    Peralta vs. Phil.

    Postal Corporation
    G.R. No. 223395 December 4, 2018 Villaflores, Leah Nina M.
    FACTS: On May 10, 2014, respondent Philippine Postal Corporation (PhilPost) issued a stamp
    commemorating Iglesia ni Cristo's (INC's) Centennial Celebration. Renato V. Peralta (petitioner) filed a
    complaint assailing the constitutionality of the printing, issuance and distribution of the INC commemorative
    centennial stamps, allegedly paid for by respondent PhilPost using public funds. He argued that respondents'
    act of releasing the said stamps was unconstitutional because it was tantamount to sponsorship of a
    religious activity; it violated the separation of the Church and the State; and the non-establishment of
    religion clause.

    ISSUE: Did the printing of the INC centennial commemorative stamps by the PPC undermine the undermine
    freedom of religion?

    HELD: NO. The printing and issuance of the assailed commemorative stamps were not inspired by any
    sectarian denomination. The Court finds no reason or basis to grant the petition. In refusing to declare
    unconstitutional the INC's commemorative stamp, this Court is merely applying jurisprudentially sanctioned
    policy of benevolent neutrality. To end, it bears to emphasize that the Constitution establishes separation of
    the Church and the State, and not separation of religion and state.
