MANILA, Philippines – The Aglipayan Church, a Filipino Christian group known for its activist roots, congratulated the Philippines’ new Roman Catholic cardinal, Kalookan Bishop Pablo Virgilio “Ambo” David. The IFI is a 122-year-old Filipino Christian church that broke away from Roman Catholicism in the early 1900s due to the abuses of Spanish friars and the second-class treatment of Filipino priests. It was labor leader Isabelo delos Reyes of Vigan, Ilocos Sur, who proclaimed the church’s establishment on August 3, 1902. The church’s first Obispo Maximo was Gregorio Aglipay of Batac, Ilocos Norte, a former Roman Catholic priest who was excommunicated in 1899 due to his revolutionary activities.
