Iglesia ni Cristo (INC)

Thanks for the photo day trips.

Very intriguing. The back side would have made a very interesting front also. Along with San Pablo; San Fernando, Calamba, Baguio, and Cavite make up my top 5 favorites among the Viola-designed "kapilyas" of that era.

I would have included Cabanatuan but I personally liked it better when it had those soaring towers...

Same here..old kapilyas should have been preserved like that one of Syquia.If the purpose is to make it bigger,then facade features should still be the same,Just a personal view though...Nevertheless New Syquia Chapel is still as beautiful and grand as the old...

I remember when I was a kid, we will pass by Cabanatuan city going to San Jose City and you can totally see the towers from far away, even at a young age it made me proud seeing those towers. They had to be taken down after the 1990 earthquake to which the epicenter was in Cabanatuan city I think. The towers are now similar to the towers of Capas, Tarlac kapilya.

My high school textbook contained a lesson on using local color for writing. A sample essay described a writer's impressions on Cabanatuan and the first paragraph had a sentence that went something like, "The Iglesia ni Kristo temple is a vision in white..."

Check out this wedding photographer's site for a glimpse of the interior.

Locale of Ibayo (??) im basing it on the spires..but one distinctive characteristic if I would remember, is that the roof of the choir loft is angled, but is covered by the trees in the video.

Great video though, I think we made a bit of a buzz in Korea as Hanwha is based there, they featured the different religious buildings in asia I noticed, usually these kind of videos would feature catholic churches when its about the Philippines.

[icarusrising]

Especially if the videos were made by Filipinos.

The chapel shot seems incidental but it can't be Ibayo. There's no lawn like that near that chapel so it must be somewhere in the suburb at least. Interestingly, there were a lot of scenes that were shot from the Philippines.

Yeah prolly not, I just realized that there are two rear spires, which is lacking with Ibayo. Yep, all tourism videos made in the Philippines would not even feature a spire of any INC building and yet travel books authored by foreigners would feature a lot of INC kapilyas in their pages.

yeah i agree. Most likely the Catholic and Muslim temples are always featured and ignore others.

Hope you got some travel books that featured a lot of INC kapilyas.

Someone posted a picture in a train in singapore featuring different landmarks of different Asian countries and guess what the Philippines is represented by a kapilya just basing from its Structure

[captainpinoy]

IMHO modern houses of worship of INC are really unique from different religion temples in the world . One thing you as a member will be proud of that you belong there. I have never seen such architectural uniqueness via temple designs

Well, the INC is a minority and if they want to represent "Filipino", they probably want to use structures associated with what's traditional. But if you're travelling by air, the INC houses of worship are undeniably among the most conspicuous. As INC houses of worship are built incessantly, the Philippine urban and rural landscapes will be defined more and more by those bristling spires.
