Iglesia ni Cristo activity congests Manila traffic

The Iglesia ni Cristo's evangelical medical mission started congesting early morning traffic in parts of Manila Monday.
Radio reports said that before 7 a.m., the Quezon Bridge underpass in Quiapo was no longer passable, while parts of España Boulevard were occupied by the group's buses.
In Pasay City, buses bearing members of the religious group arrived from Las Piñas City, Cavite and Batangas.
Television reports said that the religious group will hold an "evangelical mission" by 9 a.m. and resume its free medical and dental services an hour after that until 7 p.m.
Meanwhile, police arrived in Manila early Monday to secure the venue of a medical mission to be conducted by the Iglesia ni Cristo.

Last week, an INC member threatened to sue Davide for holding a Catholic mass at the Capitol, invoking the provision in the Constitution that no public money or property shall be applied "directly or indirectly, for the use, benefit or support" of any religion or sect.

I first thought "Yup. It's about time somebody pointed that out."

Now, they've paralyzed traffic and business activity with their "evangelical mission". Apparently, what they really want is equal rights to use state resources for their own religious activities.

So this is already trending. even in the US, some states are removing Jesus Christ or the Cross for that matter even it was there for quite a long time...they claim equality on religion.

Folks are always happy to see the rules broken in their favor.

Way blema anang magtapok tapok, mag abiso lang ahead of time... sus kahinumdum ko sa kahasul atong gibuhat sa INC some months back when they held a similar event here in Cebu. Karon, suspended pa jud klase sa Metro Manila.

To think holiday ugma.

They will always in glee if it suits their interests.
Try to contradict them and you will receive a barrage of innuendos.
and they did it as what they say in the name of Jesus Christ, sounds ironic.

Why do they have to do it on Monday? It's a first working and school day of the week and they they know fully well it can create monster traffic and distract people's activities. What is really their hidden agenda? Why they did not utilize big space like the Quirino grandstand, Luneta or other sports center with big spaces so as not to disrupt productivity of government and private employees?
