El Shaddai leader Brother Mike Velarde opened his new church called the International House of Prayer in Paranque yesterday. More than being a religious event, it had shades of politics all over it. Presidential aspirants flocked to the opening in hopes of wooing votes from the 7M members of El Shaddai. Even President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was present during the proceedings. In his speech, Brother Mike hinted once again about his intentions to run for 2010 as President.
Here’s a direct quote from his speech:
“As of today, everyone’s a potential candidate. But most of the aspirants are my good friends. That’s another problem for me unless by divine guidance, they all give up in my favor.”
At least he has a good sense of humor. 
Other than his hints, Brother Mike also explains that his support for the Arroyo administration ends in 2010 and he explains that he will be encouraging his church to vote for just 1 candidate, be it him or someone that he will endorse in the future.
