President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has declared July 27 of this year and every year thereafter as “Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) Day.”
 
The Chief Executive issued the declaration in keeping with Republic Act 9645, which she signed into law June 12 this year declaring the said day as a special national working holiday in recognition of the founding anniversary of Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) in the Philippines.
 
The declaration coincides with the INC’s 95th founding anniversary this year.

The group had its beginnings in 1914 in Punta Sta. Ana, Manila inspired by the preaching of Felix Y. Manalo whom this church recognizes as God’s Messenger.
 
Over signing the declaration, the president congratulated the denomination in advance, on their landmark anniversary.
 
She likewise thanked the INC for the very active and significant roles its leaders and its members have “always played not only in the spiritual and moral formation of our people over the past several decades, but in nation-building as well.” (PIA)
