The Sangguniang Panlungsod of Bacolod City recently passed unanimously a resolution expressing their heartfelt congratulations to the Iglesia ni Cristo for its 101st Anniversary Celebration. The resolution is authored by Councilors, Caesar Z. Distrito, Em Legaspi Ang, Roberto Rojas, Carlos Jose Lopez, El Cid Familiaran, Alex Paglumotan and Ana Marie Palermo. The resolution said that last year, Pres. Benigno Aquino III issued Proclamation 815 declaring the year 2014 as the Iglesia Ni Cristo Centennial year and for this year, July 27, 2015 is declared as a Special Working Holiday as a show of gratitude to INC members. It said that in Bacolod City alone, Iglesia ni Cristo has more than 22 locals with thousands of members that become part of the integral social dimension of the community, contributing so much in the spiritual, economic and social well-being of the entire populace. It added that the INC has continuously extended help not only to the well-being of local townspeople but also to protect the environment through its various humanitarian services and outreach programs, such as its “Lingap sa Mamamayan (Filipino: Care for the People)”, the KabayanKoKapatidKo (My Countrymen My Brethren) which offered free medical and dental services, community cleanups and tree planting projects. The resolution said further that this is one way to recognize and show the City’s gratitude to the contributions made by the Iglesia Ni Cristo in the Philippines for the past 101 years and to show our support also to their future humanitarian efforts.* Negros Daily Bulletin
