The Ecclesiastical District of Bongabong, Oriental Mindoro, in the Philippines, held three activities all on June 27, 2026 in commemoration of its 10th anniversary.

Human monogram

Led by the district supervising minister, Brother Rodel Mañebog, more than 3,000 brethren gathered at the oval field of Mindoro State University–Bongabong Campus to form a human monogram. Together, they made a circular formation representing the celebration’s logo, with the words “IGLESIA NI CRISTO DISTRITO NG BONGABONG ORIENTAL MINDORO IKA 10 ANIBERSARYO,” as could be seen from an aerial view.

Family Fun Day, Trade Fair

After the human monogram exhibition, the brethren proceeded to the MSU gymnasium to participate in the Family Fun Day. It commenced with a prayer led by Brother Kenneth Delos Santos, district music team adviser. This was followed by the opening remarks delivered by Brother Bryan Sanico, district Christian Family Organizations overseer.

Then, the attendees participated in interactive games such as Earth Ball Challenge, Sack Race, In and Out Hula Hoop, and Tug of War. There were also interactive booths such as Dart Balloon, Cup Knockdown, and photo booth. The activity concluded with a prayer led by Brother Danny Tang, a ministerial worker assigned at Hagan Congregation.

Meanwhile, the Trade Fair likewise held at the same venue served as an avenue for participants to promote their microbusinesses—such as Sunday dresses, barong and saya, fashion boutiques, slippers, and auto supplies—while enhancing the love and bond of brotherhood with their fellow Church members.

“We thank our Executive Minister for these kinds of activities, such as the Trade Fair. Through this activity, we are able to promote our products,” said Mariel Roa, organist and Sunday dress business owner from Sagana Congregation.
