As part of its global “Lingap sa Mamamayan “ (Aid to Humanity) program, the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) district in Western Europe has donated 700 packs of personal protective supplies to the Philippine Embassy in Paris to help curb the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic.
Each personal protective pack contained a bottle of hand sanitizer, face masks and a box of vitamin C tablets to be given to consular applicants, most especially to Filipino clients who make up the majority of the Embassy’s constituency

The INC’s Lingap sa Mamayan program aims to assist those in need and affected by calamities and disasters. It is one of INC’s biggest humanitarian programs that started in 1981. Its current program has extended assistance worldwide since October 31, 2020 under the auspices of the Felix Y. Manalo Foundation, a socio-civic arm named after INC’s founder.
