- Yakan: “It is true, some of them proclaim about Isa Almasi because they are jealous of me and they want to outdo me. But there are also others who proclaim because they really want that the people know about Almasi.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “As for some, the reason they spread what Christ taught is because they are jealous of me and they want to excel over me.
