Question 11

2024 Bar · Political Law · 1 sub-question

11. The members of the Barangay Council wanted to make the yuletide celebrations of their constituents more festive. Accordingly, the Barangay Council adopted a resolution authorizing the solicitation of funds from private individuals to build a seven-meter tall statue of “Rudolph the Red- Nosed Reindeer” in the plaza in front of the basilica. The residents from other barangays questioned the resolution for alleged violation of Section 5, Article III of the 1987 Constitution which states that “[n]o law shall be made respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Is the barangay resolution invalid for violation of the non-establishment of religion clause? Explain.
