President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Sunday congratulated the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ) religious organization on its 111th founding anniversary, recognizing its “continued service, charity, and solidarity with others” to the Filipinos.
“For more than a century, the leadership and members of the Iglesia ni Cristo have declared and proven their purpose to serve as exemplary citizens and good disciples of God through service, charity, and solidarity with others,” Marcos said in his message posted on social media.
“Their wonderful works have greatly brought about widespread change and have resulted in understanding, mutual assistance, and unity,” he added.
Marcos also emphasized the important role of the religious group as a close partner of the government in promoting the “Bagong Pilipinas” vision of his administration.
“May all our efforts serve as the fulfillment of a Bagong Pilipinas that is truly humane, patriotic, and fearless,” he added.
The President earlier declared July 27, 2025 as a special non-working day in the Philippines for the founding anniversary of the INC.
