This guy is the alleged “prophet” who predicted the earthquake on July 18, 2008. But who really is he? Does he really exist?
According to Inquirer.net, his name is spelled Jucelino Nobrega da Luz on some websites, a Brazilian, born in 1960. Googling for his name brought me to Martin Wagner’s website, which says that Juseleeno Nobulega Daroose is actually a misspelling (or mispronunciation?) of Jucelino Nobrega da Luz, his real name.
The man really exists. The man really made prophecies, some were fulfilled but MOST are not. Mr. Daroose or da Luz has his website here and his predictions for 2008 are listed here.
Now, see for yourself. He made 120 predictions for 2008. How many were fulfilled? How many did not happen? Is he really that accurate? Judge for yourself. 
For me, he is just someone who’s playing with probability and statistics. The more predictions, the more chances of getting fulfilled. He’s kinda smart predicting hurricanes/typhoon in a typhoon-prone area during their typhoon months, predicting earthquakes on countries on the earthquake belt, predicting people getting killed on bombing in countries like Iraq. If he is really good in predicting, how come I haven’t heard him winning the lottery yet? If I were him and I really have the talent in seeing the future, I will be the richest man in the world right now. I’ll win every lottery draw in the world every week. Hehehe.
And wait, did you see the earthquake on Philippines listed on his predictions for July 2008? It’s not even there!

[...] been circulating on e-mail, blog posts and text messages. They say that someone by the name of Juseleeno Nobulega Daroose predicted that an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.1 will hit the Philippines this coming July 18, [...]

mas malaki seguro ang traffic nito kesa sa earthquake. try ko kaya. hehe
July 9th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Nabasa ko na rin ito sa ibang blog before eh!
Kaya nga sinabinbing hula eh, ibig sabihin ay puwedeng magkatotoo o puwede ring hindi.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
@Paul.. hehe. hula as in guess, pwede talaga magkatotoo, pwede hindi. pero as a prophecy, his credibility as a prophet or a fortune teller is at stake kung hindi magkakatotoo yung mga hula nya.
July 10th, 2008 at 12:08 am
pero pag nagkatotoo ang hula ni Juseleeno Nobulega Daroose tapos ang pilipinas
July 10th, 2008 at 3:19 am

Sabihin niya yan sa Japan. Na ang Japan ay magkaka earth quake.
Tatawanan lang sia. Tulo laway pa.
Ang dalas ng earthquake sa Japan.
Mangyayari ang ano mang bagay sa mundong ito.
Ang mahalaga laging handa ang tao.
Para sinabi lang yan ni Teacher.
Class my quiz tayo sa July 18, 2008 “be ready”
Palibhasa tao tayo. Maghahanda. Kung kelan lang sinabi.
Pero yung mga surprise quiz tunay yon.
Doon tayo laging nasisilat. Hindi tayo ready.
Ang masasabi ko lang. Laging maging handa.
Coz anything might will happen. Maging bagyo, lindol, babagsak ang dolyar.
Hindi importante kung ano ang nangyari. Ang mahalaga ano ginawa sa nangyari.
Just Go on and just be aware. Anyway you don’t know what will happen the next day.
Just like you don’t know kung kelan ka matetepok. Hehhehe
July 11th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Tsaka kung mangyari man ang lindol dito. Lahat ba ng Filipino lalayas sa dito.
Tsaka ke nasa lupa o langit pwede kang abutan ng tepok noh.
July 12th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
SANA DI MAGKATOTOO PERO AT LEAST HANDA DBA? PRAY N LNG TAU..
July 12th, 2008 at 8:34 pm

July 15th, 2008 at 9:49 am

I don’t want to comment about his predictions right now. He may be right, he may be wrong. Stop talking and do something. and If you win every lottery in the world. many people will want to kill you. easy money. Even if you can predict where they will hit you, you will get tired of running. You can’t call the police beause you don’t have a proof yet because it’s not yet happening. Think. Think Hard. Pray!
July 16th, 2008 at 11:17 am
well, let’s just see if it’s gonna happen.. nevertheless, we always have to follow the saying “prevention is better than cure”.
July 16th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
to all the people who gave their comments and insights on this so much talk about issue, each and everyone one of you have the point of your own. well it really depends on you if you’ll believe on this matter or not. whatever may happen, yes all we have to do is be ready. it would be better if each of us will pray at the same time together because its powerful than any other predictions and the most is that we must keep our faith strong that God will not let any bad thing to happen to us all. If this will be a trial from God we must be strong with clear minds, always be alert and yes, prevention is better than cure. I’m not saying that I believe in his prophecy nor I doubt it. either way, just pray with all your heart and mind. keep that faith in God. never give up in any trials, challenge or whatever it may be.
July 16th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Kahit sino satin phwede mag predict.. na-prepredict ko na!! Mali siya… MALI si Juseleeno Nobulega Daroose .. tsk! tsk! actualy sa nakikita ko Php 46.00 to USD 1.00 sa July 18, 2008 … waaaaaa
July 16th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
I had a dream last night bout d quake dat would supposedly hit dis friday july 18, 2008. I dont believe in prophesy, i beliv dat we create our own reality. but dat dream bothered me a lot 4 in a span of 3 wks since ive received an email bout d quake… twice ive dream of it happening. i did not pay attention to it but my latest dream bothered me a lot. in my dream, as i witness again the quake happened, i was holding a book on my hand. wat was bothering bout it was a small caption was written at the back of the book. I can still clearly recall wat was written. it says… “URSUARLUA- meaning God sometimes sends prophesies in dreams… most people will not beliv u… but it will happen!” im not a beliver of this, but ders always nothing wrong in preparing. thanks

Nakakatakot ang prediction. Whatever happens, sa Diyos tayo. Siya ang bahala.

The TRUTH BEHIND JULY 18, 2008 EARTHQUAKE (Philippines) and Juseleeno Nobulega Daroose
mahrgil, pasali naman dito!! hehe.
July 18th, 2008 at 9:18 am
Ano nga na yang LINDOL?? Makakain ba yan??
July 18th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Hi guys,
Actually from Daluz’s official website: http://www.jucelinodaluz.com.br/previsoes_2008_english.htm , pag tinignan nyo dun sa July 2008 portion, HINDI NAMAN NAKALAGAY UNG 8.1 MAGNITUDE na earthquake sa Pilipinas na prediction nya. Ibig sabihin hindi nya even pinredict yun.
Sa nakikita ko SOMEONE made HIS OWN PREDICTION, ginawang nyang pang-support kunyari ung mga predictions ni Daroose then pinakalat nya sa internet.
We all know the fact that only God knows what will happen to us in the future. Sad to say that there are other individuals taking advantage of these “predictions.” Lets all pray for these people to stop making pranks. It makes huge scale confusions and fear to people.
Sana nman matauhan na ung mga taong gumagawa ng ganito na mga walang magawa sa buhay nila…
GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

Halow eto si Juicy Lino. Hinhulaan ko mga email add nyo hehe. sa hula ko din dami makakababasa ng posting na ito. Merun pa ko isa hula, sa Dec madami ang mga ninongs at ninangs na magsisipagtago sa pnas. may mga tao din na mag dadagsaan sa SM malls.
Lalakas ang benta ng kandila at bulaklak bago mag a uno ng Nobyembre, ano klase bulaklak? tulungan nyo ko mang hula.year 3000 14 of Feb. mapula ang araw na ito para sa pnas lovers, ewan ko lang kung maluwag na ang policy sa mga motels check in.
May mga bulkan na maaring pumutok sa pnas, lugar na babahain lalo na sa tag ulan. hehehehe.
Did you see the logic guys…its so easy to say this things like this….Trust and Faith in God is what will save us all. Keep the Faith.
One more thing if this kinda emails get circulated and forwarded hundreds of times..imagine the email adds that gets forwarded along with it. People you dont even know and there email add is at your disposal. This are “precious targets “to the eyes of t”he spammers.”
CHEERSSS!!!

Di siguro ganito kalakas… but come to think of it. May history tayo ng lindol July 16th. na devastated ng husto ang Baguio at northern part ng pinas. Wala naka predict nun it just happened.
PAG ASA detects hundreds of minor earthquakes a day. They wil warn us if an impending big quake is gonna come by..if we have a nerd genius type of guy working there, just like in the movies.
July 18th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
