Iglesia ni Cristo bloc vote violates Philippine election code

On the legal aspect of whether a church practices unity in a political exercise is unwarranted, we have to check the Omnibus Election Code of the Philippines and it states: Sec. 261. Prohibited Acts. - The following shall be guilty of an election offense:

(d) Coercion of subordinates. -

(1) Any public officer, or any officer of any public or private corporation or association,

or any head, superior, or administrator of any religious organization, or any employer or land-owner who coerces or intimidates or compels, or in any manner influence, directly or indirectly, any of his subordinates or members or parishioners or employees or house helpers, tenants, overseers, farm helpers, tillers, or lease holders to aid, campaign or vote for or against any candidate or any aspirant for the nomination or selection of candidates.
(Batas Pambansa Bilang 881, Omnibus Election Code of the Philippines , Article XXII, Election Offenses)

Based on the provisions of law, the act of the IGLESIA NI CRISTO is considered a prohibited act when it endorses a political candidate and compels its members to vote for. Hence, the practice of the IGLESIA NI CRISTO every election day is contrary to law and Manalo is virtually breaking the law.
