Controversies
Questionable Prophecies Villanueva claims to be a prophet of God and has issued specific prophecies that he claims were prophetic visions from God. His prophecies mainly deal with God's grand plan for the Filipino nation. One of his failed prophecies was his declaration that the Philippines will become "the America of Asia in 2000."
In 1998, The Philippine for Jesus Movement (PJM), an umbrella organization of more than 10,000 Protestant churches or about 3 million members of which Villanueva is the Chairman of the board had declared Jose de Venecia as the "God-mandated next president of the Philippines." They said that de Venecia "was ordained by the Divine providence to fulfill his vision for the Philippines as a great nation of God." Jose de Venecia, Jr. ...
"The glorious prophetic vision of God for the Philippines is for it to become prosperous and we cannot turn traitor to God’s calling and mandate," said Villanueva.[4]The prophecy went unfulfilled when de Venecia lost to former President Joseph Estrada. Joseph Ejercito Estrada (born José Marcelo Ejército on April 19, 1937) widely known as Erap is a popular film actor in the Philippines and was the 13th President of the Philippines from June 30, 1998 to January 20, 2001. ...
Estafa Case In October 2005, an arrest warrant had been issued against Villanueva on charges of estafa(swindling) filed by businessman Benito Araneta in April 2005. The case dates back to March 2001 when Villanueva and his Zoe Broadcasting Network Inc. entered into an agreement with Araneta’s Entertainment Network Ltd (EnterNet) for the operation of Channel 11. Under the agreement, Zoe Broadcasting was to turn over to EnterNet the management, programming and marketing of the TV station. ZOE Broadcasting Network, Inc. ...

In accordance with the agreement, Araneta paid Villanueva P15 million in two checks dated March 29 and August 2001. To his dismay, Araneta, after making the payments, found out that Villanueva had already entered into a previous commitment to sell or lease air time of Channel 11 to Vintage TV Corp. owned by Carlos “Bobong” Velez for the period covering 2000 to 2015. The flabbergasted businessman also found out that for that arrangement, Velez had already paid Bro. Eddie some P20 million.
To Araneta, it was obvious that he had been duped into a contract that had already been committed to another party. On this basis, he sued Villanueva for estafa(swindling), demanding the return of the P15 million he had advanced.[5]
When the arrest had been made public after Villanueva's refusal to pay the P40,000 bail set by the court, he cried political harassment claiming that the case filed against him by Araneta who is the first cousin of President Arroyo's husband, is a reprisal for joining the opposition-led call for Arroyo’s resignation over accusations of cheating in the 2004 presidential election. Arroyo and her husband denied any involvement in the case and Araneta had denied that the charge was politically-motivated. [6] Presidential elections, legislative elections and local elections were held in the Philippines on May 10, 2004. ...
The Justice Department withdrew the arrest order after granting Villanueva’s request for a review of the case.
Son's Murder Case In May 2007, Villanueva's son, Eduardo 'Jonjon ' Villanueva Jr., who was running for mayor in Bocaue, Bulacan, was charged with murder and obstruction of justice by the Department of Justice after a soldier was killed in a shootout involving the supporters of Villanueva and a group of soldiers.[1]
2004 Presidential Bid Villanueva's campaign in the 2004 Philippine presidential election never went unnoticed because he was the only candidate with a very strong religious identity as he is, as noted above, the founder and senior bishop of the Jesus Is Lord International, an independent pentecostal group that has branches in Asia, Europe, and America. He campaigns on the claim that he is the only moral candidate for president, and that he has a program to eradicate corruption and restore morality in government. His campaigns carried both religious and political colors with the "V" finger sign representing Dios at Bayan (God and Nation).
He was the only presidential candidate who was claimed to have gathered an audience of millions in one place, making his campaign subject to arguments as to just what was the exact number of person who attended. In his Quirino grandstand campaign, his supporters claimed that they reached 3 million, but the conservative estimates of the police and security forces was only 600 thousand. This was followed by another major political rally at Ayala Avenue in Makati City where his supporters claimed the crowd reached 100,000 but the policemen estimated it to be only 10,000. His last grand campaign was done four days before the election at the Luneta Park and they claimed they reached five million in the crowd, but the national television news programs covered the event saying the crowd reached million (without giving the exact unit).
Despite the polls done by Social Weather Stations and Pulse Asia showing him trailing among the four contenders[7], Villanueva was confident that he would win the elections saying that "this is why we do not believe in the surveys of the two companies that are usually commissioned by political parties here — because the more than three million human bodies (at my rally) can indicate the real results of the survey."[8] Social Weather Stations or SWS is a social research institution in the Philippines. ...

He has also spoken out against bloc voting by religious groups in response to the reported endorsements by the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) and the Catholic charismatic El Shaddai movement of President Arroyo. The Iglesia ni Cristo (IPA: ) (also known as INC or Iglesya ni Kristo ; literally Tagalog for Church of Christ) is an independent, nontrinitarian[1] Christian church that originated in the Philippines[2] The INC was incorporated in the Philippines by Felix Y. Manalo on July 27, 1914;[3] The church...

He was the only presidential candidate who did not spend much during his campaigns as most, if not all of the campaign materials, including television advertisements were donated by his followers. His campaigns called for an alternative leadership, which he called righteous leadership based on a certain Biblical passage that says, "Righteousness exalts a nation."
Because of his religious identity he was accused of running for the presidency because of his religious interest and detractors stated that if elected his main goal would be converting the nation to Pentecostalism, a charge unlikely to be ignored in the Philippines, the third-largest Roman Catholic country in the world. Stories of campaign sermons being made against Villanueva by prominent leaders of major religious groups like the Iglesia Ni Cristo, El Shaddai, and even the Roman Catholic Church were also spread at that time, although proof of the existence of such sermons occurring to any wide extent was never offered.
Villanueva's campaigns were marked with persuasion, praying, spontaneity of words, crowd singing (a carry over of the pentecostals' Praise & Worship practice) and celebrity supporters. Among them were Connie Reyes, Karla Martinez, Piolo Pascual, Garry Valenciano, Donita Rose, Yoyoy Villame, Nonoy Zunega, Jeremias Jangad, Christian Bautista, and many others.
These elements made his campaign distinct from the others, but certainly did not translate into much success at the ballot box.
When he lost the election, a lot of his followers were disappointed with him because it took him so long to concede victory to the elected incumbent President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, despite his having run so far behind. So many followers expected that his reaction would be totally different from the other politicians but to many he was seen to be singing the same melody with them.
A former supporter of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, he has turned into one of her most rabid critics after the election. Until now, he remains to be one of the visible figures of the opposition side, who calls for the resignation of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for alleged election fraud and corruption. He, along with his son Joel, a party list representative, are dubbed by some detractors as "selfish" and "sore losers", who use their followers for selfish interests. His solid supporters of course deny such accusation.
Quotes “If they kill this — the fight of principled lawmakers — today or tomorrow, in front of God and history, it's justified for the Filipino people. ... They could not be stopped from going to the court of the streets.”.[9]
