informed him they did not want to be associated with me. I was surprised at this as the lady spokesman was the one we had asked if she could distribute our book “Trojan Warriors” to all our Warrior’s at the Maximum Security Prison during the main event. This group now did not wish to associate with me and decided not to allow me to go with them to give the bibles to inmates. I was informed they were having a go at Gani for working with us. The reason apparently was that 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’s free man and works where ever the Lord directed him (a good answer I thought) and so I soon realized how that Satan seeks to work in men to stop the good work of God being done. Gani suggested the problem was jealousy. They said they were suspicious of our motives for making the video and were critical of our book Trojan Warriors. 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 and his wife and I was looking forward to see him on his return from the United States. A Big Problem Gani later shared with me in words which he describes as “a big problem”, he said “we have a big problem”. He had received a text message from Dr. William O. Poloc who had been texted by an inmate at New Bilibid Prison reporting that Michael and I had gone to building 13 one evening recently and were drinking Tuba. That we were drunk and singing songs with two Bakla’s (lady boys) late at night. That our conduct was known and our conduct was known to all the guards and all the inmates and was wrong. I was told that the reason why members of Sunlight Ministries did not want me to video them giving away bibles was because I drank wine. They also were suspicious of us thinking we might put the video to misuse. My answer to Gani was, “ I had no problem with drinking wine”. I accepted he and others might have. That I am not a drunkard and no one has ever seen me drunk. I confirmed that I 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. That my conversion was from sin, death and hell, in fact from crime to Christ.
