One of the religious leader greaters of the Phillipino chose in Florianópolis as housing and base of launching for the South America of the church that already it commands in five continents. It is from there, of the North of the Island of Santa Catarina, that the Phillipino Eliseo Soriano, 60 years, leads a net of more than 3 million followers spread for Asia, Europe, Oceania, Africa and North America.

Brother Eli, as it is known, is installed next to centrinho to International Jurerê, the three blocks of the sea. Together with it, is about integrant others 20 of the Members Church of God International (Members of the Church of International God). The property of five suítes is evaluated in approximately R$ 2,5 million, value that would have been spent for the purchase of the property. The neighbors describe them as likeable, but reserved.

Boarded for the news article of the Daily Catarinense, one of the occupants of the house, little more than 20 years, said, in English, who had come to Brazil the tourism and that he was with its uncle. Asked for Soriano, first it affirmed that it did not know it and not wise person who age. Later, when the team of the DC touched the bell of the house, the inhabitants they wanted to know the reason of the interest for Soriano, since it is not known in Brazil, and who had informed the periodical on the presence of them.

Defendant in Porto Alegre for the Phillipino, Jamil Abdo, lawyer of Soriano, explained, for telephone, that the group, at the moment, does not intend to speak with the press because not yet it has real notion of market, language and customs of Brazil.

Land in the North of the investigated Island to host temple

Leader of one of the more popular protestant churches of its native country, Eliseo Soriano is in the city since December of the last year. Already he has company consisting in the country and plans if to establish in definitive in Florianópolis launching its church in Brazil and, from there, all the South America.

Soriano currently looks an area between the Red River and English, in the region North of the Island, to possibly construct its first church. Also already it makes contacts with other countries of Latin America, mainly Uruguay, country where it would be currently, in its first trip to the Exterior since the arrival to Brazil.

Eli Soriano

Eli Soriano, professing his innocence concerning his legal troubles insinuated that the Philippine president Gloria Arroyo and her Justice Secretary are in cohoots to persecute him. He claims that a lower court had already dismissed the rape case against him but that on the orders of the President, the Justice Secretary refiled the case which resulted in the issuance of a warrant of arrest and hold departure against Eli Soriano.

He did this pronouncement on the internet using his video stream. There is a possibility that many people from different countries will stumble into his video stream, hear his disparaging remarks and form a conclusion that the Philippines is a country of criminals.

It should be noted that Mr Eli Soriano has a host of legal troubles waiting for him to return but so far Mr Soriano has refused to face his accusers and elected instead to live in a foreign country and broadcast from there.

The warrant of arrest stemmed from a radio broadcast wherein Mr Soriano cursed muslims and their prophet.

Mr Soriano suspension upheld with finality

The Supreme Court of the Philippines upheld the suspension of “Ang Dating Daan” is its host, Eliseo Soriano because of its use of abusive, vulgar and slanderous statement which are inappropriate for the general audience. Soriano’s demand that the Supreme Court stay out of conflicts between any two group was also rejected citing that any program is subject to regulation “to prevent the clear and present danger of some substantive evil”, referring to Soriano. Here’s part of the full story:

SC upholds suspension of ‘Ang Dating Daan’
By Dona Pazzibugan
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 19:53:00 03/16/2010
MANILA, Philippines—The Supreme Court upheld a three-month suspension imposed on the religious television program, “Ang Dating Daan,” back in 2004 for the use of offensive and obscene language by its evangelist-host Eliseo “Brother Eli” Soriano.

In a full court decision issued on March 15, the high tribunal ruled with finality against Soriano’s motion for reconsideration, affirming its original ruling last April 29, 2009 in favor of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB)’s disciplinary action against Ang Dating Daan.

Voting 11-4, the Supreme Court rejected Soriano’s argument that the suspension imposed by the MTRCB constituted “prior restraint” on the media and that his language during the show’s August 10, 2004 broadcast was not obscene and offensive.

The high court reminded Soriano that “the medium he used to make his statements was a television broadcast which is accessible to children of virtually all ages.”

These cases cannot proceed until the fugitive Eliseo Soriano surrenders and be arraigned. From the looks of it, Eliseo Soriano has no intention of facing these charges and defending himself in a court of law. He’s apparently seeking Brazilian citizenship, this according to Case Unclosed a TV newsmagazine program of the giant television network GMA7, and hosted by the Arnold Clavio.

Case Unclosed by Arnold Clavio

It was 3 years ago when one of his subordinates charged him with homosexual rape and sodomy.

“It was my spiritual birthday. He summoned me and I went thinking he was going to give me a gift. As it turned out, that was the gift. The same thing he did to the previous year.”

This was the revelation of the subordinate, with sadness still reflected in his eyes. One can only imagine the grief victims of rape must carry.

“It was in May of 2000 when he summoned me to his room. I was shocked at what followed. At that time I couldn’t resist his advances. There is a teaching in Ang Dating Daan which says the messenger of God does not commit sin, whatever he does to you. At that time, I was really terrified of him and there is a teaching in Ang Dating Daan that one must Soriano him at all times. Obey him,  otherwise you’ll be cursed. Something really really bad will happen to you if you disobey this supposed messenger of God.

“Rape was the charge. It is true, or is it a case of libel?” continues Clavio. “The case cannot proceed if the accused is not present because the accused needs to be arraigned in court” so say the lawyers of the subordinate. The subordinate thinks that if Soriano was in the Philippines, he will surely be in jail based on the evidences against him.

Clavio said he tried to contact Eli Soriano or any of his representatives to get their side of the story but did not get any response.

“If I don’t fight and speak up a lot of people will be in danger, and they need to know what he really is and that he is not sinless and he is not true.” the subordinate continues.

Soriano is a registered Brazilian resident and is currently seeking Brazilian citizenship. Brazil has no extradition agreement with Brazil. The case is held in court because Eli Soriano will not face his accuser. His next arraignment is August 11, 2009 at 8:30 am.

The Philippines anti-rape law Republic Act No. 8353 describes rape as any forceful act by man or woman against another.

Although Soriano denies any involvement or wrong doing, his appearance is the only way to clear things up.

95th anniversary iglesia ni cristo

resbak.com is 4 months old

I started blogging in December of 2008 mainly to respond to the many blogs of supporters of the fugitive accused homosexual rapist Eliseo Soriano.  There were about 4 or 5 active shills writing for Soriano then and if I remember correctly they call themselves “correspondents”. Almost all of their articles were either shameless propaganda or blatant, criminal libel. The propaganda ranges from an almost god worship praise for whom they call “the most sensible preacher of our time”. The others were libelous materials rehashed from long before I was born. The Iglesia ni Cristo had already debunked these libelous accusations many times over and if one had only bothered to do a little research they wouldn’t have used these materials for there is a penalty for libel. But the fact that some still use these materials even after they were proven false lead me to believe that these writers were bent on doing one thing, and that is to disrespect, disparage and libel the Iglesia ni Crist and it’s leaders. So I wrote a few blog entries basically showing Eliseo Soriano’s true color and the reason he’s in his present predicament, which from the looks of it forced these Soriano supporters to stop their criminal libelous deeds. They still write propaganda though, and I don’t have any problem with that. I’ve been watching them for a while now and they seemed to be keeping to themselves and writing their “god worship” articles about Soriano. I was hoping it’ll stay that way when I came across Ivatan blogger.

The blog of Mr. Er V

The first article I stumbled upon on his blog was his latest back then, and he was questioning the finances of the Iglesia and of all things was about the  fact that the Iglesia ni Cristo has no official website. Even at first I’ve already noticed his obsession with the Iglesia ni Cristo. An so I responded to his blog (you can read my response here) basically stating that he being a die-hard catholic does not have the right to question another religion’s finances while his beloved Catholic Church is on the verge of collapse on the weight of penalties imposed for crimes commited. In his article also was the first time I’ve seen him disrespect the Iglesia ni Cristo by putting a flag resembling the flag of the Iglesia defaced with dollar signs.

I also explained to him that websites are usually used by people to harass, spam and flame the webiste owner and there is really no spiritual benefit from it. I thought the issue was finished and my response will be the last and all of this would not spiral in a blog tit-for-tat. Well I was wrong for as I was browsing his blog I came upon the same lame  libelous material on one of his older post. At first I decided not to dragged into a dirty blog exchange with this blogger but he had a different idea.  He published another post which led me to believe he’s really not  interested in being factual and fair, but rather content at copy/pasting of old articles that had been rehashed many times over. I again responded to his article debunking his claims and proving him wrong. As it turned out, he’s not only lazy in researching for his articles not caring if what he’s writing is true or nor he even has a nasty mouth.

What is libel anyway? and who is doing it?

Back to that libelous material. Libel is a serious matter. As I’ve written on my articles about Eliseo Soriano, saying and writing things that are untrue and with the intention of disparaging another is libel.

Libel, Slander and DefamationLibelous statements, whether against persons or products, are published statements that are false and damaging. Slander is the same as libel in most states, but in spoken rather than written form.

How do you know if you might defame someone or something in what you are about to publish? There are three tests which the defamatory statement must meet in order for a plaintiff to prevail in a suit against you and your publisher:

1. Untrue. In order to be defamatory, the statement must be untrue. If the statement is true or substantially true, then it is not defamatory, and the case is over.

2. Damaging. In order for the plaintiff to prevail, the statement must have caused real and substantial harm to the person or business. The plaintiff must present evidence of the substantial harm done.

3. Knowingly false. The plaintiff must also show that the defendant knew the statement was untrue, but published or broadcast the statement despite that knowledge.

From this brief explanation, you can deduce that the best way to avoid a libel charge, or to defeat it, is to write only that which is true and can be shown to be true through your meticulous research and note taking.

Repeating a libelous statement, or pointing or otherwise linking to a libelous web page may also constitute libel.

It’s no secret that there are many website and blogs out there that contain libelous material that damage the reputation and honor of organizations and people. To me there two kinds of writers, the honorable and the garbage writers. Honorable writers do not libel, or if they did would correct themselves immediately once it is brought to their attention. Garbage writers are just without honor and would not correct their wrongdoing even if they know it is libel. They who are writes libelous material know that what they are doing is wrong and they hide behind nicknames in forums thinking that they’ll remain anonymous forever and would essentially get away with murder. They find protection is being anonymous for after all, how can one be charge with something when no one know who he really is? Ivatan blogger is a garbage writer. I found out that he had been saying unprintable things on a forum for at least 4 years, maybe as long as 7 years. He had rehashed the same garbage that Eliseo Soriano and his group had been spewing 20 years ago. He thought he would get away with murder.

Dumb and dumber

So here is Er, owner of Ivatan blogger from Ivana. In his blog he seems like a nice person.  He portrays an upstanding well mannered catholic goodie boy. He’s so confident he’s doing right he post detailed information about himself, photos included. No one can touch him because he looks like an honorable writer. But he writes differently on web forums. On a web forum where all of the writers hide behind a nickname he was different. He can spew invectives like he was eating rice and fish. He published and republishes libelous content. He writes disparaging remarks against the Iglesia, it’s leaders and it’s members. He though he can hide behind a nickname forever.

“Cowards hide behind anonymity”.

That ended though when I put two and two together. I found out the the “losav” who’s been writing nasty and libelous things on the boards is not other that Ivatan blogger. Now he can’t hide behind his anonymous nick. He can still write, he may even continue to libel but he’s now discovered and 4 or however many years he’s been writing invectives against the Iglesia in now free for everyone to see.

Good work Er. Is that what a teacher, and hororable profession, should be doing?

Beware of impostors

Lately, some unscrupolous impostor is inpersonating me. No worries though, for it wasn’t hard to tell that this person was impersonating me. It also wasn’t hard to see what the impersonator’s intention was:  it was to mislead. People who are not firm on their belief, who fail to defend their practices and who are revealed as cowards usually last out and do things that are less than desirable. After a few post, members of one forum berated the wrongdoers and lectured them on sound debating principles.

In the meantime, losav has yet to post on the same forum still reeling from the embarassment he went through.

Anyway, my point is that Eliseo Soriano is an international fugitive, wanted in the Philippines of the crime of homosexual rape and sodomy. Although all accused persons should be assumed innocent until proven guilty, the very fact of running from the law, and eluding justice gives a regular observer like me a strong feeling that maybe the accused is really guilty. But I digress from the my main point which is, Eliseo Soriano is an international fugitive wanted by the law. Interpol is asking for help from anyone with any information that would lead to his arrest. They are asking anyone with information to contact your local police for information.

Soriano’s group in the Philippines is still active, although not as virulent as before. They still collect money from their hapless followers to support Eliseo Soriano’s semi-permanent vacation overseas, living in a nice house and touring the world while his followers, most belonging to poor families, continue to struggle in this difficult time. Soriano’s group know where he his but would not help the police to locate him. Isn’t that continued harboring of a fugitive? I don’t know if there is a Philippine law concerning this, but in the U.S., this could get you in jail.

A few other people would probably know where he is. Soriano posted their names and telephone number on his youtube site.

Here are the names and numbers of the people who may know where Eliseo Soriano is and should inform the local police of his whereabouts. I wonder what would happen if I send this page to the police in all the countries listed below?

Guilty!

No, not yet anyway. It’s just such a catchy title that I couldn’t resist.
But I am wondering. If ever Eliseo Soriano, founder, former presiding minister and former leader of the cult Ang Dating Daan – MCGI would ever decide to surrender or get caught and extradited back to the Philippines, would he be found guilty or would he be exonerated?

For now, nobody knows. Until and unless the wheels of justice are allowed to turn no one will ever know the outcome. If it’s true that Soriano left the Philippines sometime in 2005 then he had been on the run for almost 4 years now.

WANTED: Soriano Eliseo

Of the 18 male fugitives of Philippine nationality on the Interpol Wanted list, only two are accused of sex crimes. Both of them are supposed to be preachers of God’s word. One is a catholic priest and the other is Eliseo Fernando Soriano. The priest is accused of raping a 14 year old girl, a member of his parish. Soriano is accused of raping a male subordinate. Any accused person should be considered innocent until proven guilty. The law requires the accused to face his accuser in a court of law and there prove his accuser wrong.

The rape accusation is not the only legal problem facing Soriano should he decide to come back to the Philippines. There are also a few libel cases filed against him by the Iglesia ni Cristo and also by the Muslims. The one filed by the Muslims stemmed from  some unsavory remarks made by Eliseo Soriano against Muslims and their prophet. This was broadcasted in one of his daily talk shows where he regularly spew diatribe against regular people, politicians and other religious organizations. And get this, he does his daily sermons via CD-rom. So there is a chance that Muslims have a copy of this episode.

Muslims protest Soriano

Anyway, the lawsuit by the Muslims calls for PHP1 billion in damages. That’s a lot of money! And because he hasn’t been in the Philippines for quite a while I’m pretty sure his resources are on the lean side. You see, Soriano get his money from his members and his many businesses one of which is selling cooked food which he says he prepares himself. Without him, I guess no one will prepare and sell the food.

The Muslims claim in their lawsuit that Soriano “uttered malicious sweeping … imputation of crimes … against them(Muslims)” which they say “exposed them to dishonor, disgrace, shame…”. Soriano,  as is the case in all of his legal troubles, denies he did what he’s accused of. But do the Muslims have a case? Can they show proof that indeed Soriano maligned them and their prophet? Well, you be the judge. Here’s Eliseo Soriano and what he said about Muslims. I got his off of youtube and cut the other stuff to leave just the part where he calls Muslims killers and then proceeded to malign even their prophet.

Here’s the transcript translated in english:

Soriano: “That’s what Muslims do. I’m not saying this because I’m crazy and I have a death wish because they indeed kill.”

Soriano: “You encounter a Muslim, they’ll criticize the bible. They say the bible is wrong. I say, they’re crazy. I tell them ‘well if the bible is wrong then why are you using it to justify Mohammad’s prophecy?’ They say the one mention in Deuteronomy 1*:18-19 is Mohammad and then they turn and criticize the bible. They criticize the bible and then use it to justifies Mohammad’s prophecy then you’re crazy, even Mohammad is crazy”.

As you can see, Soriano does not have even an iota of respect for leaders of other religions and regularly maligns them. You probably seen and heard how he libels leaders of the Iglesia ni Cristo.

There you go. I think the Muslims have enough evidence. One billion pesos is a lot of money. Soriano will be very hard pressed to produce this amount. As usual, Eliseo Soriano swears to high heaven saying the original of this tape was doctored and fabricated. He thought this would be enough. But then comes an expert in voice recognition who challenged him to submit to tests that would prove either the voice was from someone else, or is it really Soriano’s. Typical of Soriano, he maligns the expert and questioned his intention. Anyone who is not guilty will welcome the chance to prove his accusers  wrong. Not Eli.

Big mouth

It’s looking really grim for Soriano. I personally don’t think he’ll ever go back to the Philippines. Like what I’ve said in a previous blog, Soriano’s end is here and now. The instrument he used to become popular, his big mouth, is the same instrument that brought him crashing down. Goodbye Eli, and good night.

Ask the fugitive

Eli Soriano, the fugitive televangelist wanted by the Interpol fashions himself as a great biblical resource. He even allows himself to be called “Pantas” or wise man. Lofty, isn’t it? He sports many monikers such as “the most sensible preacher of our times”, “phenomenal preacher”, “Walking bible”, “Modern Jeremiah”, “the appointed one”, “he who holds the key”, and others. He even stole my handle, truthcaster.  Other terms he uses to describe himself are “tech savvy” and “human encyclopedia”.

Ask the fugitive

But is he really all that? I looked into a few of his pronouncements and found a lot of weird stuff. Let’s together see if this man they call “wise man” make sense at all. Let’s take a look at just three things for now.

1. Sepoys of Cainta, Rizal:

In one episode of his Philippine talk show, he was asked why some people in Cainta, Rizal, Philippines where considerably darker than others.

Not even pausing to ponder the question, he said the reason was that the sun beats extra hot in Cainta, Rizal. Yup, that’s what he said. He said this bit with full authority as if he knew what he was talking about.  He made it sound that, as a matter of fact, the sun is just hotter in Cainta, Rizal. He didn’t explain why this is so. There maybe a few reasons why the sun would beat extra harder or hotter in a certain spot, but would this make someone darker permanently? I can see some people may get a tan but to permanently change the color of the skin, and then pass this on to their children sounds a little over-reaching.

The Iglesia ni Cristo religious program Ang Tamang Daan, obviously and rightfully, not wanting this bad information to be taken as fact immediately responded with a correction and a lesson to impart an important historical detail. The reason why some people of Cainta, Rizal of considerably darker is because they are descendants of Sepoys who elected to remain in the Philippines. The Sepoys where Indians who served in the British army.

Way to go “wise man”. One strike for you.

Ask the fugitive

2. Roman 13:13

Again in an episode of his talkshow, supposedly televangelizing. A listener ask him to explain Roman 13:13. The conversation was in Tagalog and the verse as written in tagalog goes like this: “Magsilakad tayong mahinhin, gaya ng sa araw;”.This is the  verse in English: “Let us behave properly as in the day“. And

In tagalog “araw” can mean the “sun“, or “day“. Guess which one “Mr Walking Bible” picked as the meaning of “araw” for this particular verse? The wrong one of course. The way he explained it made it even more hilarious. He said, the verse instruct people to walk gracefully, just as the sun glides gracefully across the sky from morning to night. If he had only truly understood the verse, or at least read the verse in English he could have saved him a lot of embarrassment.

Way to go “Walking bible”. two strikes.

Disqualified Soriano campaigning

3. In another episode, Soriano tells his members they can run for public office. Then he Soriano said :”But I will not join politics. I will not run as a candidate (for office). Why? Imagine, a preacher running for public office? Can one serve two lords? Christ didn’t allow that.”

Then he turns and run anyway and was disqualified as a nuisance candidate. He should add this to his monikers, “nuisanse”.

Thumbs down

3 strikes. You’re out! and out you should go.

There you go. Just two of the many “wisdom” from the “phenomenal preacher”. Doesn’t he give new meaning to the phrase ‘false preachers’?
