Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):
JULY 27, 1914
The Iglesia ni Cristo or INC, a Christian denomination religion was founded by Felix Manalo who became the first Executive Minister.
After Manalo’s death in 1963, the INC had become a nationwide church with 1,250 local chapels and 35 large cathedrals.
His son Eraño took over and successfully campaigned for the growth of the church locally and internationally until his death in 2009.
Eduardo Manalo succeeded his father Eraño as Executive Minister.
To date, the Iglesia ni Cristo is the 3rd largest religious denomination in the Philippines.
