According to Brother Bienvenido Santiago through the NET25, Brother Eraño G. Manalo (84) died yesterday at 3:53PM due to cardiopulmonary arrest in his home.

Note: If your reading this article at your email, you should visit the live version of the article for you to be able to watch it.
As the preparation for the possible rush of the brethren into the Iglesia ni Cristo Central Temple for their last glimpse to the executive minister, the Quezon City Police Department deployed 200 policemen who will provide security and traffic management in the area.
But what is Cardiopulmonary Arrest?
Ka Erdy was suffering from prostate cancer but the cause of his death according to his doctor is Cardiopulmonary Arrest.
Here’s few of the definition of the term “Cardiopulmonary Arrest“:
asystole: absence of systole; failure of the ventricles of the heart to contract (usually caused by ventricular fibrillation) with consequent … (source: wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn)
A cardiac arrest, also known as cardiopulmonary arrest or circulatory arrest, is the abrupt cessation of normal circulation of the blood due to failure of the heart to contract effectively during systole. (source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiopulmonary_arrest)
To make it simple but clear based on the definition above, the heart of Ka Erdy simply stopped functioning which resulted to his death.
Funeral
Brother Eraño G. Manalo’s remains will be temporarily interred on September 7, 2009 Monday (12:00noon) at the Iglesia Ni Cristo Tabernacle, in the Iglesia ni Cristo Central Complex, Quezon City while awaiting for the construction of the mausoleum. “The said mausoleum will be built near the monument of the late Brother Felix Manalo, also within the grounds of the Iglesia ni Cristo Central Complex,” Brother Bienvenido Santiago said in a statement.
President Gloria Macapagal – Arroyo declared September 7 as a national holiday, a day of mourning for the late executive minister of the Iglesia ni Cristo and all flags in the government offices will be flown in half mast.
As of Saturday, September 5, 2009, MMDA (Metro Manila Development Authority) chair Bayani Fernando advised motorists to avoid the Commonwealth avenue in Quezon City since an expected 2Million people will attend the burial of Ka Erdy. By midnight of Sunday to the afternoon of Monday, the Quezon-Memorial-Circle-bound lane will be closed to traffic from the corner of Luzon Avenue to the Quezon Memorial Circle. Tandang Sora Avenue and Central Avenue have been closed to traffic also.
They Called Ka Erdy as
The current president of the Philippines called Ka Erdy a “Great Leader“:
“This country and our world have lost yet another great leader in this generation who has touched the lives of multitudes by his life and his teachings.“
Former First Lady, Imelda Marcos called Ka Erdy a “good man“:
“Especially when Ferdie was just a new president, he would often seek Ka Erdy’s wisdom on many things. Ka Erdy and Ferdie were friends and as I remember those days, I cannot help but shed tears for Ka Erdy’s death. He was a good man, a very good man.“
Ramon Tulfo, a popular columnist, called Ka Erdy a “pious man“:
“Iglesia ni Cristo Executive Minister Erano “Ka Erdy” Manalo was a charismatic religious leader. But unlike other charismatic leaders, Ka Erdy never took advantage of government leaders who groveled at his feet for votes. Ka Erdy neither asked loans from the government nor sold his landholdings at criminally prohibitive price. He was a pious man.“
Caloocan City Mayor Enrico “Recom” Echiverri considered Ka Erdy as “a man of God whose life and sacrifices will continue to inspire millions of Filipinos to follow and live according to the teachings of Christ.”
Former President Joseph Estrada called him “a man of exceptional faith”:
“Ka Erdy was a man of exceptional faith under whose leadership the Iglesia ni Cristo was able to grow from a small church in Punta, Sta. Ana, to more than 800 churches internationally.”
“We will always remember him for the discipline he instilled in the followers of INC and the spirit of reconciliation he tried to impart upon the leaders of our nation.”
Others considered him the “most powerful man in the Philippines” but did not abuse his power, and that other religious leader should consider him the model in respecting the separation of the church and the state.
Interment Update

Chief Superintendent Elmo San Diego, director of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD), said his men in the field had a crowd estimate of between 1.5 and 2 million attending the burial rites. …
Since the Central Temple could not accommodate everyone inside, organizers set up widescreens outside to enable those who were not able to enter the compound to witness the interment rites.
The crowd reached as far as the Ayala Techno Hub and remained steadfast as they watched the large screens transmitting the live feed of the funeral amid the pouring rain.
There were no untoward incidents reported, said San Diego.

Rains failed to disperse the crowd that occupied the stretch of Commonwealth Avenue from UP-Ayala Technohub all the way to Tandang Sora Avenue. …
During the interment ceremony, some INC members closed their umbrellas so that other people behind them could see the screen better.
Other onlookers decided to take shelter under two pedestrian overpasses on Commonwealth Avenue, where they could be protected from the rain and at the same time have a birds’ eye view of the mammoth crowd.

Wails echoed inside the INC Tabernacle, located inside the INC Central Complex on Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City, while Manalo’s remains were wheeled into the spacious hall where a white tomb adorned with white flowers lay in the middle.
His widow, Cristina, and five children and other relatives were in black and stayed somber throughout the 30-minute interment ceremony for the late INC leader. …
In accordance with INC beliefs, there were no prayers at the ceremony.
For INC members, once a true Christian dies, he is certain of salvation on Judgement Day.
In a predominantly Catholic country that believes that souls wait in purgatory, the INC does not believe in such, thus doing away with Masses and prayers for the dead.

Lubos akong nalulungkot sa pagkamatay ng iginagalang nating Pangkalahatang Tagapangasiwa ng Iglesia ni Cristo. Pinakamalungkot na balita na natanggap ko ito. Datapwa’t alam naman natin na di natin hawak ang ating buhay. Payapa na siya at hihintayin na lang ang araw ng paghuhukom upang muli ay makasama ang mga kapatid na nanatili sa paglilingkod sa ating AMA.

> nawa’y patnubayan tayo ng AMA ngayong tayo ay nasa matinding pagdadalamhati…….magpatuloy tayo sa mga pagpupuri at pagtupad ng ating mga tungkulin……
salamat po KA ERDY…..
Paalam Ka Erdy..
We Always Love You…Thank you so much….
Mahal na Mahal nmin kayo….
Paalam po…..Hanggang sa Muling Pagkikita…
mula po sa eulogio &nd tamot family, lubos po kaming nalulumbay at nalulungkot sa pagpanaw ng ating mahal na kapatid na Erano G. Manalo.Mahal naming ka. Erdy, dito po sa puso namin, mananatili po kayong buhay, at ang iyong mga Banal na aral,lagi po naming itanim sa puso at isipan.Kami po ay magpapatuloy sa masiglang paglilingkod sa ating Panginoong Dios,anuman ang mangyari,magpapatuloy po kami hanggang sa wakas ng aming buhay o hanggang sa wakas ng sanlibutan.At sa lahat po ng family manalo,kami po ay lubusang nakikiramay sa inyo.
Mula po sa aming lahat dito sa Las Pinas, ang taos pusong pakikiramay namin sa mga naiwan ng pinakamamahal nating Ka Erdy. Paalam po at maraming maraming salamat.
Ang Huling tagubilin ni Ka. Erdy:
Malapit nang mag hukom nasa pintuan na! Malapit ng tumunog ang trumpeta o ang huling pakakak naganap na ang lahat ng mga hula at walang ipinalit sa kanya, dahil walang nakasulat sa bibliya na mayroong pangatlong mamumuno sa Iglesia.
Nawa po sa lahat ng bumabasa sa artikulong ito, mga kapatid at lahat ng may tungkulin. Lahat po tayo ay dapat magsagawa ng mga pananalangin sapagkat nakahanda na ang pangko ng Diyos sa atin. Nawa mahanda nating lahat ang ating sarili ang lahat ng ating sambahayan upang salubungin ang ating Panginoong Jesus. Dalamhati din ang aking nararamdaman ngunit sa kabila ng lahat bumabangon pa rin ang kasiyahan dahil ang kapatid na Erdi nagtagumpay siya sa pangunguna sa iglesia hindi nya pinabayaan ang kanyang tungkulin at napagtapatan niya ito hanggang sa wakas ng kanyang buhay.
Salamat Ka. Erdi nawa’y lahat kaming mga Iglesia ni Cristo makasama ka, ang ating Panginoong Jesus at ang Ating Panginoong Diyos sa bayang banal na pangako nya sa atin. Mabuhay ang Iglesia ni Cristo nawa tatagan natin ang ating loob at tayo’y makipagbaka ng mabuting pakikipagbaka sapagkat malapit na ang wakas.
naalala ko ang mga kataga na binitiwan ni Apostol Pablo kay Timoteo
-Sapagka’t ako’y iniaalay na, at ang panahon ng aking pagpanaw ay dumating na.
- Nakipagbaka ako ng mabuting pakikipagbaka, natapos ko na ang aking takbo, iningatan ko ang pananampalataya:
-Buhat ngayon ay natataan sa akin ang putong na katuwiran, na ibibigay sa akin ng Panginoon na tapat na hukom sa araw na yaon;
Mahal ka Namin Ka Erdy….
As our dear beloved Ka Erdy once said “Everything is God’s will”. If there is anything I remember the most from Ka Erdy it’s his unmovable faith to our Lord God and His son our Lord Jesus Christ; let this inspire us all to also bare the same faith that we may all hold strong in the doctrines that was imparted to each of us through the ledership of our beloved Ka Erdy.But also let us never forget that we are all just faithful subjects to the will of our Almighty Father and that His loving grace and mercy will be the one that will carry us from all these pains and ultimately one day it will also be the very reason for us to gathered again us one body to the land He promised to all His faithuls where pains and sufferings will be no more. May God bless us all as I and my family send each and everyone of you our love and peace. To Ka Erdy , a job well done sir, take your rest and soon our Father will allow us all to be together. Thank you and Paalam po.

I know in my heart that Brother Erano Manalo’s death is just an instrument of God so that all people in the Philippines will be aware of the Iglesia ni Cristo. Nakakamiss po ang pagkapanaw ng ating mahal na kapatid. Pero hindi po nasayang ang kaniyang buhay sapagkat nagawa niyang gabayan ang buong iglesia upang makapanatili sa katatagan sa pananampalataya habang naghihintay tayo sa pagbabalik ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo.
Ang buo ko pong sambahayan ay nakikiramay sa mga kamag-anak sa laman ng kapatid na Erano Manalo, lalo na po sa lahat ng mga kapatid kay Cristo sa loob ng iglesia.
yes! My family are saddened by the news regarding Brother Erano G Manalo’s death. At gaya po ng panawagan ng Kapatid na Santiago, let’s all pray to God na manatili ang Kaniyang gabay sa atin lalo na sa buong iglesia at nawa ay manatili ang kaniyang pagpapala sa iglesia sa panahon ng pangunguna ng susunod na Tagapamahalang pangkalahatan ng iglesia.
Kahit nasa bansa kami na madalas Video tape ang texto at totoong napakalayo sa pamamahala, damang dama namin ang pagmamahal ng tagapamahalang pangkalahatan nung araw ng pasalamat sa pamamagitan ng kanyang palibot liham.
Totoong nakakalungkot ang kanyang pagpanaw, pero pagkatapos ng kalungkutan laging may kasunod na kaligayahan.
Condolence po sa Lahat ng mga kapatid sa Iglesia Ni Cristo.
My condolences to Erano family and the INC community…
Maraming salamat po at We missed you so much mahal naming Ka Erdy. . .
