Very poor comment! Shame on you!!! To even say the Philippines is not a Christian country. Obviously, YOU are the one who don't believe and who who DO NOT have God.

If not for the Lord, our dear country would have been more in distress now.

Mistake on Dureza's part, but there sure is nothing wrong in saying prayers in cabinet meetings, and more so, for wisdom to the President for leading our nation.

The government officials shouldn't be praying in the first place so much so the office of the President. It is very discriminating to Filipinos who don't believe in a God or their God but who honestly pay taxes, who love the Philippines, and who are proud of being Filipino. The Philippines is not a Christian country. The Philippines is a Filipino country. Let's keep it that way.
