About the Iglesia Ni Cristo

The Iglesia Ni Cristo is one of the minority churches here in the Philippines. But it is the largest indigenous or native Christian religion in Asia.

It has a local congregation here in Maasin City where its church is located in Barangay Asuncion near the Canturing Bridge. There are also churches of the Iglesia Ni Cristo in different towns of Southern Leyte. Those that are easily to notice are their church in Padre Burgos in Barangay Cantutang, in Barangay Salvation in Sogod, and in St. Bernard. It also has churches in Hinunangan.

According to the investigators, the hunters were using a gasoline driven water pump inside the tunnel. The engine normally emits carbon monoxide which was believed to be cause of their suffocation.

Rescuers successfully got the unconscious hunters out but were declared dead upon arrival in the hospital.

Yellow confetti showered while people mostly wearing yellow shirt chant “Cory! Cory!…” and holding their hands with the “L” or laban sign which was used by Cory during her campaign for the 1986 Presidential Election against the dictator president Ferdinand Marcos. They were not hindered by the hunger and rains in laiding her to her destination.

Former president Aquino’s remains were buried just beside her beloved husband, Ninoy Aquino.

In the other regions of the Philippines, people stayed off the street watching the live coverage of the burial. Yello color is everywhere… People wear yellow shirt, pinned yellow ribbon and flew yellow ballons. Some Catholic parishes offered mass for the president.

The lawyer showed to Mr. Abunda the entries at the logbook made by the security guard assigned at the gate of the residence of Dr. Belo that proved that it’s Dr. Belo who left the residence first. Then after more than an hour, Erik Chua with his companion left the residence.

The lawyer also accused Erik Chua of copying some facts stated on the affidavit of Dr. Belo because it’s Dr. Belo who submitted affidavit first. In Dr. Belo’s affidavit, it was stated that on December 18, 2008 Erik Chua and companion went to Dr. Belo’s residence. And this fact was used by Erik Chua too. However, the truth is, in the Dr. Belo’s gate security log book, the date was December 12, 2008 not December 18, 2008.

The lawyer wanted to point out that Erik Chua is not consistent.

Dr. Belo and Erik Chua are both charged by Katrina Halili at the Department of Justice for proliferating the sex videos of Hayden Kho.
