MANILA, Philippines – The Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) has once again set new world records, this time for its outreach and charity event in Tondo, Manila last Friday.

The INC announced yesterday that its Lingap sa Mamamayan (Aid to Humanity) project has earned four Guinness world records.

In the event, the church gave away 200,000 goodie bags, 17,526 pairs of shoes and 241,200 pieces of used clothing.

Guinness representatives also certified the event as the most number of medical risk assessments conducted, setting a new mark of 4,784 in eight hours.

The church also broke its own world record for most ultrasound examinations with the new figure at 7,000, also in eight hours. 

The INC added that it was the first time an organization was able to set four records in a single day.

In 2012, the INC set new records for largest dental health check, the biggest number of blood pressure readings taken in eight hours and for the most numerous blood glucose level tests in eight hours during a similar event.
