The Local Congregation of Barangka, Mandaluyong in the Ecclesiastical District of Metro Manila East in the Philippines held a concert in commemoration of its 90th year. The activity was held at the gymnasium of Mandaluyong College of Science and Technology in Metro Manila, Philippines on March 22, 2026.

“This activity serves to further strengthen the brethren’s faith and acknowledge the Lord God’s guidance in their lives,” resident minister Brother Oley Ven Gutierrez said.

The concert featured a diverse set of performers who rendered INC original music from solo to choral ensemble. The songs that they performed were titled God’s Promise, Onward To Salvation, Huwag Patayin Ang Ningas Ng Espiritu Santo (Don’t Extinguish the Fire of the Holy Spirit), Ngayon Na (The Time is Now), Forever INC, Heirs To The Crown, Ikaw Na Aking Hinawakan Mula Sa Mga Wakas Ng Lupa (You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth), May I Always Be True, Pagkat Sinumpaan Ko Sa Diyos (For I Have Vowed Before God), and as the finale: Mahal Po Naming Tagpamahalang Pangkalahatan (Our Beloved Executive Minister).

These musical numbers were complemented with audio and video presentations which detailed the congregation’s history, highlighting the pioneers’ inspiring lives, and that of select Church officers, and other active members.

On behalf of her fellow organizers, Jessica Bazar-Jingco said, “Seeing the success of this activity is a humbling experience; we recognize that our own abilities were not enough, and this triumph belongs to God Who guided us and gave us the strength to fulfill our duties.”

“The musical performances effectively fulfill the Church Administration’s aim of praising the Lord God and celebrating His wondrous works in the Church from our beginnings to the present day,” enthused local congregation chronicler and deaconess Leonissa Pangilinan.

District supervising minister Brother Gerino S. Lalata graced the celebratory event with his presence. — With assistance from Sir Aris Galias
