1 Introduction The purpose of this publication is to introduce the reader to true and false religion as David Clarke experienced during this mission to the Philippines. The author, David Clarke, is a British subject and was a missionary seeking to fulfil his calling, as the Hon. Director of Trojan Horse International C.M. and a sent minister of the Bierton Strict and Particular Baptist Church, in 1982. By Honorary he means he wasn’t paid by any organisation. He and the Executive Director, encountered remarkable opposition from various quarters in New Bilibid Prison, Muntinlupa City Philippines between October 2002 and July 2003. The directorate were David Clarke the Nobor Direcoter and Michale Clarke the Executiv and Gordon Smith the mission pastor. Most of those who opposed the mission were men from among Asia’s most notorious criminals in the National Penitentiary, which is situated on the Reservation at Muntinlupa City, 1770, Philippines and verious Religious Volunteers (RVO’s) that worked within and without the Prison. If one were to judge the success of the mission by that amount of opposition that it experienced, then the mission was a remarkable success. Newton stated that to every force there is an equal but opposite one to oppose it and like Newton, David suggests that to every Proactive work there is and equal but opposite reaction. If this reaction were to be the measure of success, then the mission was remarkably successful. It also serves to demonstrate that God always triumphs. That God saves, not by might, but by His Spirit. That God puts to flight thousands of his enemies and empowers the one’s and two’s, that trust in Him in order to show that Salvation is truly of the Lord. And also that all things work together for good to them that love God and are the called according to His purposes. Romans 8:28. This prison comprises of three Compounds and penal farms housing over 23,550 inmates, which are all under the control of


4 INTRODUCTION the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Corrections. (BUCOR). The Chaplaincy, headed by Msgr. Helley Barrido, is responsible for all religious groups and voluntary work done within the Prison. “Death Row” is in the Maximum Security Compound where over 1200 men are housed and they are all under the sentence of death. Some are doubly confirmed and due to be put to death by lethal injection. Trojan Horse International C.M. was established in the early part of 2001 and composed of a team of two from England, David Clarke and Gordon John Smith. The mission was set up as a Christian ministry, seeking to bring assistance to Michael John Clarke, David’s older brother, and many inmates at the Prison. This was where Michael had been incarcerated, for a crime he did not commit, and was serving a prison sentence of 16 years. He had been baptised as a Christian. In an old 45-gallon US Oil drum, on the 16th September 2000 in the Maximum Compound. Michael, like his brother David, had been converted from crime to Christ whilst suffering the bitter effects of this form of injustice in the Philippines. How ever Michael’s conversion was some thirty years after David who had been brought up in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire and had been converted from crime to Christ, at the age of 20 years old, on the 116th January 1970. More details regarding Michael’s life style may be read in 2 “Trojan Warriors” This Diary narrates the second Trojan Horse Mission to the Philippines in October 2002, and records, in detail, an account of the successes and opposition to the mission. It is an eyewitness 1 A full account of David’s conversion is told in “Converted on LSD Trip” an autobiography of author. 2 The publication, “Trojan Warriors”, is David second book and speaks the full the history of the first Mission to the Philippines, which was a 5 week tour of the jails and churches, between August 22nd and September 9th 2001.

account of the opposition to the Gospel of Christ, which came from the religious and not the unbelieving world. David points out the very sinister moves of Satan and the effects upon the religious, who were not governed by the scripture, or the grace of God, which exposed them to the craft of the Devil. David points out precisely, the doctrinal and practical errors of these religious persons, and also names the individuals who were moved by Satan, to oppose the Gospel of Christ. Hence the alternative title to the diary could equally be valid and called Acts 29. David uses clear biblical terms, and Christian doctrine, to point out these errors that he encountered by the religious of this modern age, and so teaches the truth. This also shows the scripture teaching that live godly shall suffer persecution. 2 Timothy 2:12. David believes that the Lord has directed him to pen this history, for the benefit of Christian’s and Churches, who seek to fulfil their commission. That is to take the Gospel of Christ to the whole world. As a result of this mission and opposition David, with the aid of a Filipino Christian Pastor, was able to established a registered Christian ministry in the Philippines with the Securities Exchange, (SEC) called, Trojan Horse International (TULIP) Phils. Incorporated. This was to the dismay of some men who oppose the truth of Christ. These truths are expressing by the acronym of TULIP. T standing for Total Depravity of man. U standing for Unconditional election to salvation. L stands for limited atonement I stand for irresistible grace and P stands for the final perseverance of the saints. All of the above are the classical historic tenets of Christian Religion and classified by some as Calvinism. Not that Calvin was the author of these tenets-he was not-but the enemies of truth, who cannot give credit to God, generally seek to bad mouth and


6 INTRODUCTION find a name to ridicule the truth and those who seek to follow Christ. Jesus said let the wheat and tares both to grow up together and let the angels do the reaping at the end. Matthew 13: 24-30. That will be our wisdom-If this be not of God then leave it alone as it will die the death, but if it be of God then those who rise up against the work will be found to be fighting against the Lord of Glory. Acts 5:39. In like manor a Christian can tell who are tares in the field of wheat and the natural inclination is to rooted them out, but here is the wisdom of the Lord. Let both grew up together in the end the Angels will do the reaping and put the tares in the fire. The wheat will not be spoiled but gathered into the storehouse by others. David discovered that the same principles and errors in religious practice, doctrines and beleifs, where found among the religious leaders of New Bilibid Prison Christian Church (NBPCC) that he had found in the Bierton Strict and Particular Baptist Church, some 20 years 3previously. This account and Daily Diary of Trojan Horse International (Tulip) Phils. Incorporated, is true and happened in New Bilibid Prison, National Penitentiary, Muntinlupa City, Philippines, and comes in 3 parts. Part 1 between September 30th and December 31st, 2002 Part 2 between January 1st and March 24th, 2003. Part 3 between March 24th and July19 th, 2003.

2 DAILY DIARY: THE SECOND MISSION SEPTEMBER 2002

2 Daily Diary: The Second Mission September 2002 (October to March 2002/3) 30th September Monday Evening Gordon Smith and Alastair Sutherland took me to Heath Row airport having left my home, at 11 Hayling Close Fareham, at short notice. Many things were left but in the managing care of Nick Nelson. I Left Heathrow Airport at 8.30 PM GMT on the 30th September 2002, after missing the first flight booked. I Travelled to Bahrain then from Bahrain to Abu Douby the whole flight to Manila talking over 20 hours. Air travel was via Abu Douby as I missed the booked flight, and then to Manila. Michael John Clarke, my brother and an inmate at New Bilibid Prison, had sent an urgent request that I should go to the Philippines early in order to make and finalize all necessary preparations to complete our mission Objectives. The team were to follow a week later. 1st October I Arrival Manila Airport, October 2nd, Tuesday Morning. 01.30 a.m. Philippine Time and was met by Rev. Lucas Dangatan, and two of his helpers (Trojan Warriors- Fernando Perez). We took a Jeepney ride to our accommodation, offered by Sister Neola Lizardo, of McCall God’s Grace Ministries, which comprised of a lovely, primitive room, but also a large upper room laid out in preparation for the Team to stay. I considered this to be the provision of God and I was delighted with it. I spoke the peace of God on this place according to the scripture. I then recalled the scripture that when sent one was not to move from place to place and also eat what ever is set before you asking no questions.


3 OUR HOST HAD PROBLEMS 13 nd 2 October 3 Our Host Had Problems Rev. Lucas P. Dangatan informed me of the marital problem between Neola (our Host God’s Grace Ministries) and her Husband Robert Lizardo (Pastor), as had been living apart since April 2002. I spoke to Sister Neola, at a convenient time, about her separation and to put her mind at rest that I was very sympathetic to such problems and would assist them both as best I could. Sister Neola has give permission to mention these real live issues in this diary as such difficulties effect Christians as well as none believers. It turned out to be a very serious problem as it was alleged that Robert Lizardo, a former criminal and drug dealer and inmate of New Bilibid Prison, had married his wife to Sister Neola, a missionary from America, for her money. It was stated that this was his way of getting support whilst in prison, as his former wife could not do so. It was alleged that she was ordered by Robert to marry another man in order for Robert to Married Neola. It was stated that he was according. Philippines law a bigamist. This had taken place some 13 years ago. It was suggested that this could result in a 6 to 12 year prison sentence. As the story unfolds it will be seen that Robert for his own reasons sought to have David Clarke deported because he withstood him face to face seeking to assist them in their marital dispute. An action any Filipino man would find difficult to accept from a foreigner. 2nd October Wednesday We Meet The Director’s Staff I went to New Bilibid Prison and met the Assistant Director, Julia Arciaga, and the Penal Superintendent, Catalino A. Malinao. Greeted The Secretary of the Director, Bobat Diaz, and Lani her assistant.


14 3 OUR HOST HAD PROBLEMS We Meet The Inmates In NBP I met with Michael and shared our news regarding the book, Trojan Warriors, Jerusalem and the ship Redeemer, which was moored in Holland and that we were seeking to secure her use for Trojan Horse International Christian Ministries. We then met with the gathering of 47 Trojan Warriors and spoke to them about their involvement in the Teacher Training College. Michael shared the vision with all the men meeting. It was for a two story College Building with workrooms and the latest computer systems for study. The funding of which we had planned to raise though our service, which we believed we had directed from the Lord. Michael Outlined Of The Vision We outlined our vision for the Teacher Training College at New Bilibid Prison and the further proposals to establish other Collages in other Prisons throughout the world such as Mexico, and the Caribbean etc. Ken Knight was already in Mexico and had married a Mexican Christian Lady and they both desired to be involved in Christian ministry. The sister ship of the Redeemer, the Prycion was already in Mexico.. We stated that we were seeking links with a United Kingdom University to give them true academic status. I explained the advantages of such a link and that this will help them in all their future Christian Mission work. I explained my contacts with the Home Office, and the British Prison Authorities and Government Officials in the UK- Including Clare Short, the Minister for development for over seas. We stated that the objectives would be they will be trained to go not only back to their own cities upon release but to establish colleges in prisons of different countries upon their release from Prison and that they will be supported by Trojan Horse International C.M. We explained that the New Bilibid Prison Teacher Training College would be the Model for all other


3 OUR HOST HAD PROBLEMS 15 Colleges. That was what we were seeking Government approval for in order to and support the ministry. Trojan Warriors We out lined the program for the main event on the 15th October with over 60 V.I.P’s had been invited to the presentations of their books. “Trojan Warriors” an A5 paperback containing all their testimonies in 365 pages. With 66 lives giving testimonies. We realised we had missed out two testimonies and so in order not to disappoint the writer we decided to print a supplement which now includes them, one of these testimonies was from Sister Claudette and another from Brother Isagani Jr. Gani who were all Trojan Horse Staff but not prisoners. I called them outmates. Men In Attendance At The Meeting 1 Andy Dolin 2 Red Dizon 3 Domino Alacus 4 Garry Sa Rosales 5 Tedoro R. Laut 6 Sales Adic 7 Fernando Alujar 8 Bonifilo R.

We met an inmate who wished to see Shay Cullen and suggested we invite Medium inmate to the October 15th Meetings. Spoke to the Maximum Compounds inmate a message of encouragement. Robert Lizardo, Neola’s husband was present at both meetings. Robert was a former inmate of New Bilibid Prison and he and Neola has developed a ministry called MaCall’s God Grace Ministry, to assist former inmates to re locate in the free society on their release from New Bilibid Prison. Eat What Is Set Before You Asking No Questions Saturday. I stayed in Maximum Compound with Michael that night as a privilege not opened to all RVO’s. That night we were invited to a special meeting of significant people that included Mayors and leaders called Commanders. V.I.P’s were 4 See CD Video THI 01 and THI 02


3 OUR HOST HAD PROBLEMS 17 also present even from Malacanang Palace. It was an exclusive Saturday night gathering of significant men in New Bilibid Prison and so an opening for us to meet those whom we had come to help. This was not a religious group but men of the world. We were given food and drink and were accompanied by a God Marshall Rescuer, as a bodyguard. (These men are specially appointed prison inmates- there are about 240 of them and they dress in black and are allowed to carry a wooden baton to show their sign of authority). These were not allowed in to the meeting but Michael and I were invited as guests. The next day it was reported that Michael and I were drinking wine (which to the Filipino “Born Again” Christians was a bad thing) with Sinners. This report spread quickly like wild fire throughout the prison. The fact was it was not wine but probably gin, which may have been made by the inmates. I learned that it is in fact alcohol is banned in the Prison. I have since learned that inmate manufacture there own alcohol, in order not to be daunted by rule they do not respect. This drink is called Tuba. It seemed to me that these men actually run the prison. Challenged I was approached the next day by a lady pastor called “Cita” who asking had I been drinking wine. She seemed amazed that any one could do such a thing. I felt grieved in my spirit and realised that the spirit of those under Law bewitched these people. Touch not taste not etc. I.e. they had fallen from grace or had never been freed from natural religion and they sought to bind others to their religious views. Recollections Of The Strict Baptists Note. (I recall my experience as a Strict and Particular Baptist Minister in England in 1983) Published in the Philippines under the title “The Bierton Crisis” 1984. I recalled my experience in the Strict and Particular Baptist in England, over 20 years ago. They were far stricter over many other issues, than drinking wine. I can sight one


18 3 OUR HOST HAD PROBLEMS example regarding Television. It was considered wrong to own a television set and watch such programmes as this was a means of defiling the mind and conscience and that we must keep our selves unspotted from the world. I their community you were not allowed to own a television, or to watch such programs, because it brought the World into your home and it was bad example to young believers who we desired to walking up rightly and not be conformed to this worlds standards. One would be considered to be on par with a sinner, prostitute or atheist if you owned a TV set our allowed its use. They argued that if you use your liberty to watch the Television Set (even though you had a switch to switch it off) you could easily see things you should not be watching and be responsible to allowing your children and other weak believers to sin and stumble. So in order not to be a stumbling block, it was the Elders principle that no member of the Strict Baptist Church could have a Television set. If they did have one they would be put out of the Church Communion. I recall that these people allowed smoking and drinking wine but not the television Set. As a result of this I have now decided to publish my third book that is entitled “Touch not Taste not” or The Bierton Crisis 1984, in which describe in detail my succession from the Strict and Particular Baptist Church situated in Bierton, Buckinghamshire England U.K. This I wrote in 1984 and had a limited circulation. I now recall that it was exactly fourteen years to the day, after my call by grace and conversion to Christ, on the 16th January 19705, that our Church, the first and only church I had joined and became a Gospel Standard listed Church. This took place on 16th January 1984. The Third Book Needed I now realise that my third book, as mentioned above, ‘The 5

Account of my conversion from crime to Christ and be read in the publication “Converted on LSD Trip.


3 OUR HOST HAD PROBLEMS 19 Bierton Crisis” deals with these issues which have presented themselves to me during my mission to the Philippines 2002. I now realise this is all part of my ministry and calling by God to the Churches in the West and in Asia. I succeeded from the Bierton Strict and Particular Baptist Church because they had turned away from living and depending upon the Grace of Christ to another Gospel. A so-called gospel of keeping Law, traditions and customs of men. It was in fact the Law of Moses that they taught was a rule of life for the Believer and not the rule of Christ him self, which the Bible called the “Perfect Law of Liberty”. They maintained they kept the Law of Moses including the Sabbath and did not watch the Television or use an audio tape recorder to record sermons. All of this enables them kept them unspotted from the world. I was very concerned over all these issues an I was ashamed to be amongst them who should know better. Gospel Standard Baptists I had believed the Gospel Standard Strict Baptists had a good confession of faith and were the only people I knew who followed Christ in the way of the Sovereignty of God in respect of Grace and Providence. These Baptist were known, by some, as Hyper Calvinist. The whole of these issue I contended fought with for a long time period of time. This is the substance of “The Bierton Crisis” 1984. I now realise why I was directed to write about it. The publication of this book in the Philippines will help many and further the cause of Christ and His Gospel. It will be used to help many in the Philippines and elsewhere. My wife Helen Clarke has the only copy of this work but has refused to return it. She maintains it contains evidence needed by her solicitor, along with my other publication “Does the Lord Jesus want Women to rule as Elders in His Church? To show I hate women and am psychologically unsound. Sunday 6th PM.

4 TROJAN HORSE OFFICE IN PUTATAN Went to the Church of Neola with Robert a large Church with an American pastor and his wife. 8th October 4 Trojan Horse Office in Putatan Sister Neola showed us the plans of the building proposed and offered us an office on the top floor if we could build it. I was overtaken with wonder and new this was an answer of God to our much needed office requirement. I accepted as I felt this to be the provision of God and I was filled with joy wishing to communicate the offer to all and so I reported this to Michael that very next day and we made a video at the Bible Institute outlining our proposed work on the camera. I Telephoned Ray Keitz, in Poland, and invited him to come on the mission. The drawing of the new building was included in supplement of the book. It was felt Michael may even be released on Parole and I stay in the Philippines to help bring this vision to fruition. 9th October Meet the team at 1.30 AM and brought them back to Lot 30 in the Jeepney. They had waited an hour without recognizance. All went well. Gave Gordon my room as he found it difficult to get up and down. Catherine was give accommodation in the women’s quarters down stairs and Richard Kent had a lovely mosquito zapper. How To Us The Toilet Instruction on how to wash and use the comfort room was given. Toilet Paper was not the norm in the Philippines. Meet Michael (obtained photo copied of documents for the team) the next day with the team and we gave an outline of the Mission and issued document to the team. 10th October Several Homosexuals (Called Bucla’s) approached Richard and Gordon whilst they were at the prison. It was reported that two of these were converted two spoke in tongues.


4 TROJAN HORSE OFFICE IN PUTATAN 21 11 October Thursday Alistair And Superstition Met in the Kayli Arts centre and a tertiary teacher and I exchanged business cards. I also meet a pastor who was visiting the SonLight Ministry who was having treatment by an ancient skill and craft called reflexology. When I enquired what was happening Alistair whispered in my ear a warning saying, “Don’t get involved”, and walked away from the scene of the treatment. I found this rather embarrassing, as I did not know why he had said this to me. It was as though he was embarrassed and wanted to leave and take me with him. I felt that if I was in danger and the practice wrong why didn’t Alistair confront the man out right and tell him the errors that he believed him to be involved in. As a result I decided to ask the group to explain what they were doing and I then invited Alistair to state his objections to the practice. These Christian men stated that the practice was good but other practices were wrong such as smoking as cigarette smoking was evil. Alistair stated it was wrong to practice reflexology as this of occult origins. They disagreed. I felt that Alistair was being governed by some form of superstition as if he were truly convinced and he was right then why whisper in my ear in order not to be detected by these men. It was not open and above board and also he could not back his fears by scripture but rather asserted a belief that he had with no scripture to support his beliefs. (Remember the righteousness are as bold as a lion but Alistair was not bold but timid and I felt cowardly). Tricycles Can Be Dangerous On returning for Muntinlupa we all got on a Tricycle and I offered Richard a place in the carriage but he said he did not mind where he sat so he sat on the back seat and I was in the middle. Five of us were in the tricycle. We got lost and were taken along back street but Richard nearly got his legs hit, as the tricycle drive was not careful. Richard got really angry and jumped off th


22 4 TROJAN HORSE OFFICE IN PUTATAN and refused to ravel any further. He was angry and did not like the situation. Later that evening he asked why didn’t we all move out to a hotel where there were better facilities and hire proper transport and better toilets? It cam to mind immediately not to do so by the scripture to stay in the house where you peace rested and go not from house to house. I stated I would not be going. I encourage Gordon to consider his needs and felt he and Richard could move out if they needed to but left them to arrange things. I was very please with our accommodation. 11th October Friday Went to Manila to the Embassy to report my passport missing and American Express card. A Reprimand For Gordon And Alistair Both Gordon and Alistair reprimanded me for some reason as they were not happy about Michael and I arguing etc. in front of every body. Alistair said he was angry and shouted at me stating he was angry because of what I was doing wrong. He never said what. They both separately said were going to give up and leave the Ministry if things did not go their way they approved of. I stated it was wrong of them to be angry with me just because things were not going as they approved. (I felt that was manipulation). I learned that Lucas was un happy about the team staying later after 4.00 pm. We Visit The Undersecretary Of Justice I saw Hon. Under Secretary Calida and gave him a report and copies of our books. He directed us to write to the Appointment Officers for the Presidents Office. Lucas went to the Macintosh store and retreated the supplement file and burned a CD-RO. He took it to the Printers appointed by CGM. Went to the Printed and finalised the business for the supplement and discussed future plans. The supplement would be ready by Monday and the personnel were invited to the Meetings on the 15th October. Went to the Airport and established where the book were


4 TROJAN HORSE OFFICE IN PUTATAN 23 and made arrangements for Gordon to collect them on Monday AM. Met with Neola, Raymond and team in Gordon’s room had a time of prayer and Robert asked us to pray for him as he had wronged Neola? Gordon agreed to give counselling to Roberts and Neola in due course. 12th October Saturday Went with Robert to the local departmental stores to purchase 14in Portable TV, a 21in TV and equipment. Located a store which would accept my American Express Card. Printed out the invitation to the 13 gang leaders and arrived at the prison at 12 45 Pm.

Richard Kent’s Write Up From: Richard Kent – hope it’s accurate! Please correct as necessary! New Bilibid Prison is a world war 2 POW camp with over 11,000 inmates, and over 1000 on death row. There are 12 to be executed imminently – living in complete squalor, in a tiny room with bunk beds 3 deep. The open WC is in the room, and there is an appalling smell. They all seem surprisingly friendly and cheerful, and relatively normal people – which I noted before in UK and Caribbean prisons. I discovered that they were all born again Christians, after the visit last year by the team, & when we left 1 hour later, they were all baptised in the Spirit, singing in tongues very happily. The 12 disciples in the darkest hellhole in the Philippines! The leader who is due to be executed very soon was so excited that he asked all the other 100+ residents of the cage, just what it sounds like, to come & hear. The whole lot got saved. The prisoners themselves run the prison, in 13 rival gangs, with weird names like Sputniks! There is not much rivalry now, and the gangs or Brotherhoods as they like to be referred to, have the approval of the authorities, since they act like families. The prisoner “commanders” of these gangs are important and influential people, with enormous power in the prison. They are the equivalent of chairmen of the board, and live in relative luxury. There is all manner of corruption within the prison, with both male and female prostitution, drugs, pornography, etc. We spent one morning with the homosexual squad, some of who look just like women – we were all deceived! Anyway, 2 got saved & filled with the Spirit. We went from commander to commander & most got saved. The Muslims would not see us. Yesterday we had a meeting in the central


4 TROJAN HORSE OFFICE IN PUTATAN 25 Officer of the Day office, overlooking the whole prison. There were about 20 commanders, mayors and vice commanders. We had a mini Pentecost, with the whole lot, including the 3 guards, getting saved & baptised in the Spirit. The team here were ecstatic! We go to other prisons on the island next week, and tonight to a very large American church! We are staying in the “ half-way house” for ex –prisoners. I’m on a chaise long at the top of the house in the “church” there. All very embarrassing because it broke with my weight (as did the beds of 2 others) so I had to spend £25 on a stronger one they are only designed for tiny Philippines. The toilet facilities are extremely trying, but we are getting used to it! It is incredibly hot and humid here. The food is mostly rice, eggs & chicken – its OK! There are 7 on the team with David’s brother, Michael in the prison. David, Gordon (the pastor), Alistair (a merchant navy captain), and Andy and Cathy, 2 young people from the UK. A lovely lady from Monte Carlo got saved on the plane coming out, & loads of assorted taxi drivers, waitresses, neighbours, shop keepers, and people everywhere! It was a good meeting and we were very privileged to see God work in such a remarkable way. Left the prison at 4.00 pm and it was remarked how they all noticed Michael had changed remarkably since the day before. End. 12th October Saturday (continued) Alistair Went To Gani’s Home I purchased the 14in TV and fan and took them to the prison. We left the TV with the Officer in Charge until the next day. Michael had said he felt the TV would be just the birthday present for him. Richard Kent gave his presentation on the Noah’s Ark, Mount Sinai, Horeb, Sodom and Gomorrah and the Ark of the Covenant. It was a good meeting.

4 TROJAN HORSE OFFICE IN PUTATAN 13 October Sunday Televised A Teaching Session Went to New Bilibid Prison with videotapes. Andy Dolin was to preach on the subject of the eternal security of the saints. We had determined to record this. This was done and the tape set aside for editing. 13th October Sunday I had determined to go with Neola to her church that evening with the team to introduce them. I arrived back from the prison having shopped with Robert that day for the televisions and fan and equipments. Bought gifts (imitation Guchi watches) for Catherine, Neola and her lady helper. We took the 16 in monitor to the prison and left it with the guard for the next day. Robert had been very helpful. Robert left me the prison. I was suggested I did not leave my mobile phone at the prison so Robert looked after it. And I made my own way back to Lot 30. I arrived back at 5.20 pm to fin the team had gone. I spoke to Joe and he said he would take me when another came back to guard the place. Gani and Alistair then arrived at 5.45 so we decided to go together with Gani. We arrived at the New Life Church too early for the end but never mind. I was agreed to take Neola out for a meal so we agreed to meet at Mac Donald’s in Fair Mall. Gani and I went to Grand Mall to obtain all the video leads and equipment the next day. Went to meet the others at Fair Mall but was gone 9.15 and the Mall was closing. Gani Suggested I go home and stay with him as it was getting late. I was not feeling too good that nigh. I asked him to text Lucas to inform them where I was and what we were doing as I did not have my phone. He agreed to do it. 14th October I Feel ill I had stayed at Gani’s home that night – I was not feeling well but felt how ever I felt better after sleep- flue hot etc dehydrated. Gani took me to Manila on the bus even though I had told him th


5 NEW BILIBID PRISON SPECIAL EVENT 27 I needed to be at the prison by 10.00 am. To give Michael all the equipment. He informed on root it would take an hour. I am sure he did not hear what I wanted or he must have ignored me. This could only happen in the Philippines. On root I suggested since we were at the DOJ, I get my pass port sorted this we did. We returned to Gani’s and he had his mail and he then put me on the Jeepney to Muntinlupa. I was able to take in the TV, which we had left the night before. Sorted out last minute event and Michael requested I return at 6.00 am with the team and have a relaxing breakfast before briefing us all for the next day. A problem with Robert On arriving home at lot 30 Neola informed me of her problem with Robert. I said I would sort it out, as we wanted her to be involved in the Women’s Correctional and visiting the prisons. Robert had been a great help in many ways but this was now a problem. I had determined to bring it to the attention of the others at a convenient season. 5 New Bilibid Prison Special Event 15th October I went early a (6.00) Spoke with CGM about Red Dixon’s Story and we agreed to take this further. Event went OK some difficulties due to problems of equipment. In the P.M. we had some fun with all inmates. This however was to the dismay of some because they considered we were singing “Worldly Songs” as they put it and to them it was not right. Isagani (Gani as he was called) had expressed that he was a former womaniser and singer in night clubs before he was a Christian and that was his speciality and he felt that to sing songs like we had done using the Karaoke system was for him going back wards. We had decided to do things as we felt appropiate and that was to use secular songs like we had done on the road


28 5 NEW BILIBID PRISON SPECIAL EVENT show to gain the attention of the men we were seeking to reach and communicant with. Gani felt we should be using Christian songs only as to us secular songs was to serve his old nature acting as a former womanised and drunkard. He put it that if he did it would b considered by him to be “acting out his old nature”. See Gani’s testimony as published in Trojan Warriors. I believed Isagani to be wrong as he was seeking to impose his religious views on others. A Problem with Gani Gani was a religious volunteer (RVO) like Lucas P. Dangatan, although Lucas was the senior Pastor of NBPTI and could do and arrange many things that Gani could not do. Gani was a member of SonLight Ministries of which he Senior Pastor was Dr. Oliver Tuico and was use to visiting the prison between the hours of 8.00 am and 4.00 pm on Saturdays. We had come not as Religious Volunteers but as The Trojan Horse Mission to the Philippines starting at New Bilibid Prison. Lucas was our President and also the President of the Teacher Training College and he had many men working with him and for the Trojan Horse Mission of which I was the Director. Michael had in fact taken on the Job as Executive Director based in the Philippines in order to get the job done. Order of Command Due to the problems of communications between England and the Prison it was necessary to alter the way decisions were made. It was agreed between Michael and I through Lucas, as he sent the e-mails, they he would take over as Executive Director of the Road Show and plan the 7-day tour of the Philippine Jails etc. That he should be responsible for all the administration and organization in the Philippines working along side Lucas P Dangatan. That I would be, to put it in his words, The Admiral of the fleet (as the hon. Director of Trojan Horse International) but he is the Captain of the ship. As captain he would be responsible to realise the vision of the Road Show and the 7-day tour of the


5 NEW BILIBID PRISON SPECIAL EVENT 29 Philippine Jails. This we all agreed to and Lucas was Party too as it was he who did all the correspondence with me via e-mail. To achieve this Michael shared the Office of Lucas Dangatan with a few problems (in fact many problem from Lucas’s staff). Hatred was generated and envy and pride amongst man me against Michael and much evil planned and plotted, as was demonstrated on a number of occasions, witnessed by me and testified to buy many. Stupidity and Permissions We had full permissions from the DOJ to run the Road Show all day and night if need be subject to the Officer In Charge who was Mr. Malino (Malino means clear or transparent) When it came to the operation of the Public Address system there was no electricity supply. The Engineer told us we had to put in a request. We were amazed at this stupidity and we began to feel that it was deliberately so done as to stop the show. Eventually Michael (being the Executive Director of (THICM) spoke with OIC Malabo and got the supply connected and had arranged for us to have extra time in the evening due to the delay that his men had caused through them being difficult and being un cooperative. I learned later that NBTI had had a problem with the Engineer regarding the supply of Electricity as will be seen in due course, Enmity Had Arisen In NBPTI When the band had finished playing we decided to do things differently but the band wanted to do things another way. So Michael said no to their ideas and gave Andy the job to sort out the sound etc. Andy had offered to sort out the sound levels etc as he knew all about audio and video set ups. Michael told the band we did not need them. They walked off in a huff because they wanted to do music with loud a loud base guitar and distorted sounds. Andy felt he could rearrange this much better with the equipment that we had.


30

5 NEW BILIBID PRISON SPECIAL EVENT Nbpcc Musicians Work To Rule Strike We had Problems with the amplifiers as the band disconnected all the wires from their equipment when Michael had asked them to leave things to Andy. They walked off in anger and went to lunch. It was felt they did it deliberately because when they were asked to help set it back up they said they were now at lunch. I now realise they too had not liked us using alternative music to their so-called Christian music. Andy MacDonnell Frustrated Andy did what he could to set things up but the remaining Filipino’s, those not of NBPCC kept saying he was doing it wrong. Andy got angry and wanted me to control them as they did not listen to him and as a result he felt like walking out. He stated that perhaps he should leave it to them as he could not do the job that he wanted to do through the frustration he was experiencing. This experienced due to their inability to understand and cooperate with Andy who was an Audio technician and was quite able to sort the sound system out provide he got their help and cooperation. I now realise that the NBPCC men acted in a deliberate way in an attempt to sabotage the event. Andy was so frustrated he got angry with me because he wanted me to control all the other Filipino’s who wanted to sort out the problem another way. Their way was an inferior way because Andy knew how to use master and slave amplifiers but the Filipinos did not. Andy needed a cigarette to calm his nerves but he had promised Neola not to smoke in her house, for here sake, as this he was told put a stumbling block amongst weaker believers. It was also considered to be worldly action by the born again Christians at NBTCC and Gani. These men from NBPTI/NBPCC had gone on strike because things did not go the way they wanted to do things. They wanted to rule the ship it was apparent. Andy then allowed the other Filipino’s to do it their way, as he was unable to work in under their condition as they kept interfering saying things should be done another way.


5 NEW BILIBID PRISON SPECIAL EVENT 31 As a result we had to suffer an inferior sound system. We had to work with what we had got and could achieve. I could not do the job through lack of knowledge but I had to keep the road show going with the help from where it came. The Road Show went on with Andy leaving things to the other Filipino’s who wired up the PA through the Karaoke machine to get a level of sound that we could work with. We then organised a Christian Singing Competition. All songs had Christian lyrics either made up by the inmates or copied known songs in Tagialog. We decided to give money prized. Red Dizon helped with this and so did Rod Stewart. No Program Order “Off The Cuff ” Action No one had been informed of the program of events, as Michael had said he wanted it to be a road show and all off the cuff and as directed by the Spirit of God. He just wanted to introduce the team to New Bilibid Prison and state the purpose of our visit. All follow up what could be done by the team whenever they wished and saw the opportunity after the event. His plan was to sew the seed for the future, not to capitalize on every event like most Christians seem to do. We did not wish to buttonhole people on every occasion with the “Gospel”. I was happy to give it a try but the team did not appear to understand this method of working. How ever the team seemed unimpressed, as they liked things to be written down and to a set program. Gifts were given to the team and thanks exchanged and the books were distributed to each Trojan Warrior. We in fact invited a lady from SonLight Ministries to distribute the books to the inmates. We were disappointed because we had special permission for the 22 men from Death Row to come and receive their copy of Trojan Warriors but they never showed up. Michael felt this again was deliberate policy of not cooperation. I felt we had a good day considering none of us were at all sure what was about to take place next or when we should of


32 5 NEW BILIBID PRISON SPECIAL EVENT leave or any thing. Stolen Items 20 books went missing. 3 remote controls went missing and it was muted later that this was out of retaliation to Michael and our different way of doing things. I had hassle with the guard because Andy had not reported he had taken out his camera and video camera out. I agreed to see the Officer in charge the next day to sort out the problems we had been having. Break Of Order Michael had arranged for the team to visit the local Karaoke to have some fun with the inmates that evening and for the team to speak to these inmates and so he had arranged this with the Owner of the Karaoke bar and the Officer in Charge that we were to stay late. As it was a special event. Michael had cleared this with the OIC, as mentioned earlier but due to the secret actions of Gani who did not act in conjunction with us the team opposed this. The team had been informed by Gani that they must leave by 4.00 pm other wise it would put the other RVO’s at a disadvantage and bring them under disrepute. I realised that Gani was afraid he might be encourage to sing worldly songs and to do Jail House Rock New Bilibid Style. The team had been persuaded by some one that they must leave at 4.00 pm or not stay to the event at the Karaoke by some one and so they said to me I must go with them. I was prepared to stay and knew the plans we had made because Michael had arranged things with the Officer in Charge Malino and I felt it was a good opportunity for the team to get to know these inmates after the main event that day. Other had different ideas and so a conflict had arisen. Shenanigans The team, Gordon, Richard Kent, Alistair and Andy stated that they were leaving and not staying. They said I must leave because I was tired and needed a rest. Alistair then referred to


5 NEW BILIBID PRISON SPECIAL EVENT 33 the activities that we had arranged as “Shenanigans” which I took to be a derogator slant on or endeavours to reach men for Christ. It appeared from the way Alistair had expressed himself that that it was beneath him to sink that low. I realised then that some one had said something to them and they were ignoring or going against what we the Directorate had planned. This was an example of men seeking to take control. I was prepared to stay and work as things had been planned but decided to go along with the team as to not disturb things too much. (I realise now I was wrong to go along with them and should have continued as we had planned with or without the team) The reason being because Alistair, Andy and Gordon did same thing again and acted in ways not approved of by me and without consulting me. It was also repeated in a near mutiny at Olongapo Beach, which I relate later. Michael Was Left Michael was left on his own having made all the arrangements with the Karaoke man in disarray. No consideration had been given to this by the team. In fact they had worked against him because they saw the entire arrangement-taking place and they knew what was to happen that evening. This happened because as some one did not want to be involved. It was than I realised that the team was being directed by someone else, do things they way they wanted things to be done. I felt it happened that night dissention took place and a wound was opened. I was told the next day that Lucas was concerned because he would get into trouble being an RVO only. They he had sought the permission and his work was in jeopardy if we were to stay late etc. We were not RVO’s in the true sense but our own Religious Volunteer Group under the control of the Prison Chaplaincy and not the NBPCC-this was the real confusion. I was not ordinary RVO’s and our Trojan Horse International CM was a separate RVG to Lucas P Dangatan and the NBPCC


34 5 NEW BILIBID PRISON SPECIAL EVENT however some had taken it into their minds that were we were just RVO’s like them. They felt they must break rank and do things the way that had always done before in order not to break their rules. This was a problem- it was one of authority. Who was in control? Or should I say who was seeking to take control? Was it the team, Gani, Lucas, Gordon Richard or who? An Omission of Lucas P Dangatan It was later revealed that Lucas P. Dangatan Jr. had, for some reason, which has not yet been explained, registered the Trojan Horse International CM ministry with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) as he had promised to do and had been funded to do so earlier that year. He had informed me that the ministry would be registered by January 2001. I had sent him the money to do this and as such were would have been like many other RVG group under the direct control of The Prison Chaplaincy. I was under the impression this had all been arranged and lead to believe things had been done according to the agreed terms. Instead Lucas had not done what he had promised and the Php. 50,000.00 used for other purposes. He had led me to believe, in all my correspondence that Trojan Horse International had it’s own identity. How ever Lucas had brought in The Trojan Horse into New Bilibid Prison under his own name and the NBPCC group and this was the reason and cause of the dispute. They wanted things to go their way that was clearly different to the way we steered things. We had clear direction as to how were to achieve our declared objective. Our objectives were different and so they were upset. Democratic It was put to me later, by Andy, that we should be democratic in the way we decided to do things. I disagreed as I was the director of the Mission and was responsible for all things done in the name of Trojan Horse. I had directed all the finances and was responsible for them, not Lucas or any one else etc. I hand worked with Lucas and Michael on the plans and schedules


5 NEW BILIBID PRISON SPECIAL EVENT 35 for the whole of that year. I had a mission directive to fulfil and schedule to keep they had only been invited as guest on the team to be involved not to direct events. It was important to be subject to the Mission Objectives as decided by the Directorate. They were free to come or go not to take over when they chose too. This was the new contention and it manifested it self on a few occasions later on during the mission. Robert Lizardo and Neola our Host On my return home I sought the mind of God with reference Robert and Neola and I received an answer, which I felt write to put to Neola and not involve the team. I had said within my self I did not wish to Judge this issue but would do so if need be but wanted the Wisdom of Solomon. I believe God gave me the answer. On my arrival I inform Neola to the solution and suggested a way forward. She informed me that Gordon and the others were dealing with it at that moment and perhaps I should go and see them. The Team Decided A Wrong Way Of Authority Andy informed me they had sorted the problem with Robert Lizardo out as a team and it was decided Robert was not to come with us on the 7-day tour, as it would not be right. I expressed I felt it a wrong decision. I agree to share my view with the team, as I believe I had the answer of God. It was suggested that I ought not to change the things that have been agreed by the team. I learned that Gordon, Alistair, and Andy had (I assumed Neola and Catherine) had accepted Gordon was correct in his under standing of things and that it would be wrong of me to interfere if I disagreed. Richard Kent was not involved as he too had been away. I discussed with Andy methods of management and he had expressed he wanted to submit himself to a leader. I expressed to Andy that I was not his personal leader as he was under Christ and not me. He could do what must be done. I was only the Director of the Mission. That this was a policy suggested by


36 5 NEW BILIBID PRISON SPECIAL EVENT Richard -let us submit one to another not to a single man. Andy said no he felt it was right to submit to a man as this was a mark of humility. Gordon Was Wrong I felt Gordon’s decision was wrong as such issues should have been discussed with me and as a team and not done in a corner. I felt such dealings gave a fresh occasion for the devil in Robert’s life and we should consider the weaker brethren. They Said I Was Wrong I was told I was wrong and I didn’t listen that this was one of my problems. I maintained I was very swift to hear - according to the scripture - so swift I head as soon as the words were spoke to me. So swift they had not realised I had heard what was said. It so happened that before they realised it I had a different point of view. I suggested I should, in future, wait to the next day to give my answer to such problems and this would help them not conclude I appeared to have an answer to every thong. I would try and do, as it appears to some I am always right and argued about every thing. It was suggested that I had a wrong spirit and was demonised. I felt I must try to be slow to respond with my views and opinions in order for others not to get the wrong picture. A Great Opportunity Missed I asked Gordon how he had got on that day and he said alright but stated that he believed we had missed out on a great opportunity to preach the Gospel. I was astonished at his response because we had opened a great door of opportunity, for the whole team, for follow up work to many thousands of prisoners for the coming days. I note that I reminded the team the next day they had a great opportunity to follow up that day that we had done our best as poorly and as disapprovingly as some may think but in faith but now they had the opportunity to follow through. I note none went to the prison the next day. (Why was that? I now realise they did not see the vision we had


5 NEW BILIBID PRISON SPECIAL EVENT 37 been working too. I did say wistfully, after a comment by Alistair who stating in rather an awkward tone that the event was only successful because of the team’s prayerful exercise the day previously and that our performances were questionable, that I felt that the team’s prayer had been answered, as the even was successful in spite of Michael and I’s failures. I suggested that the next day the team could capitalize on the success of the event and visit and speak freely to as many inmates as they wished too. They through the event they been introduced to the whole prison and they could now possible do their own things as they were lead by God and arrangements such as follow up- writing to inmates- arrangements for another year etc. I suggested that our failure could be turned too good and that would help. De-Briefing Session I asked Lucas by text and Dr. Poloc to attention a de- brief and brief meeting at NBPTI at 2.00 pm the next day. I suggested that another chairperson took the meeting, as we needed to discuss and agree how we were going to handle all the events next week on our own. Michael had managed his event and now we were to do the rest, as he could not come. We needed reports from Michael, Dr. Poloc and Lucas. We needed feedback etc and what changes had to be made. This was to enable us to accommodate plan and prepare to meet the objectives. Andy said he would be prepared to do it. Richard said he would do as he was asked and did not wish to get involved in problem discussions. 16th October Morning Went early to New Bilibid Prison. Our meeting to de brief and brief was due at 2.00 pm. I was asked by the Assistant Director it our team would prepare video footage of our team coming to the Prison and going through the Prison Security Assistant Director Arciaga said it would be good for the Filipino


38 5 NEW BILIBID PRISON SPECIAL EVENT people to see us westerners working along side the Prison and complying with there security policy. Michael shared his further vision and points of observations and developments. We agreed on all points. Michael wrote a letter to the Assistant Director agreeing to make the video footage at 1.30 pm the next day with the team. Our 2.00 pm meeting began at 2.30 Michael outlined the schedule all were present except Richard. Andy was given copies of all letters sent to the various jails. Etc and read them out. It was confirmed that we were to go to the women’s correctional on the 26th October. Visited Austin and realised he was to be our new Head of School in Archaeology and Biblical History. Andy then took the chair to finish of business that needed to be done. Faxed Maurice Boland informing him of our Mission. Neola Had A Problem 16th October Evening Neola expressed a wish to solve the problem with her going to America and leaving the people in her care on their own. I suggested we try and resolve the issues. By our Trojan Warrior Teachers resolving the problem with them biblically. It was suggested we involve the Christian Hill Boys and Gang leaders at NBP. We had a briefing meeting and during that meeting I sacked Michael from his former position and he left in an upset state of mind. I am sure the people did not realise why I so acted. I felt Michael’s manor was wrong as he upset so many people when they crossed him. I felt it required me to act in a public way to show I was directing things and not him. He was upset but the next day we talked about it and things were straightened. Our team were just not used to us being to straight forward and down to the point. I recall that both Michael and I are both from the north of England and we can be very blunt Lancasterians,


6 THE 7-DAY TOUR ANGELES CITY 39 a manor that is unknown in the South of England- a matter of culture not morals. I think the Trojan Warriors were pleased with my actions. I then went with Lucas to the Embassy to get my Passport in the end I had to send it via DHL mail Left Neola Camera in the armoury saw Michael before we left. 15 left in the Jeepney owned by Fernando Perez. Our Vice President. Spoke to Ray Keitz in Poland who had agreed to come to the Philippines on Mission after the 26th October 2002. This was real good news and Pastor Lucas and Neola were pleased. 6 The 7-day Tour Angeles City 17th October Thursday We arrived and booked in to Vistillana Hotel, (Tel: 892-5003 A.C. 322-0519-322-5075, Dau Line 332-1408, a Chinese owned establishment, (P200 per night per double room). They looked after us well. I looked after Gordon’s feet. The team members were: Lucas Dangatan Jr, William Poloc, Ptr. Manny Mathias, Ptr. Gani M. Obispo, Jr., Ptr. Fernando Perez, Bro. Ernie Fornoles, Richard Kent, Andy McDonnell, Katherine Farr, Neola Lizardo, Marsha and Rommel Lizardo, and Rev. Gordon Smith David Clarke. 18th Friday We contacted Bishop Abel Forto and his wife made an appointment to meet us at 12.00 noon. We were very pleased. We conducted devotions and our daily meeting in the Hotel Lounge and some Australians were listening to what we were saying. Gordon took advantage of the situation and spoke the gospel to all who could hear. Bishops Forto’s wife, Tessie and son came to see us at 1.00 pm. They were very please to see us and asked us to come to them on Saturday to dinner and stay the night. William and Lucas made all the arrangement and


40 6 THE 7-DAY TOUR ANGELES CITY informed the team. Richard was not at the meeting. We went to Olongapo that afternoon. A three-hour drive and got a puncture on the way. Richard took advantage to speak to local people about the Lord. We arrived in Baloy Beach in the evening and booked into Harry Hoost and Carlito’s place P650 per night for a double room. 19th October Saturday Neola asked if she could stay behind and go directly to Baguio, as she was not to well. I felt that it would be good if all should rest and Lucas and I do the work that day. They could travel to Angeles City Church on Sunday Morning in the Jeepney. This they agreed was appropriate and Lucas and I left to conduct business. Harry’s wife took us in her car to visited Olongapo City Jail and left information for the new warden. She then took us to The Born Again Church in Olongapo City and we meet the remnant of Samuel Vecina’s Church. Four ladies were running things. The name are: Eliza Pornias, Joy Brazil, Araceli Yongao and Lorna Angeles of Reborn Christian Ministries No.35 21st West BajacBajac Olongapo City Tel. No.2248495 code 2200. We Showed The Video And They Were Very Pleased It was agreed we should come back and conduct a celebration and memorial service for Samuel and Jocelyn and Prayer Mountain. They were very please, Lady Sister agreed to take my letter and book to Cynthia Cajudo the Vice mayor. Also she would contact the new Full gospel Men’s Fellowship. Mutiny Expected Lucas was unable to draw P20, 000 from the ATM to pay the expenses. It kept the money. We had sufficient to take the team to Angeles and stay the night at Bishop Forto’s home but not to pay hotel fees at Carlito’s Place at Baloy for the night. I asked Harry to foot the bill until the next week. He said he was unable to do so.


6 THE 7-DAY TOUR ANGELES CITY 41 He said Carlito would have to accept a cheque. I suggested Andy came with the team to Olongapo with an assistant from Baloy to collect the cheque and return to Baloy and pay the bill for Andy, Neola and her daughter and Catherine. Gordon said Richard had had a vision on me and Lucas sitting with them for a meal that evening at Harry’s restaurant. I realised what I should do and agreed to go back the Harry’s Restaurant to resolve this problem. Lucas was upset because he felt all his plans were being underminded, that Bishop Forto would be disappointed if we do not go. That we had the money to do all we had planned that he felt some on was being stubborn. We returned and our team spoke about the problems. Andy stated They Had A Vision We Must Obey God That the money would not be released until the problem sorted. Gordon summarized the problem and when asked to advise he told the team go along with the Director and Lucas. He stated that some people observed that of all the 60 VIP’s which were invited none actually turned up that this was disconcerting to some and showed lack of confidence in the Trojan Horse Mission. It was my note that the most VIP was there- in fact all Trojan warriors and also the unseen guest our lord Jesus Christ. In fact on reflection and observation I See Satan I now saw Satan was there and his hosts were infecting men’s minds with unclean thoughts. I could see how Satan used men’s, arrogance and their judgmental spirit. People were murmuring and judging the methods, which they did not approve of and sin had been imputed to others as they judged their motives were not of God. This is satanic attack. Again it was stubbornness such as the issue with alcohol the Christians at NBP were intransigent and expressed themselves


42 6 THE 7-DAY TOUR ANGELES CITY by saying we know what is best, we do not drink alcohol this is an offence to all Christians and us. So in opposition to scripture they judged others that were not like them. This was a spirit of criticism and a sinister spirit. Please recall that Jesus said “nothing that can enter the man, by the mouth, can defile the man, this is because such meat and drink all ends up in the toilet�. Christians have had this kind of problem because Satan ensnares them when they think themselves wiser than scripture. They judge also singing music (worldly songs- as they put it- saying it is wrong to sing them and also certain foods. These people, I now believe are them selves demonised, and became unclean by acting wrongly and judging with evil thoughts and speaking evil about other who are free to act before God in faith with a good conscience. Please note that Jesus ate (eat past tense) with sinners and the sinner received and heard the Gospel well, whilst they (the self righteous religious) condemned and criticised. No Regard To Men I am one who regards not man and will cast out such demons from Christian whether they will hear or forbear. I have had instruction not to put new wine in old wins skins, as the old skins cannot contain the new wine. They will burst and both will be ruined. Now the Gospel true into new believers and but being careful not to infect them with falsehood such as food and drink and music are wrong Non none of these things are wrong but the human heart defiles the man not the food drink of music. (My observation was that many VIP were invited to the wedding feast in the scripture but all made their excuses in the end the servants were told to go into the high ways and by ways and compel men to come in. I felt this was sinister and the vision not a directive but a trial. I maintained we should keep out promises and commitments, take care of our sick and keep to the schedule, that I would be


6 THE 7-DAY TOUR ANGELES CITY 43 doing so with our without those who disagreed. God not the author of confusion I maintained God was not the author of confusion but Satan was. I believed a spirit of stubbornness was amongst them. How ever I would resist it come what may. I agree to seek credit for the sick with Harry. Andy said he was not sick but wished to stay-however he had no money. I said I would not be paying money out except for the sick Richard agreed to help them all and asked if I would foot the bill at a later date. I said Michael would not be doing so but I would. They agreed to go to Baguio City on their own but Richard said he would not be going and would see us in Muntinlupa on Friday. We arrived at Bishop Avel Forto late that evening and had a lovely room where we all slept. 20th October The Co-Operative Building Society Vision We went to the morning meeting and shared our mission with the Church the Bishop was very please to have us and invited all the pastor to the Angeles City ministers conference later in the year. In the morning Gordon gave shared an idea to form a building society for Trojan Horse warriors that all our men should own and build their own lots and houses. We arrived in Baguio City at 10.30 it is a lovely place up in the mountains and the whether is cold just right for me to work all day long in the cool. We met William Poloc wife and sheared all that had gone on. We shared the same vision to establish a church and office for William to work inn Baguio City as a Trojan Warrior. 21st October Typed news release for the local paper, radio and television programs. William’s wife and son distributed the letters. A Complaint It was expressed again (I believe by Gani) that the singing of popular songs was in fact a stumbling block to the Philippine


44 6 THE 7-DAY TOUR ANGELES CITY Chrisitan and people and locals felt is wrong as it was a bad example as it might be a stumbling block to those wishing to following Christ. I realised that that was not the time to discus the issue as it was a distraction sent by Satan. I realised that this was exactly the principle of mans religion that I had encountered in the Strict Baptist’s who maintain the television set was wrong as it brought the World into the home And it was wrong for a believer to have a TV set as it would be a stumbling block to them and cause them to think it is OK to watch TV. The Strict Baptist’s I am talking about excommunicate those who refuse to get rid of their TV sets. Team went to Baguio City Jail and Andy, Catherine, Lucas and Neola all spoke and shared testimony and song. I felt constrained to list all the name of those present so I informed Gani to collect their names. I spoke and encouraged men to follow Christ. Many expressed a desire to be Christians and follow Christ so I informed them we would baptise them- if convenient. See the documentary video. Virtue left me It was a good meeting I felt sensed of the presence of God in power. One hour later I felt drained of energy as though strength had gone from me. I was later able to sleep for 3 hours. We were able to video the meeting it was noticed how ever that Gani had not translated my words correctly but changed them. It was a significant change. I had command ed the men who had believed in the Lord Jesus to be baptized in water then on the spot and then but he had said they could be baptised in the Holy Spirit. 23rd October Obtained copies of William’s Testimony to us as a tract. Took video footage of his home, which may be used, as his office and function room. I.e. build a Trojan Warrior Office at Baguio City. Went to the prison and Benguet District jail where the terrorists were housed in cells. There were thirteen cells in each


7 GORDON CONTRACTS PNEUMONIA 45 between 13 to 18 men. One was reserved for the Old Age people. The meeting went well Andy, Catherine Gordon Gani and other spoke. Gordon asked me if I could change the program so that he could speak at the end to conclude the meeting (I did not know for what reason and did not ask but felt it wrong to change things and stated it was not up to me) n but I felt it only right to submit the request to William Poloc as he had made all the arrangements. William ensured the program was unchanged. I invited men to follow Christ and instructed believers to be baptised. Many men expressed a desire to follow Christ. After wards many expressed they wanted us to comeback and some wanted us to forma church there in the prison. It was put in the hands of Poloc alongside the other Trojan warriors to do all that needed to be done. The local newspaper took the story and it was due to be in print the following Sunday. Gordon Was Sick Left by Jeepney although Andy Neola Gordon and Catherine went by taxi back to Muntinlupa. Gordon was not well. Arrived ay Neola home very late to be told Robert had changed all the locks and taken money. Neola reported the incident to the police. The Trojan Warrior Cheque Book had gone missing. Robert was remanded in custody and on return we took Gordon to Hospital. 7 Gordon Contracts Pneumonia 24th October We learned Gordon had contracted Pneumonia and was being looked after at Muntinlupa Hospital. Neola had arranged for a 24 hours vigil and her helped were very supportive. Anniversaries Anniversary 14th NBPTI and 1st Trojan Horse Teacher Training College. This went well but we were given the run around regarding the video camera. We were informed we could


46 7 GORDON CONTRACTS PNEUMONIA take the camera in after the meeting had started. Malinao spoke Michael was able to video him speak. 25th October Went with Neola and Josephine to Mama Robertson’s home near New Bilibid Prison and obtained the papers and statement. Shared with Andy Dolin the problem and we agreed to help with this problem 26th October Women’s Correctional We with the team at 8.30 a.m. Lucas and Gani were informed of my request to print Joseph’s testimony and us it as a tract for the women’s prison. Andy rang us when we’re on the way by Jeepney, as he wanted to join us. Lucas left us and Gani took us to the Women’s prison forgetting to get the tract printed. l & Gani did not know where to get it done so I went and got the printing done and arrived back at 11.30. I had difficulties in making my request known due to my language problem. The meeting went ahead without me and I arrived when they had finished, We made arrangement to see Sister “LA” Lorma Albon a Christian sister who was a teacher of English and science and into TV production. Her number is 533 99 86 Nueva de Puebrero. She was very please to be invited to be a member of the Trojan Horse teaching team and Head of School. Lucas arranged a return visit and meeting. We also suggested we arrange a visit to Maximum for Josephine’s wedding in Death Row. I Find My Cheque Book We found the Trojan Horse International Cheque Book: It was in Gordon’s Brief case. This was found when we were asked b y Gordon to take his brief case to the Hospital. Went to Merville Park Subdivision to see Alan Atkins. We met at Nomads Sports Club Paranaque M.M.

Alan would not listen to Richard but I felt ground was gained as he did respond and spoke about his objections displaying hi unbelief. Richard spoke about God provision our needs but Alan stopped his ears from listening. Alan Agreed to do some work for me in terms of writing / editing. 30th October A Summons To Robert Issued the letter (This was in effect a summons) See document: Summons Robert Lizardo) to Robert regarding the Regional Court hearing on the 6th October. A Copy had been issued to City Fiscal, Vincente B. Francisco, at the Office of City Prosecutor. I informed Michael and Austin of these details and left them copies of the summons. Request to see Agalo-os the Chief Superintendent but was not allowed too as he was busy. I wrote a request to see him and was due to call back that after noon. I could not find the original request that we wrote requesting to see him for half an hour. Sent Faxes to DOJ, Foreign affairs with copies to Director and Chief Superintendent re extended permissions. See document request for extended privileges for November. Concern Over Roberts Trial Two pastors came to see Neola and I regarding the regional court hearing regarding Robert at New Bilibid TI on 6th November. One of the Pastors was the man who married Neola and Robert nine years ago. At the first instant they said there was no such thing, as they had never heard of it. When I explained it was Christian Court they appeared to understand and one of the Pastors agree to explain Robert the next day. 31st October Share with Michael the way ahead. We had really three video

Hini was upset with Michael so I offered Hini a job working for love. He accepted. Gave Austin the letter asking him to be head of school in Biblical Archaeology and other matters. We rang the women’s correctional and I spoke to LA. We arranged to meet her on the 5th November at 10.00 in the prison. Arranged to see Lucas and Andy with Austin re Robert’s case the next day at 2.00 pm. We learned that Robert had been married before and his marriage was in fact recognised in Philippine law as a tribal marriage so in effect he has committed bigamy. Left at 7.00 p.m. I noticed Roberts’s car on the way home form NBP with a lady and child in the front seat. When I arrived at the compound Robert was on his own. He came to the window and informed us he was having me arrested and I would be deported for making out I was a circuit Judge. When I went outside to take to him he ran away out of the compound. I asked Neola to make my diary available if I was arrested for any reason. Guest Speaker I was asked to speak at the association of ex-SR04 Benjamin, PNP1A/1FF11 Police Officer, at the prison, on the subject of the “Sanctity of Marriage”. This being one of the topics of their Moral RECOVERY PROGRAMME, which had been approved and agreed by the Department of Justice. I was honoured and accepted the preaching engagement.

L. Nick Caranay. Nick was our guide and helper when we visited the Jails in Angeles and Olongapo District Jails last year. 8 I Am Informed Wife Is Divorcing Me 1st November Alastair Southerland rang in the evening to inform me that I had a letter from Helens Solicitor regarding my divorce. I asked Alastair to write to the solicitor and give my address here at lot 30 Soriano Compound. I text him latter asking him to send a letter to Helen via her Solicitor thanking her for communication at last and I asked him to send a copy of our book to my wife. 2nd November Robert issued his threats again stating I was to be deported so I reported the matter to the Barangay Police at Putatan. They said they would invite him on Monday to give an explanation for his misbehaviour. Saw Gani. Robert was at the prison saying to people he would not be attending the meeting on the 6th November. Neola also reported his conduct to the Barangay Polis that after noon. Typed affidavit for Robert’s in laws to sign and sent it by e-mail to William Poloc. Rang him in the evening and asked him to see the family and bring then proof with him on Monday 4th November. Got the scanner working but the printer stopped working in the morning. Here is the report I made to the Barangay Police: My report was made to: Jerry D. Andes, Barangay Polis, and Telephone 0919 403 3086 at the Barangay Polis, Putatan 2nd November 2002. Statement To The Barangay I am Rev. David Clarke, a guest at the Soriano Compound of “God’s Grace Ministries”. Neola Lizardo has filed a criminal legal matter against Robert Lizard, on the 25th of October. The City

Prosecutors Office and Fiscal Vicente B. Francisco are dealing it with. Mrs. Neola Lizardo has filed a case for legal separation from her estranged husband and the matter is being dealt with according to law. The separation commenced in April 2002. It was accepted, by the Fiscal, on the 26th October, that my services, to help resolve the dispute, which exists between Mrs. Neola Lizardo and Robert Lizards, might take one month. We are to appear before the Fiscal in the 7th November 2002. A warning to Robert by the City Fiscal The Fiscal has warned Robert Lizardo that he may have to abide by certain conditions otherwise he would instruct Neola Lizardo how to register her complaint in such a way that he would be put in prison. If he were to comply with these conditions then he would suggest to Mrs Neola that she file an Affidavit of Dissidence and drop the criminal charges that she has already lodged against him. Mrs. Neola has agreed to support her charges by a statement which will prove the money which was taken is in fact not joint property but belonging to a missionary organisation. Neola has also agreed to bring proof that the property at lot 30 Soriano Compound belongs to the children of Neola and not Robert Lizardo. Since that date Robert Lizardo has breathed out threatening language and has been abusive to the entire household. He has also stated and informed me he is going to get me deported. At 8.30 am. Warned that something is going to happen to me very shortly. It is believed that the money which was stolen (some P40, 000- and reported to the Barangay Polis on the 25th October)) from the Compound on the 25th October is paying for the services of an Atty. to affect these threats. My report to the Barangay Polis has resulted in a promise

that they will invite Robert to the Putatan Office on Monday to explain his problem to them. My letter to Robert Dear Robert I understand you attended New Bilibid Prison today 2nd November 2002 and informed some men that you had no intention of attending the meeting with your Christian brethren, who have set aside their time to help resolve your marital problems and to deal with the alleged charges against you of adultery and fornication. It has been reported that you are acting on the instructions of your Atty. (It has been reported that you have paid for your Atty services out of the money you took, which was sent to support God’s Grace Ministries). I would like to inform you and instruct you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (as I am an Ambassador for Christ) that you have been ill advised. For your own good you need to throw your self into the arms of God and seek his mercy. I am being very gracious towards you (as you know you have spreads malicious rumours about me and suggested I am in a sexual relationship with your wife) this you know is mischief and I condemn you for it. I am taking this opportunity to inform you that if you fail to answer the charge levelled at you or attend the meeting on the 6th November to answer the charges (time set by Christian men) then I will call a general meeting of all Christian Men, and interested parties in the prison, and churches, and report the whole matter to them. Just for the record I will name just a few men. I am sure they would like to help you. If in face I am absent for any reason I have given instructions for these matters to be deal with in the fear of God buy other able Christian men. The List Will Include The Following Men 1 Andy Dolin

I took exception to her attitude saying we did not need her approval nor were we seeking it. I knew my bible told me that a believer acting in love believes all things, hopes all things and is not suspicious of any

one on first meeting or sight. I reproved her for having little faith and so not working by love and asked her did she need letters of commendation from people who she did not know or was she not able to just for her self, after meeting a person if they were true of no. I then said even if I were to demonstrate to her with a miracle or if I had the gift or signs of and Apostle then miracle are no proof I am a true believer. It made me realise how shallow some people are particularly those who rely on others to judge and give approval and not them selves. 4th November Threats From Robert I reported Roberts’s threats to the Barangay Police. It was there flag Raising ceremony. They informed me Jerry was going to investigate him that morning. Neola advised me to stay away that night as Robert was threatening my life. I Meet Mayor Fresnedi Went to see the City Mayor of Muntinlupa City. I was made welcome and I was invited to speak to Mr. Fresnedi. I invited him to the PNP function at Maximum Compound on November 8th and informed him about our work in New Bilibid Prison. I suggested that he might like to accompany us to the President introduce us if we were invited to her office. He informed me that his predecessor the former Mayor is now the Press Secretary of the President and later I was informing that his Father was also a member of staff at New Bilibid Prison. I left him a Trojan warrior book and went straight to Maximum Compound at New Bilibid Prison. Made movie at NBPTI with Michael rehearsing my visit to the City Mayor and we was please with the out come. We also made the movie in for “LA” at the Theological Institute.

kill or harm me. I Stay In A Bar That Night Michael and I had a laugh at the situation because the Office at the Maximum prison had invited me to stay at his Restaurant/ bar that night as he had heard I needed lodgings that night. I was happy to go but he warned me they drank, they had women and loud music. I said never mind. They said I might have to sleep with the women any buy them drinks (I am sure they were testing me out). I gave instructions to Neola to publish my diary or make it available if I find my self in the (BID) Bureau of Immigration and Detention for any reason initiated by the false charges of Robert Lizardo. We arranged to meet Dr. Poloc at 8.00 the next morning at Maximum. And then visit LA at the Women’s Correctional Prison Mundaluyoung. I had a good evening at the restraint as I sang to then and had a drink and talked with the people. They seem amazed that I was a missionary. I was looked after and give a bed for the night. 5th November Visit to the Women’s Correctional Off to the Women’s Correctional. This went well and we appointed Sister LA Albon as Head of School in English and Science and also counselling and other associated issues. We suggested that she seek permission to visit New Bilibid Prison with the women’s visits. We decided to wait the come of such a meeting until after we had held the meeting at our Office in New Bilibid Prison. 6th November 9 A Warning From Alastair I received the following e-mail from Alastair Dear David, I want you to listen to me very carefully now with an open

mind, because I have some things to say which are very very important. I have wanted to talk like this to both you and Michael for a long time but the opportunity and the time was just not right. Now it is. Gordon and Alastair Pray (In England) Last night we had some serious prayer at Gordon’s and this morning all my four readings for today from Titus 3, Hosea 10, 2Kings 17, and lastly psalms 129-131 (which speaks of Gods mercy when we hear him and obey what he is saying in the previous 3 readings.) Alastairs own experience I will speak from my own tragic experience, and wise men will learn from other people’s mistakes. Foolish men are stubborn and will not and will have to learn the hard way by their own. I have no doubt that God has used what he can out of what you and Michael have been doing, but there is a time when we have to go on from the first principles of Salvation and the milk of the word to more serious things. When I started as a Christian I also had a great zeal to do the work of the Lord and had great Faith and did not trust or look to other men and acted quickly and with conviction on what I Thought the Lord was saying, and I didn’t listen to what other men of God were saying. Consequently I overlooked areas in my life which were Achilles heels and which let in deception, which I did not recognise myself and therefore did not listen to the advice of others who did. These Achilles heels were not going ahead with prayer and agreement with mature men of God. Not recognising that I was using my financial strength to manipulate others to doing what I wanted them to do to further the work of God that I was trying to do. Also there were other errors of sin such as lust, lack of prayer but one of the most dangerous and most camouflaged areas of sin which I never did see or recognise until it was too late, was the desire and need to be recognised by others, which


9 A WARNING FROM ALASTAIR

57

need was the prime mover in what \I was trying to do for God; and therefore false and unfruitful. God in his great and wonderful grace and mercy knows all these things and lets us follow that trail trying to nudge us back onto course for a long time, but there inevitably comes a day when he says you have gone far enough and the judgement comes. The ministry fails and the finance fails and people involved get tragically hurt and some even leave the faith. This is how things went for me. Because of my manipulation in trying to get a dear brother to do things my way, he erred from the truth and was reported dead in France. Another sister also was very badly wounded and I got myself into situation that went very very badly for me, and any ministry that I might have been used greatly in didn’t happen. Wanted To Share With Michael Now I wanted to share all this with Michael before I left but it just wasn’t the right time or I would have done it. I recognise the great zeal and boldness that you both have and desire to serve God with in these last days, and you both have talents that can be mightily used, but not until you have come into submission in the kind of areas that brought me down over the past 15 years. Satan will try and get you to overlook everything I am saying now and to count it as not necessary for you, that is the way he deceives us and limits Gods work. Errors In Our Ways Bend A Ministry There are two areas, which I see you following me in, which I also used and which made me to err and brought forth only wood, hay, and stubble in the work of God. And that was trying to bend my ministry onto someone else’s and achieve what I wanted to do. From what I can see Lucas Dangatan pioneered the work in the Prison and he is the mature man of God that you both should be coming under, but you have used his work as a platform to build you own. This will not work It never does. Unless the Lord himself builds those that labour


58

9 A WARNING FROM ALASTAIR

labour in vain. The Lord has used Lucas to build the Theology Institute, It is quite all right to come under his cover to extend that into something bigger, but it must be under his cover, as he is the man of God who has been placed there. You cannot usurp his authority, that is what men and even Miriam tried to do with Moses, and they suffered terribly and she was put out of the camp with leprosy for a period Alastair View (Lucas P. Dangatan should be in control) Regarding what is happening here I see the openings with the ship and the possibilities of the other ships if we fulfil all obedience; I see the possibility of working with Mickey and David Hathaway and other s maybe and it could work. It can all happen if we are right about other things and that is that the work in the prison comes under Lucas Dangatan because he is the man who God put there. Michael Needed in England Michael is needed here because his talent is not in spiritual things it is in business and negotiating and pushing boundaries. Maybe later when he is more mature God will use him in Spiritual things but to do so he should be coming under Lucas teaching and guidance. That is how God works. It is in the Bible. I did not see this even though I was told and therefore my ministry that could have been significant never took off. I knew too much and was too stubborn to come under another mans teaching. I just took what I wanted from wherever I found it and I got very knowledgeable but was no earthly use. Michael could set up the things that are needed to put a boat into ministry here with the expertise he has. Break Down In The Family Another serious thing and advice I ignored when I started out, even though God spoke to me in an audible voice was not leave my children and go out to do Gods work. That stubbornness and

59

disobedience brought my youngest into the madhouse and my eldest into a heroin-registered addict. You David have a precious little girl who needs your love and if you are not here to take up your case you could be denied access, and lose your half of the property your wife is in now. Alistair’s advise The way to go is to come under a mature man of God until he sends you out in Gods authority. If you cold spend some time following David Hathaway in the dust of his feet you could have the authority that he has, and that is awesome. I am now off to Fareham to try and nail down Nick and get these debts settled. Pray for me as we do for you Love you both very much Alastair 7th November Robert Still Causing Trouble Robert Lizardo came to pester Neola and speak to me saying he had reported me to the Barangay Police to have me deported. I had to meet the lady from Immigration at 7.30 a.m. at Macdonald’s and so Robert followed me. I informed him I would be going to the Barangay Police when I was ready. I asked the security guard to have him removed to stop his pestering. His language was threading and he told me not to go to the City Prosecutors Office that morning, as he did not want me speaking with the Fiscal. When I had finished my coffee I went straight to the City Prosecutor’s Office texting Neola to bring with her the minutes of the meeting taken on the 6th November regarding Robert. The case was presented to the City Fiscal with Roberts Lawyer present. I gave a copy of the minutes of the meeting of the 6th November to Roberts Atty and the Fiscal. Robert complained to the Fiscal that I had been to New Bilibid Prison and conducted a trial and sought to influence the men in the prison and other


60

9 A WARNING FROM ALASTAIR

parties. The Fiscal discarded Roberts objection stating the men were old enough to act for themselves- they were of age. Robert advised to stay away fro the Compound The Fiscal asked Robert where his defence statement was, as he had not brought one. The Fiscal gave him until the 12th November to respond and he would be dealing with the matter with or without it on that day. He strongly advised Robert to stay away from the property at Soriano Compound. We went straight to the Barangay Police and gave them a copy of the minutes of the meeting held on the 6th November. Robert was present so was Neola, Marcia and others. I Am Accused Of Having An Affair Robert then started to complain stated that I was a selfappointed circuit judge and I should keep out of his family affairs. He then said he believed I was having a relationship with his wife. That I had barred him from going on the mission to Angeles. Olongapo, and Baguio. That I wanted to be alone with her. That I had published a book and I was out of order. I complained that Robert had threatened me with deportation and that he as an elder or pastor should be fully aware of Christian morality that he was an adulterer, liar and was walking dishonourably as a Christian. That he had refused to meet with fellow pastors and Christians to make a defence against the charge brought against him by his wife. The Barangay Captain’s were very helpful and fair and sought to make a peaceable settlement and asked Robert and I to agree to terms. I stated I was pleased to do that and I wished no harm to his family and wished to see his repentance. Robert wanted me to say no more about his family affairs and the things his wife had accused him of. I stated that as a minister of the gospel I would continue to preach about the need to turn for sin adultery, lying cheating stealing and bullying, that unless sinners repent and turn to Christ faith they shall be turned over to hell. I stated I would not be bound to keep quite keeping peace

9 A WARNING FROM ALASTAIR

8th November Our Outreach Officer William Poloc complained to me that he was not happy about the payment etc and I stated that I knew nothing about the arrangements that he and Michael had discussed or made but we would sort it out the next morning at the meeting at 9.00 am when we could spend two hours to discuss things. I thought he was reassured as I said we would all keep our word. The Mountain boys held there meeting at 1.00 pm and afterwards dealt with Robert. Neola and family were there I was not invited to be involved as they felt they wanted do deal with it themselves. We spoke to William Poloc and Lucas regarding the future and money matters after 10.30 a.m. It was established that some miscommunication had occurred. Lucas had been given 157,000 pesos by Michael to fund the mission, which included payment for expenses in Angeles, Olongapo, and Baguio, which would include Williams’s money. Who Was The Pay Master It was established at this meeting that Lucas should have paid William the P7000 and not me. I had in fact only been able to give him P6000 in Baguio and I knew nothing about the financial arrangement of things. That William should have spoken to Lucas about these things and not let them fester causing bad feelings. Poloc’s Pay It was established that Michael had given William P1000 on his leaving prison for necessary essential items and P6000 for the month work plus expenses for the mission in Baguio City and Provincial Jails. For which he had done well and we were very pleased and encouraged by the successful work. Michael paid William all the money due to him. William expressed that he needed P6660 per month. We left with the plan for William to continue the work that we wished to go back and baptize the men in the Province an City

Jails to do all the necessary work that T.M. would pay expenses and we would all work together. I learned that evening 8th Nov. from Domingo at his meal table that William had that morning been complaining to him and others that he had not been paid and that God would not bless the ministry as promises had not been kept. This complaining session had taken place during the time that William should have been meeting to discuss his problems. He was late. In fact these complaints were being made between 9.00 and 10.30. I felt cross and expected William to now put this matter right. I informed Michael I would bring this matter to the attention of William. I also took time to explain to Domingo what had happened and what our future Ministry plans were. 10th November Help for the Nigerians We listened and interview the four black men from Nigeria who had all been set up on Drugs charges. We agreed as a Trojan Horse Mission to do all we could. 11th November Alastair sent by e-mail the particulars about my wife and her seeking a Divorce.

The Fiscal asked Neola to bring with her any witnesses, as he would be trying the case with or without Robert. He had given him extra time to file a respondents statement but he was late. Rommel was able to bring one lady witness to confirm that Robert has changes the locks to support the claim Robert had burgled the house and taken ministry money. Robert’s solicitor arrived before Robert and submitted a respondent’s statement. This was signed and the Fiscal said the case would now be submitted to seek if Neola had a case. An answer would be given in two weeks and there would be 60 days allowed giving space for a settlement. The Judge pointed out to Robert that he needed to produce papers disannulling his first marriage otherwise his second marriage could be declared null and void.

Practiced singing recording on the mini CD player. Registration Papers for SEC I received the Ministry registration papers today from Lucas Dangatan. Lucas had promised this to be done earlier that year in January 2002 but until now it had not been done.

Letter To David My Wife’s New Friend This Letter was sent to my wife Helen, as soon as I heard she was seeking to sell our Matrimonial Home without my permission. I had received a telephone call from my solicitors in England stating that my wife was seeking a Court Order, to sell our matrimonial home the very next day, whilst I was away in the Philippines. This was a shock to me but I began to realise some

thing was going on in England and I recalled my daughter had informed me that my wife Helen had found a new friend called David. He lived in the Midlands and they had stayed a few days on Holiday with him. I felt upset by this and felt my wife had found someone new so I wrote to him in order to clear the air and help all concerned I wrote: David Clarke, Hon. Director. Trojan Horse International C.M. N.B.P. Reservation PO Muntinlupa City M.M. 1776. Philippines. 13th November 2002 Dear David, Re: My wife Helen Nicola (LePeuple) Clarke and daughter Rebekah Alice Clarke My feelings Rebekah has spoken to me about you and at first I felt very jealous and angry with you. I had to tell my self that you were unaware that Helen was married and I encouraged my self to give you the benefit of a doubt and asked my wife to tell you about her situation. I write to inform you that I love my wife very much and also my daughter. Our separation is not any of my doing but my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. I write to inform you, as you really aught to know the truth about Helen and I and my daughter Rebekah, so that you me act in the correct and honourable way towards her and my self. My first instincts were to take out your kneecaps because it hurts me the think another man is in a relationship with my wife. I am quite capable of sorting you out but realise this is not the appropriate way of dealing with the situation.

10 MY RESPONSE TO THE DIVORCE PETITION

I write this way to inform you of whom you are in association. And for you to know my feelings. As a Christian such behaviour would be inappropriate and would not benefit any one. So I write to inform you of my feelings. My Wife Needs Help My wife is in need of help and I am asking you to step out of her life to clear the deck for her find her true self for my sake and Rebekahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. I am Christian and minister of the gospel, working on mission work in the Philippines, at the moment. The Lord called me to this work since my wife is unable work through her problems with me around. Talk To Her Minister Please speak to her minister David Mugford he lives at 18 FairIsle Close, Stubbington Hampshire, who knows Helen very well and I am sure he could help advise you. Insecurity My wife is very insecure and unfortunately sought to find security in me rather than the Lord Jesus Christ. She is governed by fears anxieties and generally seeks security in others. Unfortunately for her she will not accept what I say and you will find she will do this to you too. She can never feel secure unless she is in total control but there again this is she down fall because in a relationship with a partner this leads to abuse on her part if she cannot get her own way. This can only be deal with by Christ Him self, when she sees this her self and submits to Him. Humility She is often adamant about many things and I have found the more adamant she is about an issue the more she is prone to do the very thing she maintains she hates and despises. In the Lords hands and according to His grace these are lessons she could learn in humility if she were to listen to Godley advice. Outline Of Helenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Problems

Speaking evil of a person behind their back and mocking people. Listening to Gossip and acting upon it. Soaking her self in ungodly soap Opera’s. Solution All of which are contrary to her obeying the Gospel of Christ. This area’s of weakness leaves her open to be tricked by Satan. He e often keeps her insecure as she goes along with his lies. If she were to repent and follow Christ in these issues she can be set free. I have no reason to believe things have change with her. I love her and want the best for her and Rebekah. Please do not lead my wife up the garden path I would appreciate you considering my request to not lead my wife up the garden path and advise her of her best interests.

I said yes I would like too do. I was asked if I sang and I said I did and would go with them. One of the officers who were in fact the one who by Agalo-os was told to confiscate the video we had made in the Monday of Ricardo Macala return. The office within the baton was a big man compared to most Philippines. The senior man who was his boss was a bit concerned for me and asked several time was I OK about going with them to a bar. I said I would be a privilege for me to go out with them and I had no problem with going to a bar or nightclub. The officer with a baton was PSI “KP” Caparas FOD. We went to a bar in Muntinlupa City and I was offered drink and food all on the Officer KP. This was very unusual and this was the first time I had had a Filipino offer me food and drink and to ask for money. I felt it an honour and privilege. The senior man was still concerned for me and kept asking was I OK I reassured him I was fine. I said I was old over 16 years old and was of age. They were reassured and food was order and I was assured the bill was on the office. I was afraid of going out with them. I informed them I was not afraid at all but suggested it might be they should be more afraid of me as they did not know who I was, I sang a couple of songs and they enjoyed the session. I showed KP my book “Converted on LSD Trip and share with him or mission and what we were doing. He seems very interested and invited me to the prison the next day to talk. In assured him that I was a former criminal but now preacher of the


11 GANI AND GORDON EXCLUDE ROBERT 71 Gospel and worked in other Jails. Olongapo, Baguio, Angeles, Medium. Women’s Correctional. He wanted to know more about our work. I informed him we were called by God to work with the most hardened criminals and Mafia as my brother and I were former notorious convicted criminals, from the 60’s, in England and were use to running prisons like the Gang leaders do in New Bilibid Prison, Muntinlupa. I informed him it was because we were Christians that we wanted to turn men from then selves, sin and crime to Christ. That we knew how men worked and for this reason I was due to become a member of the Sputnik Gang to win men for Christ. I stated we work to keep peace and unity between BUC Staff and the inmates. I was asked what I thought of prison officers; so I stated that they were employees of the state and officers to be respected that we (as Trojan Horse Missionary’s) worked for the same end, which was the good of the prisoners, BUCA and the Peoples of the Philippines. We had drink together but He did not wish to take about the Lord whilst he was drinking and said that we could talk the next day. That would be fine as he would not be drinking then and he would like to take with me further about Christian things. The senior man who knew me left early, as he was tired. During the evening the officer informed me that the girl who served us was in fact a man so I looked again as I would not have believed it possible. He then pointed out that they had tried to bump his bill up and he was not having any of it, I had a good evening we both sang a couple of songs and I left about 1.30.A.M. I said I see KP at the prison the next day after 4.00 P.M. 16th November KP was not on duty as he said he would be so I wonder is he for real? Roberts Family Against Him Neola and the family returned from Baguio City with news


72 12 MAY I HELP YOUR SIR ! that the whole of Roberts Family were very distressed over Robert and they were against him. In all there were seventeen of the family and they made him agree to stay away form the home of Neola, Rommel and Marcia at lot 30 Soriano Compound for at least six months. It was also confirmed that Robert was already married to a former wife in the Hill country and that he had told her when he was in prison to go and remarry so he can marry Neola so she could support him when he was in prison and when he was released. In the Philippines you are not allowed to do this. Marriage is for life and there is no divorce. 17th November 12 May I Help Your Sir ! Went to Internet shop and Gani shared the gospel with two girls. One turned out to be the owner and the other a shop client. I was able to share with them our work in New Bilibid Prison. What stuck me was that the shop owner called me “Sir” on a number of occasions. This was particularly significant to me at the time because my wife had just informed me she was divorcing me on the grounds that she stated I wanted her to call me” Lord” (a rendering of the old English word of “Sir”). This wife refused to do but her was a young women paying me respect by calling me sir, a thing that my wife refused to do. 18th November Went to the Internet shop and introduced Nick to Dolores the owner of the shop who helped him set up and e-mail account. She informed me she had been to our web site and read Olga Robertson’s book which I had directed her attention too on a previous occasion. Went with Lucas to Mundaluyoung to register the Ministry but discovered we needed to make amendments. We withdrew the original papers and bought new one to reapply. This we did and I appointed Gani to do the appropriate work of registration.

21st November Visit Paranaque City Jail I went with Nick Caranay to the prison in Paranaque City Jail. We first of all called at Berean Baptist Church to collect the Prison Ministry Chaplain, worker James Paradox, who was a trained minister by Nick Caranay him self. When he was first chosen to go to the City Jail two years ago he was afraid in case any one of the inmates boxed him, however he is now Prison Chaplain and works with the Warden and I well respected. We spoke to many men, over eighty or so and after the preaching many responded by stating they wanted to be saved. I appointed one of the men to teach them the gospel, more fully and to give him their names, as we would be back to baptise them in due course. 22nd November I was asked today by the Officer of the PNP inmates to speak at the meeting next Friday. He also said that the men were very pleased with my message and they wanted to become affiliated with Trojan Horse International. He informed me that Raymond Dulfo had spoken in contradiction to what I had said. When I informed him I knew that he said that he had to tell him to stop as his time was up and that they had only asked him to speak as a stand in. I expressed the desire to answer his points of error and he said I do so this Friday before all the members. I was very pleased with this. 13 Rejection by SonLight Ministry 23rd November Meet Eric a Belgum Went to New Bilibid (Medium Security Compound) Prison with Neola to meet an Inmate called Eric from Belgium. I also met Gani, on the way and informed him that I had the permission from the D.O.J to make the video of the inmates receiving their free bibles being given them by Gideonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International.

13 REJECTION BY SONLIGHT MINISTRY

There were with him members of a group called “Sonlight Ministry” who were from the Maximum Security Compound Prison and Obispo Gani was with them. Gani is one of our Trojan Warriors and is acting secretary and legal advisor as he works for the Department of Justice. They informed him they did not want to be associated with me. I was suppressed at this as the lady spokesman was the one we had asked to distribute our book “Trojan Warriors” to all our Warrior’s at the Maximum Security Prison during the main event (See pictures and diary entry). They did not wish to associate with me and decided not to allow me. I was informed they were having a go at Gani for working with us. It had been reported that I was a wine drinker and that we worked and mixed with notorious sinners in New Bilibid Prison and so I was not a true Christian like other more righteous people. Gani said to me he was the Lord free man and works where ever though the Lord directed him and so were amused at the way Satan seeks to stop the good work of God through what he suspected as jealousy. They said they were suspicious of our motives for making the video and were critical of our Book. They were in fact very dishonourable and I decided to bring the matter to the attention of their senior Pastor Dr. Tuico who at that time was in America. He was one of the host pastors who had invited me to preach in New Bilibid Prison last year. I had met him last year and his wife and was looking forward to see him on his return from the United States. One of the ladies responsible and who was the spokesman for the group was the lady who we had asked to distribute our book “Trojan Warriors”. She is on our video. Meeting with Richard Gatwood Stayed in the Prison spoke to Richard Gatwood7, a 42-yearold man, from the East End London. He wanted help from me to help contact his father in England in Chichester.

that he was an infamous drug dealer and Pimp from operating in London and Internationally supply Heroin to many countries including Britain. His case of Pimping had been published in the National news papers in England some 10 years ago and was one of the author of the Book “The Acid House” Had a good meeting with the Trojan Warriors – see Minutes to the meeting. 24th November Spoke at the Baptist church in New Bilibid Prison where Nick Caranay is the pastor. Raymond Dolfo interpreted my sermon, which was rather different as he was the one to oppose the truth of God. He spoke the Gospel me. It was he that was rejected from the Bible Institute because he maintains he has found a new formula for salvation, which I rejected as not the way. Received an e-mail form Jassica and replied. November 25th Going to Manila Department of Justice re Suny Wilson’s Case. Received the official public record from Suny via e-mail, which clears him. Gani had a “Big Problem” Gani shared with me in words which he describes as “a big problem” – he said we have a big problem”. He had received a text massage from DR. William Poloc who had been texted by an inmate at New Bilibid Prison. The report was that Michael and I had gone to building 13 one evening recently and were drinking That we were drunk with two Bakla’s singing and our conduct was know top all the guards and all the inmates. I was told that the reason why members of Sunlight Ministries did not want me to video them giving away Bibles hat the guardian International Bible Society had given the inmates was because I drank wine and they did not wish o be associated with me. This mater I have recorded in y diary entry for the 23rd November as on that day I received the permissions to make a video of the inmates at Medium receiving their bibles. I was informed that the lady who Trojan Horse asked to distribute the Trojan Horse Book to

13 REJECTION BY SONLIGHT MINISTRY

the inmate on the 15th was in fact the voice of those who did not wish to associate with me. The lady is from Son Light Ministry an organisation being pastured by Mr. Tuico. I was quite happy and was not distressed over the rejection as I much work to do in Medium my self and I could not really spare the time. It was said that they did not trust me and I might be using the video for bad us. I have written to Pst. Tuico with my official complaint as their action- See my letter to Oliver Tuico dishonoured me. My answer to Gani was, “ I had no problem with drinking wine”. I accepted he and other might have. That I am not a drunkard and no one has ever seen me drunk. I confirmed that did drink wine with sinners and others. I also reminded Gani that I use to sell drugs, deal in sex and drank to excess before I was converted from crime and my sins to Christ on 16th January 1970. This conversion was from sin, death and hell -from Crime to Christ- as I have written in my first book “Converted on LSD Trip” a copy of which can be obtained if need be. I to stated Gani that no one has come to me personally about this so called drinking or alleged misbehaviour except other who has acted on hear say. One was Sister Neola and a lady Pastor who had enquired if had drunk wine with sinner in New Bilibid Prison. To which I replied I did as written about I my diary entry for 5th October 202. I accept these did so they concerned for me as it they felt that some thought it was a bad example and they did not want me to be rejected by the people who maintain drinking wine was a sin. They suggested I might be causing others to stumble. Neola went so far as to ask our team members (Trojan Horse) not to smoke or drink at her home as it reflected on her. This occasion I write about also in my diary entry for the 5th October 2002. Who Is The Weaker Brother ? My initial response was to ask whom have I caused to stumble as I certainly was not aware of any one who had turned into drunkards through me drinking wine with sinners any were.


14 JESUS DRANK WIN AND MIXED WITH SINNERS 77 To the contrary I have spoken and encourage men to turn from strong drink to Christ. I have no problem with what I have since learned they call “Tuba” except that I would encourage Ricardo Macala to set up a manufacturing plant to produced bottled Tuba and legalize it so that mass production could take place and it I could then be marketed abroad. I think this could be as popular as Scots Whiskey. I may in fact be writing to suggest this to him and if he thinks it is a good idea he could write to the DOJ for such permissions. 14 Jesus Drank Win And Mixed With Sinners To the religious mind it is very difficult to accept the plain meaning of scripture so I tried to reason and remind Gani that I was a follower of Christ and am his Ambassador. That if will be aware that it is written of Jesus that the common people heard and received him gladly but the Pharisees, Sadducee’s and most elders of the people hated him. They envied him and finally put him to death according as it was written He: 1 Healed on the Sabbath (he did good) 2 He drank wine and mixed with publicans and sinner. 3 The transgressed the rules and traditions of the elders. I maintained to Gani that I was a follower of Christ and not of men. A Challenge To Gani To Follow Christ I then challenged him to follow Christ and not men by drinking wine as Jesus did. Gani He maintained he could not go into a bar or night club and drink wine with sinners in order to peach the gospel as he had not drunk wine of drink like that since he had been converted. He had done so when he was in his old nature. My answer to Gani and challenged was he should follow Christ in every thing. He drank wine, he mixed with publicans and sinners and the common people receive him gladly. The scripture maintains, “Wisdom is justified of her Children”.


78

14 JESUS DRANK WIN AND MIXED WITH SINNERS

I then informed Gani that if he was not happy about my work and me mixing and drinking with sinners he might consider not to walk with me but could separate from me as other had done. I was going to follow Christ and dis- regarded men who were selfrighteous and carnal men as these were no followers of Christ but worst sinners as they opposed the scripture and were blind leads of the blind. Leaders Of The Blind These men and people will bind burdens upon men’s back and lift not one finger to help them carry them selves. They strain at knats but gulp down a camel’s when they drink. These take a small speck of dust out of a brother’s eye but have a plank of wood in his own. They are I fact dogs that bark in the night, that talk behind people backs- back bitters- have no guts- as the scripture call them and of such it is written, “they shall not enter the City Gate” for without the gate are dogs. They are blind and leaders of the blind. I reminded Gani that the situation was no different to those, who through fear of the religious Jews, sought to have gentile converts circumcised as they could not face the reproach of Christ them selves. Today a Muslim or Jew would be an out case if they followed Christ. Such people are cast out of their society and are to walk alone if they were to confess Christ openly every believer is encouraged to confess Christ before men and walk uprightly and not encouraged to look for other men’s approval for actions which are approve of by God. I sated today is no different and I have observed that men without faith always seek to walk an easy way. They need the approval of men and will bend and weave run with the hare and the hounds not to be cast out for Christ’s sake. I than informed Gani that I would have none of it and re-bucked him for not following Christ in this matter. I would walk alone of need be as I wanted to please Christ and be approved of GOD. I did not seek to please men. I thanked God and Gani for speaking to me about this event


14 JESUS DRANK WIN AND MIXED WITH SINNERS 79 and stated I believed much good would come of it. I was then reminded of King David who took off Goliath’s Head with his own sword. I then felt the Spirit of the Lord move me to go out take off this ugly head of the self-righteousness in New Bilibid Prison. A false way, which is not of God and a dishonour to Christ. So I say now say watch out David it about. The sword or the Baton of the Lord and David will box any sinner who defies the Lord Jesus and perverts His Gospel. I am now David, “The Giant Killer” and Ambassador for Christ. Remember what happen to the sinner Robert Lizardo! A greater than David is here. I Write To Dr. Oliver Tuico As a result of this meeting I felt constrained to write to Gani’s Pastor Tuico: I sent home a copy of the diary entry’s for October 5th, (Eating and drinking with sinners) November 23rd (Sonlight Ministries Separated from Trojan Horse International) and November 25th- “Gani’s big problem” To: Oliver Tuico CC Gani Lucas Dangatan Michael William Poloc Notes on my conversation with Pastor Gani a trusted member of the Trojan Horse International Ministry.

I am also informed that some pressure is being placed on Ispogani for assisting us in our work. I would value any of your comments and help and would like you to direct me if I am acting in any way which you feel is wrong and contrary to the Gospel. I have discovered dissension amongst some of your people and I would like to clear any misunderstandings and unresolved matters in a true Christian way. Their behaviour needs to be examined and reported to the Gideon International Bible Society if they continue to act as they have done towards other Ambassadors of Christ. Please find enclose my diary entry for Saturday 23rd September, which will be self-explanatory. I hope we can resolve any misunderstanding and I pray God speed in your commission to speak the Word of God.

It was stated that each warrior was a free agent to work wherever the Lord directed they could us their testimony amongst many for the furtherance of the Gospel.

He too would be encouraged to expand the work and function as a Trojan Warrior in S Arabia and go with a commission from Trojan Horse International. Support in terms of visiting them in there respective Countries would be offered


14 JESUS DRANK WIN AND MIXED WITH SINNERS 83 as the Lord enabled and to supply books, DVD’s, video’s and materials would be forth coming. It was noted that member’s conduct should be as becomes Christian behaviour. Those important positions should be help by men who are filled with the Holy Spirit and had the gifts qualifying them for the task. That all should strive to grow in grace and maturity in the Christian faith and behaviour. It was notes that Michael’s behaviour and manor of speech could be improved. That gracious behaviour would be encouraged. That a position would be appointed to which would cause not difficulty in function. We all were to strive for perfection in behaviour and conduct. Lucas expressed that he would be under subjection, in his position as the President of the Teacher Training School and the Trojan Horse Directorate but in his overall position at NBP Bible Institute he would be separate and govern all things as he had done for 14 years. Michael acknowledged Lucas’s will for him not to smoke in NBPTI and Michael express his intent and desire to stop smoking there and than for Lucas’s, Benilda and the Ministries sake. It was propose that a working party get together to draw up the rules governing the mission work- i.e. A constitution- David suggested Lucas, William Austin and David? This would be brought to the group when drawn up for approval. Income- David informed that the money was personally funded by David and Michael. David informed the group he had mortgaged his house to P800, 000 and Michael had put 3 times that into the ministry. David and William informed group that William Poloc was supported financially by Trojan Horse Office and we wished to help with a school /assemble room and living quarters at Baguio City. Poloc and his wife being servants of the Gospel in the City and District Jails. It was reported that we would like to help all but we depended


84 14 JESUS DRANK WIN AND MIXED WITH SINNERS on the Lord to provide. We were prepared to work and generate income- sale of books- making known the work to inform Christians and any interested groups. William reported on the developments at Baguio City Jail and our return to Baptize the converts- all done by William- We congratulated him. The book critics. We welcomed feedback and wished to make correction. Apologies were made for any errors- they occurred due to translation and transliteration not by design. We welcomed changes and suggestions for the 2nd edition. David express that any critics who spoke evil about the work without coming personally to make any objection known would be ignored, as it would be considered the back bite was walking contrary to the gospel of Christ. William spoke to Michael regarding mission expenses and they were to sort out the problems and agree on limitations. The meeting was concluded and each person was commended to God and His Blessing sought on our dismissal. Written up by David Clarke 25th November Was informed by Michael that a visitor of the Congressman had been shot and killed on Sunday. Michael had in fact taken valuable video footage, which included the last day of honourable visitors life. (Video footed that would be treasured by the deceased family) Michael had been asked to show, that day, the video footage that he had taken of last few hours of the dead mans life to the Congressman. That evening we spoke to Richard Gatwood about his situation and about 9.00 pm several men came and rattled the gate with batons, to take Richard away. Richard asked me the next day to go and se his Commander as he may well be in trouble over the event.


14 JESUS DRANK WIN AND MIXED WITH SINNERS 85 26th November Went with Rommel and Nick to Manila in a van to get the parts for the guitars and microphone stands. Spent P6000. We were informed the guitars were copies of a Les Paul Custom and Fender Start. In the evening I went with Nick and testified and shared the word with members of his Church in Iby a small village near Putatan. I agreed to return the next week. I slept the night at Nicks home and his wife said she would write to my wife. Nick Showed me a book his wife had read “Let Me Be a Women” by Elizabeth Elliot” ISBN 0-8423-2162-4. Published by LIVING BOOKS. Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. Wheaton. Illinois. Order from Back to the Bible Broadcasts P.O. Box 82808, Lincoln, NE 68501. Copy writes Tyndale House Publications Inc. Wheaton Illinois 60187. TYNDALE DMS Box 80, Wheaton. Illinois 60289 A Request For Help From Andy Dolin I spoke to Andy asking him to introduce me to an experienced Christian to speak with me about moral values held by Philippine Christian’s as I from the West find some practice wrong and damaging. Many Filipino Christians I had set bad examples to none Christians as to true morality and I have heard them say such Christianity if that’s Christianity then they can stick it. I met Richard Gatwood, a British subject and an inmate of New Bilibid Prison. He was a notorious convicted drug dealer from London England who had the London drug scene sewn up during the 1980’2 and 90’s in London England. I and invited him to our Trojan Horse Office that evening to assist him and share the gospel with him. He owned money to 8Hector R. Maqueda and we sought to help recover it, as he was also a “Trojan Warrior”. That evening Richard came to the Trojan Horse Office, bringing with him a bottle of Tuba. Michael reproved him for being so blatant, as it was against the rule to drink Tuba on the 8 See testimony 030 Hector Maqueda “Trojan Warriors”.


86 14 JESUS DRANK WIN AND MIXED WITH SINNERS NBPTI premises and Prison and he had assured Lucas Dangatan to keep the rules. I had no problem with the issue of Tuba drinking or smoking as some men, like Isagani Obispo had and other R. V. O.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the prison had. I had in fact drunk tuba just like a former Director of the prison and it was a reasonable drink. I had also drink wine with members and Elders of NBPCC Christian Church in and out of the prison. Besides which I was not there to enforce prison rules but as a minister of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ seeking to point men to Christ. In the BUCOR manual for Extra Ordinary Volunteers I had the authority to not disclose matters like those to any authority. Richard insisted it would be OK as no on had seen him but Michael knew other wise as he knew he and I was under surveillance as we had enemies and men were out to discredit us. About 9.00 pm a group of men came to the Office and commanded to come in. Michael threw the Tuba contents on the floor as he did not wish to be charged with any violation to the rules and then we discovered men had come to collect Richard Gatwood as he was missing fro his dormitory and a command had been give to bring him back. The next day he was under discipline by the Assistant Commander of the Sputniks Ompong for violation of the rules, I learned this when I called the day following to see how he was. The Commander releases his punishment of confinement in the basis of Richards Promise to keep the rules. It was after this event I learned from Isagani that I had been named as a drunkard and going to New Bilibid Prison on drinking sprees. Isagani stated he had been texted by an inmate of the happenings. I also learned latter the Isagani9 himself was the one who text Bobby the assistant chaplain the Chaplaincy Officer of BUCO. Who was at the time Msgr Helley Barrido 9 See Complaint Affidavit, filed against Isagani Obispo, on the 24th March 2003.


14 JESUS DRANK WIN AND MIXED WITH SINNERS 87 of my alleged misconduct? It was also noted that it was these reports along with others (who will be named if need be) spread by Isagani that caused the Elders of NPPCC to write a petition against Trojan Horse International Christian Ministries. 28th November Went to the Ernesto Innocence to obtain the Nipper but was given the run around. Weapons Recovered When seeking approval from Arciaga I saw many weapons. Long knives. Hatchets. Axes claws and fearful looking weapons. The blade lengths were some three feet long. The Superintendent was pleased to say these had all been recovered from within the Maximum Security Compound. Dr Hini spoke to me and said I must do more work in the prison as people are wondering what am I doing. He warned that the NBPTI inmates were not friendly towards Michael and if we were not careful the electric will be cut off to his room. I asked Dr. Hini to assist me and come with me on visits and that I would like to visit Ward 4 the Psychiatric Ward in the Hospital. He informed me that I would not be allowed. He said it was due to the fact some prisoners are put there who know too much as it was in Russia so in the Philippines. That this was the reason why visitor are not allowed to see some of them. 29th November I spoke at the PNP Inmate Association. Many Officers were present and I reiterated the value of the PNP Inmate Officers. I related the relationship between Christ and His Church and the Man and his wife. So is the order of God. Michael took full video footage and we gave a gift of Trojan Warriors to the Lady who spoke who in turn dedicated this to her Superior General. 30th November On our way home Benilda and I were invited to the 100-day calibration of the new Barangay Captain at Putatan. They were interested in our work. And one man wanted to introduce us to


88 14 JESUS DRANK WIN AND MIXED WITH SINNERS the Barangay captain for me to give a copy of our book to him. 1st December I wrote to The Director regarding the loss of my mobile phone her is the letter: I delivered it on December 2nd to Bobart the Director Secretary. To: Director Ricardo Macala, Bureau of Corrections 29th November 2002. Copy furnished: Superintendent and Deputy Director Julio A. Arciaga Dear Sir, Re: loss/stolen mobile phone from the Armoury on Friday 29th November 2002. Further to my letter to you on Monday regarding the theft of my Mobile Phone Battery I am sorry to inform you that my mobile Phone went missing from your armoury on Friday Please find the enclosed an Affidavit that explains the problem. Your officer Carlito D. Bustillo gave me this. He informed me ha gave my telephone out by mistake to a visiting PNP Police officer on Friday when he left the Prison. I am sorry this has taken place and that a PNP Officer may be responsible for taking the phone away by mistake or otherwise. I was in fact the guest speaker, at the Inmates Association of the PNP officers, and taking one of the subjects on the Moral Recovery Program that same day and I addressed these officers my self. The chairman of the Association has in fact the contact details of these officers and we are seeking the recovery of my mobile phone our selves. The Cell Phone was the very latest NOKIA 6310e, which is not available in the Philippines, and was very expensive. I felt so sad when I leaned it was taken from the Armoury. It cost me ÂŁ270 in September of this year. (P20, 000.00) Money that our ministry cannot afford. I am so sorry the problem regarding security has happened


14 JESUS DRANK WIN AND MIXED WITH SINNERS 89 again but as a gesture of good will might I remind you of my earlier suggestion to grant my request and allow me permission to have a land line telephone installed in our Ministry Office. You might also consider granting me permission to keep my mobile phone on me at all times should I be able to replace it. May I respectfully remind you that other VIP visitors such as Barangay Captains, PNP Personnel together with RVOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are granted entry of their personnel Cellular phones to conduct their valuable and most needful business? May I further add that I am an Ambassador of Christ, on a twenty-four hour call out service (In England this referred to as 24/7) and I am in continuous need of telephone communication? I can assure you sir this privilege will not be abused and may be monitory by your senior personnel at all times. Might I also add that my services have been offered to our British Embassy and our Ambassador Paul Diamond my be contacting you shortly with reference to our work. Please see my enclosed letter given you for your information. I feel this will prevent these problems arising again and I am sure you will agree this a good and sensible solution to our problem of security. Thank you once again for all you help and support to our Ministry. Yours very Sincerely Rev. David Clarke. 2/12/02 Assistance Offered To The Embassy Decided to write to Paul Diamond reading seeking work for the British Embassy Here is my letter: To: Paul Diamond The British Ambassador Thro.

LV Locsin Building City of Makati.

1st December 2002. British Detainees In The Philippines I understand the British Embassy may be requiring a degree of representation with regard to Nationals presently detained in the Philippines. Accordingly I would appreciate being granted the privilege of an interview when my experience in this field, and voluntary services, can be discussed. I am confident such a meeting will be mutually beneficial. Rev. David Clarke 2nd December Had planned to meet Lucas to open the bank account in Manila with the Hong Kong and Shanghi Bank but he did not arrive until 12.30 PM. Neola had agreed to give on loan her two Macintosh Computer to Lucasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bible school so I showed Lucas and were to get them fixed and get the appropriate permissions for Lucas to get them in along with the printer. Went to his bank and withdrew the money Michael needed and learned in needed a certificate of Alienship from the BID to open a bank and account. Decided to do it when got my passport back. Video Equipment confiscated In the a.m. I received an urgent message from Michael to say our equipment had been confiscated so I decided to go and investigate. I delivered my letter to Ricardo Macala regarding my mobile telephone Bobart said there would be an investigation. It was decided later that it would be better to send another letter via fax from the DOJ regarding the confiscation of our equipment as it was felt the whole process was out of order. Our permissions had been ceased and our equipment there was now no way of proving all are activities were upright and above board. Had an argument with Michael regarding his selfish


14 JESUS DRANK WIN AND MIXED WITH SINNERS 91 behaviour and Benilda got upset. It was over the joke Michael could not take. Hector spoke to me about his problem with Richard Gatwood and I said I would help out as best I could. My letter regarding the confiscation of video and printing equipment: Copy furnished: Hon. Undersecretary Liwag Julio A. Arciaga PGA Monolo Commander of Sputnik Dear Sir, Re: Your officers PGA Monolo Riley and PGA Angilito Busrtrea, Monitoring Section. Further to my letter informing you of my concerns regarding our video equipment and your instruction to speak to your Superintendent Julio A. Arciaga. I have done as you instructed. Superintendent Arciaga in turn directed me to his deputy Rabo who upon reading my letter to you asked for the permissions to have in our office, the equipment confiscated. When I informed him that your officer Monolo, from the Monitoring Unit, had not only taken our equipment but also our printer and written permissions, he explained that he could do nothing without these documents. The Undersecretary Liwag, at the DOJ, under your recommendation, granted these permissions. When I informed him that these papers (permissions) had been taken by the above-mentioned officer, PGA Monolo Riley, he state he could not help me without the permissions. My Personnel Assistant, Benilda Esguerra, immediately directed me the officer who took the equipment and permissions from our Office. He is PGA Monolo Ridley, from the monitoring unit. I then sought to speak to officer Monolo but he was very


92 14 JESUS DRANK WIN AND MIXED WITH SINNERS reluctant to help me and virtually ran away from me. When I pressed him for help he deliberately miss directed me to Chief Michael A. Martin, pointing me in the direction of his Office in the Monitoring Unit. Your Chief was in fact off duty at that time and your Monolo very conveniently left quickly to avoid me. I now believe he did for an undisclosed reason. I have since been informed that these men from the Monitoring Unit, and in particular Monolo, are responsible for confiscating items from within the Maximum compound and selling them. This of which of course is theft and dishonest and I do not wish this to happen to our Ministries equipment. I have reported this matter to Superintendent Arciaga and expressed I was extremely upset. I now have reason to believe my equipment has been stolen and will be sold by the said Officer if you do not intervene immediately. Further complaint against Officer PGA Monolo Riley When this man, rudely took our Ministries equipment, from our office he was unable to read the documents as he either could not read plain English or had no glasses. The permissions were good and the equipment should not have been taken away. The permission is plain and straight forward- there should be no problem. This man also pointed his finger at my brother, in an aggressive way and demanded an answer, in front of Michael’s new “bride to be”. He was demanding, “What is your Case”. Which of course is none of his business and unprofessional. It was in fact is plain intimidation and thus disgraceful behaviour. Please Sir, would you kindly look into this matter, and return our equipment, together with the permissions, so that we may continue our good work, which BUCA has approved. Your very Sincerely, Rev. David Clarke In the evening we decided we should report the whole matter

to the Barangay Police in Putatan and have the entry written in the blotter. This we did but we were directed to the central office in Muntinlupa. All the officers were interested in what our mission was all about. Sent e-mails to Alistair re Jessica etc. Taxed Gani and asked him to help us see Liwag the next day. 15 A Matter Of Conscience 3rd December Spoke to Neola about me staying at her place and she said the only problem was my drinking even outside her compound. I then asked her is she would be offended if I left because I felt is wrong for me to with her causing her to compromise. I informed her that I had come to preach the gospel to sinners and not to Christians. I eat and drink wine with sinners as the Lord Jesus did and I would follow him only. She informed me the Filipino believed it was wrong to drink wine and they judged a man not a Christian if they drank wine. Neola said she had made a vow not to drink wine. I informed Neola that Gani was a former drunkard, womaniser and singer but he could not go into a bar to drink wine and mix with prostitutes in order to preach the gospel. I informed Neola that I would not encourage any to go against conscience but to follow Christ. I maintained that Jesus “Broke the Sabbath”, transgressed the “traditions of the elders” and “drank wine and eat with publicans and sinners that they said he was wine bibber”. I said I would follow Christ and asked why did they not. So out of respect to Neola, because she had a problem of a minister of the gospel, who followed Jesus, by eating and drinking “wine with sinners”, I would be party to bring to her dishonour. I then reiterated to her that I did not follow men who did not follow Christ that in would follow Christ even if the whole of the world were against me. Neola said that the Catholics would accept me as they drank wine. In return I reminded Neola that they worshipped Mary but I didn’t. I then recalled my run in


94 15 A MATTER OF CONSCIENCE with the Roman Catholic Church when I was in England. I had no problem in preaching to Catholics or M Muslims. See my book “Converted on LSD Trip”. Benilda and went to Makati City. On the way Gani texted me to say that he was busy on a census and could not meet until the afternoon-We went first to the Internet Café and sent e-mails to Alistair requesting that he and Gordon send me their Signatures. I viewed a CD ROM burner and purchased it later for approx P9000. I had a go of a Gibson guitar only P149, 0000.00 the same shape and copy that was at Neola’s house and watched James Bond Movie- ready to die once. Views Audio, TV, Karaoke and video equipment and took the prices. On the way to the DOJ I prayed with Benilda to the Lord to open up the way and door for us to see the Undersecretary of Justice Liwag, Liwag Gets The Camera Back Went to the DOJ and to Mr. Liwag with the letter I had printed at the Internet café. I was informed he was busy so we left the letter in her hands. Just then Liwag appeared and I recognised him and he asked if we were being seen to. His secretary spoke to him and he reads my letter that I had composed and given to the Barangay Investigators. He looked at me and said I could take them to court under the theft act with no problem. He then was very helpful he and us then deal the problem by telephoning the prison straight away after speaking to Benilda. He rang the Prison straight away and inst Lucas agreed to live with Benilda and I at a property in Muntinlupa City or the Reservation. Share the news with Michael after we had returned to NBP that after noon and Benilda took our letter to the Directors Office and got a receipt regarding the camera and permissions. He is her letter: To: Hon. Director Ricardo Macala, December 3rd 2002. Re: Video permissions and the confiscations of our

equipment by your office PGA Monolo Riley from the Monitoring Unite. I was greatly distressed by the actions of your man, PGA onolo Riley, as he took our equipment away, together with the permissions for its use. Under-secretary Liwag issued these permissions under your recommendation. He took this equipment away leaving us with no receipt or the permissions. When speaking to Hon. Secretary Liwag this morning, at the Department of Justice, he informed me that he would speak to your personnel regarding this matter. He also said he would like to see the video documentary that we have made at some convenient time. Might I suggest that you view this documentary before we show the Hon. Secretary Liwag or personnel at the Department of Justice, as I am sure you could recommend or suggest changes. We would of course like to present you and Buca in the best light possible and it may be you could appear on the video your self. We do intend the documentary to be shown to you President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and on European Television. Might I add that the video/movie that we have made puts the BUCA in very good light and we have invited your staff to see this on several occasions? I am sure you will get much credit for the good work of rehabilitation that you encourage in the prison. The movie stars one of you former inmates one of your fellow countryman William Poloc who was released in August 2002 and is now working for Trojan Horse International Christian Ministries, in his home City Baguio. Might I add that this Sunday we are to accompany him at Baguio City jail when we shall be baptising 24 inmates who have been converted from Crime to Christ as a direct result of our worker William Poloc? He is a credit to the Bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s correction plan. We would be delighted if you would spare the time in order that we may give you a full video presentation of our work in

We stayed at Nick Caranay home and in the morning I shared with him our desire to get a ministry Office and accommodation on the reservation. He advised me to become requested permanent missionary and get the visa. I was advised to go to Manila to The Christian Alliance. _ I agreed it was right and to go and do so. 16 First Petition against Trojan Horse International 6th December Received notification of a petition regarding Trojan Horse Mission. The Petition wrote To: Head Pastor/Director NBPCC-NBPTI Pastor, We the undersigned Elders and Officers, wish to bring to your attention that on or about 7.30 in the evening of 26th November 2002 the brothers Clarke and a certain Richard Gatwood (also a British National from 9D1) had a drinking spree inside the Trojan Horse Office (Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room): that the liquor/tuba was brought in by inmate Gatwood that around 9.00 pm David went home smelling of liquor; that days before this incident, Michael had been observed several times to be under the influence of Liquor whenever he goes home to his room at night; and on the 23rd November, a certain Benilda (his girlfriend) stayed with him over night.


16 FIRST PETITION AGAINST TROJAN HORSE 97 Please be informed, likewise, that before Michael’s transfer to his present room, several complaints have been aired against his discourteous behaviour actuations---seen several times smoking inside our Church/school; bringing some none Christian friends during the night time for a drinking spree at the Bible Centre; and that he always displays a “bossy” attitude whenever confronted. This un-warranted behaviour of Michael is a flagrant violation of Section 2, Article VIII of our Constitution and By Laws of 1999, as amended. We allay our apprehension that, should Michael continue with this illegal activity of drinking liqueur/tuba within our Church/School, time will come that he will be caught flat footed by the Patrol Unit or Monitoring Unit of the BUCOR, thus would bring irreparable damage and desecration to this Institution. It is our ardent prayer, therefore, that to pre-empt such occurrence and to preserve the sanctity and integrator of the Bible Centre we strongly petition for the immediate closure of the Trojan Horse Office/room and be transferred to another place/venue.

My subject specializem was Electronic Engineering and Mr. Geoff Whitefield was my in line manager. I was made redundant in August 2001 and since then I have worked as a missionary in the Philippines teaching the gospel


16 FIRST PETITION AGAINST TROJAN HORSE 99 in the National, Regional and City Jails. My book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Converted on LSDâ&#x20AC;? was published 11th February 2001 whist I worked at Fareham College and is in your library at the College. I have applied for a permanent visa to continue my work in the Philippines as the founding Hon. Director of New Bilibid Prison Teacher Training College. It is believed to be the only Teacher Training College in the world, run exclusively by, notorious, converted criminals. We have over 30 members of staff. I am required to give proof of my academic status whilst working at Fareham College. I would be more than delighted if you could confirm that I have a Certificate of Education issued by Birmingham University as recorded on my file held by in Personnel Office records. Also it would be very helpful if Mr. Geoff Whitefield would write a short reference regarding my work and perhaps different my different approach to education. An approach which although may be questionable (at times) in the UK, it has proved to be a very efficient and acceptable way here working amongst social deviants in the Fare East. Might I add it may be that graduates from out college, some members of prison staff and members of the free society may wish to pursue there education in England and I am in the position to recommend and support visa applications if a place of full time education could be establish in Fareham College for prospective student. I am working with the British Council here in Manila, as direct by Clair Short, the Minster of State for International Developments, and we are seeking links with Educational Institutes in Great Britain for student we recommend. We propose to run Access Courses to Higher education and have already spoken to the Vice Province at Portsmouth University regarding such a link. The Home Office has been informed. Also The Chief Education Officer at the Prison Education Unit in the UK has confirmed my books may be circulated in all the prisons in the UK.

Monday, December 9, 2002 Dear Sir, Re: Police records check I have applied for permanent residence, as a missionary, in the Philippines and have declared to the Bureau of Immigration and Detention that I have a criminal record, which is spent. These charges are from 1965 to 1971 and you records should show: In 1964 I was convicted of burglary. In 1967 Malicious wounding and carrying an illegal fire arm. In 1971 three cases of thief with 21 T.I.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. I would appreciate a confirmation certificate for the appropriate parties to support my application for immigration purposes. I would be grateful for a speedy reply. Please note I written to you before requesting the same information and so far I have not received it. Yours Sincerely, Please address your reply to: Rev. David Clarke, Reservation Compound PO, Muntinlupa City 1776, and Philippines.

16 FIRST PETITION AGAINST TROJAN HORSE 101 Minister of the Gospel December 11th 2002 Dear Mr. Ramsbottom, Re: Contacting Mr. Hope of Reading and the Bierton Church I would be very grateful if you could direct me to any one who is in the position to help. I have applied to the Philippine Board of Immigration for a permanent Visa to work as a Missionary in the Philippines. The Authority needs confirmation that I was duly sent to preach by my Church meeting at Bierton in 1983. I understand that member of our Church are with the Lord and so my only recourse is to seek any who can confirm my appointment as minister, whist serving the Church at Bierton in 1983. Mr. Paul Crane of Laken Heath would certainly be able to help. What is needed is for some one who knows to write in an official capacity to say that I was duly appointed and sent to preach the Gospel, by the Bierton Strict and Particular Baptist Church (Gospel Standard Listed Church) in 1983. The Church book will contain the records. You may recall that Mr. Janes, of Eaton Bray, is a trustee of the Bierton Cause and I feel he could be of assistance. I would be grateful if you could ask Mr Crane (I do not know his Address) to confirm all that I asked or if you feel it appropriate could you confirm these details. The Church also meeting in Oxford could help but I do not know the address of the Secretary. I would be grateful also if you could supply me with the name and address of the Secretary for the Trinitarian Bible Society, as the Philippines has been opened up to hear the word of God. Yours Very Sincerely In the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. David Clarke. Went to the Congressman Jlosgos and spoke about our mission and was invited to consider his work on an alliance of Ministries. I read his SEC documents (Company Registration

We opened a bank account in Muntinlupa with the Philippine National Bank of the Philippine and transferred all Michael money from Lucasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account into it.

I feel greatly


106 17 VISIT BAGUIO CITY JAIL AGAIN offended by your behaviour and consider your response to my letter an ignorance that does not become a man professing Godliness. Before I take these matter further I invite to put these matters right. Please give me the curtsy of meeting. May I suggest our Ministry Office NBP at a time convenient to us both? Yours Sincerely In the name and Fear of the Lord Jesus Christ. Rev. David Clarke Minister of the Gospel. Copies furnished to; Isagani, Lucas Dangatan, Michael J Clarke, Gordon Smith, Alistair Sutherland, Msgr Helley Barrido We meet the Elders In the Afternoon Michael and I met with the elders as they had convened a meeting to decide the future of The Trojan Horse office. It had been brought to their attention that Michael attitude and behaviour to some had been unacceptable. He was irritable and awkward and ill mannered which was contrary to certain rules. Also it had been noted that Michael had been seen drinking Tuba and smoking in the Prison and office. That a certain Richard Gatwood10 had been seen late at night in the office and Michael and I had had a drinking spree with him I left the office I was smelling of Tuba. It was later revealed that they were unhappy about Michael using the office as a dormitory they called it a Cabool and now it was not an office but Michael’s room. They did not like this because no one else was allowed in there it wasn’t like an office they wanted i.e. That they could us it at anytime at all. It was stated that no one was allowed to us the schoolrooms as his or her Cabool or as their room. 10 See Appendices 01 “Daily Diary” January 31st to March 14th 2002/3 subject: Richard Gatwood


18 I SUMMARISED MY RESPONSE 107 They stated they did not know what we were doing in the office and it was stated they did not believe Michael. It was stated Michael was a liar. The summery was that drinking Tuba and smoking was against the rules of the institution and they were concerned about Michael bringing disrepute upon the whole institute. That Tuba drinking was not allowed in the prison and if caught would lead to prison discipline. Any behaviour, which broke the Prison Rules, left the Bible Institute open to questionable behaviour, which they did not want. 18 I Summarised My Response I had been disappointed with Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attitude and behaviour and had spoken to him about this during the second week of our Mission. The Team had also witness my opposition to him but did not approve of me arguing with him over these issues in front of them or others. That as a result I had sacked Michael from his position to his great disappointment. I was also unaware of the rules of their institution and Prison rules. I was disappointed in Michael for not informing me or deliberately breaking the rules. That I had asked Pastor Andy to direct me to two good men who would spend tome with me to share with me the values and ways the culture- nothing had happened. I wanted to know about customs, which were different to the West and may affect the Bible Institute. I was aware that Tuba was not allowed but I knew of many rules that prisoners do not keep such as possessing cellular phones, weapons for gang warfare, drinking Tuba living in with unmarried women. I stated that I had no problem in conscience over drinking Tuba or wine with Sinners and informing them that I was not a drunkard. Michael was then called away to Gate one to see his future parents in law. I continued and stated that I did not smoke but could do so if I wanted too. I chose not to do so. My belief being that


108 18 I SUMMARISED MY RESPONSE the Kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking but righteousness and joy in the Holy Ghost that what one drank or eat did not make a man unclean but rather that the evil thoughts that come from the heart and spoken words out of his mouth these defile a man. I stated that that I as a guest was very happy to keep the rules of the house this was the least I could do but stated I believed them to be wrong to expect me to stop drinking with sinners such a Buclaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Girl Men) outside the prisoners in homes or bars or night clubs as I sought to preach the gospel to men- the entire world. I stated Jesus drank wine with sinners and so did I. That I was prepared to follow Christ. It was states that they expected Michael to stop smoking and drinking and sleeping in the office. I stated the issue over sleeping in the office was new to me ( I knew he had built the office and had special permission to sleep out and act as caretaker of all our equipment-I knew also other people slept in school room offices) and asked for time to talk with to Michael about this as he had been called away. I gave a copy of my diary entry for the elders to read regarding these issues. A meeting was arranged for Thursday of that week.

To: The elders Christian Church NBP


18 I SUMMARISED MY RESPONSE 109 th 19 December 2002 Further to my meeting on Sunday may I say that I now fully understand your position in seeking to secure the integrity of the church? Michael and I fully support your endeavours. I was unaware of the problem that you had in Michael sleeping in out Trojan Horse Office. I understood that he was sleeping there as a matter of security, looking after all our equipment. I did not realise you had a policy that no one was allowed to sleep in and have a personal room at the NBP Church. In light of this problem and my knowledge of Michael, I have suggested to him that he seek alternative accommodation in the New Year. This will prevent further problems with the Church through any inappropriate behaviour on his part. Mean while he will abide by the rules of your Institution. It is proposed that the Trojan Horse Office be in continuous use by officers of Trojan Horse. That it be set apart fro Trojan Horse International use. In practice this means myself and Pastor Lucas PP. Dangatan would share the office within its function continuing even after Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release. That this office be used for Trojan Horse business, which will include: Video productions, Counselling, Interviewing, Administration Business, Meetings, Teaching, Etc. I would like to continue the developments, which we have already set in motion. I believe this will greatly increase the good work, which Rev. Luca Dangatan has been responsible for in teaching the gospel and Training Teachers. I would also like to add that I have offered my services to teach on a voluntary basis Theology and develop links at University level in the United Kingdom and abroad. Trust this meets with your approval and acceptance and we apologies for any undue harm. David Clarke Copy furnished to:

I informed him that it would meet the approval of the Strict Baptists. Evangelical and Presbyterians in the Western World. I felt that I could then seek support from churches who wished to help in the work in the Teacher Training College as our level of education would be on par with Western Educational Standards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it may even lead them and fit in without long term proposals for our teachers and trainer who wished to teach the gospel to all the world. Lucas agreed with this proposal stating that a positive response from Michael would be all that is needed. 19 I Requested Our Cyber Helper To Help 18th December Here is the letter Dear Dolores Please foreword the encloses document to the solicitor Bell Pope, Ashley House, 5 Governor Square Southampton, United Kingdom E-mail address For attention of KLA Love David.

He was marched to the Hospital ward to be inspected by the Doctor. December 20th Friday because it was reported that Michael was a different man so he must be drunk. The reality is that we both feel so full of the joy of the Lord Jesus Christ is affecting all we do. Michael is getting married on the 24th and so it is a delightful occasion and even though I had news only a few weeks ago that my wife was divorcing me the Joy of our Lord was our strength. We were very happy about the progress and the good work that God had entrusted to us in the Prison. Michael enemies were watching him and seeking every occasion to discredit the work we were doing. A man Mr. Ging was moved by rage and anger and filed a charge against Michael stating He was drunk. The motive was probably unknown to the man concerned. Michael calls him the Gladiator because he is a big man and bouncer. I can vouch for later he became friends of Michael and I and I saw him posh 25 push ups using the bar bells (without a problem) and when I tried I to push one I could even push one, Observations To Date I am beginning to notice the behaviour of certain men. Men, who do not know Christ personally, but know of or about him. These men state they do not forgive and that Christ is not the only saviour, such hold on to resentment and are moved by envy


112 19 I REQUESTED OUR CYBER HELPER TO HELP and jealousy to speak evil behind the backs of others (carnality). These I noticed speak gossip putting themselves in a good light at the expense of others. These do not walk in love seeking to cover sin but rather to expose it in others. They have knowledge of religion and there were many in the prison 23rd December Sought to bring into the compound the electrical equipment, which we had permissions from the DOJ to bring but it was objected too. A report by the Engineer stated that the Church at NBPCC had no KWh meter and for that reason alone Mr. Veterbo refuse to allow me to bring in the equipment because according to him the electrical supply to the NBPCC was an illegal connection. I required the man in question that I would report this back to the elders and they would simple rectify the problem. I felt there was no real problem simply a matter of putting things right for the administration side of things. I felt what waste of time and was typical of the inefficiency that BUCA complains off and states the desire to change for the better. Initiative was all that was needed on some ones part to resolve the problem. I stated I would simple report back to the NBPCC and they would put the matter right in due course. Now please grant the permission. This ineffective way of doing things was typical of the problems that go on in the prison . A man could be dying in need of a blood transfusion lying upon the hospital bed whilst the guard argued about type of blood that was being brought in to the hospital operation table (with permissions) and as he could not read libel which indicated the type of blood being brought in he objected to it coming in as the permission say only one type and this blood coming in may by type P. The guard then stated is could be type O or P so it must be clarified, however he was to have his break now so after launch. Meanwhile as time passes the patient dies. I am not joking this is how things are. I felt disappointed with NBPCC and now wondered why Michael had had so much trouble with the electricity as frequently


19 I REQUESTED OUR CYBER HELPER TO HELP 113 the men at NBPCC would disconnect Michael supply and were in generally very uncooperative with him. It had seemed they were just being awkward to make things difficult for him. I knew they were working against him and the recent complaint levelled against me with respect to the alleged “Drinking Sprees” and about speaking to Richard Gatwood- a former drug dealer form London- in need of salvation etc, in the Office late at night. They had problems with me singing with Bucla’s- (Girl boys who are in need of salvation) was beginning to form. These men, the ELDERS were in fact the Pharisees of old. They are the so-called builders of Gods Kingdom but they had forgotten from whence they had come and pride had lifted them up. All these men are convicted notorious criminals, some murderers, thief ’s, drug dealer etc but unable to see that they too were once in the grip of sins. Some of them had illegal cell phones drank alcohol (I had done so with them). They had a commission to, like me, to go into the world and teach men the gospel so that sinners might be saved. They had forgotten the place of their birth and now considered sinners, just like them to be too evil for them to take too. They now with an evil eye (another demon spirit) now speak evil of a true gospel minister. I cannot help but think that these men would find fault with Jesus and put Jesus to death as second time if he came to them again. I write to the Elders Ire thier llegal use of Electricity In my simple way I wrote to the Elders directly giving a copy to Lucas Dangatan first and then Andy Dolin the next day: To: Elders NBP Christian Church Copy Furnished to: Director Macala Videl Trojan Horse Liaison Officer Officer Engineer Officer Vertibo Superintendent Dear Elders,


114 19 I REQUESTED OUR CYBER HELPER TO HELP th 24 December 2002 Re: Illegal Use Of Electricity In The Bible Centre I was very disappointed on Monday evening when I discovered that our equipment for making video shots for Trojan Horse work, which included the film footage of the Wedding, was stopped from entering the Compound and our Trojan Horse Officer. The reason given was because the electricity supply to the Bible Institute was illegal. The Officer, an engineer out side Gate one, informed The Technical Officer that the supply of electricity to the Bible Institute was in fact illegal. It would appear that this was the reason why we had been give so much hassle in bringing in our equipment for our video work, all the times since October through to December 31st. This problem caused us so much delay that we have now sought permission from the DOJ to extend the time requested to complete our work If you will remember I gave to the Bible Institute the sum of P 2000 in September 2001 for a KW hour meter and it was installed. Why did you not seek to have it properly installed lawfully? You had called both Michael and I to account for behaviour, which was considered by you, as dishonourable and in appropriate i.e. drinking Tuba and mixing with Baklaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and sinners like Richard Gatwood. Practices, which you considered to be unacceptable behaviour and it, brought the Bible Centre into disrepute. Now it was discovered that for a whole year the Bible Institute have been running an illegal power supply connection and obtaining electricity without payment. A practice the Director him self is having to resolve to satisfy the Electricity supply company. I have assured the Officer Engineer that I will bring this to your attention and ask you to put this matter right as soon as you can. It is only right and proper that we all honour the rules and


19 I REQUESTED OUR CYBER HELPER TO HELP 115 regulations of the BUCA. Thankfully Videl had a legitimate power supply to his building 11b and were able to bring in our equipment under his protection and legitimate supply of electricity. This saved our day. I felt so very disappointed and let down by you all. I now realise you are culpable and like all men fail others sometimes. Love how ever covers a multitude of sins. Yours Sincerely Rev. David Clarke. PS The Elders took offence at this letter and felt the need to justify their deeds. The Wedding Day 24th December Lucas had informed me that I was to be the one to conduct the wedding blessing for Michael. Benilda and I arrived at Gate one at 8.00 am sharp and entered without too much delay. There were already queen mainly women presumably the wives and relatives of inmates. I had no problem with the Macintosh Powerbook and went straight into see Michael with Benilda. I waited for Deloris our Cyber women from the Internet Office and was please to see her come at 8.20 am. We had not problem in entering the prison as she was entered in as a Trojan Horse assistant and my personal assistant. Her friend also who I met from the Internet arrived and we were pleased also to see him. Things were busy with visitors calling. I went to see Mr. Vertibo regarding the TV and Audio equipment and he said I must bring the equipment out immediately after the event of the wedding. The metal fane and DVD player was not allowed in. The equipment was checked inside and out for and it was them transported under the supervision of Mr. Vertibo through Gate 4. I had four men assigned by a God Marshall Rescuer team carry the equipment to our Trojan Horse Office. I later was called to the main gate to collect and bring in


116 19 I REQUESTED OUR CYBER HELPER TO HELP Benilda family who had travel from Laguna that morning, There was Mr. And Mrs. Esuaggar the two little girl, the older girl and her friend an young nephew and a friend of Sheena. Alex the man who did reflexology arrived and I invited in him in to Michael Room and he kindly offered to massage my hands and feet which was very helpful and relaxing He offered to teach Dolorise how to massage and stated he had charts on reflexology and would make a movie for us showing us how to do this. I asked Dolores to pay him what was a fair sum for his assistance. During the whole activity Michael showed us and made some movie stock shots of the occasion. He was called by vide with a note by a runner to go and video the killing of the Pig. I did not like the thought at all. Poor animal. I then realized this was a bloody picture designed by God to show us the horror of sin. The animal had to die to provide skins to cover Adam and eve and for the man after they had sinned. A picture of the death of Christ to save sinners from the wrath to come. We set up the audio equipment in Vidalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dorm 11B it was great. The Karaoke worked well and the magic Mic. The wedding was due to start at 3.00 pm but an s usual Philippine time stretch the start to 3.30 pm. I had been give not instruction regarding conduct etc Michael had given me no script so I relied on custom, and prepared in y mind the whole idea of what a marriage was. I was the joining together on one man and one women by promises made to each other before God, angels and a congregation. I called me to witness and asked was there any who thought there was any grounds to why they should not be joint together. There were no objections. Nick Caranay assisted in opening Prayer and providing me with a Scripture regarding Adam and eve becoming one flesh. It was straight forward blessing of the marriage. The legal side was to be completed later by Lucas once the paperwork was through. It reminded me of the birth of a child with no certificate of birth, the child was truly alive and kicking but without the certificate


20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON 117 of birth it was not a legal item effectively did not exist. So with Marriage. Michael and Benilda were married the certificate and legal papers were to follow. This was my first Trojan Horse Marriage. After the wedding I went with the God Marshall to the try and get Prince Charles release form confinement as he had been confined to his room for the not payment of extortion money. They wanted ÂŁ50 for electricity. 20 Head Coverings Olgar Robertson 25th December Neola and I went to see Olga Robertson at her home on the reservation and had a meal with her friends. Olga had arrived from America and shared with me some of her experiences. Are These Men Born Again ? I gave her a copy of our book and she asked me if all these men who had written their testimonies were born again. I state to her that I was not going to judge that that they must stand by what they have written. That I had not changed a word even though Gordon Smith had wanted me to remove from Hectors Maquedaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testimonies his references to TULP and hard Calvinism as he called it. He wanted to make the testimony accepted to men and not to cause offence. I had to say no to this and maintained we were not to do that as that was changing his testimony. If this happens he wood be like the Pope of Rome seeking to alter things to please men. Olga Tells Of A Man For Wearing A Hat In Her House Olga told off one of her men who was wearing a hat in her house she was very curt with him asking him what do he think he was doing wearing his hat in her room. I was amused how he obeyed her without question and so I asked Olga did she cover her head when worshiping God. She said NO ! and looked at me with a question mark on her face. Women Should Cover Their Heads To Worship God


118 20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON The point I was making was that the covering of the head of a man, when in the presence of God in worship, was a dishonour to his head who is the Lord Jesus. This being the Apostle Paul’s argument and case. However Olga Robertson was taking offence at this man and told him so by saying it was a dishonoured to her by wearing his hat in her dinning room. The Apostle Paul goes on to say that on to say that if a woman did not cover her head in the presence of God in worship then she dishonours her head (the man). Her defiant No told me a lot. 26th December Went to the Department of Justice and Court of Appeals to see the Hon. Justice Eliezer De Los Santos the man who has signed the petition for Wolfgang to be released. He informed me they were waiting on the signature of the third judge. This man was a very pleasant man and spoke to me freely about his work. He informed me that he had sentence the first men fro Angeles City to death in 1997 and that as yet there have not been executed. He suggested I might visit them mat NBP on Death Row and see how he was. He informed me that the man in question was clutching a bible and so he asked if he were s Christian. On his reply to the affirmative Hon. Justice Eliezer said to his parents then he must deal with him even more sternly for forsaking the commandment of God. I called to see Jose Calida giving him a copy of Olga Robertson’s book “The Men in my life all 9000” And informed him of our intention to make a Movie regarding Shay Cullen. He said as far as the DOJ were concerned it was a private matter but said we should assume Cullen will make a laws suit against us. Lucas was off to Baguio to see William Poloc so called to the Bank to draw the money from Michaels account. I gave him William Pollock’s Allowance but had a mental picture of the boy who gave to Jesus two small fishes and five loaves. In Jesus hands


20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON 119 this daily provision for the young boy a provision provided by his fathers hand, was used to feed 5000. The disciples collected up 12 baskets of left over. This signified to me a principle that if we like this child, give all our daily provision to the Lord Jesus Christ, then in his hands it will proved for all he is ministering and afterwards the ministers or Apostles daily provision. Signified by the 12 baskets of food collected after the event. I shared this story with Lucas and said I believed it was to us all. I took great comfort from it. The amount was P6600 for Pollock and P4400 expenses as he had made certain arrangements in Baguio City Jail and other things. I was rather a shocked and surprised as I had already said I did not wish to spoken P3000 on a Christmas party for the Inmates at Baguio City Jail as I had had all my belongings stolen and I had to watch my money. I had suggested he look to the church that supported him, as they would be pleased to help because I was concerned our funds would be soon gone. So I asked Lucas to look into it.

Divorce Petition My wife Helen has sued for a divorce; in my absence- two weeks after I left for the Philippines- and I have responded as shown bellow. I wish you to be a witness to my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intent along with David Mugford from the Evangelical Church at Titchfield. Please see bellow. I am the Respondent and Helen is the Petitioner. I have responded to my wife Petition for a divorce (See this prayer below) as follows: Wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prayer and The Suit is that the Marriage be dissolved


20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON 121 due to the Petitioner belief that the said marriage has broken down irretrievably. The Petitioner has put the following particulars forward: The Respondent had behaved in such a way that the Petitioner cannot be expected to live with the respondent. The Petitioner and the Respondent separated on November 1998, as the result of the Respondent’s unreasonable behaviour. Whenever the parties argued, the Respondent would telephone the police. Often these arguments took place in the presence of the parties’ young daughter. The Petitioner feared the Social Services would become involved as a consequence, and therefore felt she had no option to separate from the Respondent. The Respondent made it quite clear that he would not alter his behaviour and would often goad the Petitioner by going to the phone and placing his finger on the 9 button. The Respondent tried to control the Petitioner. He wanted her to call him “Lord”, to obey him totally, and be “subject” to him. Both parties have strong religious faith but the Respondent tried to use religion, and their daughter, as a way to manipulate the Petitioner and could not understand why she found it totally unacceptable. The Respondent had four Children from a previous marriage. He would regularly intimidate and humiliate the Petitioner in front of them, stating she was not a “proper wife” and treated her like a child. The Respondent also tried to control the Petitioner by withholding money and attempted to blackmail the Petitioner into submission. The respondent made no secret of the fact that he wanted the Petitioner and their daughter to return to him and that he would support them financial, failing which he would not. The Respondent believes that the Petitioner has demons within her and in past has tried to cast these out as she has slept. The respondent maintains his attempt to control the


122 20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON respondent despite the fact that they have been separated for some time. He still with holds financial support and last year placed a Family Law Notice upon her property, thereby preventing her from selling, despite the fact that he lived at that property for a very brief period and has a property of his own. Within the past few days the Petitioner had to involve the Police when the Respondent came to her property, refusing to accept the fact she was divorcing him. The Respondent replies as follows: The Respondent does not believe the marriage is irretrievably broken down unless it is the intent of the Petitioner. The Respondent maintains the Petitioner desired an overt marital relationship and not the covert relationship of a normal Christian Marriage. That the Petitioner has broken covenant with the Respondent. Particulars The Respondent separated from the Petitioner due to the demands made by the Petitioner to leave their home. The Petitioner was unable to control her anger with the Respondent in front of Rebekah and so the Respondent had to on one or two to resort to Police to intervention because her feared harm would come to Rebekah. On one occasion the Respondent had to call the policed due to an assault by the Petitioner on the respondent. This took place because the Respondent sought to walk away from an argument. The petitioner smashed a cup on the back of the head of the Respondent. A Fareham Police constable warned the Petitioner that she would be place under arrest if she continued to behave in this threatening and harmful way. The Petitioner considered this to be unreasonable and mocked the policeman. The Petitioner expressed her wish for a Christian Marriage due to the desire to turn from a past history of adultery and sin. The Respondent drew up a statement regarding his view of a Christian Marriage and this expressed the personal understanding of what


20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON 123 a Christian Marriage was. The Petitioner appears to reject that this view is a true interpretation of the scripture as the scripture exhorts women to reverence their husband and call him Sir (or lord) a tradition Christian view. Seeâ&#x20AC;? A Fresh Look at Christian Marriageâ&#x20AC;?, by David Clarke (Appendix 14 Trojan Warriors ISBN number. The Respondent sought to implement the values of Christian morals in the marriage but the Petitioner resisted them and refused to accept them as governing rules of conduct when it crossed her ideas of right and wrong. The Respondent does not accept the behaviour of the Petitioners to be reasonable and so fails in her role of a good wife to the respondent. The Respondent does not believe a Christian should divorce a partner unless in the case of adultery - even then it in not obligatory. The Petitioner has other ideas. The Respondent accepts the Petitioner has other beliefs and values and is not prepared to be controlled by the Petitioner. The Respondent supports the Petitioner financially but not in a way which suites the Petitioner. The Respondent believes the Petitioner has an undisclosed illness in the form of a personality disorder. There is no known psychiatric cure for such disorders. The Respondent believes the Petitioner to be demonised, which is a Christian view of such a mental disorder. Freudian philosophy and modern Psychiatry opposes the Christian concept of demonology that is accepted in other cultures. It is simply a matter of belief and opinion. The family Law Act is a mechanism to preserve the rights of the marital partners in the event of a dispute. The Respondent sought protection in law to secure his interest in the family home. The Respondent believes the Petitioner to be unreasonable in this issue. The Petitioner objected to the Police being called out to an incident of assault when perpetrated on the Respondent. How


124 20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON ever the Petitioner maintains a right to call the police to support an opinion, which was not held by the Respondent. The Respondent believes the Petitioner to be distressed and beyond reason and is a symptom of an illness already mentioned. Your Help Requested The said marriage only be dissolved under the following conditions: The Petitioner will make a statement in writing, before two witnesses (I request the Minister of her Church -The Evangelical Church Titchfield, Mr. David Mugford, of 18 Fair Isle Close Stubbington and the Minister from the Christian Gospel Church, of which I am a member â&#x20AC;&#x201C;the Rev. Peter Jacobs, of 77a Marine Parade, Lee on Solent, Hampshire, stating that: She is of a sound mind and this is her wish before God. That she will continue to educate my daughter Rebekah Alice Clarke in the Christian faith as expressed in the Articles of religion and Faith of the Evangelical Church in Titchfield, of which the Petitioner is a member. That the Petitioner will agree for Rebekah to be included on the Respondents Passport. The Petitioner will allow correspondence via e-mail with my daughter and via mobile or text phone That an undertaking be given that should she become ill, disabled or die prematurely that I will have immediate care of my daughter Rebekah Alice Clarke without hindrance or let from my wife family of friends or future husband. Please see the enclosed declaration statement. No objection is made (either public or privately) to my Last Will and Testament being changed in favour of my family. That the Petitioner will not object to a video presentation to the Judge (if need be in the Respondents absence and to be supplied before hand) in response to the Petitioners Divorce Petition. This being necessary, due to the time factor and is the only way the Respondent feels he can give to give a coherent,


20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON 125 efficiently and effectively a response to the Petitioner’s Statement. The Respondent finds writing very cumbersome and ineffective due to his disability. COSTS That the Petitioner presents the Respondent with a fair statement regarding a financial settlement. This will avoid the Respondent having to defend his rights via a Solicitor and so avoid any further unnecessary costs and drain on the Legal Aid fund. Respondent’s Suggestions Are: Cost: That the Petitioner meets the Respondents costs. The Respondent will keep these to the minimum by dealing with these issues in person. They will be zero if no suits for cost are sought. Ancillary Relief The Petitioner drops the petition with respects to Ancillary Relief and agrees to the following: No order for pending maintenance except for that dictated by the Child Support Agency. No Periodical payment order except that dictated by the Child Support Agency No lump sum order unless the Petitioner wishes to give the respondent financial support. No Property Adjustment Order. I.e. that there be no claim on house owner ships and that the ownerships are preserved in each other’s name. I.e. I have no claim on my wife’s property and she has no claim on my property (My property is Rebekah’s). The Petitioner assigns the Endowment Policy, taken out in joint names, with Scottish Widow, to the Respondent. No order under section 24B, 24B or 25C of the Act of 1973 (Pension Sharing Attachment Order). I.e. that we have no claim on each others private or company pension (The Respondent only has a teachers pension which is frozen. This occurred when


126 20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON the Respondent was made redundant in August 2001). The Respondent is allowed a to support his Daughter financially when the funds are available without let of hindrance from the Petitioner. For the Children No periodic payments order. Except dictated by the Child Support Agency and voluntary provision as mention above. I.e. That the Petitioner abides by the Child Supports Agency decision regarding financial support for Rebekah Alice Clarke. No secured provision order. Except as provide by Law in connection with Child Support. No Lump sum order. Except if the Petitioner wishes the Respondent and Rebekah to benefit. That she will allow a joint account in the names of Rebekah Alice Clarke and David Clarke. (Suggestion it the Nation Wide Building Society West Street Fareham- this account has set up since our separation in 1998 but awaits the respondents signature) Declaration Statement Name: Helen Nicola ________________ Date of Declaration: I Helen Nicola Clarke do solemnly declare that it is my desire to divorce David Clarke according to the statement entitled “Divorce Petition” submitted as number PO02b189 to The Portsmouth County Court. I before, the following witnesses, state that I am of sound mind and have read and noted the contents of David Clarke published beliefs entitled “ A fresh look at the concept of Christian Marriage. See enclosed: Appendix 14. Trojan Horse: The Biblical View of Marriage Published 11th September 2002. I give my undertaking that should I become ill, disabled or die prematurely, that Mr. David Clarke, Rebekah’s natural father, will have immediate care of our daughter Rebekah Alice Clarke (daughter to the Petitioner and Respondent) without hindrance or let from my family or friends or

Did you get the ones where I told of my morning? Devotions. I have contacted Peter Jacobs quite some time ago with a view to arrange for a spot for Gordon And I to share your trip in your church. But until today not had a time given. I have talked to him today after your email and had. A long conversation and I can say that he is caring for you and you are being held up in prayer. God bless have got to go now to work Alistair. Delivered my letter to Pastor Andy Dolin Regarding the electricity Meter. Had a shock by receiving a text message I thought it was from Alastair in England. It said please pay the phone bill 2845.00. I was really concerned because I had lost my mobile and reported it missing in England and wondered ho this bill could be so high. I text back to ask Alastair if it was him and wanted and account. A bill for £2805 pounds was out of order and was just able to have the phone cut off when a text came back from Neola to say it was her phone bill for my call to England it was 2850 pesos. Phew! I was relived. Letter from Dr. Tuico I received a letter from Pst. Tuico in response to mine of


128 20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON the two dates. I have it in mined to respond in a way which is appropriate as it demonstrates my feelings were correct he is our of order and a backbiter. Here is his the letter: Dear Mr. David Clarke I received you letter of November 25th 2002 and the one of December 15th and I was very surprised to say the least, that in a second (2) letter, you were talking about my behaviour which you said you consider offensive. You were also talking about a response to the said letter which you consider to be borne out of ignorance even concluding such as unbecoming of a “man professing Godliness”. I am not really in the habit of dignifying such an impertinent letter (Excuse me of saying so, but it is indeed), but since I must continue looking at everyone I must look at you now with the love of Christ in my heart, let me therefore continue if only to clarify a few points of truth and reality for your own good. First, I want you to know that until this time I Have not responded to you letter and that I have not seen even your shadow for a long, long time and I really do not know you nor am I even aware of the things to and you group are doing. You are, therefore, in no position, having no basis at all, to judge my character, much less question my kind of Christianity. I never professed Godliness, as you claim in you letter. What I profess is Christ in my life, if you know what that means. It could be that you were informed that I instructed my people in SonLight Ministries not to have anything to do with you and your group (Trojan Warriors) and what you are doing until we are absolutely certain about some things. This information is true and I really gave such an instruction because we do not know you and your group (Trojan Warriors). We do not know you agenda. The only thing I know about you is you are Michael’s (an


20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON 129 inmate serving a sentence in Maximum Security Compound) brother and I really do not know much about him, and so the instruction. Outside of this, I do not remember any act I did or words I uttered that could have caused you so much offence as to lead you to make a very hasty, unfair and unkind judgment of my person. Any way, you may be truly running true to form because when I tried gathering information about you and you Trojan Warriors, following point came to light: Feedback from England is telling us that your Trojan Warriors is not registered in that country. If this is true, then you must have been lying to us all along. You are here in the Philippines as a visitor (visitors) of out people and government enjoying our Hospitality and goodwill. Your Christian ethics should have told you that it is the height of arrogance and self-righteousness to return ill will for goodwill and hostility for hospitality. Your have been speaking ill of you hosts (The Philippine Government and Filipino People) when you talk to foreigners and locals alike. You even may be unknowingly leave evidence of this in you book about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trojan Warriorsâ&#x20AC;? by saying that in the Philippines crime suspect are considered guilty until proven innocent, even making distinction between Britain and you host country (The Philippines). Did you notify Undersecretary Calida about you defamatory remarks contained in the book before somebody mislead him into allowing his message and his photograph ton appear in your book. Only Citizens of a democratic country, in exercise of their democratic right and privilege, are allowed such a luxury of criticizing the Government. Visitors like you are only meant to enjoy and respond with gratitude to our hospitality and gestures of good will.


130 20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON And now regarding you severe criticism of the conditions in Death Row and the entire Maximum Security Compound. Your have pictured the conditions in the Maximum Security Compound as so bad to reflect severely on the respectability of the people running the penal system of the country, from the Secretary of Justice down to the Director of the Bureau of Corrections as sadists relishing the suffering of prisoner in a deliberately created adverse conditions. And deliberately or not you failed to mention the leniency and humane treatment being accorded the inmates. In fact, you have and your group have been beneficiaries of this leniency every time you stay inside the Maximum Security Compound up to 11.00 pm in the evening, according to many witnesses, drinking wine with some VIP inmates. Have you revealed to Director MACALA and the Officialdom of the Department of Justice the caricature you have drawn of them as you exaggerated on the bad conditions In the Maximum Security Compound while omitting the leniency humane handling of inmates that can be found and experienced only here in the Philippines and nowhere else? I hope I have not offended you in any more that what you say I have already done. But just in case you feel this reply of mine in any way offensive please forgive me. It is not my desire to offend you or any one else. It is only my wish to clear the air between everything and us of anything that is not of God for your good and mine. God Bless you and keep you In Christ Dr. Oliver R Tuico Head Pastor SonLight Ministries Inc.

APPENDICES 2 VERIFICATION CERTIFICATE 131 Rev, Joseph Kim, Head Pastor, Jesus is the Christ. Any way you may be truly running to form. No relationship with Dolores I was concerned that a relationship with Dolores could develop, as I was fully aware and realised that by my wife’s actions by the divorce suit, I was potentially free. She had made the decision to divorce me in which case could re marry. How ever I felt it important to explain to Delores that it would be wrong for me to have a relationship with a women at the present time as I was already married and that although we had been separated for over 4 years we had a little girl called Rebekah and my wife had decided to divorce me. I stated that my wife was in the process of suing me for a divorce (without any justifiable grounds- in fact she had informed Lucas Dangatan of the reason which he needs to elaborated on- HelensltrtoPeterJacob.doc). I explained that I believed divorce was wrong because we should conduct our lives like the pattern shown us in the bible. The pattern shown by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. He will never divorce his church- he died to save her from her sins. I directed her to my book Appendix 15 in Trojan Warriors” a fresh look at Christian marriage. I did not wish for a divorce as I had a little girl and I knew this was right. I had loved my wife and I had expressed that I wished for us to be reconciled –even for our daughter, Rebekah’s sake, who was only 5 years old. In fact Gordon Smith, our Mission pastor, how ever had on more than one occasion, encourage me to seek divorce proceedings against her. I did not how ever believe him to be right. I had also sought the support and help of my Pastor Peter Jacob and my wife’s Pastor, David Mugford, a senior man, back in England, but all to no avail. They did not wish to help me. In fact I was informed by David Mugford that he was only prepared to help Helen and he insisted I did not go to the church where my wife attended and was later baptised- I had also been informed that I was not welcome at the Titchfield Evangelical


132 20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON Church as it distressed my wife to see me there. This was told me face to face in the presence of David Mugford at a meeting held for such an occasion by a women elder called Val. I received her e-mail from our Cyber Woman stating she understood and thanked me for being honest with her about every thing. I spoke in the evening to Mr. Fish and several of his colleagues who are Sputnik members and we share my desire to join the brotherhood. This suggestion was received very warmly. Called into the cyber office and sent an e-mail to Pet Jacobs requesting his help with the letter of support for my application to stay in the Philippines. 29th December 2002 Went with Belinda’s children (Sheen’s) and family friends to Laguna and meet some of Belinda’s friends. The lady of the house, Sheena’s boy friends mother was sitting on the floor using hair colouring to keep her hair black. I remembered that Undersecretary Jose Calida saying all I needed was to put on some weight and dress in a read suit and I could be mistaken for Father Christmas because of my white hair and Beard. I smiled and said to the lady would the hair colour darken my beard so I would not look like Father Christmas. Laughingly they assisted in trying to darken my beard. The result was dark streak and a black face. We went to the Internet café to send a message to England and introduce Jiuodi to Simon Kenyan by e-mail. I then received and e-mail for Pet Jacobs stating he had received evil reports of my conduct and would not support me in my application for a missionary visa in the Philippines. He also denied helping in respect to my wife suing for a divorce. I felt let down but not alone as the Lord stood by me. I then recalled the Apostle Paul stating that all men forsaken him. I was informed in the e-mail from my pastor that Gani, Gordon, Alastair and another person who had contacted him


20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON 133 by e-mail. It was apparent that he had been furnished by an evil report but no details were given, just that all 66 men had with drawn their testimonies and that Pastor Lucas had disassociated him from me etc. All of which I knew nothing about. I knew that Lucas was living with me and no one had requested a withdrawal of a testimony. I had upset a pastor who was a bigamist and also provoked a backbiter to write to me. I realised that Satan was at work and so I rejoiced. Praise God. I sent the e-mail to Lucas and my prayer is that good men will examine the case as my church now had cut me off- but I am not alone the Lord stood by me- the Lord has open a great door that man cannot shut. Later that evening Wendi, a friend of Benilda, who was a Buclaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, asked me why I had streaks of dark patches on my face. All the youngster began to laugh. He or should I say she offered to shave me and remove the black face. I agreed to the offer of Help. I later spoke to Wendi about the fall of Adam and Eve and its effects on the human race that the distinctions between man and women are being eroded the effect being those affected many loose out. God wants us to enjoy the best of everything. 30th December Went to Makarti to purchase a new transformed for the Karaoke mike and have the radio Microphone repaired. Dolorise offered to help and accompany me and to help buy me some cloths as all my others were stolen in Baguio. I valued the help as I was a stranger in a foreign Country and needed help with calling taxis cabs and dealing with fares. Etc. Called Allan Atkins on the phone and said I wanted to meet him re the movie we had agreed to make with Harry Hoost etc. In the Evening, in Alabang, I believe the Lord spoke to me about the many difficulties that had presented themselves to us all in the Philippines and England. I felt a newsletter to all the Trojan Warriors and those concerned was appropriate in order


134 20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON to give them an update and lead them in a way, which that was scriptural, and exhort them to follow Christ and not men. I really felt we could all learn a lot from such an exercis. That by sharing with our men all about the difficulties and evils that had taken place I could then show the hand of Satan which is very clearly seen to those who have eyes to see, and direct them in the way of the Lord. That each warrior could then act in knowledge as so be encouraged to follow Christ and not men. It being belief we should be follow men as they follow Christ. I felt I had a lot to share and good would come of all the difficulties that had presented themselves to us all. I felt it would stand us in good stead for the future work to which we have all been called. I felt my diary was a very good record of such events and would be the starting point. I would write about the bad practices of the born again Christians in New Bilibid Prison. The bad practice of speaking evil about people behind peoples back- backstabbing. About opinions as to who Christian should associate. Whether it is right to go to a bar where bar girls were and Buclaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Met. Whether the singing of secular songs with sinners was appropriate. Misunderstandings regarding (In appropriate) humour, comments regarding Tuba. Informing and dealing with money matters for the ministry. Stolen property and items of the Ministry such as ATM cards and lost credentials. Financing Mission members. The running and organisation of Trojan Horse International Ministries and the Affiliation with The Teacher Training College at New Bilibid Prison. (Lucas P. Dangatan being the first Hon. President. Affiliations with other ministries. Dealing with issues of groups of men who dissaccisiate them selves from others. Dealing with evil reports such as that of Nick Caranay by Isagani. Dealing with evil reports/lies and misunderstandings with Churches and organisation abroad. Dealing with registrations of Ministries and visa applications. Marital problems divorce issues. Re marriages etc. Relationships etc. All good stuff.


20 HEAD COVERINGS OLGAR ROBERTSON 135 Our newsletter I suggested it should contain items on our direction as Trojan Horse International Ministries and mission goals. The difficulties of dealing with objections raised about drinking wine within or without New Bilibid Prison. All good stuff. 31st December New Years Eve Dolorese came in the A.M. and I was invited for some food at her mothers home. Shared with Michael the solution to the many difficulties that had presented themselves to us all his views were in fact very complimentary and did not conflict with the long term objectives of the Trojan Horse goals and objectives. “Cita” spoke to me regarding my mariatal problems and offered to help. I was grateful and asked her to talk with Lucas and communicate with my wife. An inmate challenged me to give scripture reference as my assertion that Jesus drank wine. He was adamant that I was in error and did not know my bible. So I showed him just one reference in Luke 7. This passage clearly states that Jesus said him self that he was classified as a winebibber by the self-righteous because he eat and drank wine with publicans and sinners. I was invited to be the guest speaker at the military and PNP Inmates Association News Years Eve Party. This was an honour and I share with them to message contained in the boy who gave five loaves and two fishes to the Lord Jesus. The message was that if we give to the Lord all our daily provision (provision given as by our heavenly Father etc) then the hands of the Lord Jesus then multitudes are feed and also there will be left over for the support of the Apostolic Ministry (signified by the Twelve baskets of left over) That the Child like faith of this boy is an example to us all. This was the word given me and has sustained me for many days. Welcomed the New Year at Dolores’s mothers home, on the reservation compound and sheared with her a little about the

Matth. 25, verse 36

FOREWORD by Ricardo Macala It is both a privilege and pleasure to write the foreword of this book in my capacity as Director of the Bureau of Corrections. By the grace of the Almighty God, I accepted this challenge with the knowledge that people are put in prison, not for further punishment, but rather that they may benefit from their confinement and re-enter the community with positive attitudes. The Bureau’s mission is the orderly rehabilitation of its wards when clearly their spiritual upliftment is of major significance. A former prisoner, Reverent Lucas P. Dangatan, Jr. founded the New Bilibid Prison Christian Church and Theological Institute in 1989 after his release. Just recently, he was appointed President of the Trojan Horse International Christian Ministries (Philippines) Incorporated, in recognition of his spiritual guidance extended to past and present inmates. The work of Trojan Horse Ministries and other similar organization is truly impressive as manifested by the sixty-five testimonies of former hardcore criminals who have been imbued with the Holy Spirit. This book focuses on these people who are a small, but important illustration of how “faith moves mountains”. Clearly any guidance of this nature is wholly empathetic with


APPENDIX 1 FOREWORD BY DIRECTOR MACALA NBP 137

the Bureau’s mission and I, as Director, will ensure the prison records of those who have “positively found their way” will attest the same in support of “Executive Clemency” application. It has been said that people are responsible for the result of the organisations that they serve. Nobody can really argue with that statement, but it remains most apposite in the “correction” industry. All of us must pull together in ensuring the Bureau of Corrections succeeds in its mission and objectives. Accordingly, I extend my thanks and gratitude to all the “Trojan Horses” in our community and wish them success. Ad infinitum. P/Col Ricardo B. Macala. Hon.

The Petition wrote To: Head Pastor/Director NBPCC-NBPTI Pastor, We the undersigned Elders and Officers, wish to bring to your attention that on or about 7.30 in the evening of 26th November 2002 the brothers Clarke and a certain Richard Gatwood (also a British National from 9D1) had a drinking spree inside the Trojan Horse Office (Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room): that the liquor/tuba was


APPENDIX 3 FIRST PETITION AGAINST TROJAN HORSE 139

brought in by inmate Gatwood that around 9.00 pm David went home smelling of liquor; that days before this incident, Michael had been observed several times to be under the influence of Liquor whenever he goes home to his room at night; and on the 23rd November, a certain Benilda (his girlfriend) stayed with him over night. Please be informed, likewise, that before Michael’s transfer to his present room, several complaints have been aired against his discourteous behaviour actuations---seen several times smoking inside our Church/school; bringing some none Christian friends during the night time for a drinking spree at the Bible Centre; and that he always displays a “bossy” attitude whenever confronted. This un-warranted behaviour of Michael is a flagrant violation of Section 2, Article VIII of our Constitution and By Laws of 1999, as amended. We allay our apprehension that, should Michael continue with this illegal activity of drinking liqueur/tuba within our Church/School, time will come that he will be caught flat footed by the Patrol Unit or Monitoring Unit of the BUCOR, thus would bring irreparable damage and desecration to this Institution. It is our ardent prayer, therefore, that to pre-empt such occurrence and to preserve the sanctity and integrator of the Bible Centre we strongly petition for the immediate closure of the Trojan Horse Office/room and be transferred to another place/venue.

I refer the reader to Appendix 01 Richard Gatwoodas none of these men acted biblically I never sought to give any explanation or deny false accusations)--------------------end Appendix 4 My Response To The Petition December 15th 2002 We met the Elders In the Afternoon Michael and I met with the elders as they had convened a meeting to decide the future of The Trojan Horse office. It had been brought to their attention that Michael attitude and behavior to some had been unacceptable. He was irritable and awkward and ill mannered which was contrary to certain rules. Also it had been noted that Michael had been seen drinking Tuba and smoking in the Prison and office. That a certain Richard Gatwood11 had been seen late at night in the office and Michael and I had had a drinking spree with him I left the office I was smelling of Tuba. It was later revealed that they were unhappy about Michael using the office as a dormitory they called it a Cabool and now it was not an office but Michael’s room. They did not like this 11 See Appendices 01 “Daily Diary” January 31st to March 14th 2002/3 subject: Richard Gatwood


APPENDIX 4 MY RESPONSE TO THE PETITION 141 because no one else was allowed in there it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like an office they wanted i.e. That they could us it at anytime at all. It was stated that no one was allowed to us the schoolrooms as his or her Cabool or as their room. They stated they did not know what we were doing in the office and it was stated they did not believe Michael. It was stated Michael was a liar. The summery was that drinking Tuba and smoking was against the rules of the institution and they were concerned about Michael bringing disrepute upon the whole institute. That Tuba drinking was not allowed in the prison and if caught would lead to prison discipline. Any behavior, which broke the Prison Rules, left the Bible Institute open to questionable behavior, which they did not want. I Summarized My Response As Follow I had been disappointed with Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attitude and behavior and had spoken to him about this during the second week of our Mission. The Team had also witness my opposition to him but did not approve of me arguing with him over these issues in front of them or others. That as a result I had sacked Michael from his position to his great disappointment. I was also unaware of the rules of their institution and Prison rules. I was disappointed in Michael for not informing me or deliberately breaking the rules. That I had asked Pastor Andy to direct me to two good men who would spend tome with me to share with me the values and ways the culture- nothing had happened. I wanted to know about customs, which were different to the West and may affect the Bible Institute. I was aware that Tuba was not allowed but I knew of many rules that prisoners do not keep such as possessing cellular phones, weapons for gang warfare, drinking Tuba living in with unmarried women. I stated that I had no problem in conscience over drinking Tuba or wine with Sinners and informing them that I was not a drunkard. Michael was then called away to Gate one to see his future


142 APPENDIX 4 MY RESPONSE TO THE PETITION parents in law. I continued and stated that I did not smoke but could do so if I wanted too. I chose not to do so. My belief being that the Kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking but righteousness and joy in the Holy Ghost that what one drank or eat did not make a man unclean but rather that the evil thoughts that come from the heart and spoken words out of his mouth these defile a man. I stated that That I as a guest was very happy to keep the rules of the house this was the least I could do but stated I believed them to be wrong to expect me to stop drinking with sinners such a Buclaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Girl Men) outside the prisoners in homes or bars or night clubs as I sought to preach the gospel to men- the entire world. I stated Jesus drank wine with sinners and so did I. That I was prepared to follow Christ. It was stated that they expected Michael to stop smoking and drinking and sleeping in the office. I stated the issue over sleeping in the office was new to me ( I knew he had built the office and had special permission to sleep out and act as caretaker of all our equipment-I knew also other people slept in school room offices) and asked for time to talk with to Michael about this as he had been called away. I gave a copy of my diary entry for the elders to read regarding these issues. A meeting was arranged for Thursday of that week. My Reply To The Elders Meeting To: The elders Christian Church NBP 19th December 2002 Further to my meeting on Sunday may I say that I now fully understand your position in seeking to secure the integrity of the church? Michael and I fully support your endeavours. I was unaware of the problem that you had in Michael sleeping in out Trojan Horse Office. I understood that he was sleeping there as a matter of security, looking after all our equipment. I did not


APPENDIX 4 MY RESPONSE TO THE PETITION 143 realize you had a policy that no one was allowed to sleep in and have a personal room at the NBP Church. In light of this problem and my knowledge of Michael, I have suggested to him that he seek alternative accommodation in the New Year. This will prevent further problems with the Church through any inappropriate behavior on his part. Mean while he will abide by the rules of your Institution. It is proposed that the Trojan Horse Office be in continuous use by officers of Trojan Horse. That it be set apart fro Trojan Horse International use. In practice this means myself and Pastor Lucas P. Dangatan would share the office within its function continuing even after Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release. That this office be used for Trojan Horse business, which will include: Video productions, Counseling, Interviewing, Administration Business, Meetings, Teaching, Etc. I would like to continue the developments, which we have already set in motion. I believe this will greatly increase the good work, which Rev. Luca Dangatan has been responsible for in teaching the gospel and Training Teachers. I would also like to add that I have offered my services to teach on a voluntary basis Theology and develop links at University level in the United Kingdom and abroad. Trust this meets with your approval and acceptance and we apologies for any undue harm. David Clarke Copy furnished to: Andy Dolin Lucas Dangatan Michael Clarke December 16th Spoke to Lucas and offered my services to teach Theology, on a modular basis, to his teachers to a level suitable for University Standards. I informed him that it would meet the approval of


144 APPENDICES 5 RICHARD GATWOOD AGED 40 the Strict Baptists, Evangelical and Presbyterians in the Western World. I felt that I could then seek support from churches who wished to help in the work in the Teacher Training College as our level of education would be on par with Western Educational Standards – it may even lead them and fit in without long term proposals for our teachers and trainer who wished to teach the gospel to all the world. Lucas agreed with this proposal stating that a positive response from Michael would be all that is needed.

Bagking, Hector R Maqueda, Jose C. Bangcado Elders. Effren C. Roxas, Arnel R. Espina, Domingo R Lucag, (NB. I refer the reader to Appendix 01 of the “Daily Diary October to March 2002/3 of Trojan Horse International (TULIP) Phils., Incorporated, regarding Richard Gatwood). The Response To These Allegations many be read in “The Daily Diary” of Trojan Horse International (TULIP) Phils., Incorporated for that date. Allegations made by these men were fabricated but mixed with some truth but none could not be substantiated by facts, as many points were just not true. In spite of my writing letters and reply’s to both petitions the scripture directive were just ignored. See my diary entries for that time. In January, I learned from an e-mail, sent by my pastor in England, that all Trojan Warrior had withdrawn their support from our Ministry. This was the first I learned of this. At the same time Gordon and Alastair announced their withdrawal


APPENDIX 6 SECOND PETITION AGAINST TROJAN HORSE

151

from Trojan Horse, giving no reason for their withdrawal. This information was not true. I learned, from the e-mails sent to me, that lies and evil reports had been sent back to England about our ministry via certain people. Also rumours about my failed marriage had spread through out the prison. Gordon an Alastair failed to inform me of these developments and my Church did ask me about any of the alleged difficulties that had happened during the mission. My Pastor instructed me that I must subject my self to the eldership of Lucas and the NBPCC elders during my stay in the Philippines. It was evident my pastor was completely ignorant of our work and ministry and had been feed by evil reports from various sources. These sources were Ispogani, Gordon and Alastair. All men whom I had had to speak to about their misconduct and wrong attitude on the mission. Lucas also was in communication with my wife and those in England. As a result I was informed my church that they had with drawn their support and refused to give me a letter of confirmation to say I had been a good Church member. This was necessary and required by the Christian Missionary Association who had offered to help secure my full time missionary stats visa in order for me to continue the work in the Philippines at minimum cost. I asked Lucas P. Dangatan to write and inform my Pastor the truth and reality of events as this was his responsibility as he was in constant communication with him and Gordon. (I learned this fro my pastor in England- I do not know what was said between Gordon, Alastair, and Gani. Pet Jacob and Lucas as I was not informed of asked to comment) The NBP Theological Institute was not a biblically constituted Church and not registered with SEC and so it was unreasonable and against the scripture for me to be subject to un authorised authority. The members of NBPCC were all convicted criminals and it was unlawful for them to register any association with


152 APPENDIX 6 SECOND PETITION AGAINST TROJAN HORSE SEC until a period of six years had elapsed after their release for prison. All of these men were still in prison except Lucas and Ispogani. I was an evangelist and an Ambassador for Christ under authority to him. Lucas and the mission team were under my authority during our combined mission and Teacher Training College development. Gordon and Alastair had no authority and were no longer in Church membership in any church as the Lion of the tribe of Judah had ceased to exist before we left to the Philippines. I had no recourse to speak to their co equal colleagues or elders in England. Ispogani had trouble with his Pastor r. Tuico with who I was in correspondence and left his ministry at SonLight Ministries to Join Lucas in the NBPCC elders, in December 2002, as his church and Pastor, were not happy with his conduct. Seeking Church Membership In my concern and care for the work entrusted to me, I spoke to Ronaldo Lopez on January 20th, your Pastor, and also on the 29th January, regarding your Church constitution and felt warmly inclined to seek membership with you. My church in England is not in the position to assist me. My brother Michael has also sought church membership with you, as we believe this is the correct order of things. We encourage all converted inmates and believers to join biblically constituted churches in situated in their own areas of domicile. Please beware that our ministry, whose name was reserved for SEC registration on February 11th 2003, is Trojan Horse International (TULIP) Inc., Phils. Is not a church and our article of beliefs are expressed in eh Articles of Incorporation papers. These are in fact similar to you own religious tenets of belief and may be seen as expressed in our book “Trojan Warriors”, page 339 and also in my book, “Converted on LSD Trip”, page 224. I believe Gordon and Alastair have been bewitched by Ispogani and false religion and thus spoken evil of the good

work of God. Gordon and Gani refuses to communicate with me despite several attempts by me to do so. Also Gordon Smith owes Michael some ÂŁ200 and has refused to pay him. This money Michael paid him to settle his hospital bill when he was confined to hospital, have been struck down with pneumonia during the last two weeks in the Philippines. I have had to repay Michael this money as Gordon, being misguided paid to Alastair maintaining it was the right thing to do.

Arnel and visiting Professors Dear Church I write to make a formal request for you to consider my becoming a member of you Church. Meeting Your Pastor I met your Pastor shortly after the on January 16th in Muntinlupa and I was very please to hear that your Church was situated so very close to my home in Muntinlupa. I shared with him my current situation and felt so welcomed. I was a delight to realise God had sent him to my aid. I explained to him my current situation working as a missionary in the Prisons of the Philippines and informed him of the recent revolt, which had taken place by many professing Christian Pastors within New Bilibid Prison. These men had risen up against me and the work I had be called and assigned


154 APPENDIX 7 APPLICATION FOR CHURCH MEMBERSHIP by God to do. Memorandum of Agreement I am thankful that Rev, Lucas P. Dangatan and I have drawn up a memorandum of agreement whereby we have agreed to work severalty in our own respective ministries within the Prison at New Bilibid Prison. No Support From My Church In England My Church in the United Kingdom, the Gospel Church, meeting at Paulsgrove Community association Centre, has recently refused to give me a letter stating that I had been a good long-standing member of the Church. Instead I was directed to submit myself to the authority of Pastor Lucas P. Dangatan and the Pastors of NBTCC, who are professing Christians (Inmates) within the Prison. This caused a real problem because these men were in no position to dictate such subordination and I now realised that some one somewhere had misinformed my church In England as to how things were and the order of responsibilities. I suspect Gordon, Alastair and Ispogani had a hand in this. Gani Behind It All I now believe that Gani was probably the one behind the whole mischief. As I write I recall I had asked him to translate my sermon whist speaking at Baguio City Jail, I felt a peculiar anointing that day and virtue went from me. I felt weakened and had to rest after the meeting. On the videotape, which we took of me speaking, we have the words recorded and translation given by Gani. During my speaking I informed the inmate that if they had believe the message I had spoken then I commanded them to be baptized and I would do it that day if we were able to do this. How ever Gani did not translate my message of command he change my message and said if they believed then they could be baptized in the Holy Spirit. In other words he chganged the words I had spoken to some other meaning all together. It was week latter we actually returned I baptized 22 Inmates.

Director of Trojan Horse International (TULIP) Phils., Incorporated I am the Director of an International Ministry called Trojan Horse International (TULIP) Phils. Incorporated who name was reserved on the 11th February 2003, with the Security Exchange Commission (S.E.C. Reg. Number CN200306347 : Date March 12th 2003) in order to fulfil our calling and gain support within the Philippine Republic Laws. Failure Of Our President Lucas P. Dangatan was our former President who had previously been responsible for this registration and had been commissioned to register the Ministry in the year 2001 and had promised to have it done by January 2002. This registration never was completed despite my providing over P50, 000.00 and many promises of Mr. Lucas P. Dangatan. Lucas had assured me the ministry would be registered with SEC by the end of January 2001. In so doing it would then be affiliated with BUCOR. This was never done. By such arrangements, which I had entrusted to Lucas to so arrange, I came with the Trojan Horse team to the Philippines. The ministry I conducted was in BUCOR terms that of an Extraordinary Religious Volunteer (ERV), which brought with it certain privileges and ministerial right other RVO do not have. I t was under this capacity I came to work in the prison believing Lucas P. Dangatan had made at the necessary application and obtain all passes and direct to him by me e-mails. Gordon Smith our ministry pastor should have worked with this knowledge but he did not bother to find out. I would appear that he was in the dark on my authority and was being guided by Isagani Obispo in the wrong direction. Gani had no authority to so miss direct. Gordon and Alastair then wrongly informed my church back in England, which caused them to withdraw support from me without consulting me at all. Se the diary entry for the November 6th to read about the position of Alastair Sutherland. Here it


156 APPENDIX 7 APPLICATION FOR CHURCH MEMBERSHIP demonstrated whom the Lord was directing. Denial by Elders of NBPCC Further to this our mission team ran into many problems with the NBPCC Elders resulting in a withdrawal and a denial of the existence of Trojan Horse International Ministries. This further resulted in a withdrawal of support of the many written testimonies that we had personally prepared and as published on our book “Trojan Warriors”. These testimonies, over 66 of them, were those of many of the Philippine’s most notorious criminals, being converted from crime to Christ and are now reformed men. This book took one year to produce and at great expense to us personally. It was published and printed in England on September 11th 2002. This date being chosen as our answer to the problem of World Terrorism. Please see our dedication to the Prime Minister of Israel, and our Queen Elizabeth II of England. Un Christian Practice by the Elders To my disappointment and dismay the conduct of these Elders was such they refused to work within the directions give in the bible for resolving dispute regarding doctrine and practice. Please see Memorandum of Agreement that was drawn up between Lucas P. Dangatan and myself to resolve future difficulties). One Isagani Obispo made evil reports to England, a man I have been advised to take to law and sue for oral slander and libel. He is a liar and sews discord ang has gone out of his way to discredit me whilst here in the Philippines. He now will not speak to me. NBPCC not a Church This group of men, the NBPCC Elders are not a Church and do not function as a Bible Church and they are not registered with SEC. Silly Men Unfortunate my Church in England, the Christian Gospel Church, have been misinformed about the situation by silly men who do not have the wisdom of God and cannot discern truth

from error. Like many men in New Bilibid Prison Satan, who has seduced these men and many Religious Volunteers (RVO) to believe that Christian righteousness consists in not doing certain things, has deceived them. They believe that are kept holy by not smoking, not drinking and obeying the traditions of their elders. They lie, cheat and do many things contrary to the gospel and miss the weightier matters of truth and righteousness. They have a form of righteousness but deny the power thereof. I ma judged by them because I mix with sinners and eat and drink and sing with Bakla’s in order to share Christ with them. That I have been seen in Bars (were bar girls are) at night and it has been maliciously spoken by Ispogani that I am always drunk in New Bilibid Prison and in Muntinlupa. Acting Contrary To Buco Rules These people act contrary to the rules of BUCA and cause division arguing about issues forbidden by The Bureau of Correction rules for RVO. It is my belief that because I have with stood them and their false view of Christian righteousness that I have been persecuted. I most cases it has been as the result of Women RVO’s who control the money which supports ministries within the prison. An account of my work and activities have been reported in “The Daily Diary” of Trojan Horse International which I have published whist here in the Philippines. Also acted contrary to the scripture in hearing issues of accusation against men without ever asking them personally first about such issue but going on hearsay and Gospel All of which practice is contrary to the gospel of Christ. Under Authority As the Director of Trojan Horse International (TULIP) Phils. Incorporated, I am considered to be The Religious Volunteer Officer (RVO) and also The Extraordinary Religious Volunteer (ERV). The general rules and regulations are dictated by the Chaplaincy at New Bilibid Prison who head is Msgr Helley Barrido and not Lucas P. Dangatan or elders of NBPCC. Such a

Misguided Group Of Men Our ministry within the Prison at New Bilibid is The Religious Volunteer Group (RVG) recognised and properly registered with the Securities Exchange Commission. It is registered and directed by the rule of the Religious Volunteer Program Manual issued by the Chaplaincy Service and not the NBPCC group of Elders who are a misguided group of men. I would be grateful if you would communicate with all the persons I have mentioned, as it is important all things are done decently and in order according to the scripture and not the rule of men or those who usurp authority. Application for Church Membership I recognise that it is the bible practice is for men called by Christ to function as the Church in their local community. To this end I write in order for you to consider my application for membership, as I to am a particular Baptist and evangelist.

I am a British subject and a Particular Baptist, being ordained as a minister, by the Strict and Particular Baptist Church (Gospel Standard listed) meeting in Bierton, Bedfordshire, England, 1983. I was an honorable member with this Church from 1976 until 1984,


APPENDICES 8 BRIEF HISTORY: TROJAN HORSE 159 when I seceded over matters of conscience. I have written a full account of my succession, notifying all concerned and entitled the communication “The Bierton Crisis 1983” now published in the Philippines February 11th 2003. My mission work to the Philippines commenced in August 2001 when Gordon Smith, Elder of the Lion of the tribe of Judah, Christian Church, Dorset and I went on a five-week, preaching tour of the Philippines. We shared the gospel in New Bilibid Prison, Angeles City Jail, Olongapo Distinct Jail, Quezon City, Tarlac, Cavity and other churches. At that time Rev. Joseph Kim was our host12 he being a Korean Missionary and the Director of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in the Philippines. Inc. At the time of invitation in June 2001 my church, the Christian Gospel Church, meeting at Portsmouth, England, supported our mission by a personal, monetary love gift, and prayer. Like wise did, The Lion of the Tribe of Judah Church, meeting near, Wimbourne Dorsett who supported Elder Mr. Gordon Smith. Background Events On February 11th 2001, I published my autobiography entitled,” Converted on LSD Trip”, as a result of my conviction to follow the command of Christ. This conviction was to go and tell of all that the Lord Jesus Christ had done for me. This I did as best I could after sharing my desire with the Pastor of my Church in 1999. At that time he was not sure how to react and so was very cautious. I was invited to become a member of the United Reformed “Jesus is Lord” church meeting in Warsash, Hampshire, England in the year 1999. I proceeded with the application for membership but after declined due the difficulties it was causing with my marriage. Mr. Peter Jacob was an Elder of the Warsash Church at that time and in December 1999 announced his resignation. This was in order to take on the eldership of the Christian Gospel Church meeting in the Hilton Hotel, Farlington, Portsmouth, 12 Letter of invitation from Rev Joseph Kim Appendix 01.


160 APPENDICES 8 BRIEF HISTORY: TROJAN HORSE and Hampshire. I January 2000, I was rebuked by the remaining elders of the Warsash “Jesus is Lord Church” because I informed them that they were acting contrary to the scriptures in seeking to appoint women elders. Mr. Martin Lloyd, an Elder and Secretary of the said church, was the principal opponent (there were in fact 6 remaining elders) to my objection to women being ordained as elders in a Christian Church. I was treated with contempt and dishonored so I asked for their support if I sought membership of another church. An account of this disagreement has been publish in the article13 “Does the Lord Jesus want women to rule as elders in His Church?” I was accepted as a member of the Christian Gospel Church, meeting at the Hilton Hotel Farlington, Portsmouth, in May 2000 and I support the biblical pattern of a gathered church. At the same time Brian Russ, the National Co-coordinator of Link4Life, as the Regional Director for South England, had appointed me. This organization was an evangelical organization, which assisted, convicted former criminals who had become Christians, to integrate with society upon their release from prison. Brian Russ is also the author and publisher of the book “No Mercy”. Mr. Russ resided at Reading Berkshire England at that time and worked extensively in the Prison Ministry, through out Great Britain. The publication of “Converted on LSD” coincided with the original publication date 30 year previously in the tabloid newspaper headlines, on February 11th 1971, The Bucks Herald News Paper, Aylesbury, and Buckinghamshire. This was entitled “Converted on LSD Trip”. This book informs of my call and conversion to Christ, on January 16th 1970.

This book also deals with my 14succession from Bierton church in 1984. I deal also with my falling from trust in God into open sin, for a period of three years, and subsequent divorce and remarriage. I speak also about my restoration, through faith and repentance towards God, by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and the subsequent desire to follow and obey the Lord Jesus in his commands. One of which was go and tell all men of all that the Lord had done for me15. In this book I also speak of my brother’s incrassation in the notorious South East Asian Prison New Bilibid Prison, Muntinlupa City, Philippines were he is sentence of 16 years for a crime he did not commit. I speak also of his subsequent conversion to Christ and baptism as a Christian on the 16th September 2000, in New Bilibid Prison, some thirty years after my call by grace. I note that he too, independently from myself, concluded that the doctrines of Gods Sovereign grace, as expressed in the (TULIP) acronym, was in fact a truth sadly neglected in East and Western Churches to date. We believe God has raised us up to declared these truths relating to the facts that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone and by Christ alone, as revealed in the Old and New Testaments scriptures.16 As a result of our very successful Mission to the Philippines in 2001 we established a working relationship with Rev. Lucas P. Dangatan, the senior Pastor of New Bilibid Prison Theological Institute, (NBTI) and many inmates who were connected with 14 “The Bierton Crisis 1983” published in the Philippines February 11th 2003. 15 See About the author, “Converted on LSD Trip”, page 3.

The Teacher Training College was a new concept and was a development of the Theological School already in operation run by Lucas P. Dangatan and it was now in


164 APPENDICES 8 BRIEF HISTORY: TROJAN HORSE the early stages of development. All parties were informed and supported the developments necessary to establish the College. It was proposed that the Director of Trojan Horse International be the Hon. Director of the Teacher Training College and Rev. P. Dangatan the President. Rev. Lucas P. Dangatan was also the President of Trojan Horse International C.M. The Directorate. I was the Hon. Director of Trojan Horse International C.M. and it’s Mission to the Philippines and Lucas P Dangatan was the chosen President, based upon his proven record of achievement. He was the founding Senior Pastor of NBPTI in 1992, with whom I had worked on the proposed and accepted project of the Teacher Training College, New Bilibid Prison Muntinlupa City, Philippines, since September 2001. Rev. Lucas P. Dangatan Jr. Was responsible to work along side Mr. Michael John Clarke, an inmate of New Bilibid Prison, and had been appointed for recruitment and working with all those men who were qualified to work in this newly founded College concept. On September 11th 2002 the book entitled “Trojan Warriors” was published in Jerusalem and sent to the printers in, via data transport link. It was Trojan Horse International C.M. Answer to the problems of terrorism. (See dedication on the inside cover). The book was printed and delivered according to the promise and distributed to all inmates who had submitted their testimonies. It contained 66 testimonies of converted notorious criminals from Christ to Crime and consisted of 365 pages. This book had taken a year to write and its pages went back and forth for correction, via e-mail, to Lucas over a period of several months. A draft copy was sent also to the Hon. Secretary of Justice Perez, for and comments, before being put to print. This publication was also distributed to selected VIP’s throughout the Philippines and each inmate who had written their testimony was issued their own personal copy on the 15th October 2002 at the opening meeting at New Bilibid Prison. Michael J. Clarke, my brother and inmate of New Bilibid


APPENDICES 8 BRIEF HISTORY: TROJAN HORSE 165 Prison, took on the role as Executive Director and work along side Rev. Lucas P. Dangatan, within the prison, in order to ensure that Mission to the Philippines and preaching tour of the jails was successful. The mission was directed from within New Bilibid Prison. The mission was complete and successful but not without is problems. Money sent (Php. 1.275,000.00 by telegraphic transfer from Trojan Horse Bank account had not reached Lucasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank account so Michael J. Clarke made available Php. 170,000.00 for the 7 day tour and all mission expenses. One member of the mission, Isagani Obispo, took exception to the Director drinking wine and mixing with sinners (Buklas who were lady boys) in New Bilibid Prison. He decided to sabotage the mission by sending text messages to officials at the Chaplaincy of New Bilibid Prison. This being unsuccessful he sought to spread malicious rumors about the Director in order to discredit him and expressed hope that he would be deported. His actions were discovered and he was challenged but he refused to put matters right and denied what he had done. After repeated attempts to resolve the issue with him a case of libel and oral slander was lodged with the City Fiscal at Muntinlupa City in order to stop this mans evil actions. A way out was offered to him but he refused to retract his lies. On the day that Isagani Obispo Jr. had to appear before the City Prosecutor to answer these charges his father died. The success and the problems are fully recorded and outlined in the Daily Diary18, which initially published in the Philippines on 24th March 2003. The preaching tour visited Angeles City, Olongapo Cities, Baguio City Jail and Benguet Provincial Jails. See Daily Diary entries for that week. We were delighted to baptize over 22 inmates of Baguio City Jail in October and 8 inmates in Benguet Provincial Jail, as a result of our preaching 18 Daily Diary Mission to the Philippines October to March 2002/3 Notarised March 24th by the City Fiscal in Muntinlupa City and submitted as evidence.

Clarke to fund the mission. In November 6th a complaint statement19, containing allegations against the Directors of Trojan Horse International Christian Ministries was submitted to Lucas P. Dangatan the Senior Pastor of NBPTI by elders of NBPCC. In November David Clarke the Director of Trojan Horse International CM was appointed Chaplain to the Philippine Prison Mission, by Rev. Monaco L. Caranay, and authorized to teach the moral recovery program for the Values Formation Foundation Incorporated, amongst the Philippines National Police Inmates Association. Upon hearing this Isagani Obispo Jr. informed David that his appointment was fake. It was later discovered that he was not telling the truth and David had cause to write to Rev. Lucas Dangatan about the situation as he was spreading rumors about other people. On December 12th we obtained a new Apartment at Putatan and Lucas and his son came to live with the Director Michael wife to be. It was realized by the Director that Lucas Dangatan had not registered Trojan Horse International CM with SEC so Lucas agreed to do it immediately. When assisting Lucas with the registration process the Director realized none of the Directors names had been included as members of the Board of Trustees and many of the Primary and Secondary objectives had been omitted from the Articles of Incorporation. The application was then withdrawn and Isagani Obipso Jr. was asked to re apply as he had been appointed recently to the position of Head of School Para legal matters for Trojan Horse. 19 See Appendix 03 of this document entitled Compliant by NBPCC.


APPENDICES 8 BRIEF HISTORY: TROJAN HORSE 167 He again removed the names of the Director for the Board of trustees without giving any reason except to ask Lucas P. Dangatan. The Director then postponed the registration process until a latter date. In the last week of December Lucas Dangatan was asked to return the balance of the money of Trojan Horse International to the Director. He returned Php. 1.100,000.00 to the Directors Account. On December 30th 2002, the group called NBPCC, all convicted criminals and men who had submitted their testimonies, to Trojan Horse International, for publication and whose testimonies had been published in, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trojan Warriorsâ&#x20AC;?, rose up in revolt against the ministry of Trojan Horse International Christian Ministries. They denied the existence of the Teachers Training College and dishonored their Senior Pastor Rev. Lucas P. Dangatan Jr. They disassociated them selves from Trojan Horse International Christian Ministries. Early in January a division arose amongst members of the SonLight Ministries and Oliver Tuico expelled several men including Isagani Obispo for gross misconduct. This was the reason why Imagine was so keen to join Lucas Dangatan and his group otherwise he would have been excluded for being an RVO at NBP if he was not connected to any group within the prison. On the 16th January Lucas move form our apartment as he mentioned on a number of occasions that he felt embarrassed about staying with me after what had happened to Trojan Horse. I reassured him he was welcomed to stay as long as he needed. On January 25th 2003 a Memorandum of Agreement20 (M.O.A.) was drawn up by an independent pastor, and was subscribed to by David Clarke and Lucas P. Dangatan, in order to foster good will and to ensure a working agreement between the separated groups of NBPCC and Trojan Horse International CM, within New Bilibid Prison. 20 See Appendix 04 of this text


168

APPENDICES 8 BRIEF HISTORY: TROJAN HORSE It was noted that it was the NBPCC Elders who had signed the petition and not Lucas P. Dangatan. These men had disassociated themselves self from Trojan Horse International (TULIP) Phil., Incorporated. This withdrawal was over matters of doctrine, practice and conduct. It was later revealed that Lucas P Dangtan had ordered the petition against Trojan Horse International and its Directors. These issues are fully recorded within the Daily Diary events for that period and could be summed up in this: Our growth in grace is either by: The works of the law (rules regulations and traditions of men- touch not taste handle not and so on) i.e. works of the flesh. Or by: By grace alone, though faith alone, in love to Christ and our fellow man. Is according to the terms set out in the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Is spiritual without the deeds or works of the law. Trojan Horse International (TULIP) Phils. Incorporated has contend for the latter, without withdrawing from any one. We also maintains it was the Devil who came in to destroy the peace amongst Christian in New Bilibid Prison to undo the good work which has been accomplished by all who walked by faith in order to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. See the Daily Diary of event for that period, which have been recorded and published for this very reason. On March 17th 2003 Trojan Horse International (TULIP) Phils. Incorporation was legally registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and recognized by the Law of the Philippines Republic. The name had been secured for us on February 11th 2003, which by chance was noted to be the anniversary date of the publication â&#x20AC;&#x153;Converted on LSD Tripâ&#x20AC;? two years (2) previously and thirty two (32) years since the original New Paper Head lines in Aylesbury Buckinghamshire, England.

Obispo Jr., employee of the Department of Justice, a member of NBPCC and RVO, at New Bilibid Prison, on grounds of Libel and Oral slander. It is believed that Isagani betrayed the good will and name of the Directors of Trojan Horse International Christian Ministries, not only to the peoples of the Philippines but also churches and peoples in England seeking to discredit the organization between the period of December 16h 2002 to date March 24th 2003.

This matter only relates to men and women in a Christian church. It is about the rules of the house of God, which is the church of the living God and rules for those who are members of the body of Christ and members of an heavenly county. The Suffragettes Emmeline Pankhurst 1858 -1928) was a Suffragette and worked very hard to bring equal rights for women to vote as men. In the year of her death all women over 21 gained the right to vote. The Suffragette movement brought about many changes for the better in a secular society but not so for women seeking to follow Christian principles. One of her famous quotes was, “Trust in God She shall provide”. Terms which do not reflect Christian beliefs. We know God will provide and He is not a she. In the USA and the UK, women’s political rights were brought into general political consciousness by the suffragettes and since then there have been legal rights granted to the Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender groups, same sex marriages, along with the development of the feminist movement and the appointment of persons from the LBGT community to responsible positions in the Church of England. All of this has caused conflict in the Christian community due to differences beliefs of right and wrong. This book seeks to show what the bible has to say about the role of women in the church and family. Since these rules are taught by the Apostles of Christ they are the word of God to us and we should obey. The secular world may differ and turn from the narrow path taught in scripture but we should follow the word of God, this is our wisdom.

There they became young criminals and were sent to prison for malicious wounding and carrying a fire arm without a licence. Michael went to Maidstone prison, for 2 years, and David to Dover Borstal. On leaving Dover Borstal, in 1968 David had a 3-year career of undetected crime until he experienced a dramatic conversion and became a Christian. He turned his back on his criminal past and sought to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. He learned to read, to educate himself as he was virtually illiterate, by reading the bible and classic Christian literature. Michael was unaffected by his change and continued his flamboyant lifestyle. David went on to Higher Education, became a Particular minister sent to preach by Bierton Particular Baptists, and taught electronics for over 20 years, in colleges of Further and Higher Education. Michael formed a travel business, taking advantage the existing night life and lifestyle of sin Cities in Angeles and Olongapo Cities, in the Philippines but was entrapped and sentenced to 16 years in New Bilibid, Maximum Security Prison, in the Philippines. Five years into his prison sentence Michael too was converted from crime to Christ and it was through reading C.S. Lewis book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mere Christianityâ&#x20AC;?, that he was convinced that Jesus was the Christ, the son of the living God. New Bilibid Prison is the largest prison in the Far East and houses over 35,000 inmates, in three compounds, the Maximum, Medium and Minimum Compounds and Penal Farms. Michael was sent to the Maximum Security Compound, housing 13,000 inmates, inside which is Death Row, where there were some 1200 prisoners, scheduled be executed by lethal injection. On Michaels conversion, they worked with other prison inmates and visiting religious volunteers to promote the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ within and without the prison.

That is he did not say how this was to be done. David, the author of this diary, puts forward the reason why no specific terms were give as to how to go about the tasks and with good reason. This was because had He given a detailed and specified schedule it would have proved too daunting to his disciples, due to the frightful dangers and opposition that they would meet. So instead He left the methods and practices open to the imagination of men who had been renewed in their minds by the Spirit of God, and with the directions written in scripture. By this means God would be glorified and often the carnal religious mind would be infuriated. It is only when one seeks to obey the command that it is realised that wisdom, determination, courage, skill, diplomacy, in fact every skill that man has devised in terms of dealing with money, travel, visa permits, medical practices, local laws, legal practices and customs are required and in general with fallen man.

For as we read in the Acts There rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees, which believed, saying, that it was needful to circumcise the people, and to command


FURTHER PUBLICATIONS 187 them to keep the law of Moses; whereof the Sabbath was apart: Which in the general, as the apostles labours to suppress in their first General Council, held in Jerusalem: So did S. Paul, upon occasion of whose ministry this controversy first began, endeavor what he could against the particular, shapely reproving those which hallowed yet the Jewish Sabbath and observed days, and months, and times, as if he had bestowed his labor in vain upon them. But more particularly in his epistle to the Colossians, Let no man judge you in respect of a holy day or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days, which were a shadow of things to come but the body is of Christ. Both which expressions of Paul are in this following discourse produced to this very purpose. Yet notwithstanding all this care both generally of the Apostles and more especially of Paul to suppress this error; it grew up still and had its patrons and abettors. This reproduction of, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The doctrine of the Sabbathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, by Dr. John Prideaux has been presented for those who have been troubled by the insistence of those religious people who insist that the first day of the week is the Sabbath day and to be kept holy, as dictated by the law of Moses. It is not. We include also Dr. John Gill on the subject of the circumstances of public worship as to place and time. It is the view of this publisher that the time and place of Christian worship it is a matter for the Christian community to decide and is not legislated in the scriptures.
