WISH DATE CONCERT SCAM: Inside MCGI and BMPI’s Alleged Tax-Dodging Concert Empire

An investigative report by MCGI Exiters Reddit Community

Behind the lights, cameras, and serenades of the Wish Date concert series lies a web of financial concealment and religious exploitation so tightly spun it now demands scrutiny from both the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and the Department of Justice (DOJ).

In a series of explosive revelations, members of the Members Church of God International (MCGI) have exposed how concert tickets for BMPI’s “Wish” events—sold for up to ₱25,000—are printed and distributed showing “₱0.00” as their face value. This is not merely a clerical oversight; it’s a red flag for tax fraud, commercial falsification, and exploitative fundraising practices disguised as religious unity.

The Scheme, Unveiled

Tickets are peddled via MCGI’s internal chat groups, with leaders urging members to buy as part of their “spiritual commitment” to Kuya Daniel Razon, CEO of BMPI and overall servant of MCGI.

Guilt-tripping messages dressed in religious language press members to donate or pledge specific amounts. One message reads: “Pagkakataon na naman po nating makagawa ng kabanalan… maipagkakaisa sa proyekto ni Kuya Daniel.”

Tickets priced between ₱2,500 to ₱25,000 are collected in cash—but the issued ticket itself displays ₱0.00.

No official receipts or paper trail are issued to members, raising suspicions of widespread underreporting.

Legal Violations & Red Flags

• Tax Evasion – NIRC Violations

• Section 254 (Tax Evasion): The ₱0.00 printing suggests intentional concealment of taxable income.

• Section 255 (Failure to File Accurate Returns): If BMPI fails to declare the real ticket income, this constitutes a criminal offense.

• Falsification of Commercial Documents – RPC Article 172

• Tickets, being commercial documents, are falsified when their printed price doesn’t reflect the actual paid amount.

• Deceptive Sales Practice – Consumer Act (RA 7394)

• Articles 50–52 prohibit deceptive packaging, pricing, and misrepresentation—precisely what’s happening when you collect ₱25,000 but issue a ticket with zero value.

BMPI, MCGI Cares, and the Captive Market Mechanism

BMPI (Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International Inc.), headed by Kuya Daniel Razon, is the media and event production arm responsible for Wish 107.5, UNTV, and the concert events.

Through MCGI, a religious captive audience is mobilized to finance BMPI’s events, under the pretense of faith-driven support.

This parasitic system thrives because of Blind religious obedience, Unquestioned financial flow and Total lack of regulatory oversight

Members are neither protected as consumers nor respected as donors—they are pressured patrons in a pay-to-prove-your-faith structure.

Visual and Written Proof

Images submitted by concerned insiders and shared via Reddit show:

Actual tickets for Wish Date: Tides marked “PHP 0.00” despite payments reaching ₱50,000 per local unit.

Group messages standardizing forced pledges tied to seat classes: GA (₱2,000), UB (₱5,000), LB (₱10,000), Patron (₱15,000), VIP (₱25,000).

Coordinated messaging urging “commitments” rather than transparent sales—leaving members no official recourse for accountability.

Call to Action: Investigate the Parasite Feeding on Faith

We enjoin the Bureau of Internal Revenue, DOJ, SEC, and Commission on Human Rights to launch a fact-finding mission into this parasitic scheme. The scale of this abuse—spiritual, financial, and legal, must no longer hide under the cloak of religion.

MCGI Exiters, a growing community of former MCGI members, stands ready to cooperate with authorities. We have the receipts, we have the stories, and we have the will to end this.

No faith should be taxed in silence. No flock should be fleeced under the name of God.

We have reached out to Kuya Daniel Razon through his official Facebook page and the KDR Music House office regarding this issue, but as of this writing, we have yet to receive any response.
