MCGI is Enabling BH Partylist’s Corrupt Agenda

In a country plagued with patronage politics, another layer of corruption is now unfolding—not from City Hall, but from the pulpit.

MCGI (Members Church of God International), under the tacit direction of Kuya Daniel Razon, is leveraging its vast organizational machinery, including its religious officers, youth units, media platforms, and even vehicles under the UNTV brand to prop up the BH Partylist’s political ambitions.

The result? A full-blown sectarian campaign operation masquerading as religious service, now exposed by a whistleblower from within MCGI’s leadership ranks.

A Religious Cult Mobilizing for Pork

What started as doctrinal preaching has evolved into political patronage. MCGI Division, District and Lokal Officers, KNC and KKTK youth servants embedded across chapters have reportedly been instructed to prioritize mobilization, logistics, and attendance for BH Partylist rallies often held on church premises and baranggay halls.

But the most egregious violation?

UNTV vehicles and News Team originally designated for public service broadcasting have been used to mobilize BH campaign sorties.

Photos and witness accounts from various provinces confirm UNTV-labeled vans and transport units shuttling volunteers, supplies, and even sound systems for BH events.

This is no longer blurred lines, it’s weaponized media infrastructure being rerouted for partisan gain.

Media Endorsement of Candidates, Is This Legal?

Under COMELEC Resolution No. 10488 and the Fair Elections Act (RA 9006): Media organizations may report on candidates, but they are prohibited from acting as campaigners or using airtime/facilities to promote one.

UNTV’s affiliation with MCGI, and its usage for campaign logistics, violates not just journalistic ethics but also the spirit of non-partisan media operations.

If a media entity allows its branding, facilities, or resources to support a candidate or partylist especially without equitable coverage to others, it may be held liable under election propaganda violations.

Use of Religious Facilities and Influence

Section 261 of the Omnibus Election Code explicitly bars religious leaders and institutions from directly or indirectly using their influence to sway votes. Promises of pork barrel-style favoritism (“lahat ng para sa atin kukunin ko”) during church-hosted rallies constitute clear sectarian electoral manipulation.

The Smoking Gun(s)

Kap Rudy Medina promises exclusive benefits to MCGI if elected. BH campaign managers openly admit MCGI is their “priority constituency.” Crisanto King Cortez, a known MCGI worker, is actively coordinating the BH campaign in Manila.

UNTV vehicles, supposed symbols of “public service,” are now glorified campaign trucks. All of these are supported by leaked documents and media, verified by a Division Officer Tipster within MCGI.

The Hypocrisy Deepens

While MCGI continues to demonize LGBT unions from its pulpits, it has aggressively endorsed BH Partylist—the main proponent of House Bill 1015, which seeks to legalize same-sex civil partnerships. So which is it? God’s word—or Daniel’s campaign?

MCGI’s endorsement of a bill it has condemned in doctrine reveals a double-faced theology:

Preach one thing, campaign for another—so long as resources and influence are secured.

What We’re Witnessing

• A religious cult converting its flock into a political vote bank.

• A media platform (UNTV) facilitating partisan activities under the guise of public service.

• A partylist nominee promising pork exclusively for one religious group.

• The clear breakdown of journalistic ethics, religious integrity, and electoral fairness

We Call On:

COMELEC: To investigate violations of election laws involving religious and media participation.

KBP (Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas): To review UNTV’s potential breach of media neutrality.

The Ombudsman: To examine graft implications from promised pork allocations.

Civil Society: To call out sectarian corruption masquerading as faith and service.

This is not public service. This is sectarian state capture.

MCGI is no longer just feeding lugaw.

It is campaigning, colluding, and corrupting democratic institutions with God’s word.
