MANILA, Philippines – Senate President Juan Ponce-Enrile ordered three foreigners thrown out from the Senate Thursday after they started preaching to him about God as he was being interviewed by the media.

Enrile was caught by surprise when the female foreigner, who claims to be from Thailand, interrupted his interview with the media.

“What is God going to do with a city full of sinners?” the foreigner asked Enrile and went on preaching to the Senate leader.
