Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. expressed his gratitude to the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) community after receiving their endorsement for his re-election bid.
"Maraming salamat po kay Kapatid na Eduardo Manalo at buong Iglesia Ni Cristo sa inyong patuloy na tiwala sa akin, tungo sa inyong naging kapasyahan na ako po'y muli ninyong suportahan sa ating pagpapatuloy manilbihan sa bayan," said Revilla in a Facebook post on Thursday.
"Hindi ko po sasayangin ang inyong suporta at paniniwala sa akin," he added.
Revilla first received endorsement from the INC during the 2019 midterm elections.
As of this writing, INC has not publicly released a complete list of its endorsed senatorial candidates for the 2025 midterm elections.
The INC, established in 1914 by Felix Manalo, is known for its strict organizational unity, including in political matters. Members are expected to follow the church’s tradition of bloc voting, where they cast their votes based on the official endorsements made by their leaders.
Given its sizeable nationwide membership, the INC’s political endorsements are often seen as a significant factor, particularly in national elections.
