Bro. Eddie Villanueva and His Concept of Pagbabago
Let me tell you a story of a great man.
When darkness was slowly enveloping this nation, a young man by the name of Eddie Villanueva stood up and preached the light of Socialism. ” You have nothing to lose but your chains“, Eddie shouted. People believed that young Bulakeno, because his words spoke of the misery of their situation, one of oppression, hunger and poverty. Socialism, for Bro. Eddie, was the answer. Revolution, says Bro. Eddie, is the key towards true liberation.
Bro. Eddie was still a student when he successfully managed to break the tight grip of a land syndicate in Bulacan. Eddie Villanueva fought them thru the strength of his Marxist reason and they all landed in jail.
Twice did the security agencies of this country imprisoned him and they tried to break his will. Yet, they did not succeed. It was only through the intercession of the Holy Spirit thru Christ that Eddie realized the futility of his struggle.
” It was Christ that arrested me“, says Eddie before a group of Pinoy Bloggers last Saturday. ” …And I was not the same again.”
Eddie realized that human liberation, for it to be complete, must involved the liberation of the soul. Liberation from wants is temporal. Freedom of the soul is everlasting.
From preaching Socialist revolution to break the chains of human bondage, to the revolution preached by Christ which centered on breaking the chains of spiritual bondage, that completes the man, Bro. Eddie Villanueva.
blogwatch.ph with patmangubatPeople listened to him and thru his Jesus is Lord Ministry, thousands, even millions of people were liberated from their bondages. Now, JIL is a worldwide ministry with over 47 chapters around the world.
Now, the Holy Spirit has stirred Bro. Eddie Villanueva’s spirit once again. Through the proddings of his fellow believers composed of those in the Bangon Pilipinas Movement, Eddie Villanueva is running for president, for the second time.
And people say, that’s a wrong decision. Why? Because many people thought that religion and the affairs of the state are two totally different and conflicting concepts.
eddiemeetspatmangubatBut, as a Christian, you are taught to love your fellow human being, you are taught to help the widows in their affliction, the orphans in their solitary and the poor in their misery, how would you do just that?
As a Christian, God wants you to fight for freedom of your fellow man, of justice for those who have none and democracy for those oppressed. Jesus Christ did that in so many instances in the Bible. And as a Christian, one must emulate the workings of Christ when he was still on this earth.
No, says Bro. Eddie Villanueva. A Christian must do the will of God which is not only preach or convert people to the true path but also try to illuminate them of their situation and unite them to fight against those who oppress the land.
That’s the reason why Bro. Eddie Villanueva is running for the presidency, because he believes that if he wins, he will be used by God as an instrument for change.
If Eddie wins the presidency, he will change things.
He will smash the syndicates that rule this land. He will use the enormous powers of the Office of the President to arrest and incarcerate those who steal the monies of the Filipino People.
He will implement a no-nonsense peace and order drive. He will make peace possible by bringing together all insurgent groups for a dialogue.
He will break the syndicate inside the Department of Education so that they will not eat up the budget given to the department. He will prioritize education.
Bro. Eddie Villanueva will re-launch the moral recovery program and see to it that the bureaucracy improves.
Bro. Eddie Villanueva will marshall all reform-minded Filipinos and unite them under the banner of True Filipino Pagbabago.
The question is—is the Filipino People really ready for such a change? With a republican mindset, Filipinos will find it hard to accept real change.
And Bro. Eddie Villanueva represents that true Filipino concept of change.
may itanong ako... supposing he really intends to do everything he has promised...
will he do it in the name of Christ?

in the name of God i believe....
