In D'X-MAN television show, a short moniker that means “The Ex-Manalista” or former members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo of Manalo (INC), Mataro was one of the main hosts who haunted his former religion, the INC with his sometimes humorous take and sardonic commentaries about the erroneous and wicked system and alleged crimes of this sect, backed by pamphlets, magazines, and even audio recordings of the voice of this sect’s executive minister, Eraño Manalo, to prove his statements and claims.
One of the controversial audio recordings that was repeatedly aired in D'X-MAN was about Manalo’s attack against his workers and ministers that allegedly had the leader saying no man was standing in the faith, and almost all are wicked.

Fellow program co-host, Jarell De Jesus agreed. She confirmed the numerous threats they are receiving from the show, such as “‘You will not stay long this year!’ That is why it is hard to think of any other group who’s behind this, but we suspect it was those from the sect where we came from.”
Lydia Manuyag, a co-host in D’X-MAN and former national treasurer of the INC, said the threats she, together with her peers are receiving are clear sign of desperation of the other camp, referring to their former religion. “Through text messages, we are threatened … such as ‘We will skin you alive’ and ‘we will be beheading you.’”
Manuyag, recounting her former tragic experience in the hands of her former affiliations, underscored her former religion mean it. Not a joke. With eyes that showed the sleepless nights she sustained over the incident, she told an interview on UNTV that threats she received from her former religion when she get baptized in ADD continues. Among these threats, she said, was the 24-hour countdown for her to return to the INC central.
“After I transferred in ADD, we were showered with bullets in our home,” said Manuyag, who has grown used already to the threats she was receiving since her momentous and surprising testimonies in the ADD program in SBN 21.
On April 18, 2003, their home in Christianville subdivision, in Rizal was sprayed with bullets which put her husband, Marciano in critical condition after given eight gunshots. Miraculously, Marciano survived and testified of the incident in the ADD program.
Even prior to his demise, two years ago, Mataro, together with fellow D'X-MAN co-hosts figured in another similar life-threatening incident in a fast food chain in Apalit, Pampanga.
There, what was supposed to be a meeting only with a family relative who was still with Mataro’s former religion, turned nasty as a heated discussion from some uninvited former INC members was being provoked against them. While Mataro and his fellow hosts attempted to leave to avoid further confrontations, it was punctuated by the beating up of these hosts. Some of their supporters were hurt as well. A certain Mr. Ferma, a legitimate INC minister, led the beatings.
