The religious sect which was subject to the verification is the Evangelical Churches of Christ Universal Inc. congregated in Barangay Juagdan, Ubay, Bohol with Bishop Igleserio Apatan Dupalco regarded as their Bishop.

During the verification, it was found out that the religious sect already existed long time ago with its mother sect. Until there was a conflict which rooted the division among members of the organization that opted them to separate and form a new church registered at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

As reported, there are regular Sunday worship rites and religious activities among the members who in different barangays of Ubay. Some pictures were taken as proof of the presence of the church and its legal identity.  The activity is usually done for new applications ensuring their veracity and truthfulness.
