THE Iglesia Ni Cristo will once again hold a big “Lingap-Pamamahayag” or “Aid to Humanity” activity on Friday, April 29, in Moriones, Tondo, Manila.
In this activity, the INC will be giving out used clothes, shoes, and also hold a big medical and dental check-up for the Tondo residents and those coming from different parts of Metro Manila.
Four Guinness record attempts will be done on that day.
The activity will be held in multiple sites in Tondo namely at the Filinvest Compound , at the Tondo Sports Complex, at the Isabelo delos Reyes Elementary School, and along Morga and Chacon streets in Tondo, Manila.
The activities are expected to last the whole day.
The medical and dental check-up will start in the morning, at about 8 a.m. This will also include an ultrasound and medical risk assessment.
The distribution of clothes and shoes will also start in the morning.
All these activities are in line with the INC’s programs to fight poverty and to help those in need. These are done in cooperation with the Felix Y. Manalo foundation.
It was in Tondo Manila that the INC first broke three Guinness world records in a similar “Aid for Humanity” or Lingap sa Pamamahayag event on July 7, 2012. INC then set new world records for largest dental health check, the biggest number of blood pressure (BP) readings taken in eight hours and for the most numerous blood glucose level (BGL) tests, also conducted in eight hours.
