VLOG: INC makes presence more globally felt

Over a million members of Iglesia ni Cristo troop to the Philippine Arena in Bulacan, for their centennial celebration, Sunday. 
Paterno Esmaquel returns with this report.

PATERNO ESMAQUEL, REPORTING: Now 100 years old, the Iglesia ni Cristo makes the world feel its presence all the more.

On its centennial, the Iglesia ni Cristo or Church of Christ breaks two world records: one for the largest mixed use indoor theater in the world, the Philippine Arena, and another for the largest Gospel choir, which sang during its centennial on Sunday.
Iglesia spokesman Edwil Zabala says this achievement brings pride also to the Philippines.

BRO. EDWIL ZABALA, IGLESIA NI CRISTO SPOKESMAN: Pinakikita natin na sa kabila ng katotohanang maraming negatibong balita – at kayo mismo alam na alam ninyo yon, maraming problema – meron din namang nangyayari dito sa Pilipinas na maganda, masarap ibalita, sapagkat maganda ang naging layunin sa likuran ng pangyayari. (We’re showing that despite the fact that we have lots of negative news – and you yourselves know this; we have many problems – there’s a lot of good news happening in the Philippines because of the good intentions behind the events.)

Up to 1.5 million members of the Iglesia ni Cristo trooped to the Ciudad de Victoria for the centennial.
Many of them spend the night in the Ciudad de Victoria, vowing to to make the Iglesia grow all the more in the next 100 years.
