On October 30, 2026, a day before the birthday of Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, the Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ), a concert dubbed “FYM 140” was held at the 55,000-seater Philippine Arena at the Ciudad de Victoria, Bocaue, Bulacan.

Brother Eduardo Manalo, together with his wife, Sister Lynn, and family, graced the event with his presence, much to the delight of everyone in attendance.

The said musical event was held to commemorate the 140th birth anniversary of Brother Felix Y. Manalo and the 112th anniversary of the establishment of the Church Of Christ in the Philippines. This was also in commemoration of the 17th year of the dynamic leadership of Brother Eduardo Manalo as the Executive Minister of the Church.

Tens of thousands of brethren from over 20 ecclesiastical districts in Metro Manila, Bulacan, Tarlac, Pampanga, and Bataan attended at the main venue, while countless more around the world watched in their homes via the INCTV and Iglesia Ni Cristo Production Company (INCPC) online platforms.

The event commenced with a prayer led by Brother Arnel A. Tumanan, Church Edification Overseer. Afterwards, Brother Angelo Eraño V. Manalo, the Deputy Executive Minister, read Brother Eduardo Manalo’s message, in which he exhorted the brethren to all the more commit themselves to carry on with the sacred work that Brother Felix Manalo, God’s Messenger in these last days, began.

The concert featured INCPC talents rendering INC original songs that reflect the Church members’ faith in biblical teachings regarding God’s sending of His Messenger in these last days and placing a loving and caring Administration in the Church, among others.

Audio-visual presentations were also shown in between song performances, which featured pioneering ministers and members’ experiences that showed their steadfast faith, and the growth and expansion of the Church Of Christ during its 112 years of existence.

The event concluded with a prayer led by Brother Joel V. San Pedro, minister overseeing the International Church Affairs Office.

“I’m happy while performing because I know God will be pleased,” enthused Manna Reignh Clairvouz Trinidad, member of the INC Tabernacle Children’s Choir. “Through this event, I all the more understand that the work of God’s Messenger should continue in us,” she added.

“I’m overwhelmed with gladness being able to perform in this event. It is also a great blessing to see the Executive Minister in person once again,” enthused Dane Ephraim Gatela, member of the INC Junior Tabernacle Choir. “By this kind of activity, the importance of God’s Messenger and the Church Administration was all the more etched in my mind. The words of God they taught are my guiding light in life,” he further said.

“Activities like this made me even more firm in the faith and zealous in my services to God,” said Kim Chang, Christian Brotherhood International (CBI) officer from CAMANAVA District. “To safeguard my election that I received from God’s sending of His Messenger in these last days, I will never conform to the ungodly things of this world, and I will always renew my life,” she added.

“From the time of Brother Felix Manalo and until now during the administration of Brother Eduardo Manalo, the biblical teachings that the Church upheld remain unchanged. And because God continues to fulfill His promises to His Messenger and to the Church Of Christ in these last days, the Church’s works continue expanding in different countries in the world,” said Ruby Lucero, deaconess from Happy Valley Congregation, Pampanga West District. — With photos from Ralph Vincent Mateo
