Last January 5, 2017, President Rodrigo Duterte signed Proclamation Number 124 declaring every month of January as the National Bible Month while every last week of January is to be observed as the National Bible Week.

This proclamation signed by the President declares that the state recognizes the religiosity of Filipinos and the influence of religion in the society and the Philippine government has vowed to maintain its neutrality in dealing with members of the religious community in the country.
