00:00 He is a senior citizen but he still continues his faith as a man who has been praying for more than three decades on the cross in Kotud, in San Fernando City, in Pampanga.
00:11 Witness, Oscar Oida.
00:17 For the 35th time this year, Ruben Inaje, 63 years old, will again fulfill his year-long vow to pass the 2-kilometer cross before he is allowed to continue his faith in the Church Of Christ of Latter-day Saints in Kotud, Barangay San Pedro, in San Fernando, Pampanga.
00:37 When Ruben admitted, his body was starting to weaken.
00:44 My problem is that my body is really weak.
00:47 Before, my body was slim, I could do three hours and 20 minutes on the cross.
00:58 But now that my body is strong, I can do 10 minutes on the cross.
01:04 Earlier, we caught him checking the things he will use on the cross and the cross.
01:11 The cross I was carrying was 37 kilos.
01:14 Now, I made it lighter so that my body can handle it.
01:19 It is a huge sacrifice.
01:22 But according to Ruben, it is nothing compared to the blessings he received.
01:29 Now, I have my own job.
01:31 I commute.
01:33 Now, I have a car.
01:35 I just stay on the land that has land.
01:40 Now, I have land.
01:41 But maybe he will count one or two years, he will stop doing the faith.
01:49 The truth is, someone has already asked him to change.
01:53 I am still nervous.
01:55 But if someone will really give it to me, I will not be able to do anything.
02:02 Aside from Ruben, the local government of San Fernando is also prepared for the expected arrival of 20,000 people in their area.
02:12 Earlier, steel barriers, tents and portalets were laid.
02:19 Our preparation is already at 80 percent.
02:24 We can see that it is ready. We will just lay a tent for our vendors.
02:32 The police will also be around the area.
02:36 They expect more people to arrive on Friday.
02:40 Maybe up to 300 police officers, traffic enforcers of the city and even the guards.
02:52 To those who will be coming to our barangay, don't forget to bring water.
03:00 Bring a lot of water and a umbrella because we know that this site is open and the weather is hot.
03:08 Sometimes, the CBCP said that even though they are not condemning the issue of the cross, they are not endorsing it.
03:17 The Church Of Christ does not need to do the literal hard work for the body because Christ sacrificed His life for our salvation.
03:27 For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Oidang, your Saksi.
