There are several christian colleges that teach this truth of
Oneness in the Philippines.The truth of the Oneness is catching on
there and is growing.Churches are sprouting up due to faithfull Oneness
Pinoy and pinay followers of this truth.Pinoy(men) Pinay (Women).Even
where the oldest traditional living people are in the philippines this
truth is being excepted as truth.I hope you dont mind me writing this
since you wrote about the Philippines whitch caught my eye and
understanding.I am married to a Pilipina and understand the culture.I
have never been there but will eventually make it over there.I do have
several friends that are from the country.
The story originated that when the spaniards arived in the
Philippines the tried to conquer the country but didnt have much luck
especially forceing them to adopt there religion(catholic).This is by
force the spaniards but when they left a villiage burned down and
within it there was a box being burned ,not destroyed.The thing is that
within the box was a statue of the virgin Mary.Out of being
superstituous the statue wasnt destroyed and the people thought it was
a sign from GOD that Catholic is the real religion.This is how the
Philippine people adopted the Religion of Catholosim
The first immagrant Philippine people to arrive here in the
states was in the state of Louisiana,New Orleans area in the Early
1800's
I hope this information helps about the Country of the
Philippines,If one is studying it.Well God bless and take care
