Noli me tangere ano ang ibig ipahiwatig ng pahayag na "ang pinakamataas mang pinuno ng pamahalaan ay mababa pa kaysa legong kusinero sa simbahan"?

The question in English would be:

what does the statement mean that "the highest governmental authority is less than a thousand cooks in the church"?

It means that the government authority is weak

Explanation:

The phrase compares the government authority with many cooks in the church, cooks don't have any authority in a church, across cultures and religions the spiritual authority is God or Gods, and the face-to-face authority is the leader of the group sometimes call priest depending on the religion. Now the reason they use cooks could be related to the fact that most churches restrict food, and cooks are the instruments of food, in any case, the phrase refers to the lack of authority of the government.

assessment is the missing word
