INQUIRER: INC collections moved to Cayman Islands
Archimedes
B?nned by ?dmin
IGLESIA ni Cristo (INC) members in the United States were asked to bring $100 bills for their offerings, a former head of the churchs foreign mission said as he confirmed receiving reports about INC leaders skimming cash off collections as early as 2011.
Allegations that collections from cash offerings in the United States were being stashed possibly in the Cayman Islands have been swirling for some time, said former minister Isaias Samson Jr., who was expelled in July on suspicion that he was the one who wrote critical online stories about the INC governing council.
Samson said that back in 2011, the arrival of a roving auditor to pick up the entire collections after worship services, instead of these being deposited in a bank, raised alarm bells among some congregations in the United States.
I know the members. Theyre very close to me. And they were asking me: How come offerings are being picked up immediately and the members were being asked to bring $100? he said in an interview last week.
Samson received the reports when he headed the churchs foreign mission from 2007 to 2012. An ordained minister for 43 years, he was a resident minister in the United States for 18 years and in Europe for two years.
Old system clean
He said the standard practice was to deposit the collections in a bank to be accessed by the sects US main office in California. There was a paper trail; it was clean [under the old system].
When the new scheme was carried out, only amounts below $100 were deposited in the bank, Samson said.
This scheme probably began in 2011. The members were shocked but theyre very obedient. They just rationalized that the church needed the money for the construction of chapels until they found out that commissions were being made out of the construction of chapels, he said.
Samson was unaware if the reports reached INC executive minister Eduardo V. Manalo.
Of an estimated 3 million INC members in the Philippines and abroad, some 100,000 can be found in the United States, according to Samson.
He accused INC leaders of illegally detaining him in mid-July, a charge dismissed by state prosecutors. He had been suspected of blogging about corruption in the 101-year-old homegrown church under the pseudonym Antonio Ebangelista. He has denied this.
Scheme reported to IRS
American Vincent Florida, a former minister in the INC Northern Virginia congregation, has reported the sect, Manalo and general auditor Glicerio Santos Jr. to the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for tax fraud.
Florida told the Inquirer he filed his report in IRS form 3949A for failure to pay taxes in August.
The form is used for reporting suspected tax fraud, including false exemptions or deductions, kickbacks, false or altered document, failure to pay tax, unreported income and organized crime.
Florida left the church on July 30 amid charges of corruption in the INC and abduction of ministers critical of the sects leadership.
He claimed that congregations were asked to convert cash collections into $100 bills and turn over the money to district auditors. He said only offerings in checks were deposited in the bank.
The district auditors in turn remitted the cash to Santos during pastoral visits.
Disappearing cash
The cash just disappeared, Florida said. Mid-Atlantic is the smallest in INCs eight districts. Can you just imagine? Were talking millions of dollars from the congregations, with no paper trail. Theyre circumventing the tax laws of the United States.
INC spokesperson Edwil Zabala said the INC leadership would respond to Floridas allegations in due time and in the proper forum.
He did not respond when the Inquirer sought his comment on the alleged diversion of INC collections.
INC insiders, collating testimonies from members in the United States, documented a scheme committed right under the noses of some ministers.
According to them, the scheme works this way:
The offerings are converted into $100 bills at a local or parish for easier transport, collected by the district auditor or minister under duress and brought to a collection center, like a conveniently located chapel.
The collections are consolidated at a hotel where Santos, the INCs chief finance officer, is billeted, or stashed in a vault at the churchs US main office in California, for eventual pickup.
Pastoral visits
The scheme is carried out during big eventswhen Manalo or Santos is around for a pastoral visitand in locals headed by obedient resident ministers.
In their calendar, the major cash-generating thanksgiving services are held in the third or fourth weekend of July and in the third week of December.
Congregations in Long Beach, California; Elizabeth, New Jersey; Washington, DC; Temple Hills, Maryland; Bronx, New York; Seattle, Washington; Anaheim, California; and Corpus Christi, Texas, received verbal instructions to collect $100 bills for the thanksgiving service in July, the insiders said.
The insiders said it wouldnt be a surprise to find a huge drop in bank deposits.
Cayman Islands, Switzerland
For instance, from $20,000 in December 2011 and $20,500 in December 2012, the deposits dropped to $12,000 in December 2013 in a certain local, they said.
These are brought to the Cayman Islands through a small plane and then a big plane. The plane is registered in Cayman, Samson said, citing reports from members in the United States.
The transport of money allegedly by the church-owned Airbus could not be confirmed.
Florida alleged that Manalo, Santos and other INC leaders had managed to stay under the radar for years because they carried the cash on a private plane that they used for their regular pastoral visits to the United States.
Samson said he had also received information that an Airbus had taken the INC leaders to the Cayman Islands and Switzerland. With a report from Jocelyn R. Uy

Irresponsible charge vs religious group hit
THE Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) is willing to forego the alleged offshore bank accounts of its top ministers if proven true even as Rep. Felix William Wimpy Fuentebella of Camarines Sur branded the latest accusation as irresponsible.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) Spokesperson Edwil Zabala categorically denied allegations by expelled ministers Isaias Samson, Jr. and Vincent Florida that some officers of the church maintained personal and unauthorized offshore bank accounts in the Cayman Islands or in Switzerland, as well as charges that its leaders were skimming cash off member collections in the United States.
We follow protocols for the deposit of cash collections. We also have very stringent audit procedures, otherwise the church would not be granted tax-exempt status by the US government, Zabala explained.
Zabala challenged Samson and Florida to prove that the church had offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands and in Switzerland, going as far as saying that if Samson and Florida could prove that the alleged accounts exist, they could keep the contents.
We are willing to sign a waiver; if they can prove that any of INCs leaders have offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands or in Switzerland, they can have the cash in all of them.
Fuentebella, for his part, bewailed that Florida, an expelled INC minister based in the United States, hurled the accusation despite admitting he has no personal knowledge of the issue.
Masyadong seryoso ang kanyang akusasyon pero hindi naman pala ito totoo, dahil ang totoo ay walang imbestigasyon na isinasagawa ang IRS laban sa INC sa US, the lawmaker said in a statement.
Fuentebella was referring to the confirmation made by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the United States that there is no pending criminal case in the US Federal Court, specifically against INC Executive Minister Eduardo Manalo and INC auditor Glicerio Santos.
There is nothing filed in the federal courts on these two individuals (Eduardo V. Manalo and Glicerio Santos, Jr.).
Unless anything is filed with (the) court(s) (which is) public record, the IRS would not be able to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation, said IRS special agent Arlette Lee.
The lawmaker also called on the media to be circumspect in reporting allegations that lack evidence as it has the effect of destroying the name and reputation of individuals and institutions.
The INC, for its part, said it is urging its members to just pray for the enlightenment of its critics and those who wish to sow division within our Church."0 -

Eto ang sabi ng Ka Edwil Zabala tungkol sa alleged Switzerland and Cayman Island accounts,..
... Zabala hurled a similar challenge at Samson and Florida regarding the alleged offshore accounts in the Caymans and Switzerland.
He said church leaders were willing to sign a waiver allowing the two or an investigator to inquire about the INC with the proper authorities in the Cayman Islands and in Switzerland.
Sige na Kanoto, unahan mo na!

Evidences refuting the allegation that offerings in the US are being stolen are overwhelming
ANSWERING FALLEN ANGELS

Punto-por-Punto na Pagsagot sa mga Kumakalaban sa Pamamahala

WHO WOULD YOU RATHER BELIEVE?
Evidences refuting the allegation that our offerings in the United States are being stolen are overwhelming
THE End-Time Antichrists (the fallen angels) claim that there is corruption today inside the Church Of Christ. Mr. Vincent Florida, an expelled minister, claims that cash donations were routinely left out of the tax reports filed by the church with the US government. He says only checks were counted, and INC members were told to convert their donations to $100 bills that were then turned over directly to church auditors:
ANOTHER DAY, another complaint against the Iglesia ni Cristo. This time, on top of the serious allegations of illegal detention and grave coercion filed by former ministers against the INC hierarchy, a complaint for tax fraud has been filed with the United States Internal Revenue Service by another ministera move that has the potential to dramatically expand the public scrutiny that the church has tried desperately to treat cavalierly and elude all this time
The United States IRS has not yet announced an inquiry into the tax fraud complaint filed by Vincent Florida, but his allegations against the church are anything but frivolous. Florida, 65, a former minister in the INC Northern Virginia congregation, claims that cash donations were routinely left out of the tax reports filed by the church with the US government. He says only checks were counted, and INC members were told to convert their donations to $100 bills that were then turned over directly to church auditors. For the past six years, according to Florida, some $150,000 was remitted to INC auditor Glicerio Santos Jr. four times a yearwith no paper trail, apparently because, if Florida is to be believed, the money was spirited aboard a private plane that Santos, along with INC executive director Eduardo Manalo and other top church officials regularly use on their pastoral visits to the United States.
Florida further claims that For the past six years some $150,000 was remitted to INC auditor Glicerio Santos Jr. four times a yearwith no paper trail, apparently because, if Florida is to be believed, the money was spirited aboard a private plane that Santos, along with INC executive director Eduardo Manalo and other top church officials regularly use on their pastoral visits to the United States. But does Florida has concrete proof about this? None. It is only based on his belief thus, a hearsay, an opinion.
Together with Isaias Samson Jr., they claim that some officers of the church maintained personal and unauthorized offshore bank accounts in the Cayman Islands or in Switzerland, as well as charges that its leaders were skimming cash off member collections in the United States. Again, do they have concrete evidences about this? None. Florida said in an interview by the Inquirer, that is what I heard.
Is the allegation true that the offerings of the members of the Church in the United States are being stolen?

Truly, the evidences refuting the allegation that our offerings in the United States are being stolen are overwhelming.0
