The story

Founded by Eraño Manalo in 2005.1

CEBSI was formed by the Iglesia Ni Cristo in 1969 as its media arm and launched the Church's own radio station, DZEM, that same year. It is the Church's official media outfit, with its primary mission being evangelization via radio, television, and the current trends of the Internet and social media.

CEBSI is also the producer of the Iglesia ni Cristo's television programming, which began in 1983, and after many years of producting telemovies and supporting the INC's INCInema program by the INC's regional divisions, spun off a film production house, CEBSI Films, in 2016, resulting in the success of its first-ever television movie which was released in 2017. CEBSI Films also serves as the drama division defacto of sister firm INCTV, debuting its first official weekly TV drama in 2026 for the channel.
