for a tough and clean public servant and law enforcer as the next NBI chief. We do not need people like Magtanggol Gatdula. We do not need scalawag INC members in NBI. To Server and Protect. With Honor and Integrity. Not with insubordination, kidnapping and extortion.

I think, Iglesia Ni Cristo failed in teaching good values to some of its members. Crimes involving INC members have been reported in Philippine newspapers even including massacre inside an INC chapel, INC member killed a whole INC family members inside an INC compound and now INC member involved in a high profile case. The Manalo family enjoyed their rule since Felix Manalo founded INC in 1913. Felix Manalo was also accused of raping many women. Erano Manalo was involved and numerous political activities. Eduardo Manalo is still struggling to make a name for his leadership. Inheriting leadership from his father does not make him a good leader. Good leadership needs skill and character. I am still waiting if Eduardo Manalo will expel questionable INC members like Magtanggol Gatdula.

Iglesia Ni Cristo to expel Magtanggol Gatdula as INC member?
INC member Serafin Cuevas to withdraw from Corona impeachment to defend Gatdula?

Remains to be seen.

Iglesia Ni Cristo NBI chief Gatdula dismissed

Manila Philippines - NBI Chief Magtanggol Gatdula was ordered to be dismissed from his post after being implicated for a kidnapping and extortion charges from a Japanese woman. I was already suspicious with Gatdula's appointment when I found out that he is an Iglesia Ni Cristo member and was endorsed by the INC political cult to the post on NBI. (Court of Appeals Presiding Justice Ruben Reyes was appointed by Gloria Arroyo to the Supreme Court of the Philippines in 2007, his appointment was backed by Iglesia Ni Cristo. Later, Reyes was barred from practicing law because of being guilty of gross misconduct.)

Before the Iglesia Ni Cristo started endorsing their INC members to be appointed as NBI chief, the head of the Bureau was traditionally being picked among the insiders or came from the NBI personnel itself. Then INC started to endorsed Reynaldo Wycoco and then Magtanggol Gatdula, both INC members. During his stay in NBI, Reynaldo Wycoco was involved in different issues and scandal. Now, Magtanggol Gatdula have embarrassed the reputation of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). Kidnapping and Extortion are both heavy crimes for a supposedly officer to protect and serve the people.

Political cult Iglesia Ni Cristo is dangerous and has been infesting the Philippine political arena for several decades already. INC is involved with Government Appointments. They endorse INC members for their desired government positions. Iglesia Ni Cristo also uses their religious doctrine of bloc voting in endorsing political candidates during elections in the Philippines. Pay-offs or money are reported to be paid in exchange of the political endorsement of INC of the Manalo family. Extortion in exchange for Election endorsement by INC? Residents in on Bulacan Municipality have previously alleged that INC leaders sold the promise of bloc votes to local candidates. In Cebu, Governor Gwendolyn Garcia exposed that she previously failed to get an INC endorsement after she refused a request/demand by an INC minister in Cebu to release a payment of a contract involving the purchase of the camera used in a summit.

I don't think that the dismissal of Magtanggol Gatdula from his NBI post is a political Vendetta of PNoy against the cult of Iglesia Ni Cristo. It is obvious that INC is behind Gloria Arroyo and her cohorts since INC lawyers are defending Arroyo, Merceditas Gutierrez and Renato Corona. The case filed against Gatdula was brought by Gatdula to himself alone. Kidnapping and extortion are both serious matters and cannot be simply made up politically. The criminal charges against the INC member Gatdula occurred even before the Corona impeachment. The clear involvement, testimonies and evidences against Magtanggol Gatdula of kidnapping and extortion cannot be made overnight. Of course, INC members and administration was obviously hurt by this total embarrassment made by their co-INC member Gatdula. The criminal intent is clear.

Watch your back President Noynoy Aquino. The cult of Iglesia Ni Cristo was humiliated and they simply cannot ignore this kind of embarrassment. Historically, INC joined EDSA 3 in protest against the Philippine government. INC members were hurt and died in EDSA 3. The cult of Iglesia Ni Cristo is using the doctrine of the Manalo family for different kind of motives; politically, personally and wickedly.

• Artemio Tuquero is a legal counsel of Gloria Arroyo

• Serafin Cuevas legal counsel of Merceditas Gutierrez and Renato Corona

• Ferdinand Topacio is a personal attorney of Gloria Arroyo

Artemio Tuquero, Serafin Cuevas and Ferdinand Topacio are Iglesia Ni Cristo members.

INC Erano Manalo and Eduardo Manalo are both political allies of Gloria Arroyo.
