Several political figures have expressed their support for the ongoing "National Rally for Peace" organized by the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) on Monday, January 13.
One of the supporters who attended the rally was Senator Robin Padilla, who praised the organizational efforts of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) members.
"Ito po ang kaugalian nating mga Pilipino na muli po nating ibandera sa buong bansa na hindi po dapat tayo magulo, dapat po organisado tayo para po magkaroon tayo ng pag-unlad," Padilla stated.
"Hanggat hindi po natin nakukuha 'yung ganitong katangian, mahihirapan po tayo," he added.
He further stated that despite being a Muslim with different beliefs, he still admires the way the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) organizes their events, noting that there is no chaos, "everyone is happy, and all are simply paying tribute to the Lord".

Meanwhile, former Manila Mayor Isko Moreno also attended the rally, urging leaders to prioritize addressing the issues faced by the people and the nation.
He further emphasized the importance of dedicating time to resolving these challenges rather than engaging in conflicts.
"Doon na lang tayo mamuhunan bilang pamahalaan kung paano natin maitataas ang antas ng pamumuhay ng tao at tyaka magkaroon ng kapanatagan sa pamumuhay dito sa ating bansa," he added.
