Members of the Filtration Congregation in the Ecclesiastical District of Zambales South commemorated the 41st anniversary of their congregation with, among others, a musical concert at the Harbor Point Ayala Malls Cinemas, Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Zambales, Philippines, on March 29, 2026.

District supervising minister Brother Rio G. Constantino graced the celebration with his presence, together with assistant district supervising minister Brother Felix Realizan.

“Marking their four decades and a year of service, the brethren here were filled with joy and excitement,” Brother Realizan expressed in an interview. “We’re deeply thankful to the Church Administration for approving activities like this that strengthen us.”

Choral groups composed of Church officers and members from the congregation rendered INC original music. These included Ikaw Na Aking Hinawakan (You Whom I Uphold), Salamat Po Ama, Sa Pamamahala (Thank You, Father, For The Church Administration), and Awit Ng Anak (A Child’s Song To Parents). Specifically, the Children’s Worship Service members sang Kahit Ako Ay Bata (“Even I’m A Child”), and the deacons and deaconesses Ang Tagumpay Ng Iglesia Ni Cristo (The Church Of Christ’s Victory).

“As a performer, this is such a wonderful experience,” said choir member Jan Russell Cañero. “Even though it’s physically tiring preparing for it beforehand, but today I’m full of strength and faith as I’m giving glory and thanks to God for granting me this opportunity.”

Another choir member Nelie Ciocon enthused, “I’m so happy because this is the first time that I’ve joined such a large activity. I’m thankful because through this I know that the Father is glorified.”

Regarding the spiritual significance of the celebration, resident minister Brother Michael Hipolito said: “Before this celebration, the brethren held devotional prayers together, to ask for success, being dedicated to honor the Lord God. Indeed, gatherings like this not only bring joy to the brethren but also fortified their faith.” — With assistance from District Multimedia
