MANILA, Philippines – Nilinaw ng Iglesia ni Cristo na ang malawakang rally sa Quirino Grandstand at iba pang lugar sa Pilipinas ay hindi political kahit na layon nitong suportahan ang pahayag ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na pumipigil sa impeachment ni Vice President Sara Duterte.
“I understand that some would think this is political but it’s not. As far as we’re concerned, it’s not. It’s something moral, actually,” pahayag ni INC spokesperson Edwil Zabala.
“It’s something that all of us are morally bound to uphold. Magkaroon tayo ng kapayapaan. Magkaroon tayo ng pagkakaisa,” dagdag pa.
Nang tanungin kung nag-eendorso na ng kandidato sa paparating na halalan sa Mayo ang religious group, sinabi nito na, “The Iglesia Ni Cristo has never endorsed anyone.”
“When we unite to vote, kami-kami lang naguusap eh [we only discuss among ourselves]. We don’t really involve those outside the Iglesia Ni Cristo, so it doesn’t really affect anyone,” dagdag pa. RNT/JGC
