Hi Good day PSA

My name is Jennz, I was born in Manila and have been living in Canada since 2015. I am also completely deaf. Please let me know if there are any statistics about Filipino Deaf people in the Philippines. Because our friends asked us about different islands in the Philippines, we weren't sure how many people lived there. If you find any statistics in the data, please let me know.

Thanks.

Regards
