On August 8, 2025, brethren from the Ecclesiastical District of Palawan were treated to an exhibit dubbed INC Life, at Robinsons Place Palawan, Barangay San Manuel, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines. District supervising minister Brother Esmeraldo Sibuma, oversaw the event supported by the INC Museum staff.
“This event was part of the district’s commemoration of the Church’s 111th anniversary. Through this, both members and their guests were able to reflect on how the Almighty God has blessed His Church from its humble beginnings to its present stature,” said Brother Michael Gayanilo, the district Christian Family Organizations (CFO) overseer.
The exhibit featured multiple panel displays showcasing historical timelines, significant milestones, and photographs that illustrated the growth of the Church Of Christ, especially in the archipelagic province. An audiovisual booth was also set up, where attendees watched a presentation highlighting God’s policy of setting apart those who would serve and worship Him, culminating in the Church Of Christ in these last days.
The activity commenced with an opening prayer led by Brother Jovilito Manuba, assistant district supervising minister. After delivering his opening remarks, Brother Sibuma, together with his wife, led the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
“I am very grateful to the Lord God for the blessings He continuously pour not only to our district but also to the entire Church. This activity helps us to revisit the history of the Church and how God fulfills His promise to His nation in these last days,” enthused deaconess Riya Villamora from Candes Congregation.
“I am honored to have been invited to this event. I deeply appreciate how it highlights the roots and identity of the Church. Every time I attend an Iglesia Ni Cristo activity, I am consistently impressed by the orderliness and organization,” said Atty. Herbert Dilig, a guest.
On behalf of the district, Brother Sibuma said, “We express our heartfelt gratitude to the Church Administration for tirelessly overseeing our spiritual welfare. With this event, the brethren’s faith have been edified, which is pleasing to the Lord God.” — With reports from Jonalyn Jiongco of INC News Section
