ALL ABOUT FELIX Y.

MANALO (4)

The ministers of the Christian Mission honored him on December 25,

1918, as an outstanding evangelist.
The Genius Divinical College of Manila on Avenida, Rizal, a non-
sectarian institution headed by Eugenio Guerero, conferred on Felix
Manalo the degree of Master of Biblo-Science honoris causa on March
28, 1931.[13]
On July 27, 2007, coinciding with the 93rd anniversary of the Iglesia ni
Cristo, the National Historical Institute (NHI) of the Philippines unveiled
a marker on the birthplace of Felix Manalo, declaring the site as a
National Historical Landmark. The marker is located at Barangay
Calzada, Tipas, Taguig, Metro Manila where the ancestral home of
Manalo once stood. The marker sits on a 744-square-meter plaza. In his
dedication speech, Ludovico Badoy, NHI executive director, said,
"Brother Felix Manalo's significant contribution to Philippine Society is
worth recognizing and emulating." He further said, "... the church he
preached [has] changed the lives and faith of many Filipinos. He
deserves the pride and recognition of the people of Taguig." The
responsibility, maintenance, and operation of the landmark was turned
over to the INC.
On the same year, the Philippine government declared July 27 of every
year as "Iglesia ni Cristo Day" to enable millions of INC followers in the
Philippines and in 75 countries around the world to observe the
occasion with fitting solemnity.
On May 10, 2014, coinciding his 128th birth anniversary, the Philippine
Postal Corp. (Philpost) launched the Iglesia ni Cristo Centennial
Commemorative Stamp at the INC Central Office in Diliman, Quezon
City, to mark the 100th anniversary of the church's registration in the
Philippines. The stamp features the INC Central Temple and Felix
Manalo in sepia. At the bottom of the stamp is the INC centennial logo
in color. Philpost issued 1.2 million of the stamps, which is more than
twice the number of stamps they usually issue for a single design. The
stamp, 50 millimeters by 35 mm, is bigger than the ordinary-sized 40
mm by 30 mm stamps.
In some cities and towns in the Philippines, the adjacent street near an
INC locale is renamed F. Manalo to honor Felix Manalo's contributions
in Philippine history.
