Congratulations to the Iglesia ni Cristo's 100 year. It was marked by the inauguration of the 55,000 capacity Philippine arena dubbed by foreign media as the largest church in the world.  It can seat 20,000 and max of 55,000 and covers 99,000 square meters  (10 hectares) at Bocaue Bulacan, and they must have spent nearly 10 billion pesos for this, according to the Lady Engineer who was the project manager of the arena.

At the height of its construction it employed more than 30,000 and 12 architects.  The construction employed the latest in technology like braces for the roof frame (no columns) and independent bearing for movement of roof and columns to protect the arena from collapse in case of earthquake

The inauguration was led by the Pres of the Philippines, Benigno S Aquino.

(Ely Soriano must be seething in envy who keeps on saying that we do not need a structure to honor God.  Whosoever is gathered in my name is the church).

The INC who not only wields great political power (politicians, king maker) has taken great steps in rescue, health care, medical mission going beyond the confines of the church and gospel
