Presidential bets Noynoy and Villar are both no shows at the recently concluded Presidential forum at The Kingdom of Pastor Quibuloy in Davao City.
Pastor Quibuloy’s message to the two: “Commitment is your word of honor. When you fail to fulfill your commitment, you have no word and you have no honor”.

It has been noted by many, including his supporters in the Liberal Party that Aquino is prone to falling ill and cannot cope with the rigors of a presidential campaign due to his health problems.

Today, Feb 9, 2010 - 5AM. Bangon Pilipinas Party, led by Bro Eddie Villanueva, officially kicked off their campaign today at the Luneta Grounds. Thousands and thousands (figure still to be estimated) of supporters ranging from Christians, Baptists, Muslims and several other Sectarian and non-sectarian religious groups joined the rally to officially launch Bro Eddie’s and his seven senatoriables’ campaign.

It’s amazing to see different religious groups joined together to unanimously support a common Political Party and cause, which for so many years since I was born, has never happened. Bro Eddie has captured the hearts of Leftists, Rightists, Christians and Muslims, where other candidates have failed to do before. This is truly a historic occasion for our country the Philippines, to once again experience becoming a united and undivided nation of Christians and Muslims.

Perhaps the most amazing part of this official campaign kick off was the unfurling of the World’s Largest Philippine flag measuring 16560 sqm and weighing 3.8 tons. This is a lot smaller than the World’s 2nd largest flag (Philippine flag at 18,818 sqm) which was unfurled in Israel last December 23, 2007 to commemorate Israel’s 60th year.

Below are images of the actual unfurling of the Philippine flag in Luneta Grandstand, Philippines.

“Only Bro. Eddie Villanueva can bring about changes in the conflict-ridden Bangsamoro,” prominent Muslim leaders said today as they unanimously declared support to Bro. Eddie, presidential candidate of Bangon Pilipinas.

Dr. Zafrullah Alonto, Bangon Pilipinas senatorial candidate who represents Muslim Mindanao in the slate, rallied the Amanah Coalition to publicly declare support to Bro. Eddie.

Amanah Coalition is one of Mindanao’s most influential multi-sectoral groups which has memberships from the Lumadnons in Mindanao, Maguindanao, Sulu and Palawan.

Alonto himself belongs to the Alonto clan who has deep ties with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). He brings with him MILF support to Bangon Pilipinas.

“We came out with a consensus that Bro. Eddie Villanueva, being a man of God, can bring the much-needed moral fiber in our decadent society and government and is the right person who is capable of putting the nation back to its erstwhile but lost reputation and glory which we, the Filipino people, have been proud of in the past,” Amanah Coalition’s statement said.

About forty leaders representing the most powerful clans in Mindanao gathered in a press conference to issue the Statement of Support to Bro. Eddie.

With Bangon Pilipinas vice-presidential candidate Perfecto “Jun” Yasay and the entire senatorial slate from the Catholic, Christian, and Adventist faiths, the Muslim leaders declared, “We call on all the Muslims, Christians and Lumadnons of Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan, as well as the people of Luzon and Visayas, to join us in supporting the Villanueva-Yasay tandem and its entire senatorial slate so that we can achieve a new and lasting real beginning in our beloved nation.”

Per Comelec data, 23.5 percent of the voting population for the 2010 elections is in Mindanao.

Villanueva for President?
Have you heard the news? The leader of Jesus is Lord Movement – Bro. Eddie Villanueva is reportedly bent on running again for president in 2010… to which a disgruntled observer said, “Anong palagay niya sa Pilipinas, kulto?”

In a related report, Bro. Eddie Villanueva, who’s running again for president in 2010 wants Pampanga Governor Ed Panlilio to be his running mate. In fact, Bro. Eddie has reportedly come up with a possible campaign slogan. It goes… “Todo na ito: Villanueva at Panlilio! Ang hindi bumoto… diretso sa impiyerno!” (Afraid!)

Top 5 Political Questions to Ask Bro. Eddie Villanueva

5: To date, how much pork barrel has been enjoyed by your son Joel as a party-list representative?

4: If you and Bro. Mike Velarde would go head to head in the 2010 presidential polls, who do you think the Lord would choose – if He could vote?

3: You? Really now?

2: In 2004, you claimed that the Jesus is Lord Movement had five million loyal members. Do you remember how many of them actually rejected your presidential bid?

And the No. 1 political question to ask Bro. Eddie Villanueva…

1: If you were elected president in 2010… what the hell were the voters thinking?

Hey heckler whats wrong with Eddie Villanueva?

I will prefer him than bong revilla. The guy is not that bad as compared to our greddy politicians.

Though I am irritated with his son, especially if I see him on tv. Feeling matalino at alam ang batas, puro ngawa.

Ano ba ang nagawa ni Brother Eddie para maging karapatdapat siyang Presidente ng Pilipinas?

Baka puro dasal at praise the Lord lang alam niyan.

HIrap kasi niyan, kahit sino na lang pwede nang maging Presidente ng bansa.

Pustahan tayo, kapag nanalo si Pacquiao kay Hatton, may magsasabi na dapat maging Presidente si Pacquiao.

Nitong kelan lang, ang gimmick naman ni Lacson eh sabihing magste-step aside siya kapag tumakbo bilang Presidente si Chief Justice Renato Puno.

Bakit? Ano ba ang nagawa ni Puno para maisip ni Lacson na karapatdapat siyang maging Presidente ng bansa?

Heckler! Those who are saying against Bro. Eddie are like you destined to hell. If the unrighteous and corrupt has the freedom to run how much more the righteous like bro. Eddie and Fr. Ed Panlilio? I challenge everyone what can you say against Bro. Eddie other than he is a religious leader? Do you know him? his life? hi past? principle? Look at the evidences how he lead his group from nothing. Did you heard any corruption or theft issue about him? Common! don’t be stupid and fool guys! I’m not a member of bro Eddie’s religion, but what I look for a candidate for president is the character and principle and not the diploma and bank account! GODBLESS the PHILIPPINES!!!

Hi… the following letter is a letter from a hard working Bangon Volunteer.

***

*Name of the recipient was intentionally deleted*:

I am taking time out to put my thoughts in writing that I may share with you why I go on with this seemingly crazy if not lunatic fight that we are in. I am doing this because you keep on forwarding to me articles calling for support for Noynoy. I wish you would not feel it your duty to do so. But I understand. You already expressed your doubts about our whole cause before, because of the seeming impossibility of it. It is my prayer that my two cents’ worth will be of some light, if not encouragement, for you.

First, nobody likes to lose. When I fight, I fight to win. Lawyers do not accept clearly losing cases. It is bad for your practice. When I ran in 2001, 2004, and 2007, they were all designed to win. I won two by God’s grace, and lost one, closely, still by God’s grace. I share with you this because I don’t want you to think that there is a “death wish” in what I or we are all doing.

Let’s set aside Cindy Jacob’s prophecy first. My background as a Baptist and (Calvinist) Reformed Christian, who only some years ago learned to know the Holy Spirit and His ways from the Pentecostal brethren, has trained me to look at life from the perspective of the Scriptures. This is the authority over everything in my life.

I am not a religious fanatic. I know the theology of common grace which allows me to help even “non-Christian” candidates if they stand on principles espoused by Scriptures. My father campaigned for Claro M. Recto, who was not a “Christian” in the way we understand it. He campaigned for Diokno, Tanada, Ninoy, Roxas, ect., all the opposition stalwarts in Marcos’ time. I campaigned for Fred Lim for President during my time, and in 2004 I started out with Roco to end with ECV late inthe campaign. I was with the group of Ramos when I campaigned for his provincial team in 1992. I have campaigned for congressmen and mayors, many of whom won. I am telling you this to assure you that I can operate under “common grace”.

But right now, for the first time, I have seen a right candidate FROM THE SCRIPTURES’ point of view. I checked the Scriptures’ checklist (Deut. 31, Joshua 1, Daniel 6, Proverbs 31 vs. 1-8, etc.) and I cannot escape the conclusion that ECV complies with God’s requirements. His life experiences, his passion for the poor and oppressed (which I have not seen in others), his courage to confront evil (which I have not seen in others), and his passion for God and His Word, these are the things that, in a sense, put me in this “divine bind”. It is not about ECV. It is about God, what He says, what He wants, what He desires. It is only in Bangon and with ECV that I know these things are sought with a view to obey and follow. I cannot see this in NP, LP, NPC, Lakas.

Add to that are the millions of Christians who are praying for God to visit this land. I stand with them.

I am not against Noynoy. In fact, I have a fondness for him and his family. Ninoy was my hero. Watched all his tapes during Martial Law. Devoured copies of his speeches. I was a Provincial Coordinator of NAMFREL when Cory ran. My father’s old station wagon car with me in charge secured 11 ballot boxes against the police and the military in the snap polls. Noynoy is very humble and unassuming and does not even care for the state of his hair, just like me. His former girlfriend died during one of the coups against his mother. And except for his smoking, he is a very decent man. In fact, more than that, I believe that his political dna can enable him to rise to greatness and to his own brand of leadership. It is in his veins.

But it is a passion in a leader for God and His Word, His ways, His plans, His precepts that this country desperately needs. “Unfortunately”, I see that only in ECV, and he is so far behind in the ratings.

Now where does that leave you and me?

For one, we can all abandon ship and go to where the wind of popularity blows.

Or, we can stay on towards what outsiders see as certain disaster and defeat.

Or we can stay neutral and watch from the sidelines.

I choose to stay. I want to be with God’s cause and His people even when the night is long and the road is even much longer. He died for me through His Son. He has given me everything I have and more. Without Him and His Word and grace and Spirit, my life has no meaning. So I go with Him and His cause, there is no second-guessing it.

Now you ask, can Noynoy’s candidacy be from God? What if Cindy Jacobs is wrong?

I learned in Bible school and seminary and self-study that God’s will is four fold: He has a decretive will (root word: decree), directive will, permissive will (what He allows), and overruling will (the will that He asserts and enforces). All together they are His sovereign will. It is possible for God to have allowed Noynoy’s candidacy, and it is even possible for Him to allow Noynoy to win.

But as God’s child and servant, I have no business second-guessing God’s permissive will. My task is to seek His directive and decretive will. What did He direct? What did He decree? That nations be founded on His principles. That He alone be worshipped. That rulers must have a copy of the Book of the Law with them which they must read everyday, etc. And “unfortunately”, there is Eddie Villanueva who embraces or displays all this. It would have been much simpler if there was no Eddie Villanueva, or if Bro. Eddie had coffee with God at Starbucks and God tells him to fold up. Then, I go back to my quiet life here in Bacolod instead of running around the country like crazy. Or run for public office again. Or just enjoy life. This running around can be exhausting!

“Unfortunately”, Bro. Eddie is strong in his resolve, and my brothers, those redeemed by the blood, they weep in prayer for this country.

So whether it is through the lion’s den, or through the fire, or through deep waters, my lot is with God’s people, God’s army, my brothers and sisters.

But now, having said that, I also know that the God I serve is capable of the most dramatic of surprises. All his acts of redemption in history were all unprecedented at the time He did them. Abraham becoming a father at 100. Noah’s flood. David killing a giant. Daniel surviving a lion’s den. Gideon’s 300 destroying an army of thousands. So on and so forth.

So the only way to find out if God will do that for the country or for Bangon or for ECV is to stay on. Abraham stayed on. Noah stayed on till the first rain drops fell. David endured till he became king. Nehemiah endured till the walls were rebuilt. William Wilberforce fought on till slavery was outlawed in England. Lincoln endured five years of Civil War, resisted a truce that would not resolve slavery in America, but stayed the course till victory was on.

But what if God allows otherwise. Read Hebrews 11 again. Half received what was promised. Half did not. BUT ALL ACTED IN FAITH. And all received something better at the end.

To abandon ship and join the bandwagon is not of faith. It requires faith to stay. It requires no faith to leave. I stay. The just shall live by faith. (I love that because that was the cry of the Reformation. I hope they still teach church history in the churches today!)

Look at this. If Noynoy wins, he rules 6 years. After that, life goes on. If ECV wins, he rules 6 years, and life for this country is never the same again. If he loses, and somebody else wins, we lick our wounds, and look forward to eternity with heads unbowed.

I choose eternity. Not the euphoria and the melodrama of the moment.

Who knows, the God who loves to spring surprises may yet spring a horrendous upset. And I would love to be part of it. If not, I still would like to be part of the remnant that waited for it, even if it did not come. Remember Shedrach, Meschach, and Abednego. But today, as always, I want God and His cause to always win in my heart and life. Every other thing, I entrust to His sovereign will.

With this, I hope I enlightened you somewhat, and I hope, you would not forward to me all those articles exhorting one and all to join the bandwagon. I already know what they want to say, and while I respect them, I have heard enough and do not need any more of them. To quote an old preacher, I do not want to pollute the atmosphere with unbelief.

Thank you and God bless you more and more!

Sino pa nga ba?

Nagtatanong tayo kung sino ang mag-uumpisa sa pagbabago ng Pilipinas… Look no further guys, it has got to start from us. Wala tayong dapat sisihin kung bakit nahihirapan ang bansa natin, dahil marami po sa atin, pinag-papalit sa konting halaga ang ating karapatan para mamili ng tamang tao para mamuno sa atin. Marami rin sa atin ang naghahanap ng popular at sikat at maimpluwensiya ngunit di natin minsan isinasa-alang-alang ang mga magiging anak natin, tayo din naman ang nahihirapan. Sana sa darating na halalan, mamili tayo ng tamang tao, yung may tamang puso, at tamang layunin para sa bayan. Wala na tayong aasahan pang ibang tao na mag-uumpisa sa pagbabago ng ating bansa, sapagkat sa atin parin manggagaling ang desisyon.

Bagong Pilipinas is a growing movement of like minded filpinos that are working for social transformation and a morally upright and righteous nation.

We envision ourselves as New Filipinos who embrace all that is good, just and righteous for the country. We are the citizenry that seeks the changes first within ourselves. As New Filipinos we will strive to be examples for others, to do what is right for others, and to dedicate ourselves to the task of nation-building.

For more information on the movement, please visit www.bagongpilipinas.org

Forwarded message:

Why I am voting for Bro. EDDIE VILLANUEVA for the next Philippine President? I can think of at least 12 reasons:

_____1. He is an idealist. Has been and will always be. This assures us what he said he will definitely do.

_____2. He is a fighter, an activist. He fought for the rights of his family, he fought for the rights of the labor. He was one of those who fought the Marcos regime, the only candidate who did so. He will also fight for us. While PGMA cancelled her miting de avance out of fear for her safety, he dared to show up in every debate and every political rally or meetings when he is physically able.

_____3. PMAP (Personnel Management Association of the Philippines) assessed him through his interview as one who is more qualified than ROCO or LACSON, the edge is that he is a CAPTIVATOR that is he can unify all sectors of the society.

_____4. His integrity has been impeccable, this is what the country needs. People don’t trust the government anymore we need a leader who can be a moral example and restore the people’s trust in the government.

_____5. He is an inspiring leader, many columnist like De Quiros of Inquirer who is a known ROCO loyalist also observed that he is an inspiring leader. Thus he can drive the people to volunteerism and really gets the job done.

_____6. He is educated in economics (PUP and UP) and political law (UP) and even the Scriptures. He is also an educator. Disenchanted from Marxism while he taught economics, he became a preacher of righteousness.

_____7. He has led up to 7 Million laity for 25 years. It shows he is a good manager, administrator, and leader. He has managed Zoe 11 TV despite the selective advertisements. Not only that, he also established the JIL Colleges.

_____8. He lives a simple life. For for 25 years it would have been tempting to take advantage financially but his life open to everyone shows no hint of financial gain.

_____9. He has no excess political baggage. In this campaign alone he owed no religious leader nor political leaders his candidacy, he owes it to the people who volunteers to support him expecting nothing in return. Muslims as led by a Sultan from Mindanao supports him because the Sultan said, only Villanueva did not approach him to offer him anything. This is also the turning point for Winnie Monsod to throw her support for him.

_____10. He represents new politics. A politics of change. Of national moral renewal. In this campaign alone, his supporters bought his campaign gadgets. In many of his forums, the people who supports him or those who want to listen pay for the food and venue expecting nothing in return.

_____11. His health cannot be doubted. In this campaign alone, he travelled by land, sea and air all over the country. He is physically fit for the presidency.

_____12. His run for the presidency is driven by a desire for a moral national renewal than political advancement. This is the very reason why he is stance is the presidency or nothing at all. The Presidency is the seat of authority Constitutionally mandated for effectual national change. We are assured that there will be no politicking but a no-nonsense implementation of his highly commended and well thought 10-point program.

I am sure you have your own reasons for your own chosen Presidential candidates. I just hope and pray that the (1) debatable survey results, (2) vain popularity, (3) you-don’t-like-this-one-to
-win-so-you-will-vote-for-the-other are not three of those reasons, it is but high time for every Filipino to vote with conviction and conscience. God bless you and God bless the Philippines!

Just a few more months and we’ll be seeing another president for our beloved country. My family, friends and countrymen, I urge you to please make your choice be for the betterment of our country. I urge you to vote for an honest, trustworthy and God-fearing man who will be able to stand and fight for a new and upright government which we have, for so many decades, longed and prayed for.

Now is the time for change. Now is our best chance to prove to the entire world that the Philippines is indeed the first Christian Nation in Asia. Let us work together to make this happen, for what good is a good government, if the people under it are not.
