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.

[ad#Google Adsense - 250x250 box] 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.

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.

Eliseo Soriano: Case Unclosed!

truthcaster — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:58:09 +0000

[ad#inline-ad-in-article]

Case Unclosed by Arnold Clavio

“Bro Eli Soriano. Currently in the middle of a controversy”. So was the introduction of Arnold Clavio in his program Case Unclosed. He was talking about the fugitive televangelist Eliseo Soriano of Ang Dating Daan.

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.

A cult full of lawbreakers?

truthcaster — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 07:04:47 +0000

Eliseo Soriano, the former leader of the cult “Ang Dating Daan” is supposedly set to hold a TV broadcast sometime in March of this year. According to his youtube channel, he will hold a “Worldwide Mass Indoctrination” on March 30, 2009. Funny things is that he only listed 4 countries to call for information.

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?

Accused Eliseo Soriano: Guilty?

truthcaster — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:10:26 +0000

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.

Iglesia ni Cristo celebrates 40 years in Guam

truthcaster — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 22:43:28 +0000

The Philippines based Iglesia ni Cristo celebrates 40 of existence in the tiny island of Guam. The Iglesia ni Cristo is Christian religious organization independent of Catholic or Protestant churches. Established in the Philippines in 1914, the Iglesia ni Cristo is now in more than 90 countries, it’s members belonging to 102 nationalities.

This week, the Church of Christ will celebrate the 40th year of its March 17, 1969, registration as a religious entity on Guam.

The church’s presence on Guam for four decades reflects how the face of the local community has evolved, according to some of its members.

“Our membership comes from all walks of life,” said Frank G. Santos, head deacon of the Church of Christ in Harmon. He joined the church in the 1960s and regards himself the first Chamorro to have joined the church.

Santos said he decided to join the church after realizing that its teachings are all based strictly on teachings from the Holy Bible.

“We do not do anything here in this church that is contrary to the teachings and the doctrines of the Holy Bible,” said Santos, a harbor master at the Guam commercial port. He’s been harbor master for about 33 years after having retired from the U.S. Navy.

Ask Bro. Eli! The “most sensible preacher” does not make sense

truthcaster — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:25:47 +0000

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’?

Adapted from an episode of the Iglesia ni Cristo television program “Ang Tamang Daan”.

Eli Soriano babysitting

It’s been quiet for a few days now. Those friends of mine Eli Soriano fanatics who’ve been writing nasty editorials and passing them as news. The likes of Abao and Garcia and their fellow fanatic cult followers. But I still have a slight problem. They haven’t taken down those post and blog entries. And a few others, like Joseph Herdon started taking their place and writing on their blogs. I really want this to stop that’s why I’ve been holding off publishing a few articles.

You see, the fugitive accused rapist same-sex sodomizer Eli Soriano built his career by libeling and maligning innocent people. His modus operandi is to rouse mob mentality and ignore reason and then follow it up with his racketeering to raise money to support his dirty deeds. Well, that’s all about to stop because he himself has taken away his primary stage, which is the podium. He allegedly committed rape, now he’s wanted by the law. He can’t fight this in court because he knows he’ll lose and that would bring the immediate demise of his career. So he opted to be a fugitive, and be a simple blogger where at least he can still write and milk money from the few gullible followers he still has. But his end is almost certain. He can’t do this for a long time. The long arms of the law will catch up with him.

Eli Soriano comtemplating his predicament

His sidekick Daniel Razon knows where Soriano is, as well as all of the MICs and of course Jane Abao and her troop of writers/libelers. I also have pictures of some of his followers dated sometime in 2007 with their fugitive leader. If they continue to help him hide and not tell the police where he is, this makes them guilty of harboring a known fugitive. Truly a cult full of criminals.

I hope they stop libeling and maligning so I too can stop and concentrate on what I really wanted to do. All I wanted from the start to for them to stop their libel and remove all libelous post. If they don’t, we keep going. See you losers at the finish line. Eat my dust suckas.
