The prime duty of the law is to serve and
protect the people
 nung 1935 Constitution wala ito,
 dinagdag lang sa 1973 Constitution.
May Bill of Rights daw kasi pero walang
duty and obligation. Kung tutuusin mali
kasi the constitution is made by the
people. It gave power to the government
so the government may not abuse its
power, they set limitations. Dapat yan lang
kaso pinares natin sa US nagdagdag ng Bill
of Rights.
The State is the people. The church is the
people. Pano mo paghihiwalayin yon e

Answer is YES.
 The church shall not interfere in purely
State affairs? NO.

makialam.
 So ang ginawa: tax exempt sila para
hindi mangialam, pero nagingialam pa rin

funds are not used primarily to advance or
inhibit religion
Pagka gumamit ng pondo ng gobyerno to
advance or inhibit a religion, when hindi
dapat ganto. Kasi ang pondo ay para sa

kaya bigyan ng libro lahat ng bahay,
sisiguraduhin lang hindi ina advance yung
any religion, 10% rebate kung gagamitin
ng teacher, momonitorin ng government
kung tama paggamit ng libro, or there will
be close excessive entanglement between
the church and the state (Lemon Case)

justice in all phases of national
development

people

shall equally protect the life of the mother
and the unborn. It does not say that it
prohibits passing a law on abortion. The SC
should decide not using religious dogma
but secular reasons. Cannot use bible or
quoran bec there is separation of church
and state. Hindi pa lumalabas na
protektahan na life ng unborn. Ang
question dito, when does he become a
person? Oo may life, yung plant nga may
life e. ito ang hindi malinaw.
Roe v Wade? Sa US
First trimester- pwede mag abort kasi
hindi pa naman bata yon, choice ng
mother kung gusto niya pa abort or not
