Cebuano

Visayan Language has strong roots from Arab and Hebrew language which the Filipinos indirectly received from people who came from India, Sumatra, and Borneo ^[1]. Cebuano is the second most spoken language in the Philippines. The complete Cebuano Bible was first published in 1917. This Bible is published today as the Ang Biblia, Cebuano by the Philippine Bible Society. Two separate versions are available: The 'Pinadayag' version contains a completely revised New Testament, the 'Bugna' version contains the original New Testament from 1917. Both versions share the same Old Testament text. The New Testament text generally follows the same Greek Received Text, which was used as a basis for the King James Version. Because of its similarity with the KJV it is also called the Cebuano King James Version. Cebuano, Ang Biblia, Bugna Version is available online ^[2].

On a mission trip to Mindanao year 1995, Pastor Mike Veach found out that the Cebuano Bible being used by the churches was very corrupt. Upon inquiring about efforts being made to do a new translation led Pastor Mike Veach to meet Pastor Ruben Sulapas and his group the following year 1996 ^[3].
