Mayo 5, 2015Mga mahal na Kapatid,Dahil sa matinding hamon ng Kapatid na Glicerio B. Santos Jr. sa buong Iglesia ng magturo sya ng lektura sa WEBEX Video Conference kausap ang lahat ng mga Ministro at Manggagawa sa buong mundo patungkol sa diumano’y paninira daw na kumakalat sa internet, sa Social Media at ang kaniyang buong igting na ipinagsigawan ay “Walang anomalya sa pananalapi ng Iglesia! Puro lang yan paninira! Wala naman silang ebidensya! Wala! Wala silang nalalaman ni katiting tungkol sa pananalapi ng Iglesia! Wala! Wala silang alam!”.Papaano naman kaya ipapaliwanag ng Kapatid na Glicerio B. Santos Jr. ang di-maipaliwanag na kayamanan nila kaya sila nagkaroon ng mga “high-end” Restaurants na ang nagmamay-ari ay ang kanilang mga anak na si Gertrude “Jet” Santos at “True” Santos-Matias. But then ofcourse tyak na may naka-ready ng “alibi” ang Pamilya Santos ukol dito dahil sa alam nilang darating ang panahon na malalantad din sila. Narito ang kanilang magarbong restaurant na ipinangalang pa nila sa kanila (para hindi daw natin mahalata), ang TRUE Deli Cafe at ang JET 7 Bistro na kung inyong bibisitahin, (gaya ng aking ginawa upang makita ko mismo sa sarili ko kung totoo nga) ay makikita nyo na ito ay hindi tinipid, sa lugar (location) pa lamang ay ginastusan na ng husto dahil napaka-mahal ng commercial value ng lugar kung saan ito nakatayo, mamahalin ang interior at mga kagamitan. Hindi ko na iisipin kung ilang milyon ang ginastos dito, subalit maraming mga kapatid na contractors ang makapagsasabi na hindi mumunting halaga ang ginugol para dito. At kayo na rin po ang humusga kung ito ba ay akma at abot kaya ng isang anak ng Ministro sa Iglesia… Kung sa ibang mga Ministro nga ay napakahigpit ng Pamamahala sa uri ng pamumuhay nila, bakit kapag sa mga anak na ng Sanggunian ay tila baga hindi aplikable ang mga tuntuning ito. At ang Jet 7 Bistro ay mayroon pang mga inuming nakalalasing, hindi lang pala tuntunin ang nalalabag, pati pala ang Doktrina ay hindi na nila isinasaalang-alang. Maari nilang itangging sa kanila ang mga negosyong ito subalit isa itong “open-secret” sa mga nandito sa Central, kaya pinupuntahan pa ito ng mga Ministro at Manggagawa at mga kawani sa Tanggapan. At ang Bistro ni Jet ang siyang may hawak ng “meal ticket” ng lahat ng mga trabahador sa mga pagawain sa Philippine Arena, Sports Stadium at iba pa. Sila din ang nagcater sa mga malalaking okasyon sa Iglesia gaya ng ginawa sa Centenaryo at iba pang malalaking okasyon sa Philippine Arena. O di ba sali nila lahat ng pagkakakitaan sa Iglesia. Kaya magatataka pa ba kayo kung bakit laging gusto ng Ka Jun Santos na maraming aktibidad sa Iglesia lalo na sa Philippine Arena, para kahit yun pang catering ng pagkain mula sa VIP, sa guests hanggang sa nga staff, contruction at personnel ay sa kanila pa rin ang pasok. Hindi ba conflict of interest yan? Hindi naman siguro kasi lahat na lang sa Iglesia ay may interest si JS kaya walang conflict. Kung merong tinatawag na captured market, TAYO GINAWANG HOSTAGED MARKET NG KA JUN SANTOS. Pero ano nga ba uli ang sa i nya (sic)? “Wala kayong nalalaman! Wala! Wala kayong kahit katiting na kabatiran! Wala!” .

On LGUs’ enviable recognition of INC
Nine pages of the July 27 issue of the Inquirer contained greetings to the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) on its 100th founding anniversary, including one on full page from the Office of the Mayor of Manila! Wow! These were in addition to such greetings in the earlier issues of the Inquirer, including INC’s less than one-fourth-page acknowledgement of the greetings.
The Inquirer was not the only media outfit that ran or aired such greetings. Billboards and tarpaulin sheets printed with words of felicitations for the religious sect could be found in every available nook and cranny of Metro Manila and, of course, Bulacan, where the INC has built a multibillion-peso multipurpose complex. There must have been a lot more of these messages in the rest of the country. Nagkakandarapa ang mga tao na bumati sa INC. (People are scrambling to greet the INC.)
As a Catholic, I cannot but envy the importance accorded to the INC. I am now a septuagenarian and I do not recall the Catholic Church being the subject of recognition of such breadth and scale, let alone in paid advertisements in the Inquirer.
As a Filipino, I lament the attention given to the INC. That the organization is a vaunted political force and influence is a given. Without doubt or question, the advertisers wish to be assured of the continuing vote of INC members to perpetuate them, their family, their children, their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren in power.
Such is just one part of my grievance.
My other concern is the source of funds used to pay for the publication and/or printing of the greetings. Most likely, it was the city, province or political unit; more specifically the Filipino people, with the taxes and exorbitant fees they pay for government services.
By the way, I do not take issue with the Inquirer’s multipage feature article on the INC in last July 27’s issue. I respect our constitutional guarantees on the freedom of religion and freedom of the press. What I cannot countenance is the implication from all this: how distant we still are from political uprightness and integrity.

"...However the Singapore National Stadium, completed in June, also seats 55,000 people and has been hailed in the press as the world's largest domed structure.
"...The Iglesia ni Cristo sect wields considerable political influence in the Philippines as its members, believed to number about three million people, vote as a bloc for whoever their leaders endorse."
MANILA (AFP) - Philippine President Benigno Aquino presided over the opening on Monday of what is billed as the world's largest indoor stadium, erected by a politically-influential religious sect.
The US$175-million (S$218.8 million) Philippine Arena, which can seat 55,000 people, was hailed as a showcase that will serve as a major venue for concerts and sports events as well as gatherings for its owners, the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ) sect.
An increasingly influential Christian sect in the Philippines opened what it claimed to be “the largest theater in the world” on Monday. President Benigno Aquino led the inauguration ceremony at the Philippine Arena north of Manila, where Iglesias ni Cristo (Church of Christ) kicked off its centenary celebrations.
Manila, July 22 (TruthDive): Philippine President Benigno Aquino headed over the opening of what is touted as the world's largest indoor stadium on Monday. The $175-million Philippine Arena can seat 55,000 people and was welcomed as a display cabinet that will function as a main venue for sports events and concerts as well as gatherings for its owners, the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ) sect. By considering the seating capacity of the arena alone, the Philippine Arena is double the size of the largest vaulted arenas in Europe and in the United States.

GMANetwork News, MANILA - The Senate on Monday passed a resolution declaring July 27 this year as a non-working holiday to commemorate the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC)'s centennial.
The INC, which practices bloc-voting during elections, has an estimated five to eight million votes out of the 52 million registered voters nationwide. The INC's support is much sought-after by politicians during elections.
Eighteen senators voted to approve House Joint Resoultion No. 12 declaring INC's centennial year celebration next month as a holiday due to "the massive scale of the vent."
The resolution was filed by House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr., Majority Leader Neptali Gonzales Jr., Minority Leader Ronaldo Zamora and Bacolod City Rep. Evelio Leonardia.
The resolution described the INC as "the largest entirely indigenous Christian church in the Philippines" and as "the largest independent Christian church in Asia." -NB, GMA News
MANILA, Philippines (PDI Online)—The Philippine Postal Corp. (Philpost) on Saturday launched the Iglesia ni Cristo Centennial Commemorative Stamp at the INC Central Office in Diliman, Quezon City, to mark the 100th anniversary of the church’s registration in the Philippines.
In ceremonies held at the INC’s Bulwagan, Postmaster General Ma. Josefina M. de la Cruz and Executive Minister Eduardo V. Manalo unveiled the stamp that features the INC Central Temple and the late Felix Y. Manalo, founder and first executive minister of the INC, in sepia. At the bottom of the stamp is the INC centennial logo in color.
The launch coincided with the 128th birth anniversary of Felix Y. Manalo.
The stamp, 50 millimeters by 35 mm, is bigger than the ordinary-sized 40 mm by 30 mm stamps, which De la Cruz said was “not an arbitrary decision.”
Twice the number“It passed through certification by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines,” she said.
De la Cruz said Philpost will issue 1.2 million of the stamps, which is more than twice the number of stamps they usually issue for a single design.
After the unveiling, Manalo, De la Cruz and Philpost chair Cesar Sarino participated in the ceremonial signing of the INC stamp’s “first day cover.”
De la Cruz also presented a souvenir frame of the centennial stamp to the INC leader.In his speech, Manalo noted the significance of the launch date of the centennial stamp in remembering the founder of the INC and his ministry.

At ayon sa kanilang opisyal na magasing Pasugo, ang sinomang Iglesia ni Cristo na lumitaw kamakailan lamang ay hindi tunay kundi HUWAD!
“Ang tunay na Iglesia ni Cristo ay iisa lamang, ito ang Iglesiang itinayo ni Cristo. Kung mayroon mang nagsisibangon ngayong mga Iglesia at sasabihing sila man ay INK rin ang mga ito ay hindi tunay kundi huwad lamang!"

One of the new religious groups, started by a Filipino who broke away from American missionary authority, was the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), the Church of Christ. It remains a dominant institution in the Philippines today, its churches and chapels with their easily recognizable architecture scattered throughout the archipelago. It was founded by Felix Manalo, who after being raised in a devout Roman Catholic home and having some contact with millenarian groups at Mount Banahaw, declared himself to be a Protestant at the age of sixteen. He first joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1904 and then the Presbyterian Church the following year, attending classes for a short time at the Ellinwood Bible School. IN 1908, he joined the Disciples of Christ and served as an evangelist for a year before leaving, having been accused of domestic violence. IN 1912, he joined the Sevent Day Adventists, but was supended a year later for alledged adultery. Manalo decided to start his own church and on July 27, 1914, he incorporated Iglesia ni Cristo. Beginning in Manila, the movement spread out into the provinces. By the beginning of World War II, there were churches of this new group in almost every province on Luzon and in the eastern part of the Visayas.
The doctrines of the church begin with the belief that Felix Manalo was the fulfillment of Revelation 7:1-3, which speaks of the angel from the east. Because Manalo had visited the United States in 1919 and then returned from the east to the Philippines, he proclaimed in 1921 that he was that angel. In addition, the church founded in Jerusalem by Jesus of Nazareth became apostate and did not exist from 70 CE to 1914, but was reborn with the appearance of the angel from the east. In contrast to its Protestant roots, the movement is not Trinitarian and holds the Jesus was not divine.
The movement’s phenomenal growth has been tied to various factors, beginning with the charismatic leadership of its founder, who dominated the church for forty-nine years. Not only an eloquent speaker, he was a master organizer who had absolute control. Only Manalo had authority to interpret the Bible, and he prepared the sermon outlines for his ministers. The indigenous nature of the church also made it popular.
Founded by a Filipino for Filipinos, Filipinos alone have been responsible for its activities, including the construction of its many buildings. The use of Tagalog and other local dialects, rather than English, in the services, hymns, prayers, and sermons is also important. The INC has has provided a sense of community for many. Congregations are close-knit, self-contained, and separatist in nature. Members help each other find work, and the church makes loans to those starting businesses. Members are well-trained in the tenets of their faith and, in contrast to other Filipinos, are able to defend their doctrines by quoting the Bible verses. On the other hand, the fear of excommunication keeps members from straying. One can be cast out of the church for excessive drinking or gambling, disagreement with the policies of the church, apostasy, marriage to someone outside the church, and adultery.
