MANILA, Philippines - For the very first time, atheists and agnostics in the Philippines will be "coming out".

A "Coming Out Event" has been organized by the Philippine Atheists and Agnostics Society (PATAS) from 3 p.m. of March 19 to 9 p.m. of March 20 at the Rizal Park in Manila.

"Sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon, lalabas ang mga nagtatagong atheist at agnostic sa Pilipinas, sa paniniwalang kaya namin maging mabuti at kapaki-pakinabang na nilalang kahit walang relihiyon," said Steve Gelano, PATAS convenor.
