Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition Series 3):
AUGUST 31, 2009
Eraño de Guzman Manalo (January 2, 1925 - August 31, 2009), the second Executive Minister of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), passed away at the age of 84 due to cardiopulmonary arrest.
Born in Quezon City, Ka Erdy as he was called by many, took over the administration of the church in 1963 after the death of his father, Felix Manalo.
Under his leadership, the INC saw a continuous increase in membership. The houses of worship proliferated and the Iglesia ni Cristo propagated in six continents of the globe.
His son Eduardo now sits as Executive Minister.
