Duterte: 'I have deep, abiding faith in God'

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte has declared that he has 'deep and abiding' faith in God, even as he has repeatedly lashed out at the Catholic Church.

Speaking during the celebration of the 120-year presence of the Baptist Churches in the Philippines on Thursday night, Duterte believed that God was always with him, especially when he visited war-torn areas in Mindanao.
