  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “But as for you, when you pray each should go home to his house. He should shut the door so he can’t be seen, and there pray to our Father God who cannot be seen. And our Father God, he alone will be able to see him, and he will be the one to reward him in the future.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
