My COUNTRYMEN My BRETHREN


"For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. Amen."-Romans 11:36

Blessings from above! 

This is how I described my feelings about our "Kabayan Ko Kapatid Ko" last February 22, 2014 at Barrio Maligaya Palayan Nueva Ecija. I am grateful to witness this event for the "Centennial Year" of Iglesia Ni Cristo. The sixth Guinness World Record of INC -"THE MOST NUMBER OF HUNGER RELIEF PACKAGES DISTRIBUTED IN 8 HOURS". In the commemoration of the 49th anniversary of Barrio Maligaya, for the INC families of the place who had sent away from Hacienda Luisita in 1965 and for the 22nd anniversary of the resettlement site in Barrio Bagong Buhay, for those affected families in Mt. Pinatubo eruption in 1991.

Our departure time was 3:36 am (Feb.21-friday) .The road trip was almost 200 km and I saw of course, mostly wide plains and farm as they said that Nueva Ecija was the "Rice Granary of the Philippines". At 10:09 am we reached Barrio Maligaya. Since it was too early we took some rest, ate our lunch and went around to take pictures. We also meet our  brethren from different local and like us they had a long travel going to Palayan. I'm so happy because it was also my first time to travel going North and it's fulfilling! (I'm inspired to climb a mountain and that's my next mission!)

The performance ended at 12 midnight then afterwards we went to the  huge tent which is having the capacity to accommodate 250,000 people  for the Special Worship headed by Brother Eduardo V. Manalo. 


The Special Worship was attended by half a million of INC member. The Worship started at 7 am.
Before and after Special Worship <3. This is my second time to heard the preached of our beloved Bro. Eduardo in person. I feel blessed!

After the Special Worship, at exactly 9:18 am the relief distribution was started. The operation was successfully done and after 8 hours...
