The MCGI Exiters movement has achieved another historic milestone as former MCGI workers in Canada, led by Gilvy Arandela and fellow exiters, publicly declared their departure from the group in solidarity with Jr. Badong and other exiter advocates worldwide.

What began as isolated awakenings has now evolved into a global liberation wave with Canada joining the growing list of countries where former MCGI members are reconnecting, rebuilding, and reclaiming their lives beyond the control of the so-called “royal family” of the church.
The Canadian chapter’s public gathering marks a new phase of the movement, one where leaving MCGI is no longer whispered in fear, but celebrated as an act of courage and conscience.
“Their bravery normalizes the exit,” said Jr. Badong, “and accelerates the cult’s economic collapse. Each member who leaves weakens the very foundation that sustained decades of exploitation.”

A Movement Evolved: From Stalemate to Breakthrough
Observers within the exiter community emphasize that today’s exodus is fundamentally different from the MCGI competitor-led movements of the past (Ang Tamang Daan, Mabuting Daan etc), where defections between religious blocs merely created a strategic stalemate.
“For every MCGI member that left, another from INC would fill the gap. It was a zero-sum game,” explained a Post-MCGI Society analyst.
But the present Exiter-led revolution is breaking that cycle.Unlike before, no Exiter has ever returned to MCGI while more and more members continue to defect each week. This creates what movement leaders describe as ‘net gains toward liberation,’ signaling an irreversible shift in the balance of influence.
Momentum and Morale at an All-Time High
The success of the Canadian Exiters adds to a long list of recent victories for the movement:
The mass exodus of the Manallo family in Cavite — 11 former MCGI workers who left the organization in a livestream with Jr. Badong.
Viral testimonies on Reddit and Facebook exposing labor exploitation, idol worship practices, and financial manipulation inside MCGI.
The growing participation of professional and overseas Exiters, whose testimonies dismantle the propaganda that “leaving will ruin your life.”
In the words of one exiter:
“The truth didn’t just set us free — it gave us back our laughter, our families, our humanity.”
The Road Ahead
With gatherings like Canada’s now emerging worldwide, the MCGI Exiters movement has indeed reached escape velocity, breaking free not only from the organization’s gravitational pull but from the culture of fear it once enforced.
As the message of freedom spreads, the MCGI’s shrinking membership base faces mounting financial strain, a blow to the empire built on tithes, offerings, and unpaid labor.
For many, this isn’t just reform. It’s redemption. And as more Exiters stand together, one thing becomes clear: there’s no turning back.
