Rising Tigers Magazine closes 2025 with a landmark edition — a special issue featuring Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC), on its cover. More than a feature, the publication positions this moment as a national recognition of his profound influence, transformative leadership, and far-reaching contributions to both the Church and the country.
A Leader Who Shapes Communities and Nations
Since assuming leadership of INC in 2009, Brother Eduardo V. Manalo has been at the helm of a dynamic era marked by growth, modernization, and strengthened community engagement. The December 2025 issue highlights:
- Humanitarian missions and outreach programs that continue to serve Filipinos and communities abroad through INC’s Lingap and Aid to Humanity projects.
- Expansion and construction of worship buildings that symbolize unity, faith, and the global reach of the Church.
- Efforts in community building, including educational, livelihood, and socio-civic initiatives that uplift lives beyond religious lines.
Rising Tigers frames Brother Eduardo not just as a spiritual shepherd but as a nation-builder — a leader whose vision extends well beyond ecclesiastical responsibilities. His work, the magazine notes, has contributed to strengthening Filipino communities, fostering resilience, and promoting unity in an increasingly complex world.
