He also offers government a truce by year-end

By Raïssa Robles

When I interviewed Jose Maria Sison in Utrecht recently, I decided to ask him about his thoughts on present day China and its ownership claim of the South China Sea.

It was my first time to interview Sison, of whom I’d heard a lot about from my late English professor Concepcion Dadufalza. Sison came from the English Department and not from the Political Science Department of the University of the Philippines.

Below is an excerpt of the piece I wrote today for South China Morning Post. I wonder what Beijing thinks of Sison’s statements.

Exiled Philippine communist leader Sison blasts ‘greedy’ China over sea dispute
Raissa Robles
in Utrecht, the Netherlands

Communist Party of the Philippines founding chairman Jose Maria Sison has turned on his former benefactor, China, amid the South China Sea territorial dispute between Beijing and Manila.

“China is obviously being greedy, claiming 90 per cent of the South China Sea,” Sison told the South China Morning Post in his office in Utrecht, the Netherlands, 43 years after his fledgling rebellion was secretly sent weapons and cash by China’s late leader, Mao Zedong.

Sison called China’s territorial claims “foolish” and “false” and added that “it would be like India claiming the whole of the Indian Ocean or Mexico claiming all or most of the Gulf of Mexico.”

Sison offers a truce 

Eight hours into the interview, when we were both slightly groggy from the lateness of the hour,  Sison told me he was willing to forge a truce with the government before the New Year and maybe even sign an agreement on political and social reforms.

I asked the founding chairman of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) how this would be doable when President Benigno Aquino was about to step down from the presidency. He said he and former President Fidel Ramos did it before the latter stepped down in 1998 just by communicating through the fax machine and the telephone.

This should be easier to do now with digital technology, he said.

He also mentioned in passing that NPA rebels could later turn into forest guards and corporate guards to give them a means of livelihood.

And so, I wrote the story below regarding his offer.

Just a backdrop on this issue. When I interviewed President Aquino one-on-one three months ago, I asked him about the peace negotiations with the CPP-National Democratic Front-New People’s Army. Here is that portion of my interview with President Aquino:

Raissa Robles: I was also told that the reason why the negotiations with the left could not get quite get off the ground was because of what they did—what the left did during the time that your mother was dying, they paraded a coffin outside your home. Is that really a consideration why negotiations with the left?

PRESIDENT AQUINO: No.

Raissa Robles: No? And you don’t feel bad, I mean, you don’t take it against them?

PRESIDENT AQUINO: Again, I really believe I sincerely dialogue with anybody so long as the other party also wants a really dialogue. But, we were exploring that special track that was proposed by Jose Maria Sison. They left the negotiations—the informal track and the formal track. Now, they say they are ready for it again. I think they have to demonstrate sincerity first.

Raissa Robles: I see. So there is a chance that negotiations can resume?

PRESIDENT AQUINO: I’m having a briefing on that this afternoon.

  3. Is there an omen, a segno/sign coming into the 2016 elections?

    There could be. . . the INC will generate a deluge of protests by it’s high and low members by reason of corruption in INC management.

    Pero kapag pinaghari natin ang takot ay walang mangyayari sa Iglesia. [ Isaias Samson Samson, Jr., expelled minister of Iglesia who was the Editor-in-Chief of ‘Pasugo’]

    Will this affect the INC’s ‘block voting’ power? Yes. Surely it will to the extent that that power will not be there anymore in May 2016.

    The Message for all Iglesia members is: Don’t Let Your Fear Reign !

      • leona,

        I am for people especially the poor for their religiosity, because all religion teach some form of attitude which make for a civilized society. My criticism is with the leaders — no religion excepted — who usually are the first to abuse their religion.

        If only to end the usually unspoken or whispered practice of INC in contributing to the corruption of the Philippine political system, I am all for schism or splitting of the INC to as many divisions as possible to end its big influence in the corruption of our political system.

        • How right you are! Schism in religion took place a long time ago. Money and corruption were two of the reasons among the many.

          It probably started with Judas who pretensiously addressed his remarks to. . . Mary Magdalene who was wiping the Lord’s feet with a very costly perfume! Sayang! Sabi ni Judas. Mahal yun!

          From then on, many disciples got materialistic instead of being holistic. he he

          In the political field there were only a two-party system. Now multi-party is the norm. The politicos thought of schism or splitting up. Still many are materialistic. Never real polistic! he he

          The Catholic Church is wary too in this INK/INC corruption issue. If cracks up INK/INC to pieces, The C.C. will again be next. Kung sa ‘size’ Nanay na ELEPANTE ‘to!

          INK/INC members are made to listen/swallow what is told to them by their ministers acc to the Bible. So, their minds are ‘closed’ for any other understanding. Not anymore with the Catholics.

          INK/INC members are further made to believe that ‘outside’ of their SECT, there is no salvation. In the Catholic Church, nobody probably believes this anymore. Inside or outside, many will have salvation.

          Corruption, no doubt, exists in all religious institutions. Money is one root cause. Cannot be helped. Acc to JOMA ‘it’s all greedy, false and foolish!’

          :-)

      • leona, maybe it’s hard for ordinary INC members to speak up. they are probably kept in the dark, out of loop and not privy to confidential information, allowed only to see the good side of their leaders, never the bad side.

        I’m hoping higher ranking INCs will break rank and speak up. they’re the ones who really knew what is going on.

  4. IMPACT OF THE PRESIDENT’S ENDORSEMENT

    Since unlike Gloria Arroyo — whose trust rating was negative when she endorsed Gilberto Teodoro to the Presidency in the 2010 Election — the endorsement of President Aquino whose trust rating in the recent survey (per SWS) has bounced back to “good” territory, one may fairly assume that the positive impact to the endorsee will be either nil, minimal, moderate or strong.

    Commentaries in the media including those from the TV talking heads vary on their assessment of the endorsement impact.

    I believe that at least to the netizens the postive impact ranges between minimal to moderate. I CORRELATE this view to the result of an interesting online survey made by Inquirer, with the question,

    Do you think Grace Poe should run for President even without Aquino’s blessing?

    The result as of 2015-07-26 11:28 AM:

    A. Yes 45.1% (12,030 votes)
    B. No 54.9% (14, 845 votes)

    Total votes 26,875

    EXPLANATION. The question presented online could have referred to Mar Roxas instead of Grace Poe as surveyed. Nevertheless, if there is no impact — to the perception of the netizens at least — why should the answer to the question posed result in a majority NO? (Or my coffee is not doing its job on a leisurely Sunday.)

    Additional note: if the netizens surveyed represents a random set of the totality of netizens, then the error in the survey result above is about 0.6%

    • who needs aquino when she has chiz? if grace runs independent , she is already famous and probably will not need that much money in campaigning. all she has to do is crook her little finger and adoring people dagsa to her, kissing the ground she walks on. all over the country, airline companies will probably give her free trips in return for her endorsement. same with hotels and accommodations – all free! there is gold mine if grace knows how to dig.

      I wish grace would run independent and see for herself how well loved, or hated, she really is.

      • good advice, @moonie.
        hali nga aling gp.
        takbo na.
        pampagising ng diwa ang pagtakbo mo.

  5. WHO WILL STOP CHINA’S AGRESSION IN THE PACIFIC?

    “The top U.S. military officer in the Pacific sternly warned China on Friday to immediately cease its “aggressive coercive island building” in the South China Sea, which he argued was intended clearly for China’s military use as forward operating bases in combat against their regional neighbors.”

    “Adm. Harry Harris, commander of U.S. Pacific Command, said the U.S. would use military force to defend its interests and its allies against any threats from the islands. “I believe those facilities are clearly military in nature,” Harris said at the Aspen Security Forum, an annual gathering in Colorado of dozens of top U.S. national security leaders, convened by the Aspen Institute.”

    “”“They are building ports that are deep enough to host warships and they’re building a 10,000-foot runway at Fiery Cross Reef,” Harris said, referring to one of China’s construction activities in the Spratly Islands that Japan has protested. “A 10,000-foot runaway is large enough to take a B-52, almost large enough for the Space Shuttle, and 3,000 feet longer than you need to take off a 747. So, there’s no small airplane that requires a runway of that length. They’re building rebutted aircraft hangers at some of the facilities there that are clearly designed, in my view, to host tactical fighter aircraft.””

    • The U.S. will not allow China to control the West Philippine Sea. I’ve been saying this that it is not about the Philippines being an ally but it’s purely in their interest to remain that sea lanes open. This issue will be a hot topic for debate in 2016 presidential elections. Take your pick.

      Thanks to PNoy for involving the United Nations (UN) so the US and its allies can easily do their job in case that a military intervention is needed to bring most of the islands back to the Philippines. I just wish that we avoid a shooting war because our country is so weak to defend our shores.

      • to ensure safety at sea, I’ve read somewhere that USA may resort to escorting our troop carrying supply to those stationed at rusty old ship sierra madre. maybe, also to ensure that our troop as well as the chinese coast guard will not exchange military fire. no unnecessary loss of human life.

        • China with all its propaganda is a paper dragon militarily compared to the US. Marami pa silang kakaining bigas but they can sure sting the Americans. Will China do that? Of course not unless they want to go back to stone age. Worst, change their govt political system and divide China into small countries by its conquerors.

    • Practically, only the might of the US Armed Forces can stop China militarily.

      Chinese leaders knows that with it’s 2+ million PLA soldiers cannot safely swim in the sea waters with [let’s say about 5000 great White sharks are there waiting] guarantee.

      The naval battle at South China Sea between the US Navy and Red Chinese Navy will put an ocean shame on Red China.

      he he :-)

      • gaganti yang mga sharks. many of their sharks fins end up in chinese soups. time for the sharks to make meal of chinese sailors!

  6. a suggestion to the presidential candidate running against binay: focus on jobs, the creation of jobs, the environment that favors job creation. jobs, jobs, jobs. kung magnanakaw ang nasa itaas, ano ang ipekto nito sa pagpapalago ng ekonomiya at pagpaparami ng trabaho. language of jobs will be understood in urban centers as well as in the peripheries. sino sa mga kandidato ngayon ang nagcontribute na sa pagpaparami ng trabaho? sino sa mga kandidato ngayon ang nagpasimula sa mga call centers?

  7. NP AND NPC DEBUNK EARLIER CLAIM OF AGGABAO OF NP AND NPC SUPPORT FOR POE-ESCUDERO TANDEM

    The Philippine Star — Alan Peter as Mar VP? Feelers sent (July 25, 2015 – 12:00am)

    http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2015/07/25/1480723/alan-peter-mar-vp-feelers-sent

    MY COMMENT

    Aside from elaborating on the news as indicated by the title of the article above, what struck my curiosity/ interest are the following excerpts:
    ——————————————————————————-
    Villar’s wife Cynthia had debunked claims by Isabela Rep. Giorgidi Aggabao, president of the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC), that there were ongoing talks with the NP to support the tandem of Poe and Escudero.

    The senator said the news came as a surprise to her and her husband after Aggabao was reported as saying that support for the Poe-Escudero tandem was gathering steam at the NP and NPC.
    …
    Batangas Rep. Mark Llandro Mendoza, NPC secretary general, clarified their party has not decided on the presidential and vice presidential aspirants it would support.
    …
    (Mendoza added …) “The only thing that is clear and well established at this point is our unwavering support to this government and its efforts towards good and honest governance, and that we will only select candidates whom we believe would best represent the aspirations of our people while advocating a dedicated and transparent governance,” he said.

    He said the NPC is not leaving the Liberal Party-led administration coalition.

    “It is important that during these times of raised political noise, we send a clear message that there is no breaking away from the coalition,” he added.

    Local NPC leaders also denied entering into an alliance with the NP to support the tandem of Poe and Escudero.
    —————————————————————-

    CONTINUING WITH MY COMMENT:

    In my opinion the poisonous nature of the Poe-Escudero tandem — orchestrated by the Trapo Extraordinaire of Noybi fame, Escudero, who is riding on the meteoric rise of Poe’s popularity — caused both the NP and NPC to debunk the earlier claim of Aggabao that NP and NPC are supporting Poe-Escudero. Even Osmena in an earlier statement distanced himself from Poe, caused no doubt, in my opinion, by Escudero’s interference. Osmena was an advisor of Poe in the 2010 Senatorial bid.

    • osmena is probably thinking now that grace changes advisors as often as she changes her kamisa.

  8. on the lighter side….. (excerpt from The Professional Heckler):
    LEAKED SONA : 2015
    ********************************************

    “Hindi naman sa pagmamayabang, isang malaking tagumpay ang kampanya natin laban sa katiwalian.

    Nakapagpakulong tayo ng isang dating pangulo. [Applause]

    Nakapagpakulong tayo ng tatlong incumbent senators, ilang dating kongresista, gobernador, mayor! [Applause]

    At MAKAPAGPAPAKULONG tayo ng isang bise presidente. All caps ang MAKAPAGPAPAKULONG para intense. [Applause / Standing ovation: LP members]”

    • Is it divine intervention that incidents of abductions seems to be the catalyst that exposed the alleged massive corruption of powerful people in the highest echelon of our society?

      Does it require divine intervention to highlight once more that money is the root of most evil?

      The abduction of Benhur Luy was the catalyst that exposed the massive PDAP scam allegedly masterminded by Janet Lim Napoles.

      Will the alleged abduction of some INC ministers be the catalyst that will pull down the curtain shielding the secretive Iglesia ni Cristo?

      • Anything that is corrupt will eventually exposed. As water will seek its own level and so true with any corrupt practices. “Walang baho na hindi sisingaw” at “walang lihim na di nabubunyag”.

        I hope that INC leadership practice their own teachings and STAY AWAY from politics. STAY AWAY from politicians. They can deny all they want about BLOCK VOTING pero sino ang niloloko nila? Hayan ang resulta. Puro pulitika na sa loob at ang unang casualty ay hindi ang mga Manalo kundi ang buong Iglesia.

        • “my right hand raised to god on high, cross my heart and hope to die!”

          “in the scales of justice, retributions always had to balance the crime.”

          INC is caught with its very fat hands in the cookie jar cornucopia. chris brown has run away, INC’s dignity gone with him. apparently, INC is broke.

        • @Moonie, I think what you’re saying is true. But the coffer will always be full every Sunday service and bible studies. The law of tithes at INC is more strict than paying your taxes with the govt otherwise, ititiwalag ka. Many devotees prefer to be blind just like in any other sects and religions. Money and power, truly can make a man ambitious and change your intentions.

          The INC leadership should go back to the early teachings of Ka Felix. Be more transparent and AVOID POLITICS & the POLITICIANS. Pero suntok na ito sa buwan lalo na at involve ang Manalo.

        • INK or INC built that Arena of Defeat !

          Look back: Tower of Babel; Roman Coliseum; Tower of London; Twin Tower in NYC; The DMCI Tower at Luneta and Taft Avenue, Manila.

          And now –

          the INK/INC Philippine Arena Tower at Bocaue/Sta. Maria, Bulacan!

          he he :-)

        • SI Felix Manalo po ang pasimuno ng “bulok voting.” Kasama yan sa doktrina nila na magkaisa daw dapat ang iglesya maging sa paghalal ng mga lider ng bayan. Panahon pa ni Quezon ay nilalapitan na ng mga pulitiko ang INC dahil nga sa “bulok voting” nilang yan.

        • I saw in bandila news sabi, INC is apparently selling block votes to politicians. those politicians that cannot afford exuberant fees dont get endorsed. and those that pay for endorsement, still risk being upstaged by other politicians if higher fee is paid. pataasan pala ng bayad. corrupt pala at napaka ang simbahang ito.

        • Matagal nang napapabalita yan. Early 90s nang magsimulang magkaroon ng ganyang tsismis dahil marami akong kaibigan at kaklase na member ng INC at sila mismo ang nagsasabi. At least sa local elections noon ay meron na pero mas naging prominente ito nang maupo si FVR.

          Kapag birthday ni Manalo at anibersaryo ay maraming streamers na bumabati dito. Nadumihan ang Iglesia at ngayon nga ay sumingaw na dahil bumaho ng masyado.

        • maybe no longer tsismis for there is hard evidence: bandila news reporter has sighted letters written by a mayor to INC, questioning lack of endorsement, and INC’s answer to said letters. money was mentioned, apparently.

  10. LGUs will now be very careful in inviting Binay as guest speaker.

    Fire hits Tayabas City a few days after Binay was invited as the LGU’s guest speaker at the 200th birth anniversary of Quezon hero Apolinario de la Cruz, known as “Hermano Pule.”

    • Binay was invited for the magic show/intermission as per Deo Virtucio, Inquirer commenter, below:

      Junjun Binay & his Dad (VP Binay) entered a chocolate store. As they were busy looking, Junjun stole 3 chocolate bars from the shop.
      As they left the store, Junjun said to VP Binay “Hey Dad! I’m the best thief ever, I stole 3 chocolates & no one saw me, can you beat that!”
      VP Binay replied: “You wanna see something better, let’s go back to the shop and I’ll show you what is real stealing.”
      So they went to the counter and VP Binay said to the shop boy : “Do you wanna see magic?”
      Shop boy replied: “Yes.”
      VP Binay said: “Give me one chocolate bar.”
      The shop boy gave him one, and he ate it. He asked for the second, and he ate that as well. He asked for the third, and finished that one too.
      The shop boy asked: “But where’s the magic?”
      VP Binay replied: “Check in my son Junjun pockets, and you’ll find the chocolates

    • LGUs will have a remedial suggestion for VP BInay’s speeches delivery,

      at Any Fire Station !

      ha ha

  11. Iglesia ni Kristo – A monster in the making!

    Sumasabog na ang balita tungkol sa isa sa pinaka-politcally powerful na Kulto sa Pilipinas: Ang kurapsyon sa INC!

    Sa mga marunong mag add ng 1+1=2 eh alam na kung bakit ang kupad ng Administrasyon ni Aquino sa pag aksyon tungkol sa abduction at kidnapping allegations at mismong sa National TV eh nakikita ang mga placards na naghihingi ng tulong at maeron pang tip na yung Revo na may plaka na numero eh mga armado at mag-ingat.

    Matagal ko ng nabasa ang blog ni Antonio Ebangelista at ako ay naniniwala sa karamihan ng kanyang isinulat noon pa pero dahil isa lang syang blogger laban sa isang institusyon na respetado at nagmanikluhod ang mga kingpin sa Pulitika sa Pilipinas from Congressmen, Senators at mga VP at Presidente eh para lang si AE nagsasalita sa pader.

    Pero dahil sa video ni Tenny na Mommy ni Eduardo at ni Angel na kapatid ni Eduardo na sya ang hinirang na pinuno ng INC eh sumabog ang na ang kanilang mga baho na matagal ng itinatago!

    Ang akusasyon ni Tenny at ni Angel eh mas nakikinig si Eduardo sa mga alipores na nakapaligid na mga miyembro ng Sanggunnian (7 powerpful members) na sila ang nagdedesisyon sa pera at mga proyekto ng INC at iba pang importanteng mga dikta. Sabi nila eh mas nakikinig si Eduardo sa kanyang Asawa na si Ventura at ang biyenan na si Rick Ventura, tatay ni “Jezebel’.

    Sabi ni Angel ang doktrina ay nalabag dahil dati eh ang gastos ay ang pagpapatayo lang ng simbahan per ngayon eh iba na at ginamit pa sa pagtayo ng pinakamalaking arena na nagkakahalaga ng $200,000,000. Sa ibang balit, ito ay pag-aari daw ng Maligaya Development Corp (MDC) at ang MDC ang ngakontrata kay Chris Brown na magperform last year na 100 year anniversary ng INC sa Philippine Arena and the Philippine Sports Stadium, pero di sinipot ni Chris Brown. Kaya naman ng magconcert noong isang araw dito si Chris Brown at ng papauwi na eh rumesbak ang INC at nag-issue ng hold departure order kay Chris Brown! Ganyan ka-astig ang INC nakalukluk sa gobyerno. Yung contractor ng Philippine Arena eh San Jose Builders daw at ito ay pag-aari ni Pacquito Ochoa at nagpartner sa isang Korean Company. Hanefs sa connection, Executive Secretary yan at Binay Supporter! INC for Binay dati noong 2010?

    Eto ang siste, noong pumunta si QCPD chief Senior Superintendent Joel Pagdilao sa Tandang Sora na kung saan eh naka-detine sila Angel Manalo, eh wala na daw hostage taking!? At sabi naman ni Angel eh, yung mga hininging saklolo na nakita ng media at naipakita pa sa TV eh nagbibiro lang daw ang bata! WADAPAK! Hanefs sa crisis management!

    SI Ministro Lowell Robasa Menorca II naman eh nakadetin sa Cavite. Ang Palusot naman ni Supt. Joseph Arguelles, the city chief, eh nahulihan daw ng 2 granada pero bakit binitbit from Bicol papuntang Cavite? Hanefs parang sine! Ang masiste pa eh ng mag request ang Inquirer na makita si Menorca sabi ni Arguelles eh di daw pwede kung walang permiso ang abogadoni Menorca.Eh yung abogado naman ni Menorca eh di naman talaga abogado ni Menorca kundi ng INC ipindadala sa Cavite para busalan si Menorca at sya kuno ang representante ni Menorca! Grabe parang sine daming co-conspirators!

    Eto pa, ng lumabas na dahil sa lobby ng INC kaya naging PNP Chief si Marquez. Totoo yan! Kaya naman gamit pa ang PNP sa pag-deteni at pag-cover-up. Si Samson na insider sa INC at powerful na editor ng PASUGO, ang official paper ng INCeh na-detine rin pero naka-puslit. Pero instead na pumunta sa PNP o di kaya sa NBI, sa US Embassy sya pumunta dahil sabi nya, di raw safe sa PNP at NBI dahil ang mga INC o mga tauhan ng INC nakapwesto sa mga sensitibong at powerful na pwesto! Wow, alam ko na yan dati pero not this powerful! Talagang malayo na at malawak na ang kapangyarihan na nakamit ng INC! SI former NBI Chief Wycoco at Magtanggol Gatdula ay mga INC yan. Si LTO chief Virginia Torres a INC rin!

    Kaya nabanggit ko na monster in the making ang INC kasi ang mismong mga pulitiko ang kumukupkup sa kanila at pinatataba as kakampi. Pero naglaon dahil nga nakapwesto sila sa mga sensitibo at mga powerful na pwesto eh malamang mga abusado yan. Ang matindi nyan dahil sila ay kulto eh ang kanilang aksyon eh pwedeng pumatay ng Presidente kapag sa akala ng INC ay ang Presidente ay iniipit sila at dahil sa utos ng pamunuan ng INC ay pwedeng maglikida ng Presidente o mga importanteng mga Pulitiko na sa tingin nila ay kalaban. Kung infiltrated ng INC ang PNP at NBI at di lang infiltrated kundi ang mga police superintendents eh mga bata nila o di kaya mga INC memebr pa, eh delikado yan dahil masayadong concentrated ang poder sa kanilang samahan. Dati kontento na sila sa pera na mga bayad ng mga pulitiko kapalit ang block voting, ngayon eh hindi na dahil di lang pera kundi pati mga pwesto sa PNP, NBI, DOJ, Customs at iba-iba pang sangay ng gobyerno! Pero ang pinaka-delikado ay ang sa PNP at NBI dahil grabe ang intel at mga rubouts dyan!

    Si Manay Delima ay tumtulay sa manipis na tali kasi pag nagkamali sya ng paghawak sa usaping INC eh patay ang pagka Senadora nya dahil di sya iboboto ng INC! Ganon din ang ating karamihang Pulitiko.

    Di nyo ba nahahalata, walang mga statements ang mga magagaling na mga Presidentiables? Anong sabi ni Poe, Binay at Roxas? Di ba sa kahit anong usapin eh umeepal si Chiz, bakit ngayon para atang ayaw sumawsaw? Ano naman ang masabi ni Ochoa sa kanyang partner na MDC sa usaping break-up ng INC? Ang mga magagaling na mag-imbestiga na mga Senador at Senador natin, bakit silent? Bakit walang panukala na maghain ng investigation in aid of legislation tungkol sa mga Kulto?

    Eto ang ebidensya kung papano naging monster ang INC at takot ang mga ating mga makpangyarihan na mga pulitiko sa kanila: Bakit wala tayong narinig na komento galing kay Aquino?

    Yan ang kapalit kung ang ating mga pulitiko ay nag-aalaga ng monster, kahit sila ay pwedeng kainin!

    Advice lang. Eto na ang pagkakataon na mabawasan ang sungay at angking venom ng INC. Dapat imbestigahan na nila ang mga abduction at kidnapping dahil saklaw ito ng batas at walang kinalaman ang separation of Church and State! Pag di nila pinutol ang mga kuko ng lagim ng INC eh sa mga susunod na taon eh mas lalong mabangis ang kultong ito at ang sambayanang Pilipino eh kanilang lalamunin!

    PS
    Kudos to ‘Antonio Ebangelista’ for his blog that unravelled this secretive cult but powerful organization that has national implications through their influence in the outcome of our elections and the quid-pro-quo that placed their members in evey nook of our government perpetuating and nurturing their unrivalled power!

        • mamasa-kristo, we are all stunned. palagay ko’y stunned din ang mga politiko and could not believe what the hell is happening. they dont know what to say, or do, talagang unprecedented ito. who would believe INC would air their very dirty linen not only in public but also in prime time t.v. walang preno, walang delikadeza, help me, help me, help me, ika. they were expecting us to help them, in what way for godssake! duck tape their mouths? he, he, he, take away all their goldbars for safekeeping?

          I was expecting china to blow in our faces, only INC beat them to it.

        • The chief and witty defense counsel of renato corona, the late Serafin Cuevas, retired associate justice of the Supreme Court, was an INC member (PDI 2/1/12)

          How many more AJs in the SC and lower courts are INC members in active duty? The length of the tentacles seems immeasurable.

        • That’s a good observation. I wonder who can make a list of INC members in juicy positions right now. But as I’ve said that it’s part of INC’s political strategy as they are known for block voting and repercussions are coming. Kapag sumawsaw ka sa pultika ay tiyak na madudumihan ka at iyan ang nangyayari ngayon sa Iglesia.

          Damage has been done now that the Manalo’s are involved. It will take decades and apolitical leadership to bring back the respect of the people.

    • Kudos din sa iyo @Parekoy sa istorya na yan. Parang hindi nangaling sa “unreliable source” mo.

    • Kung tutuusin ay wala sana tayong pakialam sa Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) dahil a religion is more personal in nature. Ang INC ay matagal na nag-focus sa pananampalataya ngunit sa matagal na panahon ay hindi maiiwasan talaga na lapitan sila ng mga pulitiko dahil lumalago ito. Nakipaglaro sila sa apoy ng pulitika at tiyak na madudumihan sila kahit itanggi pa. Wala naman kaibahan ang INC sa denominasyon ni Pastor Quibiloy sa Mindanao, El Shaddai ni Bro. Mike Velarde or si Bro. Eddie ng JIL. Lahat ng mga nabanggit ay may impluwensya na mahirap sukatin dahil na rin sa maaaring kahinaan ng pagpapatupad ng mga lider ng simbahan ukol sa pagsawsaw sa pulitika. Mga lider na nirerespeto bago mahalata ng taumbayan ang lakas nila sa gobyerno. Para sa akin ay mahirap nang maibalik ng INC ang moral authority na dati nilang naeenjoy sa mata ng mga tao, miyembro man o hindi.

      Ito ba’y nakakapagtaka? Hindi at bakit? Dahil ang isa sa pinakamaimpluwensya na relihiyon sa buong mundo ay ang Catholic Chuch at ramdam natin ito mula panahon ng Kastila hanggang sa kasalukuyan. Sanay nang makialam at patuloy pa na makikialam. Naniniwala ako na hindi mahihinto ang ganitong sistema dahil na rin sa patuloy na lalapitan sila ng mg pulitiko at tiyak na ito ay may kapalit, aminin man o hindi. Sana lamang ay mismong ang pamunuan ng malalaking relihiyon o denominasyon ay siya mismong huwag magpagamit sa mga pulitiko dahil ito ay recipe for disaster. Tigilan na makipag-kompromiso sa mga pulitiko na ibibigay ang ‘block vote’ or support dahil dito nagsisimula ng korapsyon na unti-unting sisira sa kanila kagaya ng kasalukuyang nagaganap sa Iglesia Ni Cristo.

      • @Vhin AB kasapi ka ba sa dating daan or matuwad na daan? hinde mo kasi sinali to the above….hehehe peace!

      • Palagay ko ay malabong itigil ng INC ang kanilang “bulok voting” dahil ito ay isa sa kanilang doktrina. Mahirap na sa kanila ang magbago ng doktrina sapagkat nakamasid ang mundo. Marubdob nilang pinaninindigan ang doktrinang yan na diumano ay nakasulat sa Biblia. Higit sa lahat, yan ay minana pa nila sa kanilang “sugo” na si Felix Manalo, kaya’t hindi puwedeng baliin yan para umayon sa panahon.

        Kayat ang suma tutal, tuloy pa rin ang kanilang pakikipaglaro sa apoy ng pulitika dahil ito ay legacy ng matandang Manalo.

        Maliban na lamang kung magkaroon ng “milagro” at bigla ngang pumuti ang uwak.

    • @parekoy, parang earlier novels ni Robert Ludlum before the Bourne series ang story a.
