Early life
Cristina Arámbulo Villanueva was born at 2:45 PM of February 1, 1937 at Philippine General Hospital in Ermita, Manila Philippines. She is the seventh child of Jacinto Mercado Villanueva (August 16, 1904 - December 25, 1970) of Pasay and Asunción Arámbulo y Alipon (August 15, 1895 - ?) of Santa Rosa, Laguna. Her parents were Aglipayans, members of the Philippine Independent Church. On January 17, 1955, at age of 17, she married the 30-year old Eraño "Erdy" Manalo who was almost two years on his term as the heir to succeed his father, being the Deputy Executive Minister elected by the INC Administrative Council.
Family
She conceived six children named Eduardo, Lolita, Erlinda, Liberty, Felix Nathaniel II and Marco Eraño. Her eldest, Eduardo followed his father's path as the leader of the church and was married to Babylyn Ventura. Lolita or "Lottie", her second child, lived in private with husband Eduard Hemedez. Her third child Erlinda or "Eileen", became a fellow wife of an evangelist when she married Romualdo Alcantara, the current Assistant Director of the New Era University College of Evangelical Ministry. Her fourth child Liberty or "Beth" followed the footsteps of aunt Pilar Manalo Danao, when she took Music major and graduated at University of the Philippines College of Music. Beth became part of the UP Singing Ambassadors where she met her future husband Albert Albert, a relative to singer, Joey Albert. Her fifth and youngest child, sons Felix Nathaniel II or "Angel" and Marco Eraño or "Marc" on the other hand, became co-evangelical ministers of their elder brother.
Reputation
Eraño established an ideal family, inspirational to church members on his 46 years of leadership. Tenny enjoyed her status as the so called "First Lady" for almost five decades.. Unlike being a First Lady of the Head of State, the wife of the Executive Minister does not earn religious responsibilities for the church administration, instead her role is exclusive within her own family like what an ordinary wife and mother is, to her husband and children.
Expulsion and Controversy
In July 2015, INC celebrated its 101st anniversary with a dispute between the INC Administrative Council and some members of the Manalo family including member critics and ministers, particularly Isaias Samson Jr. et al. A YouTube video was released few days before the nearing celebration, with Tenny and Angel Manalo pleading for help, claiming their lives were in danger. Tenny also mentioned her daughter Lottie's security and begged prayers for the group of ten ministers presumed abducted and tortured. This information were earlier issued on the blog Iglesia Ni Cristo Silent No More under whistleblower, pseudonym Antonio Ramirez Ebangelista. A day after the release of the video, Tenny, Lottie, Angel and Marc were expelled from the church, announced through circulars on the mid-week worship services, on grounds of creating divisions in the church.
Film Portrayal
Tenny Manalo is portrayed on the 2015 epic and biographical film Felix Manalo by actress Heart Evangelista.
