Found this gem, a 1956 article by one of the
Philippine greats in international law, Jorge Coquia:
"Those who have always claimed 'separation of
Church and State' have obviously wanted the absolutist and separatist view of
religion and government. A careful study of the history and background of the
'no establishment of religion' clauses in both the American and Philippine
Constitutions shows, however, that instead of the mutual exclusion and consequent
antagonism of the Church and the State, the intent was more the promotion of
religion by the state."
