In the Philippines, a former Japanese collaborationist named Benigno Ramos has risen to prominence within the Rizalist movement, he claims to have survived a plane crash and received a revelation from God that for his work for Filipino independence against the Americans he was chosen by heaven to lead the Rizalists to victory, he preaches that the Philippines is impure with “Spanish and Anglo-American corruption”, he says that Rizal will reveal himself and take his place as the rightful ruler of the Philippines once it is pure. He also claims he can hear the voice of God speaking to him (Banal na Tinig, “Heavenly Voice”), that the Filipinos are God’s true chosen people, that the Philippines is the location of the Biblical Garden of Eden, Ophir, and Sheba, that King Solomon’s gold is hidden somewhere in the Philippines, and that in the end times God will uplift the Philippines above all other nations.
(OOC: Not all of this is Iglesia Watawat ng Lahi doctrine, however there are other groups which actually believe the Philippines is Eden, Ophir, and Sheba, look up “Ophir Philippines” on the Internet and you’ll find there are actually people who believe this, I added this to make him more insane, the discrepancies with normal Rizalist doctrine can be explained as stuff Ramos added from his “divine revelations”.)
