as much as i hate for not taxing this institution, it would be hard to change the consitution... and afaik the church would certainly go against it, probably one of the reason why they are so against in Cha-Cha...
we all know that most religious organization are very rich... too bad our govt cant touch them... this one the reason why our politicians have to dance with the wolf for them to get their support some are dying to get their blessings...
its very ironic and sad that the remnant of spanish colonialization still exists even today.. Damaso still exists!!!
