“ A MAN OF GOD OR A PREACHER OF THE WORD OF GOD SHOULD BE A

DEFENDER OR A SOLDIER OF GOD

RIGHTFULLY UPHOLDING THE WORD OF GOD”

(A Revelation about Willy Santiago)

In response to to the damaging remarks hurled by Mr. Willy Santiago against me during our worship
service held on a Sunday, September 27, 2015 accusing me of sowing discord among members infront of
the congregation to whom he preaches,
I am writing this article so that anybody who reads the passages written therein, will know that we
together with my family and friends and relatives who use to be co-members of the church organization
led my Mr. Willy Santiago are no longer connected with him. We no longer recognize his leadership in the
church wherein he preaches and we believe that he has no more moral authority to lead over us since
we believe that he has committed a great sin against God. Please read the following messages as I have
decided not to keep silent on the said issues as I now know the true character of Willy Santiago and what
he is capable of doing.

First of all I would like to tell all of you of how Willy Santiago and I met. My wife upon arriving home
from a 3-day Pasalamat festival held in Apalit, Pampanga told me that Willy Santiago was expelled from
the ANG DATING DAAN or ADD, as announced by its leader himself Bro EFS for some reasons and that
the leadership instructed its members to avoid communicating with Willy Santiago to avoid being mislead
by him. One of the reasons my wife told me why Willy Santiago was expelled is that she also heard that
he is a bad husband who is capable of beating his wife Jane aside from not recognizing the authority or
the leadership of ADD. I did not believe that these accusations are true and I considered them as
baseless and one-sided. So I tried to look for him asking some people where he lives or stays, until one
day a close friend of mine, also a member of ADD happens to meet Mr. Bal Roque also from ADD who is
then very close to Willy Santiago for some reasons. The friend of mine gave my cel number to Mr. Roque
and told him to tell Willy Santiago to call me asap, and that is how it started. Our first meeting is in
McDonalds South Supermarket Malolos after he attended a court hearing, together with him is Mr. Edwin
Benales his personal driver who also separated from ADD. The hearing he attended is related to the
petition for annulment he filed against his commonlaw wife, Ms Jane Angeles. We often met together
until one time he introduced to me a woman who happens to be his other woman which he took after he
was separated with Ms Jane Angeles. She is Ms Grace Roque a daugther of Mr Bal Roque and by then
she already had a daugther by Willy Santiago, the first fruit of their relationship.

Upon seeing the woman who was with him, he explained to me that she met her during the days when
he was devastated when his wife, Jane Angeles left him secretly taking with her his two children abroad
via Singapore and eventually to Brazil where Mr.Soriano stays. He told me that having met the woman is
a grace from God since she helped him a lot to recover his state of emotions and with it he was then able
to preach again. By that time I did not question the legality of his marital condition having taken another
wife while still tied to Ms Jane Angeles thru legal marriage by whom Mr Soriano himself officiated and
also I have no doubt by then if his having a new wife does not contradict with God’s commandments
considerring and knowing that he is a preacher of God who should be familiar with God’s Laws.

During that time I have known that his place of preaching or chapel is in bgy. Tambubong, San Rafael
Bulacan which was then transferred to bgy. Ulingao, San Rafael Bulacan both of which are rented until
eventually the place of worship and teaching was transferred to Malolos, Bulacan wherein a new chapel
has been built at our own expense in a lot owned also by our family. Since it was built by us for the intent
of serving God and being a member of the Church of God myself and my family, the use of the chapel is
free-of-charge. From that time and after almost two years Bro Willy lived there at a residential facility
inside the chapel and inside the compound with his new wife and daugther together also with the family
of her new wife.
 While staying there, I have observed the way they live and also the character of Willy Santiago being a
preacher which I expect him to emulate the humility shown by our Lord Jesus Christ. In reality he had
shown partiality to the members always favoring his immediate family members and persons close to him
in many instances. He is hot-tempered, easily angered and he speaks most of the time in a manner as
giving commands. He does not accept advice even from older people like me even if it is necessary. He
likes to attack his former religion especially his former teacher and the nephew who is now second in rank
at ADD. He insulted me by calling a secret meeting in Laguna just to malign me which was revealed to
me by someone but which he did not even considered his actions against me as a mistake saying most of
the time that he is the leader and the preacher and we must always follow him whatever he wishes.

He becomes upset when asked about reports on finacial issues especially the voluntary contributions
of church members which he is taking all by himself for his own use and his second family, and also
about the issue of the contributions he received from abroad the amount and use he kept secret up to
now with regards to the amount and how he uses it. The inquiry about the contribution from abroad by
some church members resulted in the suspension and eventually expulsion of these members, but he
used another reason to divert from the true issue. He referred to the issue of family mismanagement by
Bro. Ting Salvador for having a disobedient son when in fact it is Willy Santiago as a leader and preacher
is not able to control his second illegal family who is living with him inside the chapel
compound also free-of-charge. In addition other members who were with Mr. Salvador in questioning the
amount and use of the funds were also expelled like Edwin Benales and his family and the family of Mr.
Ting Salvador.

I always complain to him the sister and the brother of her uncommonlaw wife Grace about the abuse
in using the church facilities,i.e., computers, lightings, electric fans, and also the wastefull use of water
which are consuming a considerable amount of electricity. Since the money that is used to pay
for the electric bills for the use of electricity in church activities like worship service, computers, etc. is
shouldered by our family, it is just proper for us to complain. Again, I would like to inform the reader that
all the voluntary contributions given by church members local and abroad including donations by guests
during congregations is taken wholely by Mr. Willy Santiago. Sometimes, he gives me some small amount
just to show a little concern on paying electric bills. But the abuse of his second family continues including
him.

Futhermore, on my recommendation that the voluntary contributions of church members be held by

the council organized in the church that it be used solely to pay for church expenses which was agreed
upon unanimously was finalized to be implemented. A meeting of the council was then held to discuss the
needs of the preacher Willy Santiago,i.e., where it will come from after the church contributions is taken
out of his control. I have proposed during the meeting that Willy Santiago be given a P20,000 monthly
allowance which is P8,000 higher than what he requested before which is only P12,000. Nobody opposed
but the other wife of Mr. Bal Roque interceded on Mr. Santiago's behalf that an additional P6,000 be
provided that will provide his all other needs. Again nobody opposed and therefore it is considered final.
But before the meeting adjourned, Mr. Santiago requested for another P5,000 as an emergency fund to
be used on emergency situations but he shall submit a written liquidation and justification whenever the
emergency fund is used-up before he can request for a replenishment. The average collection or the
amount of contributions in the church amounts to about P8,000 a week and is just equivalent to his
monthly allowance, so nothing is left to pay for direct expenses like electricity, water, telephone, internet,
etc.

During the council's next meeting Mr. Santiago told us that the emergency fund has been used-up
and he is requesting for a replenishment, but upon seeing the details of the liqudation, the items written
are: toll gate fees, food expenses, etc. which for educated people or even ordinary people cannot be
considered an emergency. By the way, his allowance of P26,000 is shouldered by our family, 70 %, and
the rest which is 30 % is shouldered by the family of Melvin Duag as we have agreed upon. These issue
on the emergency fund draws controversy- an abuse of discretion is committed by Mr. Santiago on the
improper use of emergency funds. When I discussed this issue to another member he branded me as a
gossiper. Another thing, Mr. Santiago has the cravings to get rich quickly whatever the means at the
expense of other people. While in the middle of the contruction of our the chapel he ordered a halt to its
construction as if he is the one spending and told me to construct a “Liquid Fertilizer Factory” at our own
lot and at our expense. For two months the construction of the factory proceeded and after it was finished
I was told to put up a capital to buy the raw materials for the fertilizer to be produced. I have spent more
than P500,000 in that factory including the cost of raw materials but it did not went well and therefore the
factory was eventually closed and the capital I invested was gone. After about a year I was requested
again to put up an additional capital for another batch of production, but this time the requirement is
bigger. I refused the request saying that my focus is now on completing the construction of the chapel for
the church. There are more issues about to discuss about Willy but due to the length of this article I will
pause temporarily. During meetings he demands that he be recognized as the highest in the council and
should be accorded respect at all circumstances and he removes and appoints officers whenever and
whoever he pleases.

But this time I can no longer tolerate his bad attitudes towards me and the other members including my
family,. He is even worse than his former teacher as he is saying as evil. With his bad and dishonorable
acts, he is unbecoming of a leader and a preacher of God who most of the time preaches in the church
topics that only delivers his own intentions and not the will of God. His desire to gain money from
preaching and to become rich has shown what kind of preacher he is- a false teacher doing the wishes of
his father the devil who is the father of lies, John 8:44, maligning persons with weak faith to believe that
he is not committing sin when he took another wife, justifying himself as clean while maligning the words
of even our Lord Jesus Christ in Mat. 19:9.

During our live radio program titled “ANG SAGOT NG BIBLIA, BASA!”, a question arrived thru tex from
a listener named John Paras. His question is this, “What is the Law of God with regards to Marriage and
Divorce?” Simultaneous with this question he read a message from his facebook acct that Giovani Ayo a
former member of ADD had already died of cancer. Mr Ayo was also separated from his wife in a manner
similar to him. Mr. Ayo's wife was also commanded by his former teacher to separate with her husband
even if he had cancer since he is the one responsible for uploading in the internet the video of the
birthday party of EFS which showed him getting as much as $400k in one night alone. Mr. Santiago
always attack his former teacher vervally especially on the way he earns money when in truth he is only
envy of him and wants to be rich also in any way he can in the guise of a preacher.

He then continued the story by telling what Ms Jane Angeles did in response to the voice or advice of
his former teacher that she together with their two children left him secretly by travelling abroad via
Singapore then eventually to Brazil where EFS now stays. He then emphasised that his wife Ms Jane
Angeles made the first move that resulted in their separation as husband and wife showing that his case
is similar to the case of Mr Giovani Ayo. Following this remarks, he then took his bible and read the
verses in Mat 19: 3-10 which reads, Mat.19:3 - “The Pharisees also came to Him, tempting Him, and
saying unto Him, is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for any cause?” Mat.19:4 – “And He answered
and said unto them, Have you not read, that He who made them at the beginning made them male and
female”, Mat.19:5 – “And said, for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to
his wife: And the two shall become one flesh” Mat:19:6 “Wherefore they are no longer two, but one flesh.
What therefore God has joined together LET NO MAN SEPARATE.” Mat.19:7 – “They say unto Him, Why
did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and put her away?” Mat.19:8 – “He said unto
them, Moses, because of the hardness of your heart allowed you to put away your wives: BUT FROM
THE BEGINNING IT WAS NOT SO.” Mat.19:9- “AND I SAY UNTO YOU, WHOEVER SHALL PUT AWAY
HIS WIFE, EXCEPT IT BE FOR FORNICATION AND SHALL MARRY ANOTHER, COMMITETH
ADULTERY: AND WHOSO MARRIETH HER WHICH IS PUT AWAY COMMITET ADULTERY.”
Mat.19:10-“His deciples say unto Him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good for the man
to marry.”

A follow-up question from the listener arrives, asking” Did Jane Angeles married another man or did she
commited adultery when she left you bringing your two children with her to abroad?” This time he avoided
to answer the question and just
repeated what he already said before that Jane herself made the first move that resulted in their
separation or their living apart. Now, about God’s Law on marriage and divorce, let us study the
scriptures, let us read and examine them. Let us dig deeper into what the scriptures say to know if Willy
Santiago is clean in the eyes of God when he took another wife after his commonlaw wife left him.

His first defense is 1 Cor 7: 15 which reads as follows- “But if the unbelieving partner depart, let him/her
depart, the brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God called us to peace.” This verse
is used by some to justify that remarriage is allowed if the unbeliever departs on his or her own will. If this
is so, it will then contradict with the following verses: Mat.5:31-32 which reads as follows-”It was also said,
that whoever divorces his wife must give
her a written notice of divorce, But I say unto you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality,
causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Also Rom.7:2
– “For the woman who is married is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if the husband is
dies, she is loosed from the law to her husband. Also 1 Cor 7:39-“The wife is bound by law as long as the
husband lives, but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to marry whom she pleases: but only in the Lord.”
Also 1 Cor 7:11–“But if the woman departs, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband:
and let not the husband put away his wife.” Both Willy Santiago and Jane Angeles his commonlaw wife
still lives and is bound by the law of marriage even if they are living separately, but in Willy’s case at
present wherein he had taken another wife with whom he had a daugther it is clear that he could be guilty
of transgression of the law.

He then again mentioned the word “Not Under Bondage” as mentioned in 1 Cor 7:15 which he
concludes to mean that he can remarry. The words “Not under Bondage” only implies that the believer if
Willy refers to himself, is not enslaved by his marriage to Jane whom he refers to as the unbeliever, which
allows the unbeliever or Jane to depart as she wishes to avoid quarrel or conflict inside their house for the
reason that, “God called us to peace”. The unbeliever therefore has the freedom to live a separate life or
be apart from her husband but not for the purpose of remarrying. We as a reader of the scriptures should
not put additional words into Paul’s mouth or in the scriptures by saying that anyone can remarry based
on the words “not under bondage”. It is not proper to add words in the scriptures as warned by God in
many instances. It is also clear in 1 Cor 7:27 saying that, “If a man is freed from his commitment to his
wife, he should not look for another wife.”

Focussing again on the words spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ in Mat. 19:3-9 which says in verse 3,
The pharisees are asking our Lord Jesus Christ that “Is it lawful for a man to put away or divorse his wife
for every cause or reason?”, meaning, all known reasons. Our Lord Jesus Christ our God then answered,
Mat 19:4- “Have you not read, that He that made them at the beginning, made them male and
female”,Mat 19:5- “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and live together with his wife
and the two shall become one flesh.” Mat 19:6- “Therefore, they are no longer two but one flesh. What
God, therefore, has joined together let no man separate.” With these verses, we can see that God is the
principal author of marriage between a male and a female, they are two persons but united by God
together into one flesh. God himself gave a warning that says, “What has God, therefore has joined
together, let no man put them apart.”

When the pharisees ask our Lord Jesus Christ another question which says, “ Why did Moses gave a
command of divorce in writing to put the wife away. Our Lord answered in verses Mat. 19:8-9 which says,
– “Moses…because of the hardness of your hearts allowed you to put away your wives: BUT FROM THE
BEGINNING IT WAS NOT SO.”
“AND I SAY UNTO YOU, WHOEVER SHALL PUT AWAY HIS WIFE, EXCEPT IT BE FOR
FORNICATION
AND SHALL MARRY ANOTHER, COMMITS ADULTERY, AND WHOSO MARRIES THE WOMAN WHO
IS
PUT AWAY DOES COMMITs ADULTERY.”
 In verse 8, our Lord Jesus Christ said that even if Moses gave a written command of divorcement to
put away their wives , it is only because of the hardness of your heart and not because it is allowed by
God. He then emphasised that in the
beginning it is not allowed by God and Jesus Christ is our Lord and God. Referring to the case of Willy
Santiago and his commonlaw wife Jane, it is in fact Willy who took another wife and made the first move
to legalize their separation by filing a written notice of divorce or “ Declaration of Nullity of Their Marriage”
in court in which in fact Jane is opposing at present. Although it cannot be denied that his wife Jane
together with their two children left him, allegedly, by listening to the voice of another male(EFS) and
going to the place where the said another male stays, does not mean that Jane already committed
adultery which will give him the liberty to remarry. The probable cause or reason that his wife Jane left
him is just to avoid daily argument and quarrel arrising from disagreement to recognize their leader which
is EFS who is being referred to by Willy as the other male, and Jane, by not filing by herself the divorce
petition, we can only see that she may still be hoping that in the future they may be reunited. But since
Willy filed first the petition for divorce or annulment of their marriage after having decided to take another
wife, he has no more plan for a future reunification. Now going back to Mat.19:3 wherein the Pharisees
ask our Lord Jesus Christ if it is lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause or simply all
reasons, our Lord answered:”AND I SAY UNTO YOU, WHOEVER SHALL PUT AWAY HIS WIFE,
EXCEPT IT BE FOR FORNICATION, AND SHALL MARRY ANOTHER, COMMITS ADULTERY, AND
WHOSO MARRIES THE WOMAN WHO IS PUT AWAY COMMITS ADULTERY.”

THE FACT REMAINS, ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES THAT WE HAVE READ AND
DISCUSSED, GOD ONLY PERMITS MAN TO REMARRY ONLY ON THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
- When the other partner dies
-When the wife commited fornication

The scripture also tells us in Mal 2:16 – “GOD HATES DIVORCE” OR Specifically, “FOR THE LORD,
THE GOD OF ISRAEL, SAID THAT HE HATES PUTTING AWAY (Divorce).

Another thing which I have noticed in the circle of Willy Santiago, first as a preacher who is supposed
to be familiar with God's Laws who should be the leadER in upholding these laws, I am regretful to see
that he is the first one commiting adultery by taking another wife for him, second, his supposed second
father-in-law Mr. Bal Roque is living with another wife Ms. Cathy Roque who is the sister of his
commonlaw wife, third his brother Francis lives also with another wife, and Ka Pedeng Hipolito his cousin
also has a very young partner at the age of 69. All of them are members of the church he organized and
with them he was able to start preaching again. In the circle of Willy Santiago that I have mentioned
before, I dont see the “'Church of God” in the picture he is painting wherein he leads as a chief preacher-
but in fact I see the atmosphere of adultery and immorality prevails around him. What I see is a church of
idolaters and the leader is Willy---Follow the Leader!!!

It can then be concluded, according to the scriptures we have read and discussed, that Willy Santiago
is guilty beyond reasonable doubt “OF TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW OF GOD” on MARRIAGE AND
DIVORCE AND ADULTERY, second adding weight to his sin is he being a preacher who should be
familiar with the Law of God, and third, he is adding fault or loophole in the Words spoken by our Lord
Jesus Christ who is undoubtedly our God. TO GOD BE THE GLORY! Amen.

Lastly to the faithful,

“Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are savage wolves”.
Mat.7:15.

“Now there were false prophets among the people, just as there also be false teachers among you,
who will secretly introduce destructive heresis and even deny the Master who bought them, bringing swift
destruction on themselves”.2Ptr2:1
"Ikaw nga na nagtuturo sa iba, hindi mo tinuturuan ang iyong sarili? Ikaw na ngangaral sa tao na huwag
magnanakaw ay nagnanakaw ka?" Roma 2:21

"Ikaw na nagsasabing ang tao ay huwag mangalunya, ay nangangalunya ka? Ikaw na nasusuklam sa
mga dios-diosan ay ninanakawan mo ang mga templo?" Roma 2:22

"Ikaw na nagmamapuri sa kautusan, sa iyong pagsuway sa kautusan ay niwawalan mo ng puri ang

DIOS?" Roma 2:23
