The program currently airs live via satellite through the facilities of UHF Channel UNTV and various radio stations such as DZRH. UNTV-Radio La Verdad 1350. and 100 Radyo Natin FM Stations. While mainly broadcasting in Filipino. some English language elements were added for foreign viewers, including "Truth in Focus", "Biblically Speaking", "How Authentic the Bible is", and "Bible Guide". It also features the use of multi-lingual and multi-dialectic translations of the Bible.

The Members of the Church of God International denies several doctrines such as the Trinity [ 1 ] and salvation by grace alone. The program frequently criticizes other denominations for their doctrines, practices and what it says are false teachings, including the Catholic Church. some Christian denominations, Jehovah's Witnesses. Seventh-day Adventist Church. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and especially the Iglesia ni Cristo. (Church of Christ founded by Felix Manalo ), a Philippine-based religion.

Gawad Amerika Awards in November 2006 awarded "Most Informative Religious Program of the Year" to Ang Dating Daan for its North American broadcast. [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Suspension of broadcasting rights

On August 16, 2004, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) preventively suspended the showing of the Ang Dating Daan program for 20 days due to slander and use of offensive and obscene language by its televangelist host Eliseo Soriano. as a mean of disciplinary action. [ 6 ]

On September 27, 2004, the MTRCB extended the suspension to three months. Soriano challenged the action in court, arguing that the suspension imposed by the MTRCB constituted prior restraint on the media and that his language during the show's August 10, 2004 broadcast was not obscene and offensive. The court dismissed his case in favor of MTRCB. [ 7 ]

On June 2005, Soriano filed a motion by recommendation of the Commission on Human Rights. saying the MTRCB violated the "right to information, communication and religion" of every Filipino. [ 8 ] On April 29, 2009, The Supreme Court upheld the suspension imposed by the MTRCB, ruling that Soriano’s statements can be treated as obscene and cannot be considered as protected speech. [ 9 ]

Soriano filed a motion seeking the reversal of its April 2009 decision. The Supreme Court denied Soriano's motion and affirmed the decision with finality in 2010 by an 11-4 vote, noting that “it is a sanction that the MTRCB may validly impose under its charter without running afoul of the free speech clause." The high court reminded Soriano that his program, being aired on television, is accessible to children of all ages and therefore not appropriate for a program with a “G” or for general audience rating due to his use of vulgar language and invectives. [ 6 ] [ 10 ]

The case stemmed from a complaint filed by members of the Iglesia ni Cristo, including its minister Michael Sandoval, due to statements of Soriano aired on August 10 referring to the minister. As a result, Ang Dating Daan was asked by the Supreme Court of the Philippines to pay nearly P125 million compensation to the Iglesia Ni Cristo for libel, harassment and persecution of its members:

Lehitimong anak ng demonyo! Sinungaling! [Legitimate son of demon! Liar!] Gago ka talaga, Michael! Masahol ka pa sa putang babae, o di ba? Yung putang babae, ang gumagana lang doon yung ibaba. Dito kay Michael, ang gumagana ang itaas, o di ba? O, masahol pa sa putang babae ‘yan. Sobra ang kasinungalingan ng mga demonyong ito. [You’re really stupid, Michael! O, worse than a whore, oh right? On that whore, what only works is under her (body). In Michael('s case), it's the top (part) that works, oh right? That's worse than a whore. These demons' lies are too much (to bear). ] [ 9 ] [ 11 ]

We gladly invite you to share with us a few hours of your time to study and examine the doctrines of our Lord Jesus Christ as they are enumerated and discussed point by point by no less than today's only sensible preacher Bro. Eli Soriano in another Mass Indoctrination which will start on March 1, 2010 at 6.30 pm in all Ang Dating Daan coordinating centers or MCGI chapters across the Philippines.

Conflicts between Iglesia ni Cristo and Members Church of God International

Contents

Background [ edit ]

Beginning with the broadcast of Ang Tamang Daan in June 11, 2001, INC (through SBN 21. and later Net 25. GEM TV. and INC Cable TV) and MCGI (through SBN 21 and later UNTV Channel 37) aired their accusations and responses to each other's statements. Their television programs contributed largely to the aggravation of their relations.

On August 16, 2004, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) preventively suspended the showing of the Ang Dating Daan program for 20 days due to slander and use of offensive and obscene language by its televangelist-host Eliseo Soriano. as a mean of disciplinary action. [ 1 ]

On September 27, 2004, the MTRCB extended the suspension to three months. Soriano challenged the action in court, arguing that the suspension imposed by the MTRCB constituted prior restraint on the media and that his language during the show's August 10, 2004 broadcast was not obscene and offensive. The court dismissed his case in favor of MTRCB. [ 2 ]

On June 2005, Soriano filed a motion by recommendation of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), saying the MTRCB violated the "right to information, communication and religion" of every Filipino. [ 3 ] On April 29, 2009, The Supreme Court upheld the suspension imposed by the MTRCB, ruling that Soriano’s statements can be treated as obscene and cannot be considered as protected speech. [ 4 ]

Soriano filed a motion seeking the reversal of its April 2009 decision. The Supreme Court denied Soriano's motion and affirmed the decision with finality in 2010 by an 11-4 vote, noting that “it is a sanction that the MTRCB may validly impose under its charter without running afoul of the free speech clause." The high court reminded Soriano that his program, being aired on television, is accessible to children of all ages and therefore not appropriate for a program with a “G” or for general audience rating due to his use of vulgar language and invectives. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] However, the Commission on Human Rights continued its administrative case against the Ombudsman. stating that the MTRCB had illegally extended the suspension and thus, created a "double suspension" effect. [ 7 ]

The case stemmed from a complaint filed by members of the Iglesia ni Cristo, including its minister Michael Sandoval, due to statements of Soriano aired on August 10 referring to the minister:

Lehitimong anak ng demonyo! Sinungaling! [Legitimate son of demon! Liar!] Gago ka talaga, Michael! Masahol ka pa sa putang babae, o di ba? Yung putang babae, ang gumagana lang doon yung ibaba. Dito kay Michael, ang gumagana ang itaas, o di ba? O, masahol pa sa putang babae ‘yan. Sobra ang kasinungalingan ng mga demonyong ito. [You’re really stupid, Michael! You’re worse than a whore. These demons are lying too much.] [ 8 ] [ 9 ]

Debates [ edit ]

In attempts to end the conflict between the two groups, a number of debate arrangements had been in talks on different occasions. But while there were previous agreements made, no proper debate had actually materialized between the groups due to varying reasons.

In 2004, Manny Antonio, a worker (presbyter) of MCGI, and Abraham Cruz, an INC minister, had a signed agreement to meet for a debate conference on April 26 in the city hall of Capas, Tarlac. Present on the agreed setting was the mayor of Capas, Rey Catacutan, the representing ministers of INC, Abraham Cruz, Jose Ventilacion, Ramil Parba, Michael Sandoval, and the barangay captain of Pao, San Jose, Tarlac, who stood as the witness of the agreement signing. However, no representative from MCGI, including Antonio, turned up on the event and instead communicated through a phone call. The debate did not push through. [ 10 ]

On March 27, 2005, Soriano challenged Erano G. Manalo. then Executive Minister of Iglesia ni Cristo, to a one-on-one debate on TV and internet. The Ang Tamang Daan hosts responded that Soriano should have a debate first with the "Pope in Rome using Latin ," owing to a previous claim by Soriano that he would debate with the Pope, even in Latin. [ 11 ] Soriano views this response as an excuse, while the INC sees his challenge as a bluff. Jose Ventilacion, an INC minster and trained debater student to Manalo, subsequently called Soriano's challenge to a one-on-one debate. Soriano did not want to debate with Ventilacion. [ 12 ]

One of the hosts of Ang Tamang Daan . Ramil Parba, challenged Willy Santiago and Josel Mallari, both hosts of Ang Dating Daan . to a debate, in response to a challenge allegedly made by Santiago. [ 13 ]

Lawsuits [ edit ]

On August 2003, the Iglesia ni Cristo sued Soriano for libel after Soriano accused them of publishing explicit comic books depicting Soriano having homosexual sex. [ 14 ] In 2007, Soriano filed multiple petitions to stop the lawsuit to no avail. [ 15 ]

Soriano had since been indicted on rape charges at the regional trial court of Macabebe, Pampanga, following a complaint filed by former MCGI productions (ADDCIT) staff Daniel Veridiano that he was sexually assaulted in Apalit, Pampanga on two occasions, along with other members of MCGI. The initial provintial prosecutor of Pampanga dismissed the case due to lack of evidence, but Raul Gonzales who was then the secretary of the Philippines' Department of Justice, had the prosecutor removed from position and reinstated the case. [ 16 ] [ 17 ] The new provincial prosecutor of Pampanga rejected Soriano's defense that the accusations against him were “fabricated, baseless and malicious.” He claims that the new prosecutor was backed by the Iglesia ni Cristo. [ 18 ]

Eliseo "Ely" Soriano and two others were charged with falsification of public document at the Manila City Prosecutor's Office for allegedly faking the certificate of detention in order to post bail for his rape charges. Investigation showed that Soriano never surrendered nor was he arrested or detained at the Pandacan station on June 21, but a certificate of detention was still issued on his behalf by Pandacan Police Officer 3 June Gumaru, said Criminal Investigation and Detection Group-Manila chief Superintendent Joaquin Alva. Soriano was indicted for the rape of his male follower at the regional trial court of Macabebe, Pampanga, was sued for violation of Article 171 of the Revised Penal Code, along with a Pandacan police officer and a bondswoman. [ 19 ]

Conflict with Muslims [ edit ]

On April 3, 2005, Muslim leaders in Manila filed a 1-billion peso libel suit against Soriano for allegedly disparaging Islam and the Muslims in general, citing videos of him released to members of MCGI. The video was characterized as malicious, showing Soriano speaking irresponsible remarks and imputations of crimes against Muslims, exposing the Islamic religion "to public contempt and ridicule". [ 20 ] [ 21 ] Soriano claims the conflict has been caused by the videos aired in Ang Tamang Daan . saying the videos were not his.

Incident in Apalit [ edit ]

On April 18, 2005, MCGI members headed by former INC member Marcos Mataro scuffled after a scheduled religious debate with members of INC in a Jollibee outlet in Apalit, Pampanga. Philippines. Apalit Mayor Tirso Lacanilao said "scores were injured", but that there were no serious injuries. The MCGI radio program Ang Dating Daan (ADD) and Iglesia Ni Cristo had been trading accusations in their respective television programs. This had even led to an exchange of lawsuits. It was reported that the clash began when an ADD follower identified only as "Mataro" provoked INC followers. [ 22 ]

Local police, on orders of the town mayor had gone to the restaurant and tried to stop the debate for lack of a mayor's permit. The police had been instructed to transfer the venue of the debate either at the ADD convention center or at the INC chapel in an effort to prevent any trouble. Mataro insisted on pushing through with the debate, however, assuring no trouble. Leaders of the MCGI group said they do not trust the local policemen. Mataro shouted, which reportedly provoked some INC members to a confrontation, and led to a free-for-all. [ 23 ] [ 24 ]

On April 27, 2008, Mataro was shot dead by two unknown assailants in San Simon, Pampanga. [ 25 ] Murder charges were filed against Nickson Icao and Felizardo Lumagham, both of Macabebe, Pampanga and alleged members of INC, before the San Fernando prosecutor's office. [ 26 ] Mataro's killing could also be linked to his pending attempted homicide case before the Apalit Municipal Trial Court and Quezon City Regional Trial Court. [ 27 ]

Current Relations [ edit ]

After the suspension of Ang Dating Daan and following multiple court cases, MCGI programs eased in criticizing the INC and slowly started focusing on general preaching. Soriano went on exile and now teaches abroad devoting his time to blogging, live podcasting, chatting with his webcast audience, and answering questions raised during his bible expositions. [ 28 ] The Ang Tamang Daan in turn changed its format and has since introduced new hosts, and currently advocates the general doctrines of INC as with its other programs. Criticism from both sides have since receded.

Ang Dating Daan is produced by the Members Church of God International (MCGI), presided by Bro. Eliseo Soriano, who also hosts the religious program.

Ang Dating Daan is known for its straight-forward and frank broadcasting of the Gospel from the Bible, courtesy of Bro. Eli himself. This makes Ang Dating Daan unique among other religious programs in the country and abroad.

The program is now prominent in South and Central America under the English title, The Old Path, and dubbed in respective languages of the countries. It also airs in some parts of Europe, North America, Asia and African territories. Ang Dating Daan is also being broadcast in multimedia particularly though live streaming.

His multimedia broadcasts, which started over radio in 1980, are unceasing and are reaching nations in almost every continent.

“Sowing the Seeds of Truth on the Web.” The slogans’ mission is to accommodate English speaking foreign nationals and serve as channel for the visitors’ spiritual queries – with the assistance of the Internet.

Bro. Eli Soriano received countless recognition through his preachings. An example is The Open Web awards by Mashable. com that hailed Bro. Eli as 2010’s Most Educational to Follow with his official blog, esoriano. wordpress. com.

As Bro.

Ang Dating Daan Crops Best Religious Program Award from Gawad Amerika Award

Another milestone for Ang Dating Daan : “Best Religious Program” award from Gawad Amerika Annual Award.

In less than two weeks after the popular religious program celebrated its 31 st year anniversary it has once more obtained an international acclaim, this time from the same award-giving body that bestowed it the same honor in 2006.

Now on its 10th edition, Gawad Amerika Award recognized the program hosted by Bro Eli Soriano in a ceremony held last November 5, 2011 at Celebrity Center Foundation in Hollywood, California.

The Ang Dating Daan program, which is one of the longest-running shows on Philippine television, can now be seen on TV in India, Australia, the Middle East, Europe, Canada and the Americas. This was made possible when the program launched through Thaicom satellite last November 1, 2011, the show’s English-format program, The Old Path .

For viewers in the United States and Canada, the Galaxy 19 satellite delivers the program straight to viewers’ living rooms. From these television broadcast efforts, together with 24/7 webcasts, the humble program that sprang forth from the a bullhorn and a pulpit in Pampanga, Philippines has now reached intercontinental viewership.

Bro. Eli Soriano started preaching from town to town in Pampanga, Philippines in the 1970s. Wanting to bring the Gospel to a wider audience, he began preaching on radio. And the rest is – or to be more apt – the rest has made broadcast history.

“We hope, with the help of God, the brethren, and our countrymen, that the Ang Dating Daan will continue to air not only in the whole of the Philippines but with God’s mercy, in the whole world,” said Bro. Eli, whose preaching is today being translated in English, Spanish and Portuguese to name a few.

“Like what we always say, if we are able to do something, and if there is any glory attained, it is always for God – to God be the glory!,” added the international preacher.

Ang Dating Daan is Member Church of God International ’s award-winning religious program whose title is based on the biblical verse Jeremiah 6:16. It acquired Gawad Amerika’s “Most Informative Religious Program” twice now – in 2006 and 2011.

Ang Dating Daan Naduwag Na Naman Sa ATSI: ADD Local ng Quiapo

ADD Local ng Quiapo Naduwag sa ATSI

Note: Ang grupo ni Eli Soriano ng Ang Dating Daan ay nagreklamo sa Youtube ng copyright infringement. Inangkin nila na kanila raw ang programang ‘Ang Tinig Sa Ilang’ at ang ginamit nilang pruweba ay ang mismong logo natin. Dahil dito ay sinarhan ng Youtube ang lumang account ng ATSI at na-offline ang ating mga videos kasama na ang video na mapapanood nyo sa baba. Mabuti na lamang at may original copy pang naiwan sa ating computer at ito ay muling ini-upload natin.

Panoorin nyo po kung paano umurong ang grupo ni Eli Soriano ng Members Church of God International o mas kilala sa tawag na Ang Dating Daan sa local ng Quiapo, Maynila laban sa Ang Tinig Sa Ilang.

Ang ganitong mga pangyayari ay bunga ng mga ma-emotional na mga miembro ni Eli Soriano na labis na nasasaktan sa tuwing naipapakita natin ang mga maling aral ni Eli Soriano. Sa halip na sagutin nila o ipagtanggol ang kanilang aral, ang una nilang gagawin ay ipasubo ang kanilang sugo na nagtatago sa ibang bansa sa isang debate. At kapag tinanggap ang kanilang hamon ay ganito ang nangyayari: walang Eli Sorianong nagpakita o kahit mga local leader man lamang nila na humarap sa isang maginoong debate.

Ito ay hindi lamang isang beses o pangalawang beses na ginawa ng grupo ni Eli Soriano. Mabuti na lamang sa pagkakataong ito ay meron na tayong video upang ipakita kung paaano sila umurong sa isang maginoong pag-uusap na sila naman ang nag-paumpisa.
