In celebration of the third anniversary of the establishment of the Ecclesiastical District of Zamboanga Sibugay, in the Philippines, members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) from across the district gathered for a musical and stage presentations at the Provincial Capitol Atrium in Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay on January 11, 2026.
The program began with a prayer led by Brother Billy Ed Tabelin, the district secretary. Then, Brother Eraño Fabella, district supervising minister, delivered the opening remarks, commending everyone for their continued unity with the Church Administration in faithfully serving God no matter what happens to attain salvation.
Following the opening remarks, a musical and stage play presentations were performed by select talented brethren from the eight areas of the district—Ipil, Kabasalan, Naga, RTLim, San Antonio, Siocon, Titay, and Tungawan—featuring INC original music. As the finale, all areas showcased “Salamat po Ama, sa Pamamahala” (Thank You, Father, for the Church Administration). Brother Allan Bianco, assistant district supervising minister, then conveyed his closing remarks, followed by Brother Rondo Papuran, the district edification overseer, leading the closing prayer.
Leain Longaquit, one of the performers from the Local Congregation of Concepcion, said, “It is truly fulfilling for me to have performed before the brethren. I hope that our performance helped strengthen their resolve.”
Alliah Iran, another performer from the Pangi Congregation, enthusiastically shared, “All our efforts—from practices to the actual performance—have been worthwhile. May we have brought honor and glory to the Lord God. On my part, I will be even more active in the Church and to remain united with the Church Administration.”
“Since its establishment, the district has baptized hundreds of new converts and established new houses of worship for the Kalawit and San Antonio local congregations,” shared Brother Fabella. On behalf of the brethren, he added, “We thank the Lord God for the countless blessings He has poured upon our district.” — With reports from Jan Louise Lobo
