Angelo was reportedly ordained minister at the age of 20 or thereabouts. “Ka Eduardo” and his wife Lynn have 3 children – Dorothy Kristine, the eldest who is also a lawyer, and who married Theoben Orosa, likewise a lawyer who works with the INC’s legal department Gemma Minna who married Antonio “Jojo” de Guzman and the youngest and only son, Angelo, who is said to be in his mid-20s. (You even have a term, Brother Bien, and you tell me we cannot do anything because he is the apple of the eye of our leader, and anything we say will fall on deaf ears. It was Santiago who was addressed by Isaias Samson, former editor in chief of Pasugo, INC’s official publication, when he said: “ Meron ka pa ngang termino, Kapatid na Bien, na sinasabi mo sa akin, wala tayong magagawa sapagka’t siya ang apple of the eye ngayon ng namamahala, kaya kahit anong sabihin natin ay hindi pakikinggan. Mother and son said they feared for their lives, while Angel spoke of corruption in the church and appealed to his elder brother to talk to them, especially their mother.Įduardo is married to Lynn whose father Ricardo Ventura is said to be a very close friend of Iglesia General Evangelist and spokesman Bienvenido Santiago. In a surprise turn of events, the current INC leader Eduardo expelled his very own mother and younger brother from the church, with Iglesia representatives denying the claims made by the two in the YouTube video. It is unclear why he adopted his mother’s surname instead of his father’s, Ysagun. “Ka Erdy” and “Ka Tenny” have 6 children, the eldest being Eduardo, followed by Angel whose formal name was taken from his grandfather, Felix Y Manalo. Felix Ysagun Manalo was known to be the founder of the Iglesia and was its very first executive minister or “Tagapamahalang Pangkalahatan”.
Tenny, already in her late 70s, is the wife of Eraño “Erdy” Manalo, the second Iglesia executive minister, who passed away in 2009 at the age of 84.Įraño or Erdy passed on leadership of the church to his eldest son, Eduardo, already in his 60s. For starters, we will share what we know and have verified.Īngel, who appeared in the video, is the younger brother of Eduardo Manalo, the present and third executive minister of INC. If you have information to share, we can add them to this story. We tried to put together information about who’s who in the family for readers to better make sense of relationships, connections and dynamics. It mirrored a badly fractured church, if not a divided family. Just days before celebrating its 101st founding anniversary, the INC made headlines after Felix Nathaniel “Angel” Manalo and his mother Cristina “Tenny” Manalo appealed for help in a YouTube video, saying their lives are in danger. It’s the family that’s supposed to hold sway over this influential, century-old church that recently has been wracked by controversy. One answer and they left? Yah right ???.MANILA, Philippines – The recent crisis surrounding the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) has thrust the Manalo family into the limelight. The part where different preachers of faith asked him questions and left after being “embarrassed” by fym’s answer seemed a little too farfetched. Nor did they show him preaching about it. The prophecy about him being the angel from revelation was not shown. Fym stepping down as executive minister to divert japanese attention? Where is his faith in god? Why go to america to learn about other religions’ faith? Did god not give him the necessary wisdom and knowledge to defend the “pristine gospel” and had to learn more from the “heathens?” But we all know he didn’t attend the school, but was there for personal reasons. Why was fym kneeling while having heathens place their hands on his shoulder, why was he not baptized inside the one true church when their doctrine is that baptism can only be done in the one true church.
The movie left more questions than answers. The district minister expected the theatre to be full, and he was disappointed when he learned that not all members attended. The movie has so much plot holes! They asked the movie to be showed in the US and it bombed ?.
