This is the latest much talked about and extremely humiliating blunder of the INC General Auditor, Bro. Glicerio “Jun” Santos Jr. after staging a “Miracle Conversion” of an alleged Orthodox Preacher to INC after hearing the powerful preaching of Bro. Glicerio “Jun” Santos Jr. during a Lingap Pamamahayag in Gen. Santos City Gymnasium, Cotabato South District last September 25, 2016:

Although, the “producers and directors” of this “stage act” were so convinced that their plan was fool-proof, unfortunately, they were sadly mistaken. Soon after this fiasco, I wrote to The Philippine Orthodox Church to shed light on the “John Collado Miracle Conversion” that has spread like wildfire everywhere, especially on social media. Here is their Official Reply:

Dear Mr. Ebangelista,
Christian Greetings.
Thank you for your offering to help publish our official statement. We would like to make it clear that we are not against to any single person who converts to any sect voluntarily. However, we have noticed that videos and photos spreading like a fire on the social media with the news attached/caption saying that a priest of a “Christian Orthodox Church” converted to the Iglesia ni Cristo. An example of these lies shared many times on the internet both by ministers and members of INC, among many other post can be found here:
Phil Campos – This is epic! Truly the Words of God is… | Facebook
It is only one example, and there are many on the social media we found. Of course, ordinary INC people know nothing until the organizers of the event in Gensan announce that it was an “Orthodox priest”. We know it is simply false as the person who converted is only our ordinary layman. We are surprised that the posts has a hundred of thousand viewers already and many people, specially INC people believe this so I write to INC people to correct these news so after few hours they change their statement into “Orthodox Preacher, a former Aglipayan priest”. But still it is a lie. Mr. Collado is not an Orthodox preacher but only an ordinary layman. Also, some other jurisdictions of the Orthodox Church (we have a multiple jurisdictions worldwide), believe on this LIE so here we make our official statement hoping it will help the leadership of INC and its members to correct their statements and not mislead the public and to give clear understanding for the public.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT REGARDING MR. JOHN COLLADO
On September 25, 2016, during the Philippine sect “Iglesia Ni Cristo”’s event in Lagao Gymnasium, in General Santos City, they are boosting that in front of their 50, 000 members, a priest of the Orthodox Church in the person of JOHN NGALON COLLADO take off his priestly vestment and converted to their sect. The video, photos and statements were attached on their post on social media. To shed light on this, we would like to correct the false claim of the Iglesia ni Cristo sect as well as the crime committed by Mr. Collado by declaring the following FACTS:
1.) MR. JOHN COLLADO IS NOT (AND NEVER HAS BEEN) AN ORTHODOX PRIEST
2.) MR. JOHN COLLADO HAS NOT BEEN ORDAINED EVEN IN THE LOWEST RANK WHICH IS AN ORTHODOX READER
3.) MR. JOHN COLLADO IS A FORMER PRIEST OF THE PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENT CATHOLIC CHURCH (PICC) ALSO KNOWN AS AGLIPAYAN CHURCH WHO GO ON SCHISM FROM PICC TOGETHER WITH OTHER AGLIPAYAN PRIESTS AND CREATED THE INDEPENDENT CATHOLIC CHURCH OF MINDANAO (ICCM).
4.) MR. JOHN COLLADO TOGETHER WITH OTHER ICCM CLERGIES CONVERTED VOLUNTARILY THEMSELVES TO THE ORTHODOX CHURCH (MOSCOW PATRIARCHATE) AND WE KNOW HIM ONLY FOR 2 1/2 YEARS.
5.) HE FORFEITED HIS AGLIPAYAN PRIESTHOOD IN AUGUST 2015 AND WAS BAPTIZED AS AN ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN AND BECAME AN ORTHODOX LAYMAN.
6.) SINCE HE IS A NEW CONVERT, WHOSE EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND IS ONLY A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE (WHICH IS ALLOWED IN AGLIPAYANISM FOR ORDINATION), AND HE NEVER ENTER INTO A PROPER SEMINARY EVEN IN HIS AGLIPAYAN TIMES, AND UPON CONSIDERATION OF THE NATURE OF HIS UNSTABLE CHARACTER, HE IS NOT EVEN AMONG OF THOSE CANDIDATES FOR ORTHODOX PRIESTHOOD.
7.) HIS STATEMENTS THAT HE NOW FORFEITS HIS ORTHODOX PRIESTHOOD ARE FRAUDULENT. HE IS MISLEADING THE PUBLIC BY LYING PUBLICLY AND HAS COMMITTED A CRIME OF MISREPRESENTATION AGAINST THE ORTHODOX CHURCH.
8.) THE VESTMENT WHICH HE IS WEARING AND TAKEN OFF AS SHOWN IN THE VIDEO IS NOT A VESTMENT OF AN ORTHODOX PRIEST BUT OF A CATHOLIC ONE AS COPIED BY THE AGLIPAYANS.
9.) THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH MISSION IN THE PHILIPPINES TO WHICH MR. COLLADO HAS BELONGED, IS ONLY MORE THAN TWO YEARS SINCE WE STARTED OUR MISSION AND WERE NOT ORDAINING YET NOT EVEN A SINGLE FILIPINO ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN TO ANY RANKS OF PRIESTHOOD AND HAVE NO PRIEST YET AS OF THIS TIME IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Having said the above facts, we reproach the leaders and members of the so called “Iglesia Ni Cristo” for spreading lies publicly WITHOUT verifying first the background of Mr. Collado. This only proves that this sect is IRRESPONSIBLE and NOT preaching the Truth as they even unable to do a background check to verify the claims of Mr. Collado, OR knowingly facilitates the fraudulent activity. We know the “Iglesia Ni Cristo” has a capacity to do verifications or background checks as they have members who work in many government agencies, yet they opt to just spread lies on their evangelism activities, a proof that their “evangelization” is accompanied with LIES.
We are calling all people of goodwill, including public media and government authorities not to be misled by the lies propagated by Mr. Collado, and to refrain from further publicizing these lies.
To all Orthodox Christians, let us pray for Mr. Collado’s soul and for his repentance.
As per about the Philippine Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate), it is the registered legal name of the Russian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate mission in the Philippines.

It is our fervent hope that somehow this could help enlighten those people who have been gravely misled by the deceitful General Auditor of the INC, Bro. Glicerio “Jun” Santos Jr. and his cohorts. Sometimes it takes a rude awakening to truly awaken a person pretending to be asleep. This is in no way intended to add insult to injury, just merely adding chili powder to the open wound. Cheer up Bro. Glicerio “Jun” Santos Jr., your next grand “production number” awaits you at the next Lingap Pamamahayag.
