SC upholds suspension of ‘Ang Dating Daan’

MANILA, Philippines—The Supreme Court upheld a three-month suspension imposed on the religious television program, “Ang Dating Daan,” back in 2004 for the use of offensive and obscene language by its evangelist-host Eliseo “Brother Eli” Soriano.
In a full court decision issued on March 15, the high tribunal ruled with finality against Soriano's motion for reconsideration, affirming its original ruling last April 29, 2009 in favor of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB)'s disciplinary action against Ang Dating Daan.
Voting 11-4, the Supreme Court rejected Soriano's argument that the suspension imposed by the MTRCB constituted “prior restraint” on the media and that his language during the show's August 10, 2004 broadcast was not obscene and offensive.
The high court reminded Soriano that “the medium he used to make his statements was a television broadcast which is accessible to children of virtually all ages.”
“As already laid down in the decision subject of this recourse, the interest of the government in protecting children who may be subjected to petitioner’s invectives must have precedence over his desire to air publicly his dirty laundry,” the court went on, pointing out that Soriano's use of vulgar language was not appropriate for a program with a “G” or for general audience rating.
The high court also rejected Soriano's claim that the court should stay out of cases of conflict between religious groups.
It said even religious programs were covered by the MTRCB's regulatory power.
The Supreme Court said the exercise of religious freedom could be regulated by the state “when it will bring about the clear and present danger of some substantive evil which the state is duty bound to prevent.”
The MTRCB took action against Ang Dating Daan based on a complaint filed by the religious group Iglesia ni Cristo led by Michael Sandoval, INC minister and host of television program, “Ang Tamang Daan.”
Sandoval complained that Soriano slandered him in Ang Dating Daan by calling him names.
Soriano countered that the INC implied in their show that he was asking for an extravagantly huge amount of contributions.
Those who concurred with the decision penned by Associate Justice Presbitero Velasco Jr. were Associate Justices Renato Corona, Antonio Nachura, Teresita Leonardo-De Castro, Arturo Brion, Diosdado Peralta, Lucas Bersamin, Mariano Del Castillo, Martin Villarama Jr., Jose Perez and Jose Mendoza.
Chief Justice Reynato Puno and Associate Justices Antonio Carpio, Conchita Carpio-Morales and Roberto Abad dissented.
In his separate opinion, Carpio insisted that the show's suspension “indiscriminately infringes upon free speech.” Citing a landmark case in the United States, he said while Soriano’s utterances might be indecent he still enjoyed the constitutional protection for free speech.

Its always been the same old story.
ReplyDeleteBad people always try to bring a good man down. But rest assure, in God's sight, you cannot bring a good man down. No matter how hard you try.
God bless you bro. eli.
Many souls will be saved because of you. and for that reason we give praise and thanks to God.
Mama Eli has been caught in the act of his evil ways. He is like fish caught in his own mouth. For that reason it is the height of hypocrisy and illogicity to put malice on the decision of the Supreme Court.
ReplyDeleteThe evidence is solid against Mama Eli. The Supreme Court simply decided on the case based on merit while the media simply reported the promulgated decision of the Supreme Court. There is no need to put Mama Eli down. He himself is drowning in his own evil ways. The wages of sin is death. That is why he is hiding in shame.
Its always been the same old story.
ReplyDeleteResponse: Really, has it?
Bad people always try to bring a good man down.
Response: The good will rise even if you fell them a thousand times, while Mama Eli is still in hiding.
But rest assure, in God's sight, you cannot bring a good man down.
Response: Neither can you hide an evildoer forever.
No matter how hard you try.
Response: Then present your leader to the public!
God bless you bro. eli.
Response: Will God bless someone who molests MEN in His name? Nyet, Non, Nein, Iie, Hindi, Laa, NO!
Many souls will be saved because of you.
Response: No, many souls will be DAMNED because of Ma Eli.
and for that reason we give praise and thanks to God.
Response: You give praise and thanks to God while cursing those who are not of your ilk? What double talk is that?
Hello,Father Abe, I have a question. What is the distinction between ADD's worship facing the sun and our ad orientem tradition?
ReplyDeleteDear Tito,
ReplyDeleteMalayo. He, he, he... Ang ADD "Tuwad sa Harap ng Silangan" is different from our AD ORIENTED worship.
First, The Ad Oriented is focused on Christ as the Light of our Life. Because for us Jesus is our God and He is our Light. When we pray to the East it symbolizes Christ as THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. The problem with ADD is that Christ is NOT their GOD! He is not the focus of their worship.
Second, Our AD ORIENTEM is not literally facing the East. It means facing the Altar of Christ. Thus, we face the ALTAR, THE TABERNACLE, THE SANCTUARY OF GOD IN OUR TEMPLES OF WORSHIPS. Wether it faces the North or the South or the West it is still AD ORIENTEM because Christ is the "Easter" of our Life. He is the Sun of Righteousness for us.
Third, The ADDs are doing the 'TUWAD' manner of worship. Their heads are on ground while their butts or asses are on top. So they are practically showing God their ASSES. Very immoral and disrespectful. Ours is kneeling.

ReplyDeletecatholic=church of pedophiles
enough said
All institutions in the world has sex scandal. The scandals in the Catholic Church is well publicised because we are the most popular and biggest religious group in the world. But the phidophiles and sex abusers among Born Againa and Protestants are even more numerous than those of the Catholics.
ReplyDeleteWith ADD, their number is too insignificant in the world that is why their scandals are not to be read in International Media. But in comparison between RCC and ADD the ADD is MUCH, MUCH MORE EVIL because their number one SEXUAL ABUSER AND PREDATOR IS NO OTHER THAN MAMA ELI THE HOMOSEXUAL RAPIST AND SODOMITE.
None of our Popes have committed such. Nothing more to be said.
Thank you, Father Abe, for the explanation.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Bro. Tito. A little correction though: It is AD ORIENTEM not AD ORIENTED. He, he, he...
ReplyDeletemany victims are coming forward and more evil exposed in the catholic house of pedophiles
ReplyDeleteFresh abuse claims in Pope's former Munich diocese
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8577252.stm
Of course, our cases are known because we let our abusers face their case on the court. He, he, he... On your part, Mama Eli the Homosexual Rapist and Sodomite is hiding from the court of law. Your church head is also your CHIEF PREDATOR. Unfortunately you are united in hiding him from justice simply to appear holy and pure. But no amount of hiding can cover for your crimes.
ReplyDeleteYou can point our weaknesses but all the good things that the ADD are doing in this world is but a piece of garbage in comparison with all the good things that the Catholics are doing.
again i repeat: many victims are coming forward and more evil exposed in the catholic house of pedophiles
ReplyDeletehere's for your twisted logic: if these victims don't come forward DIRECTLY TO THE MEDIA, the house of pedophilia will not be exposed or worse the bishops will sweep it under the rug like what they did in ireland and elsewhere
I think you are going out of your mind. The Catholic Church is a religious organization. It is operating as such. It does not have police power and cannot be expected as such. What is shown is that the culprits was tried according to the rules and regulations of the Catholic Church. Those whose crimes were discovered were removed from priestly office and were expelled from ministry.
ReplyDeleteOf course, most of the cases were known first by the state prosecutors before even our Church officials got to know the violations. The Church punished them within the power she has and we let the state prosecutors to prosecute them from the side of the government.
Some cases have been known by the media. It's understandable because the media is more interested of the Catholic Church than the ADD which is a piece of garbage in comparison to a real International Church like the one with have. Not your group composed mostly of some insane from Apalit and other areas of the Philippines.
The fact that their cases are in court and are in the open shows that we are not hiding our own. BUT YOUR DEMONIC MAMA ELI THE SODOMITE IS HIDING LIKE A COWARDLY PREDATOR AFTER HAVING DONE IS HOMOSEXUAL CRIME. AND YOU ARE ALL HIDING HIM FROM THE POWER OF JUSTICE.
That is the difference between us. Speaking of hypocrisy. He, he, he... Your name should be: Church Uninternational of a Hiding Homosexual Preacher!!!
Poor Priest of the Church of Babylon, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS. You're so unpopular and yet you have the "kapal muks" to slander other people with crimes your own church is guilty of.
ReplyDeleteNO WONDER, SOMEONE WHO IS THIRSTY OF POPULARITY WILL JUST RIDE WITH THE POPULARITY OF OTHERS.
YOUR CHURCH IS FULL OF GARBAGE! GARBAGE!
YOU ARE THE EPITOME OF A ROTTEN DOCTRINE OF A SODOMITE CHURCH FULL OF SODOMITE PRIESTS!
Ha, ha, ha... LAPDOG OF THE HARLOT OF APALIT. HA, HA, HA... WHAT GOOD HAS YOUR ADD HAS DONE TO THIS WORLD.
ReplyDeleteTHE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS THOUSANDS OF COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES AND HOSPITALS, ORPHANAGES, LEPROSARIUM AND HOUSES OF CHARITIES ALL OVER THE WORLD. WHAT DO YOU HAVE? NOTHING.
CHILDREN OF MAMA ELI THE HOMOSEXUAL WHORE. BETWEEN YOUR GROUP AND OUR CHURCH WE ARE MUCH MUCH MORE RESPECTABLE THAN YOU. YOU ARE A PIECE OF MUD IN THIS WORLD. DOWN WITH MAMA ELI THE HOMOSEXUAL RAPIST.
pero kapag ang ADD ang nagsampa ng kaso sa INC, dismissed agad! wew! d ba kayo nagtataka? malakas tlaga kapit ng INC sa gobyerno dhl sa isang boto nila na wala naman sa Biblia!
ReplyDeleteIbig sabihin mahina ang mga kasong sinampa nyo. He, he, he... walang sapat na evidencia para iakyat sa korte. He, he, he... Epekto lamang yan ng katotohanang Bopol ang Mama Eli nyo.
ReplyDeleteGanyan talaga ang mga anak ni Satanas, Fr. Abe. Soon, we who are the spawn of the Woman will crush them like the spawn of the Serpent that they are.
ReplyDeleteGloria in Excelsis Deo!
OO nga Bro. Aegis-Judex. Kung magmalinis kala mo kung sino sila. Habang tumatagal unti-unti ring nabubunyag ang mga kasamaan at imoralidad sa grupo nila.
ReplyDeleteFr. Abe
ReplyDeleteAng masasabi ko lang po, wag nyo na silang pansinin kasi bulag at bingi talaga ang mga kapatid natin yan sa 'katotohanan' sila ang halimbawa ng mga 'bulag na 'PANATIKO', alam kong sumasagot ka lang FR.Abe base sa sinabi nila but please dont go down na po to their levels.
To kapatid 'ben ave' bago mo ipagtangol yang si mama Eli nyo pagaralan mo muna ang kilos at pagiisip nya , at MAGISIP at Taimtim na magdasal, kasi talaga naman mapapansin mo na sa pagsasalita nya pa lang naman at sa pagiisip ay malayo na siya sa 'Tamang Daan'nababagay pa nga siya sa titulong 'Naliligaw na Daan'.
Ang pagkakamali at kahinaan natural lang yan sa pagiging tao, ang mahalaga ay di ' sila kinukunsinti at bagkus pinaaalis sa pwesto' pero ang bagay na ito ay di madalian dahil dapat dumadaan ito sa tamang proceso, at pag napatunayan na, at saka sila hahatulan. Ganyan ang ginagawa sa mga religious leaders naming ' natutukso pero ang pinakamahalaga dun 'di sila nagkakamali sa kung ano ang 'Doctrina ng aming simbahan'. at ang katotohanang ito ay may proof at well documented. At sino nga ba ang 'tutuksuhin' ng demonyo, siyempre ang mga nagsusumikap magpakabanal at hindi ang kapwa nila demonyo.
At napatunayan na yan sa
dami ng aming mga SANTO; they became Saints ispite of their weaknesses and trials, they overcome these by walking through the right path with the help of our Mother Church: THE HOLY ROMAN CATHOLIC & APOSTOLIC CHUCH & by the grace of GOD.
With you in CHRIST,
Ate Mary
They cannot help but to ride to the issue if it's against Bro. Eli.
ReplyDeleteINDEED, WE CAN'T HELP IT. NICE ISN'T IT? WE LEARNED THAT FROM MAMA ELI HERSELF. HE WAS RIDING ON OUR CHURCH TOO. NOW WE RETURN THE COMPLEMENT.
ReplyDeleteto bro abe maraming salamat for depending the our church the catholic church. ako talaga ang biktima ng bro eli na yan. am happy at upheld ng supreme court ang mga bastos na pananalita ng bro. eli na yan. kung tutuosin bakit siya nagtatago abroad at pinahihirapan niya ang kanyang mga miyembro para lang magkaroon ng oras ng viewing para sa teachings niya na baluktot. ang aking only son nabiktima niya he was so religious because our family is sarado catholic pero ng maconvince ng asawa at yun kapanalig ni bro. eli naging pabaya na siya sa akin hindi ko na siya nakakasama at pati ang aking apo hindi ko rin madalas makasama. marami bawal pati ang pagputol ng buhok bawal pati ang pagkain mayron din bawal di puwede kumain ng may halal. parang may cancer sa pamilya namin kasi di na kami nagkikita ng aking anak dahil sa masamang turo ng bro. eli na yan. wish ko lang one day mawala na sila sa lahat ng social networks para di na siya makasira ng pamilya.
