The Philippines borrowed American doctrine on the separation of Church and State, and codified the Free Exercise and Establishment clauses into its Constitution. The separation of Church and States holds a special place in Philippine history. In a non-pluralistic context, it is the contention that the Court must be especially vigilant in applying the Establishment Clause, although the Philippine Supreme Court had, in one rather difficult case, actually undermined the Free Exercise clause. Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman has proposed the Reproductive Health Act of 2004. Health officers may claim the conscientious objector exception if they "refuse to extend quality health care services and information." The best way to demonstrate the transplantation of US doctrine to the Philippines is through the parallel between Minersville School District v. Gobitis, and Gerona v. Secretary of Education
