‘Iglesia ni Cristo members are not robots but persons — which we will only understand if we meet them in the flesh’

In my 13 years at Rappler, I have often heard a similar piece of advice from our executive editor, Glenda Gloria, reminding us to keep a healthy amount of self-doubt. No journalist can be too sure about himself or herself. Not only is it okay to be afraid; it is, at times, necessary to be afraid. “We went here out of free will, so that we can unite ourselves behind our leader to push for peace in the world,” a female member said.
For people like myself who do not belong to the INC, it is easy to think of them as a brainwashed bunch of people who went to the rally against their will. If we adopt this mindset, then the 1.58 million people at the INC rally are nothing more than pawns used by their leaders for political objectives.
