Droves of INC followers have began trooping to EDSA in Mandaluyong and Ortigas area in Pasig City Friday late afternoon on the orders of their religious leaders.
 
On Thursday,  hundreds of INC members went and held a vigil in front of the Department of Justice (DOJ) building on Padre Faura Street in Manila to protest alleged bias of Justice Secretary Leila de Lima on the investigation into the complaint of an expelled INC official against the INC council members.
