  • The Interface Between Religion and Politics in the Philippines Based on Data from Recent Philippine Elections
    International Journal of Interreligious and Intercultural Studies (IJIIS) ISSN: 2654-2706, Volume 2, Number 2, October 2019 THE INTERFACE BETWEEN RELIGION AND POLITICS IN THE PHILIPPINES BASED ON DATA FROM RECENT PHILIPPINE ELECTIONS Nestor T. Castro University of the Philippines Diliman, Philippine <[email protected]> Abstract The Philippines held its national elections last May 2019. During the election campaign, several religious groups organized electoral slates or supported particular political candidates. Among these groups were the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) with its Alagad Party, the Jesus is Lord (JIL) Movement with its CIBAC Party, the El Shaddai with its Buhay Party, and the Kingdom of Jesus Christ which supported all of the candidates backed by the Duterte government. On the other hand, the dominant Roman Catholic Church did not support any political party or candidate as a bloc but emphasized the need for the electorate to use their conscience and vote wisely. Some Roman Catholic priests, however, openly supported the opposition Otso Diretso slate for the Senate. This paper looks at the interesting link between religion and politics in the Philippines, especially in its recent political history, i.e. from 1986 up to the present. In particular, this paper will attempt to answer the following questions: What role do the various religious groups in the Philippines play in the field of political arena? Do Filipinos vote based on their religious affiliation? Key words: elections, politics, religion The Country Setting each country in the region, including the Southeast Asia is one of the Philippines. most culturally diverse regions in the According to Ethnologue (2018), world.

  • Marshall Islands 2020 International Religious Freedom Report
    MARSHALL ISLANDS 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution provides protections for religious freedom with “reasonable restrictions” to ensure public order and the rights of other individuals. The constitution provides for the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and belief and to the free exercise of religion. Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community reported disparaging remarks on social media sites and occasional harassing phone calls. They said that some members of the general community seemed to have a general fear of their mosque. Protestant parishioners again reported feeling pressured to give substantial amounts of income to their church or face severe penalties from church leaders, including excommunication, if donation quotas were not met. U.S. embassy officials met with the Foreign Minister to affirm the importance of religious freedom and to discuss how interfaith dialogue could promote religious freedom. Embassy officials also met with officials from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, the Assemblies of God, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Church of Jesus Christ), the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and the United Church of Christ. Section I. Religious Demography The U.S. government estimates the total population at 78,000 (midyear 2020 estimate). The Pew Foundation reported in 2010 that the population was more than 97 percent Christian. Major religious groups, according to the most recent census that covered religious affiliation (1999), include the United Church of Christ (formerly Congregational), with 54.8 percent of the population; the Assemblies of God, 25.8 percent; the Roman Catholic Church, 8.4 percent; Bukot nan Jesus (also known as Assembly of God Part Two), 2.8 percent; and the Church of Jesus Christ, 2.1 percent.

  • Christian Megachurches and Politics in the Philippines
    ISSUE: 2020 No. 62 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 15 June 2020 Christian Megachurches and Politics in the Philippines John Choo, Evelyn Tan and Daniel P.S. Goh* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Non-Catholic megachurches in the Philippines have been expanding their political influence by engaging political elites, galvanizing the grassroots, and ‘ministering to the middle’. • Megachurches engage elites through electoral endorsements and the fielding of church leaders for political office. This allows church agendas to be pushed as national policy. • Megachurches galvanise grassroots by sending their members out on the streets for political causes. Objectives tend to be narrow and urgent, and relative success depends on the manoeuvres of politicians. • Finally, megachurches adopt the indirect strategy of ‘ministering to the middle’. Acting through intermediaries both within and outside of government, churches diffuse their agendas through the bureaucracy and civil society. • A brief comparison with Indonesia is made in this article. The authors posit that Indonesian churches will utilise the third strategy in their interactions with society at large in the near future. *John Choo and Evelyn Tan are Research Officers at the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. Daniel P.S. Goh is Associate Professor of Sociology at the National University of Singapore. The findings in this paper are from the research project on “Christianity in Southeast Asia: Comparative Growth, Politics and Networks in Urban Centres” funded by the Ministry of Education’s Social Science Research Thematic Grant. 1 ISSUE: 2020 No. 62 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION The intertwining of religion and polity has a long history in Southeast Asia.

  • The Iglesia Ni Cristo and Evangelical Christianity
    JAM 3/1 (2001), pp. 101-119. THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO AND EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANITY Ann C. Harper∗ The Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) is a significant element today in the religious mosaic of the Philippines. Boasting several million members1 in a country of over 70 million, it has seen remarkable growth since its humble beginnings in 1914.2 While it considers itself the “true” church, it has several distinct teachings which place it outside the realm of traditional Evangelical Christianity. In brief summary, those teachings include a non- Trinitarian view of God3 which includes an Arian understanding of Christ as a created being; an understanding of salvation which is dependent on church membership, baptism and works; and a distinctive teaching on the role of its founder, Felix Manalo, as the “angel from the East” (mentioned in Revelation 7) sent by God in this dispensation of time to bring the final message. Other characteristics which set this church at odds with ∗ Anne C.

    Philippines Page 1 of 4 Philippines International Religious Freedom Report 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respected this right in practice. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom during the period covered by this report, and government policy continued to contribute to the generally free practice of religion. The armed insurgent Muslim group Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) continued to seek greater autonomy. At the end of the period covered by this report, the Government and the MILF maintained a cease-fire and continued their peace dialogue, brokered by the Government of Malaysia. An eventual settlement could include special recognition of Islamic education and expanded recognition of Islamic law, among other provisions sought by some Muslims. The generally amicable relationship among religions in society contributed to religious freedom; however, there is some ethnic, religious, and cultural discrimination against Muslims by Christians. This, combined with economic disparities, contributed to persistent conflict in certain provinces. The U.S. embassy discusses religious freedom issues with the Government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. The embassy actively encouraged the peace process between the Government and MILF, while the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) provided some technical assistance. Section I. Religious Demography The country has an area of 115,831 square miles, and its population is approximately eighty-five million. Roman Catholics, the largest religious group, were estimated to comprise 80 to 85 percent of the total population. El Shaddai, a local charismatic lay movement affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, was headquartered in Manila and claims a domestic membership of six million.

REED The Iglesia ni Cristo, 1914-2000 From Obscure Philippine Faith to Global Belief System Rising in the Far East [the Philippines] in 1914, spreading to the Far West [the Americas and Europe] and rapidly gaining foothold in many parts of the world, the Church of Christ (Iglesia ni Cristo) is viewed by nonmembers as shrouded in controversy and clouded in mystery. [...] The dynamic leadership of Brother Felix Y. Manalo, God's Last Messenger in these last days, is one of the factors that has contributed much to the rapid growth and expansion of this Church. [...When he] died in 1963, not a few [critics] expected the Church to crumble. They were soon bitterly disappointed, [...for] under the stewardship of his son, Brother Erano G. Manalo, the Church continues to grow by leaps and bounds. (Bienvenido Santiago 1986:39.) On July 27,1968, the 54th year of the Iglesia ni Cristo in the Far East, Brother Erano G. Manalo crossed the Pacific Ocean to establish the Church's first two congrega- tions in the Far West, one in Ewa Beach on the island of Oahu, Hawaii and the other in San Francisco, California. [...Soon] the Church spread to the various metropolitan areas of the [North] American continent, to the ancient and historic cities of Europe and the Middle East, to the Pacific Rim regions of Asia, and [to Australia...] At present, there are more than 400 established locales and committee prayer groups scattered in more than 65 countries and territories around the world.
