I was recently invited to a blogger coffee session with JIL Senior Pastor and presidential candidate Bro. Eddie Villanueva this coming weekend. Since I want to take this opportunity to represent you guys (Juan Country readers), please do leave comments on this post on what you want me to ask Bro. Eddie. This is a good opportunity for us to candidly confront and pick his brains. Personally I already have a bunch of questions that I’ll fire off, most of which will definitely “hot” so I’m really looking forward to this event. Hit the comments below for your questions. I’ll...

The latest SWS Survey commissioned by Senator and Presidential aspirant Manny Villar shows that the top three front runners are: Senator Manny Villar (22%), Former President Joseph Estrada (19%), and Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero (18%). It’s not surprising to see this because Senator Villar has really been pouring out massive amounts of resources in trying to build his name for the upcoming 2010 elections.

When JIL leader Bro. Eddie Villanueva officially declared his bid to run for the Presidency, he described his campaign will be all about the “Politics of God”.

Instead of talking about the bible, he spent almost half an hour praising Brother Eddie. David of this Generation The...

Jesus is Lord (JIL) leader Brother Eddie Villanueva formally announced his intentions to run for President in 2010 in a press conference in Barasoain Church in Malolos, Bulacan. This officially makes him the third charismatic religious leader that’s joining the race for the highest position in the country in 2010. He joins the ranks of Pampanga Governor Ed Panlilio and El Shaddai’s Brother Mike Velarde. The leader of JIL explained that he got cheated out of the 2004 elections and that he’s determined to win the elections this time around. He will be the standard bearer of the...

If you guys regularly read the newspaper then you probably would have noticed right now that Brother Eddie Villanueva has been releasing semi-political advertisements (Bagon Pilipinas campaign). He’s also appeared on several programs on TV wherein he talked about his plans for 2010. Other than him, we also have Pampanga Governor Ed Panlilio who has already announced his intention to run for the Presidency. Lastly we have El Shaddai Brother Mike Velarde who recently said that he was considering his options as well for 2010. We now have three religious charismatic leaders who are saying that...
