The Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ) claimed it has broken the Guinness World Record for the largest human sentence with 23,235 participants forming the sentence “Proud to be a member of Iglesia ni Cristo” at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila yesterday.
“We broke the record for the largest human sentence with 23,235 participants,” said Bro. Erwin Briones of the INC-Public Information Office.
The event shattered the record set by India in 2016 with 16,550 persons forming the sentence “You Can You Will.”
Briones added that they are also attempting to break four more Guinness World Records – the largest photo mosaic, the largest charity walk in a single venue, most nationalities in a charity walk, and largest charity walk in multiple venues yesterday.
The human sentence formation was conducted in line with the INC’s “Worldwide Walk to Fight Poverty” in which they travelled 1.6 kilometers from the Cultural Center of the Philippines complex in Pasay City to Roxas Boulevard in Manila yesterday.
Participants, upon finishing the event, were directed to drop their wrist bands located at the end of the finish line. The number of wrist bands would indicate the total number of people who participated in the event. (PNA and Leslie Ann G. Aquino)
