"I am in humility and purity, so Man, seek and there you will find me." - A.C.D.U.D.U.M. NIÑO DE PASTOR
MALAYANG MANANAMPALATAYA CHURCH
MALAYANG MANANAMPALATAYA CHURCH, INC. is a registered religious sect that originated in Morong, Rizal, Philippines on August 10, 1955.
This religion was founded by the followers of A.C.D.U.D.U.M. NIÑO DE PASTOR,the true Son of God who descended to earth to preach and save mankind through Constantina T. San Antonio (who became Constantina S.A. San Diego) from whom His voice was heard from 1955 until the time of her death in 2019.
HISTORY
1953 - The Beginning of Manifestations
In Maybancal, Morong, Rizal, Philippines, there lived a simple lady named Constantina T. San Antonio, known for her kind-heartedness, truthfulness and above all very pious indeed. One day during a high school examination, she felt dizzy. Her kind teacher gave her first aid and a glass of water. When she regained her senses, Constantina recalled clearly that as she was trying to cope, her head tilted downward, someone in a long dress standing with bare feet caught her eyes and as she tried to look upward to see the face, she passed out.
1955
One day in July 1955, Constantina was washing clothes in the well about 10 meters away from their yard, feeling hungry she went up to the house alone. When she was eating she heard the call of whom she supposed was a beggar. She looked out and saw an old bearded man with a big cloth pouch tied on the cane he was holding. Constantina did not even have a cent to give and was forced to ask for an excuse from the poor beggar. The beggar left followed by the eyes of Constantina and to her surprise, the beggar disappeared upon reaching the “is-is” tree (sandpaper leaf tree) just around five meters away from their house.
Revelation
On August 10, 1955, Constantina started to act strangely and preach in a peculiar manner not typical of herself until the second day, He identified himself as the Spirit of the Holy Son of God, the Savior of the human race.. His earthly name, A.C.D.U.D.U.M. NIÑO DE PASTOR. The people observed the change in her voice, appearance, and behavior whenever the spirit is in her. Her voice was small and deep as if coming from within. They referred to the Spirit as "Tinig" meaning voice.
Belief or Disbelief - The Family Struggle
The family mistook it as a sign of insanity and feared that continuous preaching without sleep and lack of food she might be ill that she was brought to the doctor who gave her sleeping pills. Constantina took the pills intended for three(3) days in one (1) dosage. She never slept and continued preaching. The family brought her an old herbalist/faith healer who performed alum healing (pagtatawas) wherein the picture of an old man with a beard transformed from the liquefied alum. Later, another faith healer tied a hanky on the forehead of Constantina saying if the spirit in her is evil, she would remove it, otherwise, good spirit is reigning. The latter happened. Constantina continued preaching with the hanky on her forehead and the people who gathered to listen came in bigger quantities.
1956 - Appearance of the Virgin MAry, Mother of Mercy
In May of 1956, at 4 o'clock in the morning, Constantina clearly saw the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary on top of the avocado tree close to their house. A few minutes later, the image disappeared from her sight.
Acceptance
The news about a preaching God in the person of Constantina spread across the nearby towns. Groups of people from Morong and the neighboring towns flocked to their house. Some went there for curiosity. Some of them just wanted to listen while others wanted a cure for their illnesses. There are those who just wanted to seek lost items, some others asked for solutions for their problems. The people became familiar with the voice of A.C.D.U.D.U.M. and felt at ease to respond when He called them by their real names, sometimes by other names, just as “Tancing” was how He called Constantina. They were amazed by His use of figurative phrases that were expounded into real life scenarios. When He spoke about the future of the world, He joked to dispel the creeping fear among them. They could feel His love for the people and His earnest desire to save them. When preaching was about to end, his constant words were "I will leave now."
Rejection
Wherever Constantina went, people followed her even at the Parish church when she preached beside the Holy Nazarene. She continued preaching, treating the sick day and night, despite the insults of other people until the Parish Priest of the church declared rejection in one of his sermons, telling the people twice not to believe Constantina’s words for she is insane. "You know what the Priest did to us while praying near the Holy Nazarene at the church? We were dragged towards the door and sent us out,", according to a follower of Constantina. The actions and remarks of the Parish Priest hurt the family and the followers of A.C.D.U.D.U.M.
The Significant Act
Because of this, seven hundred seventy two (772) of her followers, then decided to organize a religious group separate from the Roman Catholic or any other existing religions. That step made Malayang Mananampalataya Church a registered, independent Christian religion that is now known to exist from 1955 to the present with its own Sacraments, prayers, teachings and teachings from the Holy Spirit of God the Son A.C.D.U.D.U.M. NIÑO DE PASTOR, the savior of mankind. In the last 64 years, A.C.D.U.D.U.M. had laid out everything that His followers should do to make their life and way of life better through Constantina from whom His voice was heard since 1955 until the time of her death in 2019.

BELIEFS
The Eye
Three Persons in One God - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God, the Father is watching over his creatures and nothing can be hidden from Him, bad and good deeds. God, the Son descended to earth from heaven to spread His teachings on righteousness and save humanity. God, the Holy Spirit, guides the people to what is true, what is right and what is good.
A.C.D.U.D.U.M. Niño De Pastor
The earthly name of the One, True Son of God and Savior of mankind who took the role of a humble Shepherd to fulfill His mission. His clothing, appropriate for a Shepherd, is truly a symbol of humility.
Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy
She symbolizes women. She is the Light that guides us and intercedes for us in our Lord so that we can be forgiven of our sins.
Conscience
Conscience is a grain of power that God endowed to each of His creatures so that He can faithfully judge what man thinks and does, whether good or bad. The conscience which dwells in us is a small voice from our inner being that affirms whether our behavior is right or wrong.
Confession
We do not confess our sins to a priest. The proper confession is to ask forgiveness from whom you committed a sin and from Him.
The Holy Cross and The Sign of the Cross
The cross represents Three Persons in One God - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, thus making a sign of the cross is recognizing and honoring the Three Persons in One God, and believing in their power. The sign of a cross is also a prayer in itself. According to A.C.D.U.D.U.M., Jesus was not crucified. With that said, we use the plain, bare cross, not the crucifix.
Good Friday
The true meaning of Good Friday is remembering the teachings of the Son of God, our Savior, repentance of sins, and striving hard not to repeat the same sins again. We do not celebrate Easter Sunday because A.C.D.U.D.U.M. said, "Jesus Christ will not be resurrected because Jesus never ever died. Jesus is always alive."
Purgatory and Hell
A.C.D.U.D.U.M. didn’t use the term purgatory, He clearly stated there is a process of filtering and there is a place where the souls of people are screened based on what they did while they were still alive, good and bad deeds. Hell is not a place but a state of suffering in different aspects of life here on earth and even in the afterlife.
Christmas
The meaning of Christmas is love, giving, mutual support, and forgiveness and should be done not only during the holidays but every day. December 15 is the Christmas celebration of our church because according to A.C.D.U.D.U.M. NIÑO DE PASTOR, that is the date when He descended to earth.
The Bible
Malayang Mananampalataya Church does not rely on the Holy Bible of other religions. We have our own teachings that if followed will lead us to live a good life.
