INC HOLDS ‘RALLY FOR PEACE’ IN ORMOC, DRAWS 30,000 MEMBERS FROM ALL OVER EASTERN VISAYAS. On January 13, 2024, Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) gathered for a large-scale “Rally for Peace,” drawing approximately 30,000 members from various parts of Eastern Visayas to the city of Ormoc, aiming to promote unity and harmony amidst ongoing political and social challenges in the country.
The rally featured a show of support for President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.’s recent statement opposing impeachment initiatives being pushed by some groups against VP Sara Duterte. President Marcos emphasized that such efforts would not contribute to the betterment of the Filipino people and could potentially distract the government from addressing the nation’s pressing issues.
The INC members expressed hope that the rally would serve as a platform to convey their call for peace and unity to the government. They believe that through collective efforts and mutual understanding, progress can be achieved for the nation. With their strong presence and clear message, the participants are optimistic that their voices will be heard, inspiring unity and solidarity among the Filipino people in the country.
