God and the Philippines

Michael Novak has a list of all the state consitutions that mention God in their preamble...

So it go me thinking if we too have God in our constitution, and sure enough:

We, the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty God, in order to build a just and humane society and establish a Government that shall embody our ideals and aspirations, promote the common good, conserve and develop our patrimony, and secure to ourselves and our posterity the blessings of independence and democracy under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace, do ordain and promulgate this Constitution.

Yup. Gloria's okay. Nothing in the Constitution against stealing elections or diverting Agriculture funds from poor farmers to her election campaign...
