Sara lauds INC leaders for suspending church service

MAYOR Sara Duterte commended the move of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) to suspend religious activities in the city.

On March 16, the city government issued a warning against the INC after receiving reports that the congregation is violating the mass gathering protocol, as part of the community quarantine order.

For instance, the city mayor bared that she received reports that the religious organization is still continuing its regular services.
