A pseudo soothsayer or psychic from Brazil is spreading fear of a great disaster that would hit the Philippines this coming 18th of July 2008. According to Jucelino Nobrega da Luz (the self-proclaimed prophet of doom) the country will be facing a devastating earthquake with an intensity 8 magnitude.
His doomsday prediction spread like wildfire in e-mails, the internet and the mainstream media which greatly affected the people whether to take it seriously or not. Concerned government agencies have calmed its citizens not to worry because nobody is capable of predicting any impending earthquake or great disaster.
The certainty that no disaster will happen this July failed to convince some sectors especially that deadly calamities frequently hits the Philippines. Another great disaster like earthquake at this time could bring the country to its knees.
The people are just hoping that the Brazilian psychic is wrong and his improvable prediction ends in the gutter of falsehood prophecy. Earlier reports have said that Jucelino Nobrega da Luz gained prominence worldwide because of his psychic ability to predict future events, disastrous events for that matter.
But many people from around the world have questioned his credibility and personality. He was accused of being a false prophet globetrotting the world and doing an errand by spreading his psychic power to predict future events. Last year, he planed in to Japan for a TV interview which he attracted the gullible audience, viewers and some of his ardent followers and believers. Hopefully his frightening prediction about the Philippines would not occur in the 3rd Friday of this month.
