According to Prof. Arnulfo Esguerra, many Filipinos are only religious, but not moral nor spiritual.
I strongly agree.
In fact, many active church-goers I know don't act Christian in their dealings with others.
Inside the church, they are very holy but assume a totally different persona (dysfunctional) outside.
Fr. Gerry Bulatao, SJ called it "split-level Christianity."
An excellent case in point is Gloria Arroyo who projects a "holy" and "righteous" image inside the church (as captured by photos) but doesn't put those values into practice.
Si Gloria Arroyo ay isang malaking press release. Aba naman!
I know a lot of people who do not hear Mass but are more Christian than active church goers.
Hindi kailanman batayan ang ritwal!
