Veteran journalist Anthony Taberna, who is a member of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), shared his sentimeent about the ongoing controversy surrounding the powerful and influential organization.
The controversy started after some members of the founding Manalo family revealed in a YouTube video that their lives are in danger and some INC ministers have been allegedly abducted. There were also reports on mass kidnapping of ministers to censure knowledge of corruption. However, the INC had already denied these allegations and also rejected claims of corruption.

On the news anchor’s Instagram account, he first warns the public about his alleged Facebook account which posts something about the issue. He announced that it is a “bogus” account:
“Mga kapatid, kapamilya, kapuso at kabarkada… Nabalitaan ko na may kumakalat na diumano’y facebook account ko na may naka-post tungkol sa Iglesia. Nais ko pong ipaalam sa lahat na ito lamang ang opisyal na facebook fan page ko at ang isa naman na personal FB account ko ay may profile photo naming mag-asawa. Kung ano po ang post ko sa aking instagram account na @iamtunying28 ay kasabay na naka-post sa aking personal FB account kaya’t hindi po kayo dapat maligaw.”
The broadcast journalist also took to Instagram his sentiments on the said issue. He encouraged his co-church members to be strong despite the obstacles their church is going through. He also proclaimed that his faith will never waver.
“Sa mga KAPATID, manatili po tayong matatag sa Pananampalataya sa gitna ng hindi pangkaraniwang pagsubok na pinagdadaanan ng minamahal nating Iglesia. Nagkakaintindihan po tayo rito. At sa mga hindi naman miyembro ng Iglesia, hindi ko po inaasahan na maiintindihan ninyo kung bakit kami matatag sa aming paninindigan at pananampalataya. Ang Panginoong Diyos ang gagawa at lulunas kung anomang kapighatian na mayroon kami. Maraming salamat po. #foreverINC #happy101stAnniversary @rosseltaberna”
The INC celebrated its 101st founding anniversary on Monday (July 27, 2015), at the Philippine Arena and Philippine Sports Stadium in Bocaue, Bulacan.
