Ang Iglesia ni Cristo
Ang Iglesia ni Cristo is the first religious television program produced by the international Christian religious organization Iglesia ni Cristo and its currently broadcast by INC TV and NET25. The program premiered on February 13, 1983 on MBS and RPN, along with City 2 Television from the same year until September 6, 1986. One of its first panelists of the program was Bro. Eduardo V. Manalo which he's now a current executive minister of the church. It later aired on ABS-CBN and IBC from 1990 to 2003. When NET25 was launched, most of its INC programs began to air on the said network.
Ang Iglesia ni Cristo was also aired when Iglesia ni Cristo established its own TV network, GEM TV in 2005 and it later replaced by INC TV in October 2012.
In 1992, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board gave an X rating to the church's television program of the same name, Ang Iglesia ni Cristo, for "criticizing different religions, based on their own interpretation of the Bible." The MTRCB also recommended for the program to "delve on explaining their own faith and beliefs and avoid attacks on other faith." Banking on the principle of freedom of religion, the INC appealed the case to the Court of Appeals in 1995, which affirmed the MTRCB's actions, and to the Supreme Court in 1996, which reversed the appellate court's decision. The principle applied in this particular case was also cited in a 2005 case between the MTRCB and Filipino media company ABS-CBN.
