... Rosales enumerated purchases, including “two choppers” and an “Airbus.”
She also pointed to a minister who owned several expensive condominium units in posh Bonifacio Global City.
“One minister even drives a Lamborghini,” she added.
“The families of these ministers fly on the INC Airbus for trips abroad and go on shopping sprees. They sport Louis Vuittons,” she said.
These jaw-dropping allegations cry out for investigation.
Ministers are not paid much, she said.
“We do not refer to their pay as salaries but as aid,” Rosales said.
There are ministers who started off already rich so they have cars and all, she said. But there are ministers who became wealthy along the way in questionable ways, she added.
... A major cause of dissent is Philippine Arena in Ciudad de Victoria in Bulacan province, inaugurated last year in time for INC’s 100th anniversary.
Often described as a showcase of INC’s power and wealth, the 55,000-seat Philippine Arena cost a whopping $200 million and has been declared the world’s largest indoor area by Guinness World Records.
“How can they recover the cost?” Rosales asked.
Holding concerts there that are not in keeping with INC’s teachings has raised eyebrows, she said, adding that last year’s New Year’s Eve concert by US R&B star Chris Brown that fell through was proof of how the venue was becoming a white elephant.
When INC members troop to the arena in rented buses, Rosales said, they bring packed food and drinks in order to save on expenses.
“What do the guards do? They make the people leave their drinks. The members should buy water sold by INC businessmen. Members are asked to sell tickets for events. During worship services they are asked to buy items on sale,” Rosales said.
