I did not plan to blog about anything tonight. I was actually about to hit my bed since I promised myself
last night not stay up so late hahaha but as I browsed through the astonishing
pictures and amazing news about something; and when I posted a status on facebook about that something, I decided to make a blog nalang insted and .. voila!.. Here I am typing a blog entry about that "something". Lels
That "something" I was talking about is no other than the inauguration of the newest and biggest dome indoor arena in the planet! ----the Philippine Arena!!

It has been days since I felt this excitement
within me! I can’t believe that INC’s (Iglesia ni Cristo) centennial is only
five (5) days away from now! After all the wait, the anticipation.. finally,
the day is coming really really soon!
My original plan was to blog about “What makes me so
excited this week!”, featuring the Centennial Celebration’s Philippine Arena on thursday but I guess things have escalated too quickly tonight. Hahaha. I just can’t contain it!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah so exciteeeeed!
By the way, for those who have no idea about the arena, here's a quick fact:
The Philippine Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena at Ciudad de Victoria, a 75-hectare tourism enterprise zone in Bocaue and Santa Maria, Bulacan, Philippines. With a capacity of up to 55,000, it is the world's largest indoor arena. The centerpiece of the many centennial projects of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) for their grand celebration on July 27, 2014. The legal owner of the arena is the INC's educational institution, New Era University.

(All the photos are not mine since I wasn't able to attend the Philippine Arena's Inauguration today, hehe. So credits to all the photo owners especially eagle news!)
I am presenting to you, the World's Biggerst Dome Indoor Arena!
Gaaaah, isn't it pretty? I'm feeling goosebumps as I'm typing this now. huhu
It's very rewarding to think that all the hard works and determination of the members of the church have paid off.
President
Aquino gave his speech during the inauguration and said that "this was a proud moment for the Philippines and expressed
admiration for the INC which he said seriously takes care of its flock." Why that's very touching :")
The President of the Philippines and the Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ)
*President Noynoy Aquino and Brother Eduardo Manalo*
"An intense crowd shot from the visitors inside of the Philippine Arena!"
I wish I was there though. Teehee
Here's a trivia for everyone! (Kindly read the description of the photo above)
And did you know? The size of MOA (Mall Of Asia) is only one-fourth of Philippine Arena's size!
Now that's what I call "BIG"
This picture reminds me of the UN Headquarters in New York and I just can't wait to take a selfie here! Hahaha.
Another Trivia:
INC's churches is not solely in the Philippines nor for the Filipinos. The church has been established all around the globe. The Church is for everybody who wishes to join regardless of age, ethnicity or class :)
Who would've thought that a third world country
could own the world's biggest indoor arena in the world? That's the power of
faith and unity, truly, "We can do all things through Christ who
strengthens us".
This is not to lift the chair or brag about all the achievements of the church.. but I can't help but admire the members of the INC's unity in achieving goals for the glory of God. I have never been in an organization so driven and confident with their God-given vision.
It is so heartwarming to be part of this church and take part of its activities! This Arena is for the honor of the Philippines, for the benefit of the Filipino people, and most of all for the glory of God.
To end this,"unplanned" blog post, I would like to say that I am a Proud Filipino and a Proud Member of Iglesia ni Cristo and whatever the world may say, never will I regret the day that I have come to the knowledge of truth and decided to become a member of the true church of Christ. :)
Again, Congratulations to our newest edifice as another strong symbol of a unified body of Christ!
See you all on the CENTENNIAL! :)
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
