I hope sooner or later, the Sanggunian, or even their opinionated alter-ego
(www.theiglesianicristo.blogspot.com) will have an answer regarding the unexplained ability of the Sanggunian members to own high-end vehicles.
For example, Ka Radel G. Cortez’ Php 3.8Million Bought-Brand New White Toyota Prado Ref. https://incsilentnomore.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/lifestyle-check-the-devil-wears-pradaeste-prado-pala/
Or Ka Eraño “Erdz” Codera’s Php 2.5 Million Bought-Brand New Titanium Silver Hyundai Sta. Fe https://incsilentnomore.wordpress.com/2015/07/31/featuring-ka-erano-erdz-coderas-hyundai-titanium-silver-sta-fe/
And these are all with documentary proof of their ownership, which the brethren can easily verify with LTO (Land Transportation Office). That’s probably why the Sanggunian is silent about it, simply because they cannot answer it without revealing the truth…. THAT IT IS ACTUALLY TRUE. But I still invite http://www.theiglesianicristo.blogspot.com (http://www.theiglesianicristo.blogspot.com) to provide counter evidence to disprove this, and when I say counter-evidence, it doesn’t mean copying andpasting my article and inserting beating-around-the-bush-opinions without an inkling of a proof, which pretty much describes their style of writing.
Yet, some members of the Sanggunian are more clever than others. This particular Sanggunian member doesn’t register his high‑end vehicles under his own name, or at least not all of his cars; that’s what close‑associates (dummies) are for. He has a knack for acquiring the latest and grandest vehicles. Most of the time, he will buy a vehicle with a valid deed of sale, BUT the change of ownership will not yet be registered so the LTO registration will not reflect him as the new owner. This technique is also used if the property (a high-end vehicle, in this case) is given to the Sanggunian as a “gift” for a favor (a project referral or a successfully acquired government project), but for security reasons, the registration will remain with the previous owner or original buyer. This is their favorite “absolute deniability” excuse.
By now, we can all see a similarity between politicians and Sanggunian Ministers in terms of corruption practices or THE ART OF GETTING AWAY WITH CORRUPTION. They are so masterful with the science of legally and technically hiding traces, links, paper trails, and other evidences, that even if the politicians are bombarded with evidences of their corruption, they can easily say on nationwide television interviews, without batting an eye, that THEIR ACCUSERS DO NOT HAVE ANY PROOF, THAT THESE ARE ALL MERE ALLEGATIONS AND SMEAR CAMPAIGN. Sounds familiar, right? https://soundcloud.com/antonio‑ebangelista/bro‑glicerio‑bsantos‑jrs‑battle‑cry
Who, among the brethren, does not know the Sanggunian member whose flair for high-end vehicles is widely known. Among all the Sanggunian, this Sanggunian member, whose initials are almost the same as mine, has the most unquenchable thirst for high‑end vehicles. One would see him sporting a new high‑end Land Cruiser, or a BMW to name a few, that his garage is actually filled with his cars. Let’s look at his flavor‑of‑the‑month ride: A brand new BMW 3 Series:
This was taken secretly at Blk.1 Unit 1, INC Tierra Bella Executive Compound, #200 Tandang Sora Avenue, Quezon City, home to some of the notorious Sanggunian Ministers, particularly our beloved BMW/LandCruiser‑Frequently‑Travelling‑Sanggunian member. This is owned, wait, let me be more technically correct for Mr. Blogspot’s sake, owned‑but‑not-registered‑in‑his‑name, by none other than Bro. Rolando A. Esguerra, more fondly known as “Tata Roland” or R.A.E. for short (I don’t mean his height). He is usually sent to different Districts as head of the Edification Office, to handle cases or officiate special gatherings or events. He usually travels with his Bought‑Brand New Black Land Cruiser or his BMW (which one depends on his mood or destination), escorted usually by a black Toyota Fortuner (among others) with his staff and “armed” bodyguards (some of whom are active police officers). Ministers and brethren who witness this every time he visits them at their district can attest to these facts, they need no further convincing.
So to whom is this Bought‑Brand New BMW 3 series blue rider, which is parked every day at Bro. Rolando A. Esguerra’s residence, and frequently used for his official and unofficial travels, registered? Let’s ask another AE from the LTO Main Office to provide us the database record for plate Number WOW‑809:
Registered as the original buyer/owner: JESSIE L. MENDOZA. Feel free to ask him any further questions regarding this BMW which Ka RAE has been using but is still registered under his (Jessie’s) name.
What does this car look like? Let’s go to the website of TOP GEAR
PHILIPPINES which featured this car last May 11, 2012 when it was launched in the Philippines. Now look at the LTO Registration record again and notice the date of sale on R.A.E.’s BMW of October 24, 2012. You can practically smell the fresh interiors of this car back then.

Now ain’t this ride a dream‑come‑true to a lot of high‑end‑car lovers out there? While some of you are still drooling over this car, Tata Roland has been riding this already. Please take note that this BMW 3 Series has a Php 3.490 Million price tag. And driving this fuel‑guzzler on the road requires quite a hefty fuel expense that no ordinary Minister, or any average person can afford unless one is a member of the Sanggunian or circle of millionaires in the country.
Again, for any of those itching to disprove this article (especially our No.1 fan, Mr. Blogspot himself) by saying there is no proof, but there is, saying that it is NOT AUTHENTIC, then PROVE that it is not authentic rather than just ranting like a little boy who just discovered that boys are not supposed to play with Barbie dolls. SHOW PROOF. Put your money where your mouth is.
Ask your bosses, since they are way up there in the Sanggunian, they have all the records you need Mr. Blogspotter, ask them to show you, to show us, show us their bank account statements as proof of their innocence and thrust for TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY. Show us their receipts, show us their records, allow them to prove to everybody, to every single poverty-stricken, hardworking, faithful INC member that these Sanggunian Ministers are all living WITHIN THE NORMAL AND MODEST WAY OF LIVING EXPECTED FROM EVERY TRUE MINISTER, ESPECIALLY FROM THOSE BESTOWED WITH HIGHER TRUST AND RESPONSIBILITY INSIDE THE CHURCH.
With all honesty, please prove that I am mistaken, and I will gladly accept my mistake, prove that these documents are fabricated or mere lies, otherwise, the Sanggunian can and will continue being silent because it suits them. To those of you who think that I am only trying to cause division in the Church, that I am against the Executive Minister, that I am only spreading hearsay, that this is influenced by “people behind Antonio Ebangelista”, that this is but a smear campaign against the Church, please think again. Read all my articles from start to finish and you will know in your heart that what I say is true, my intent is only to expose the corruption that the Sanggunian has been trying to hide, so that we may be able to stop the spread of corruption that is blemishing our beloved Church of Christ. I am not forcing anyone
to believe what I say on this website. I believe that the readers are educated enough and spiritually mature to comprehend the gravity of our situation today.
While the Sanggunian continues to sell Church properties left and right, they brag about how we continue to buy properties here and abroad, even buying a mysterious ghost town in South Dakota! To simply sell a property we no longer have use for is understandable, but to sell them like a hot pandesal is symptomatic of an unexplained NEED to LIQUIDATE ASSETS for UNKNOWN FINANCIAL REASON. The RAMPANT selling of properties has never happened in the history of our beloved Church. The changing of the norms inside the church, coupled by news of the Church entering into highly questionable joint venture agreements of the Church for profit, as well as the luxurious lifestyle and properties of ministers in the Sangguinan, are all very disturbing.
Ministers should serve as a ROLE MODEL to the brethren, they should reflect the humility of the holy ministry, but unfortunately our Sanggunian ministers are the first to disregard proper conduct and simple way of life expected from our ministers. So what moral and spiritual credibility does a Sanggunian minister have when he preaches at the pulpit and advise the brethren regarding poverty and hardships when we all know that this is only “drama” for them as they deliver their speech for they are the first who do not practice what they preach? Does it mean that they should be fanatics and voluntarily embrace poverty and walk, instead of drive, to their Suguan just to prove something? No. But ministers are taught even from the beginning that we should not be extravagant, we should not yearn for worldly luxuries. These are but a few of the ministerial ethics that every minister should live and abide by, but unfortunately it seems that the Sanggunian and their minister‑cohorts are EXEMPTED from these.
I call on the older ministers, witnesses to the unquestionable integrity of the Ministry during the time now long forgotten. I call on the Leadership and the mentors in the College of Evangelical Ministry who molded the ministers of today and continue to mold the ministers of tomorrow. PLEASE TEACH OUR MINISTERIAL STUDENTS HONOR AND INTEGRITY. HONE THEM TO BECOME TRUE MINISTERS, ministers who will not be lured into worldly temptations, or lust for power and money. Turn them into ministers who will not use their time and energy on finding ways to amass wealth and worldly possessions and then hide all traces of evidences of their loot. We need TRUE MINISTERS and NOT INSTANT MINISTERS who are not yet fully grown intellectually, doctrinally and spiritually.
To the TRUE MINISTERS out there who might still be silently reading and waiting for the most opportune time to defend the integrity of the Church, please continue to pray for the safety of our beloved Executive Minister, Bro. Eduardo V. Manalo as he is surrounded by treacherous wolves who will stop at nothing to safeguard their investments and gains from the Church for as long as they are seated firmly on their posts as members of Sanggunian or cohorts. We need to protect our Executive Minister, the sanctity of the Ministry, the brethren and the Church from the contagious gangrene of corruption that is currently plaguing the Church. The cure is not to hide and disregard it, especially if the symptoms are already widespread and evident, it needs to be EXPOSED and EXTRACTED so as not to cause any further damage. It is too late for a BAND AID approach to the problem.
In this time and age, when information and verification of information abound, IGNORANCE IS A CHOICE. But when the future of the Church is at stake, IGNORANCE IS A CRIME AGAINST GOD, because if one is ignorant of++ the TRUTH, when one is oblivious to the corruption happening inside the Church, then he will be easily led to believe that everything is alright until the time comes when all hell shall break loose and then it will be too late. Simply because a person chooses to be ignorant to the facts, to the evidences, to the glaring proofs, only to believe the baseless opinions of a few twisted minds commissioned by the Sanggunian to answer in their behalf via social media. They don’t even give a real answer, or present evidence to counter the evidences presented in this blog. Their responses sound more like excuses, their feeble attempt to explain the unexplained, simply because this time,
THE TRUTH CANNOT BE REFUTED.
Because the Sanggunian cannot HIDE IT ANYMORE, they RESORT TO THREATENING THE BRETHREN OF EXPULSION ONCE THEY START TO READ MY WRITINGS AND EXPOSÉS, ASK QUESTIONS, LIKE OR COMMENT ON MY POSTS, OR SHARE MY ARTICLES or do anything that might require them to answer questions they don’t want asked. Instead of expressing compassion and guiding the brethren, the Sanggunian chose to instill fear in their hearts. They dispatch their “trusted” District Minister to go to the Locales and talk to these brethren and coerce them into writing a salaysay (statement) to indicate that they will continue to abide by the Administration. This leads to more confusion on the part of the brethren who weren’t really going against the Executive Minister, who wouldn’t even think to inflict damage to the Church. These brethren were merely seeking the TRUTH, which unfortunately is automatically interpreted as going against the Executive Minister. Thus, “express expulsions” abound to serve as a fearful reminder that it is a sin to go to social media, read blogs, believe evidences, and share concerns. Safeguarding one’s membership in the Church has, therefore, become synonymous with staying ignorant, denying everything one sees and feels, staying dumb, staying numb, and STAYING SILENT.
This is the only time in the history of the Iglesia Ni Cristo when the Sanggunian has become a NOTORIOUS SYNDICATE. But if we love our Executive Minister, if we have a genuine concern for the Church, if we value our salvation, then LET US FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHT TO KNOW THE TRUTH AND STAND FOR THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT PERSECUTION WE MIGHT FACE, NO MATTER WHAT THREATS THEY THROW AT US. THIS IS THE GREATEST TEST OF OUR FAITH. THIS IS THE GREATEST TEST OF THE CHURCH. THIS IS THE UNSTOPPABLE CLEANSING PROCESS IN ORDER TO SEPARATE THOSE WHO ARE WORTHY FROM THOSE WHO ARE UNWORTHY OF SALVATION.
Where will you be when that TIME comes?

“Unlike you, I don’t have power or money, but what I do have is a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you tell the truth now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will expose you.” – AE
