Iglesia ng Dios Kay Cristo Jesus, Haligi at Suhay ng Katotohanan is a non-stock religious corporation registered in 1936. A group headed by Eliseo Soriano disassociated themselves from such society and succeeded in registering in March, 1988, a new religious corporation named Iglesia Ng Dios kay Kristo Hesus, Haligi at Saligan ng Katotohanan. When the first corporation filed a protest with the SEC against the use of a similar name by the second corporation, the Soriano group caused the registration in April, 1980 of a new corporation named Ang Mga Kaanib sa Iglesia ng Dios Kay Kristo Hesus, H.S.K. , Sa Bansangs Pilipinas, Inc. Can the corporation keep its registered name against the protest of the first corporation?

Yes, since the second corporation was already registered with the SEC. A vested right was created.

Yes, since a corporate personality was created distinct from the first corporation having different incorporators.
