The Misadventures of CAPTAIN WET (Kapitan BASA) Part I

-By Toto Onato

Captain Wet is the English version of Kapitan Basa, a symbol of a modern day false prophet who

considers religion a lucrative preoccupation. Better known as Satantiago, Kapitan Basa or Captain Wet is

wet brain inflicted persona (for having confabulation or telling imagined & untrue experiences as

gospel truth).

Captain Wet together with his brother Bernardo (who, many years earlier was excommunicated for

fleeing away with the wife of his supposed brother in Christ) was able to infiltrate the Members Church

of God International (MCGI) sometime in 1991. He was subsequently able to gain the generous support

of MCGI leaders to the point of abusing their kindness and compassion by employing the strategy of his

feigned church loyalty and commitment. As a matter of fact, Captain Wet was even able to bail his

mother out from strings of estafa cases (committed by her even prior to MCGI membership infiltration)

involving more than two (2) million pesos by settling them with the personal fund of MCGI Presiding

Minister, Bro. Eli Soriano.

Just like Jesus disciple Judas Iscariot, Captain Wet as a church worker once, was given opportunity for

sensitive position in church (as Bro. Elis co-host in radio/TV religious program Ang Dating Daan for

several years) only to emerge or disclose himself as traitor and betray his master later on. Furthermore,

just like the privileged angel Lucifer, the original rebel who became known as Satan, Captain Wet

rebelled against church authority due to same reasons: obsession for power and personal glory.

Captain Wets rebellious attitude began to manifest following Bro. Elis departure for abroad in

December 2005. The inconvenience brought about by unexpected parting with Bro. Eli (who happened

to be too accommodating when it comes to his personal fund necessities) apparently pissed him off.With Bro. Eli not around, he had to deal with the Vice Presiding Minister, Bro. Daniel Razon and the

latter, against whom he harbored unnecessary professional jealousy, was for him, not the best person to

deal with. He even made unfounded accusation against Bro. Daniel of alleged gallivanting in cases when

the latter needs to travel abroad to support Bro. Elis foreign mission.

As he engaged himself into discreet agitation of members, raising issues of imagined grievances, his

dissatisfaction went into full blown treachery when he began subverting not only the leadership but the

very doctrines of the Church itself. His misguided spiritual dissent and deliberate doctrinal machination

in furtherance of spurious motivation were sufficient grounds to deliver him to Satan. He was totally

exposed shortly thereafter, hence, the order of his appointment with Satan was signed, sealed and

delivered he was excommunicated! End of Part I.
