President Rodrigo Dutuerte is being petitioned for
impeachment and pay P3 billion in damages for the closure of the controversial “religious”
corporation from Mindanao by one of the donors of KAPA Community Ministry
Internationla Inc.
In a 20-page petition filed last Friday, by Atty. Engracio M.
Icasiano, Rhema Int'l Livelihood Foundation Inc. called Duterte of being “ignorant”,
biased for Chinese businessman, and giving favors to Pastor Apollo Quiboloy,
head of Kingdom of Jesus Christ and a competitor of KAPA Pastor Joel Apolinario
both from Davao.
Rhema filed the petition at the Supreme Court against President
Duterte and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Emilio Aquino to
revoke the closure order last June 20. However, the Supreme Court dismissed the
case on July 2.
Rhema claimed that the SEC, Philippine National Police-Criminal
Investigation and Detection Group, and National Bureau of Investigation
confiscated its personal papers, money, and properties on the proof of hearsay
or “mere opinion of Duterte.”
The Chief Executive ordered the NBI and PNP-CIDG to shut
down KAPA which has been collecting investments or “donations” of at least
P10,000.00 from each of its five million members with its promise of a 30
percent return of investment or “blessing” per month.
Duterte said it was a pyramid investment scam. The SEC
issued a list of 22 firms illegally soliciting investments through Facebook
last May 31 which included Cirfund, supposedly a foundation project of Rhema
which it claimed was accredited by the Department of Social Welfare and
Development and other local government units.
Rhema claimed, "It is very discouraging on the part of the
Petitioner Cirfund to discover that Duterte as a lawyer is ignorant of the law
and as a President (sic)."
“We are poor Mr.
President! Why, as your citizen, not protected by your own sovereign, our
Constitution and by our Court? Are the law only for the Chinese businessmen? We
donated to KAPA Ministry to Cirfund believing in the word of God,” Rhema
said.
“He (Duterte) had prejudice with them (KAPA followers)
unlike Quiboloy who had donated gifts to him. Now the President in return will
have to give favor to Quiboloy by persecuting Quiboloy’s complement (sic),” it
added.
Rhema also charged Aquino of being a stockholder of banks
that only gave three percent per annum on deposits.
Rhema clarified why it invested in Apolinario’s Ministry: “We believe that the more we give, the more
we are blessed. The basis of blessings is in the secret of giving, the more you
give, the more you received.”
“One grain of rice when it is planted to the
soil, after three months it will become 380 grams of rice. One gram of barley,
after three months, will become 2,000 grains of barley. If KAPA can grow 30
percent per month or 90 percent in three months, it is not impossible,” Rhema
added.
