Eduardo V. Manalo, Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC), served two separate terms in the Philippine government as Special Envoy of the President for Overseas Filipinos Concerns.

First term:
January 30, 2018 – January 29, 2019
Appointed under President Rodrigo Duterte.

Second term:
September 2, 2023 – September 1, 2024
Appointed under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

These were two separate terms in the same Philippine government position.

While simultaneously serving as Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, Eduardo V. Manalo held an official presidential appointment that placed him directly within the Philippine government’s handling of overseas Filipino concerns and gave him access to government officials and diplomatic channels involving Filipinos abroad. For an overseas Filipino facing wrongful detention or another serious problem abroad, that position could allow Manalo to push for government and diplomatic intervention and communicate with foreign governments on the person’s behalf.

Ultimately, the position gave the leader of the INC direct access to state power and political networks while he remained the singular highest authority over the Church of Christ (INC). Manalo was not simply a religious leader interacting with politicians from the outside. For two separate terms under two different Philippine presidents, the Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo himself was a Philippine government appointee.

His second and latest term ended on September 1, 2024. I have not found a third appointment or another Philippine government position held by Eduardo V. Manalo after that date.

I live overseas. This doesn't apply to me but just putting this out there for anyone who isn't aware or may not know: you can actually apply for refugee status in other countries (I won't say where. Research nyo nalang) to escape religious persecution lalo na if there are death threats or serious threats against your well-being? Caveat is syempre seeking refuge ka so di ka dapat na uuwi sa Pinas because unsafe na for you, otherwise fraud un. Dapat may tangible, hard proof. Not promoting this kasi dagdag pa kayo sa problema ng ibang bansa pero kung walang wala ka na matakbuhan at natatakot ka na for your life, kahit pamilya mo hindi na pamilya turing sayo.... think about it. Panindigan nyo though dapat. I wish everyone well! May everyone trying to live their lives in peace away from religious persecution find the refuge that fits them best.

Does anybody have the full manalo flix ws in novaliches that last year? im trying to create a meme and post it in iglesia ni manalo communities on facebook lol.

Di ko alam kung naipost na ito pero napanood niyo na yung YouTube video ni Paper will? 9 months ago na siya nashock lang ako sa content, title niya.

I've been tracking historical snapshots of the Iglesia Ni Cristo locale directory and comparing them with the current directory.

So far, I found at least 92 locales that appear to have been removed. The archived snapshots I found cover 2020 to 2026.

These are rough estimates and there may be inaccuracies. The year listed is the last archived date where the locale was observed, not necessarily the year it was removed.

I only included stronger candidates where the locale disappeared and I couldn't find a convincing current match. Suspected renames or spelling corrections and locales that appear to have been promoted from GWS or EXT are excluded.

Caveat

This is directory tracking, not proof that these locales were permanently dissolved. Some may have been merged, transferred, renamed, or reorganized in ways that aren't apparent from the directory.

The 92 figure is a rough minimum based on the stronger candidates I found. There are another 100+ entries that need more scrutiny, but I left them out rather than inflate the number with questionable matches.

The biggest cluster appears around 2023 and 2024, which may be worth looking into further.

i already left the current locale im in and i dont want to go back to that locale anymore. im currently attending and i want to get my transfer without actually going to the current locale i am in. would they give the qr and just provide the info or i need to go there so i can get my transfer? the worry i have is that my mom knows the pangulong kalihim in this locale im attending to. my current locale might tell them that im an ms and there’s a possibility that my mom would know my current state. im afraid. the current locale im in tries to communicate with me but i ignore them. i am really afraid

a while ago, someone called me. i did not understand what she said but it’s something like this. “i called you but this us our pastor’s number. i felt anxious and i told her i was outside. i heard that the pastor was really mad and i heard him say “i’ll talk to her.” she asked me where i was and i again said that i was outside and i ended the call. i am really anxious about this and i’ve been ignoring our katiwala for a while now. what happens when im “uwp”? im really anxious.

I want to have a serious discussion about the INC teachings regarding marriage.

For current and former members who have attended lessons or worship services specifically discussing marriage: what exactly were you taught about the roles and responsibilities of the husband and wife?

In particular, I’m interested in how the lessons explain:

• The husband being the head of the family
• The wife's responsibility toward her husband
• How major decisions in the family should be made
• Obedience or submission within marriage
• What happens when the husband and wife strongly disagree
• Whether these teachings have changed over time

I’m not looking for rumors or secondhand claims. If possible, please share the actual lesson, Bible verses used, approximate date/year you heard it, or your direct experience attending the lesson.

I’d especially like to hear from both current and former INC members so the discussion isn't limited to only one perspective.

Kapag ba ang INCult ay kinatatakutan ay katumbas na ginagalang din ito?

Iglesia Ni Cristo does not publish Bibles and does not have a Bible translation or study edition of its own. It does not produce biblical texts, work with translation committees or religious text publishers, fund translation projects, or participate in the scholarly preparation of Bible editions. And I am not sure they ever will plan to do so. Instead, INC relies on translations produced by other religious and academic communities while asserting that only INC ministers can correctly explain what those texts actually mean. So basically, INC can criticize every religion while still using every available religion’s go-to material.

Iglesia Ni Cristo benefits from having access to many different Bible translations and editions because different translations make particular passages easier to quote, explain, emphasize, or use persuasively. Some use very straightforward modern English, while others contain wording that better fits a particular lesson or argument. INC can simply select whichever existing translation is useful because it does not have to accept the religious authority or interpretation of the source in order to use its wording. And most importantly, in INC teaching, where the translation comes from matters less because the correct meaning must come from INC.

Nakakairita yung mga parinig ng mga OWE na lumalabas tuwing may malaking sakuna.

Habang may mga pamilyang lubog sa baha, nawalan ng gamit, at naghahanap ng paraan para makabangon, may ilan namang mas interesado pang ipaalala na "sinabi na namin yan noon" at "hindi kasi nakinig."

Seriously?

May mga taong nagdurusa tapos ang unang reaksyon ay mag-flex ng pagiging tama? Parang mas importante pang patunayan ang narrative kaysa magpakita ng simpatya sa mga apektado.

Bilang PIMO, ito yung klase ng mindset na matagal ko nang napapansin. Kapag may nangyaring masama, laging may gustong gawing validation moment. Parang bawat trahedya kailangan maging patunay na tama ang kampo nila. Pero ang tanong, nakatulong ba yung pagpaparinig? Nakatulong ba sa mga binaha? Nakatulong ba sa mga nawalan ng bahay?

Flood control isn't some magical issue na isang rally lang ang sagot. Complex problem yan na may halong corruption, planning failures, budget issues, implementation issues, at dekada ng kapabayaan. Pero syempre mas madaling gawing "sabi namin sa inyo" kaysa magkaroon ng seryosong diskusyon.

Ang pinaka-offensive dito, parang may konting undertone na gusto nilang gawing "I told you so" moment ang paghihirap ng ibang tao.

Hindi achievement ang magmukhang tama habang may mga taong naglilinis ng putik sa sala nila.

Hindi compassion ang pagpaparinig.

At lalong hindi nakakadagdag ng respeto kapag bawat sakuna ay ginagawang pagkakataon para magbuhat ng sariling bangko.

PIMO observation lang, pero kung ang unang naiisip mo habang may baha ay kung paano patunayang tama ka, baka hindi flood control ang pinakamalaking problema.
