just to clarify, im not here to start a religious war or something. gusto ko lang malaman opinion niyo on this matter.

napansin ko lang yung karamihan ng malalaking simbahan ay walang ample parking space or wala talagang alloted parking space for churchgoers. kaya every sunday (or friday in the case of quiapo) nagiging cause of traffic yung mga nakaparadang sasakyan sa kalsada. obvious examples are:

- quiapo church
- st. peter in commonwealth
- the church in mindanao avenue near st. james

yung sa quiapo, 2-3 lanes ang ginagawang parking lot sa kahabaan ng quezon blvd. Sa St. Peter naman ganito rin pero di masyadong halata dahil sa lawak ng commonwealth avenue. yung sa may St. James same ng quiapo. they really cause traffic. di pa kasama yung mag PUJ at buses na magsasakay ng mga nag-attend ng service o mass.

back to basics, ayon sa constitution: the separation of church and state is blah blah blah. but what is the limit? i've read somewhere that establishments are required by law (construction-related) to provide parking space to their customers and the like, are churches covered by this?

naisip ko lang kasi, kung need talaga magdala ng sasakyan going to quiapo church, pwede naman siguro iwan sa SM Manila then ride an fx or taxi to the church. kung takot naman mahold-up along the way, then the church itself is by no means safe from pickpockets and gropers
