Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance this Office does not have [some of]* the information you have requested. The National Mental Health Program currently does not have ANY OFFICIAL data on the statistics and morbidity of mental health disorders in our country in all its aspects. The program is currently developing a registry and information system to gather these information. We hope they can await as the department, more specifically, the program strives to address their concerns and strengthen mental health in our country. 

We are only able to provide the list of Accredited Psychiatric Facilities in the Philippines. For further reference, please visit the link below:
