Veteran actress Jaclyn Jose defended Iglesia ni Cristo’s endorsement of certain politicians for the upcoming 2022 elections.
In an Instagram post, Jaclyn said she is hurt by what she is hearing about it.
“I just want to defend our vote, watching a channel na parang ‘di maganda sinasabi sa INC. Na para bang nasa 10 commandments na at foul na talaga. Pasensya na po. Nasasaktan lang po,” Jaclyn said.
“Ganoon po talaga kami. Sobra na po. Sana wala naman pong sakitan ng religion,” she added.
INC recently announced their support for former Sen. Bongbong Marcos and Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte.

They also endorsed the candidacy of senatoriables Jojo Binay, Alan Peter Cayetano, JV Ejercito, Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, Francis Escudero, Jinggoy Estrada, Sherwin Gatchalian, Loren Legarda, Robin Padilla, Joel Villanueva, Mark Villar, and Migz Zubiri.
Jaclyn said that while she is not in the position to explain, she hopes that other people will respect INC’s decision.
“Wala po ako sa posisyon magsalita. May leader po kami na makakapagpaliwanag. Ganun po talaga kami mga miembro, nagkakaisa. Wala na po kayo magagawa,” Jaclyn said.
“Ang respeto namin ay nasa aming pagkakaisa bilang Iglesia. Sorry po. May malalim po kami pag-uunawa ukol sa mga bagay na ito. Salamat po.”
She also commented that she will respect whoever wins the elections.
“Nagsasalita po bilang Iglesia ni Cristo member. ‘Wag masamain. Iba po ang utang ko at pasasalamat bilang artista… God bless us all,” Jaclyn added. “Safe halalan kung sino manalo respect po ang aasahan n’yo sa akin.”
In another post she also expressed support for Gen. Guillermo Eleazar who’s running for the senate.
