After the unsuccessful multiple day rally by the misinformed members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC), Justice Secretary Leila De Lima emerged victorious, while the former remains big losers.

Although the leadership of INC said the rally was a win-win situation, Bro. Isaias Samson – the expelled minister who filed the criminal case against the Church’s council is not convinced.

The main reason, according to Samson, why the rally had to be stopped, was because of the insufficient support from the Church’s members.

Bro. Samson, a former member of the council said the members from the Quezon City alone could fill-up the needed number of protesters, but because majority of the members from Quezon City knows the truth, they preferred not to join the rally.

“In the past few days, they were able to gather about seven thousands. That shows that the members of the church are no longer listening to them (referring to the Sanggunian). They still had to resort to asking the members from far provinces to come to Manila. To think the Quezon City alone, the District of Quezon City is more than enough to mass more than what they had gathered the last night of the rally. In other words, members are not listening to them. They had to go to remote places and ask members, and even non-members to join disregarding the safety of the children and older members”, Bro. Samson told Karen Davila.

A Victory for De Lima

Despite of heavy traffic, support for Sec. De Lima poured from netizens around the world. At the time of this writing, #DeLimaBringtheTruth has already been twitted 280,311 times showing support for De Lima and asking her not to back down from supporting Bro. Samson. A proof the people knows what is right and what is wrong as opposed to the beliefs of misinformed INC members who went to EDSA.

On the other hand, #iglesianicristo only twitted 40,790 times showing support to the Iglesia Ni Cristo.

The office of the president issued a statement denying a deal between the church and the palace but netizens and the public is asking the government to reveal all information to the public.

“Pumunta kami rito at walang nagyari”, an INC member from Balintawak said in an interview by TV5 Saturday night.
