Our Lady of Agoo--Man Made or Divine?

The visionary Judiel Nieva reportedly first started receiving private apparitions of Our Lady in 1987 when he was only 10 years old and in sixth grade. These initial visions took place in the privacy of his own home. Later Our Blessed Mother instructed the visionary (and some of his friends) to go up to the small spring of water in the hills above Ago, the site of San Antonio. It was at this “sitio” of San Antonio that the first of the public apparitions began on March 31 1989 when Our Lady appeared to the seer atop a guava tree on a rise high above the spring. Judiel Nieva was born into a family of eight (he was seventh). His parents Pedro and Julia operated two stalls in the local market. The children were all expected to help. Once Judiel claims to have seen Jesus crucified hanging on the cross as the seer stepped out of his parent’s stall. It is reported that everyone in Agoo knew Judiel because he was reputed to have special powers, even as a child of ten. He was sought out as a healer. Even then Judiel prayed a lot. He was said to be psychic and could tell if a person was a non-believer, even from a distance. Yet the local parish priest of Agoo thought Judiel was making up these things.

Status: Established as Not Supernatural (Constat de Non Supernaturalitate)

Episcopal Remarks: Condemned by Theological Commission of Bishop Salvador Lazo, Philippines 1993. Although quotes from the commission are presently unavailable the bad “fruits” of the apparitions widely reported in the news media and internet such as financial corruption of the family and the latent transexualism of the seer, evidently supported its findings.
