MANILA, Philippines—Politically influential Iglesia ni Cristo said Thursday it had started building one of the world’s biggest indoor arenas with...
Do Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) TV preachers realize that they humiliate and insult Catholics with their full-blast demolition job, by interpreting and inferring “falsehoods” of many principal Catholic beliefs and practices? (This is done without the full benefit of explanations and clarifications by a competent Catholic authority present).
Leading South Korean construction company Hanwha Engineering and Construction (Hanwha E&C) said that it has completed building the Iglesia ni Cristo-owned Philippine Arena, which is said to be “the world’s biggest domed performance hall.”
It's so easy to get to the Philippine Arena. Though its location, Bocaue, Bulacan, sounds far away, it actually took us less than 30 minutes to reach via the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) from Quezon City. Built from funds of the congregation of the Iglesia ni Cristo and situated in a 140-hectare tourism zone called Ciudad de Victoria, the Philippine Arena has its own exit gate from NLEx, right after the Marilao exit.
The colossal, 55,000-capacity Philippine Arena will have its first concert on Dec. 31 featuring American R&B/hip-hop artist Chris Brown. This was supposed to be a grand New Year’s Eve party that would have paired him with another American, a female singer-songwriter also known for her dancing skills—but the deal did not push through.
It wouldn’t hurt for music fans with nowhere to go on New Year’s Eve to check out the two-night events happening on Dec. 30 and 31 at Ciudad de Victoria, described as “a 140-hectare tourism enterprise zone in the towns of Bocaue and Sta. Maria in Bulacan”—where sits the Philippine Arena and, beside it, the Philippine Sports Stadium.
I didn’t think I’d ever have any misgivings with democracy.
The Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) is hoping to win for the Philippines three new world records as the country welcomes the New Year, a church official said on Sunday.
