MANILA, Philippines – The Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) yesterday called for multi-sectoral, cross-religious effort to combat poverty in the country after recent concerns were raised on the growing gap between the rich and the poor.

In a statement sent to The STAR, INC general auditor Glicerio Santos Jr. said cooperation among religious groups is needed to effectively address poverty, which he branded as “public enemy number one.”

“Poverty is an enemy that we should all, regardless of political and religious affiliations, wage an unrelenting war against. We can better combat poverty if we work and pool our resources together,” he said.
