The Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) Unity Games kick off in a 3k fun run in Quirino Grandstand, Manila tomorrow at 6:00AM.  The 2011 Unity Games is the first multi-sport and multi-district event and the largest athletic competition to be hosted for members of the Iglesia ni Cristo.

In this project of the Church’s Executive Minister, Brother Eduardo V. Manalo aimed to bring together members of the Church in a friendly athletic competition. Sports can develop discipline, responsibility, teamwork, and perseverance, the Unity Games seeks even higher: the fostering of the biblical teachings of brotherly love and unity among members of the Church of Christ. 
This affair will be held on May 21 and 28 at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex in Manila, with the athletes coming from the five ecclesiastical districts in Metro Manila, Philippines: Metro Manila North (yellow colored uniforms), Metro Manila South (white colored uniforms), Metro Manila East (green colored uniforms), Metro Manila West (blue colored uniforms) and Metro Manila Central (red colored uniforms).

The event includes badminton, basketball, bowling, chess, table tennis, tennis, track and field, volleyball, and a 3K Fun Run. More than 1000 athletes have already registered and they are set to compete for a total of 261 medals.

The opening ceremonies will begin at the Rizal Stadium on May 21 at 7:00am, with the Parade of Athletes and a special program for everyone’s entertainment. 

With the proliferation of lifestyle diseases like diabetes, heart diseases, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease (a form of brain disease) it is just high time to plan and change to balanced diet, healthy lifestyle and choose the best environment (if possible less pollution) for us.

The INC’s administration values holistic health and wellness of the members such as their physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Be part of this big event, be there early! Remind you to wear your district's color. Support your athletes!

To my dear brethren and to BUKLOD in the district of Metro Manila Central, let us be more united in this kind of activity!
