Hi! I would like to request the following:
1. Population Statistics based on Religions in the Philippines (the data on the PSA website is a bit confusing since there is the Iglesia ni Cristo and there is Church of Christ on the table presented but are they not same religion? Same goes with Aglipay and Iglesia Filipina Independiente, upon researching they turn out to be just the same religion)
2. Population based on Religion in different cities and Municipality in Metro Manila
3. Lates Population of Expats and Foreign Immigrants in the Philippines and Metro Manila and their Religions
Thank you

Dear Christine Mae Singina,
Greetings!
Thank you for your request dated Dec 11, 2023 01:36:16 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
You asked for Population based on Religious Affiliations (2015-2023).
Your FOI request is approved.
Our apologies for the delayed response.
In reference to your email, our data on population by religious affiliations can be found on the links below:

Please be informed that the locally-based Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) is different from the Church of Christ, which arose from the United States and is classified as Evangelical Protestant.
For your specific inquiry, the Iglesia Filipina Independiente (IFI) or the Philippine Independent Church (PIC) and Aglipayan Church, on the other hand, are indeed one and the same religious affiliation. So, you may combine the data for these two religious affiliations to come up with just one figure. Rest assured that we will consider merging these two in the forthcoming Census of Population and in the other censuses and surveys that will be conducted by the PSA in the future.
Moreover, our data on latest population of expats and foreign immigrants in the Philippines and Metro Manila and their Religions can be accessed on these links:
