What exactly happened to the Yanson Family and what is the TRUTH to the many lies surrounding the Yanson Family and their ties with the Menorca Family.
As another sign of DESPERATION, the Iglesia Ni Cristo bandwagon of expert lawyers from the top-notch law firms in the land, devised a way to harass the Menorca Family by inviting (Translation: Them not coming is equivalent to Expulsion) the whole Family of Abegail and Ronald Yanson, PLUS the whole Family of Melissa Yanson (the wife of Ronald Yanson). Then they came up with the SUPER GENIUS PLAN of filing charges against the Menorca Family for allegedly kidnapping and detaining their daughter (Abegail Yanson).
To further this PLAN, Bro. Candido “Bobong” Yanson (Head Deacon) with wife Conchita “Rosie” Yanson (Deaconese) along with their 3 other children Rocel Yanson (Locale Secretariat), Robert Yanson (Organist and PNK Teacher), Wendell Yanson (working in Bulan, Sorsogon) and Lovely Yanson (working in Alabang). They were all gathered for one purpose and one purpose only, to stand against the Menorca Family.
As early as October 25, according to the affidavit of Ronald Yanson, his family have been trying to get a hold of them. They told Robert that they were in Legazpi to attend the Felix Manalo movie, which they later found out was only a decoy, since they were already being flown to Central, all expenses paid courtesy of the Church Administration Sanggunian.
The Yanson Family, is a Family of “Maytungkulin” (Church Officers) in the small locale of Butag, in Bulan, Sorsogon. The same locale where Bro. Lowell Menorca II was assigned in the latter part of 2014. The same locale, from being the bottom-listed locale in the whole District, only after a few months, miraculously became the MOST ACTIVE locale in the whole District. Interviewed by INCTV for having the most number of NEW OFFICERS sworn into office before the end of 2014. With a locale population of 105 members, they were able to generate 98 new sworn officers in the locale, thereby activating the whole locale and its members. It was also the only locale in the whole District with a staggering record of having a weekly average percentage of more than 100% participation for Tanging Handugan, Lingap and Lagak sa Pasalamat. A record never achieved in any locale in the District before, until now. This is the same Success Track record of Bro. Lowell Menorca II from his previous locales.
So with such a close happy relationship with not only the Church Officers, but also from all the brethren there in Butag, why do you think, all of a sudden, the pioneer Family of Butag would come forward and speak EVIL about the Menorca Family. The words coming out of their mouths would send shivers down our spine for these are not the words you would expect from a Family of the Yanson. The answer is simple: COERCION. In the own words of Abegail Yanson, “Hindi ito ang pamilyang kilala ko, hindi nila kayang magsinungaling ng ganyan, lalo na tungkol sa mag-asawa, mahal na mahal nila sila Ka Lowell and mahal na mahal din kami ng Ka Lowell. Hindi ko alam, kung bakit nila nagagawa yan.” (This is not the family I’ve known, they wouldn’t lie like that, especially about the couple. They love Bro. Lowell’s Family and they love our family as well. I don’t know why they are doing this.” Since the Yanson is a Family of Church Officers, they are afraid to lose their divine Duties, so when they are suddenly invited to the District Office and never to return to their homes that day, they had no choice but to follow. They had to follow everything that was “asked” of them, if not, well you know what will happen. So they went thru the same drill as the Menorca Family when they were “taken” into “protective custody” of the Church Administration. They were given residence to stay in, food and clothing and ofcourse, SECURITY GUARDS. But unlike the Menorcas, they were given brand new cellphones and were allowed to go to the malls. They were also taken to the Philippine Arena, BUT also with heavy GUARDS. Then they were “briefed” on what the “real” (their version) situation and what is expected of them. Thus, the series of events that transpired is a product of the “BRIEFING” given to their Family. But if you were to pay close attention to their faces during the dubiously orchestrated “press conference” of the Yanson Family courtesy of NET 25 (the most TRUSTED name in broadcasting according to them), you would see the guilt and distress in their faces and their voices. If you were to pay close attention to the facial expression of the father, Ka Bobong, watch how his lips tremble even with the simplest words he utters, ask any psychologist and they would all concur that this Family is indeed also UNDER DURESS. Whether they believe the lies that was fed to them or not, they all knew that they have no other choice but to follow the instructions of their handlers. In the video, Abegail will also explain, aside from the fear of demotion or expulsion, what other “convincing” tactics the handlers applied on the family, watch out for the wonderful “rewards” that come with “obedience” to the will of the handlers.
That is why during the court hearing last November 3, 2015 at the Court of Appeals, during recess, there was a commotion that ensued. It was when the mother, Sister Rosie, all of a sudden dashed towards the Menorca camp as they were about to leave the court room. She made a scandal shouting, “Anak ko! Anak ko! Yakapin ko lang ang anak ko!” (My daughter! My daughter! I just want to embrace my daughter!) and tried to grab her by the hand, but the Court of Appeals SECURITY (not the lawyers nor the Menorcas) shielded Abegail Yanson and tried to stop the mother from pulling her. Let’s allow Sister Abegail to tell us what happened.
And after that fiasco, we waited for the fat lady to sing. And boy did she sing. The INC Lawyers HAD THE AUDACITY AND THE NERVE TO SAY THAT THE MOTHER ONLY WANTED TO HUG HER CHILD (plea to emotion. Oppsss… didn’t work). They denied that there was a woman who tried to snatch Abegail, while in fact it was Abegail who testified that there was indeed an unidentified woman which was apprehended by the Court of Appeals Security. This audio recording (courtesy of an anonymous DEFENDER onsite) will further prove that the mother caused the commotion, and that there was another instance that the SECURITY warned an unidentified person because she was trying to snatch Abegail away. Upon being apprehended, the unidentified person was identified as Col. Emma Libunao of the CIDG (a zealous member of the Iglesia Ni Cristo proving that an Iglesia Ni Cristo member is willing to break the law or even destroy one’s career, just for the church). This also proves that the accusation of her family members during the media interviews that followed after, that she (Abegail) was pleading for help and asking them to rescue her was a COMPLETE LIE, because up until the point when the Menorca camp was going down the stairs, Abegail wasn’t able to speak at all due to the shock she got from the commotion that her family caused. This lie, which is was stated by her family members as concocted by the INC Lawyers, is a perjury and is punishable by law.
Hear the actual soundbite for yourself:
But it did not end with that. The INC Lawyers’ continued with their plan to file kidnapping and illegal detention charges against the Menorcas for allegedly holding their daughter against her will. Then they also accused the Menorca Family for also kidnapping and detaining their son, Ronald Yanson and his wife Melissa.
Although the Yanson couple did their best to remain silent because they were also afraid to be expelled (the only FEAR factor in any brethren’s case), but when they were informed by their friend who contacted them thru cellphone that the WHOLE FAMILY of Melissa (in Bulan Sorsogon) were also TAKEN to Manila, for ONE reason: TO USE THE DAUGHTER OF MELISSA AND RONALD, ANGEL (4 yrs. old, DISABLED and SICKLY) AS A BARGAINING CHIP TO CONVINCE THE COUPLE TO GO AGAINST THE MENORCA FAMILY. That’s when the couple broke their silence and stood up for the truth, and this is what they had to say:
But this did not stop the INC lawyers from using the whole Yanson Family, totally disregarding the value of TRUTH and the INTEGRITY of their TESTIMONY, because they are that cocky, knowing that they (the lawyers) would not be the ones charged with PERJURY with all the lies they had them say.
Then came the Court Hearing for the charges filed against the Menorca couple as respondents for the kidnapping and illegal detention case. To Abegail and Ronald Yanson’s surprise, their whole clan was there. Melissa’s parents (from Bulan Sorsogon) was there along with Melissa’s younger brother and her older sister who was working in Bulacan, even their family friend and locale organist, Alexis Aquino (working in Batangas), who would have been a credible witness to Sister Jingky Menorca since he actually volunteered to join Sister Jingky Menorca in their attempt to escape from the District Ministers and the QCPD Police Officers who were trying to take her. Alexis Aquino was also inside the vehicle with Sister Jingky, along with Abegail and Rocel Yanson. Now you know why it was crucial that the INC camp get a hold of Alexis Aquino (actual witness) and Rocel Yanson, who already denied everything and actually spoke very ill of the Menorca couple. VERY PREDICTABLE MOVE BY THE INC LAWYERS. That is why the whole INC camp is so die-hard pressed on getting Abegail and Ronald Yanson on their side to ensure that they can tie all the loose ends and COMPLETE THE COVER UP. Unfortunately, not all God’s children can be bribed or coerced.
This is the Yanson siblings’ account of what happened during the court hearing last Nov. 13, Friday at the Manila Regional Trial Court. Watch and take note of the revelation of the TRUTH and compare it to the LIES that the INC lawyers are now spreading all over the media.
and who was that TV STATION that exclusively covered the hearing?
No wonder there is a scarcity of TRUE JOURNALISM. Now, it is up to you to weigh everything. The only heartbreaking part of this story is the fact that the INC Administration is destroying families by forcing one to tell lies against the other. For the INC Administration Lawyers, THE LIE IS THE NEW TRUTH and who ever stands or profess the TRUTH ARE THE ONES TO BE EXPELLED. How ironic is that? Nowadays, when a brethren asks a question, seeks the answers, or tells the TRUTH, there is a 100% probability that he will be expelled. And those who CAN PROVE that they are willing to LIE in court for the CHURCH or even BREAK the LAW and deny the TRUTH, are those who are now considered worthy of adoration and salvation. This remaining Yanson Family is a living witness to the atrocities of the current church procedures and they are willing to risk their lives in order to reveal the TRUTH so that JUSTICE may be served. This is not a matter of doctrine or personal grudges. This is a matter of distinguishing what is the TRUTH from the LIES, and whether or not you have THE CONVICTION TO STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT.
I hope this will put a stop to all the smear campaign and expensive media propaganda that the Church Leaders are employing for the sake of their GRAND COVER UP. No matter what the newspaper or Television news say, THE TRUTH WILL ALWAYS BE THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT.

The dedication of the Yanson Family. Accompanying Ka Lowell going to Bible Study in Brgy. Lipata (1 hour boat ride) in a boat that Ka Lowell selflessly bought with their own money, to be used by the locale. I guess you would know how above-average thinking people came to understand why it is just utterly RIDICULOUS and ILLOGICAL, their accusations and lies saying that Ka Lowell Menorca used the locale funds to buy a FREEZER??? (The boat is still there in the locale being used by the officers)

Surprise Birthday party for Abegail by Ka Lowell and Ka Jingky Menorca in the Yanson residence. According to Abegail, it was actually the first time that a Resident Minister visited them and gave a prayer for them during a birthday.

***NOTE: As of to this writing, Ronald and Melissa Yanson informed me thru a phone call that Melissa’s mother informed her that their daughter Angel is in the hospital (New Era General Hospital where else) and is sick and they are blaming Melissa and Ronald for their daughter’s sickness because of their conviction towards helping the Menorca Family. Melissa’s family continue to pursue them to come to them so that their child will be well and that they can be a family again. Unfortunately Ronald and Melissa knows better than to fall for ploys like these, coming from the same Church Leaders who forced their family to LIE. One example is when asked by Melissa about how they got to Central, her Mother said that they went to Central on their own, all four of them, and that nobody forced them or was with them. But knowing how financially constraint they were, Melissa reminded her mother not to lie, especially since it was also her mother who informed her, that their house was already surrounded by church leadership officers (Pamunuan ng Lokal) from their locale (J.P. Laurel, Sorsogon) and that there were two District Ministers there, one was a person they know, Brother Nacel Gonzales (picture below)
and the other one they did not know. And their friend from Bulan said that their family was taken to Manila by plane (again all expenses paid by…guess who?) So now they are denying that these events happened after they were “BRIEFED”.
Anyway, one thing we should realize about telling LIES… it’s a quicksand that will surely and eventually swallow you alive. Web of lies, no matter how intricate and beautifully spun, do not make up a TRUTH, it only shows that there are ACTUALLY spiders spinning these webs. Guess who they are? Your guess is as good as mine.
