Just in case you didn't know, Catholicism is big in the Philippines. If I go out today, almost everyone will have a big gray ash cross on their foreheads. There is a separation of church and state, supposedly, but there is also the right to practice your religion freely. Even if that means obligating everyone in the class to get gray ash on their foreheads, catholic or not. I was a product of the public school system. Now that I think of it, aren't public schools supposed to be sectarian? Then why the hell do they make us pray before and after class and before recess and lunch?
A country of contradictions. I love it here.
