Suicide Rates in the Philippines

Requested from PSA by E. Carpio at 12:17 PM on Oct 27, 2023.
Purpose: Legal Research Paper
Date of Coverage: 01/01/2012 - 12/31/2022
Tracking no: #PSA-778893792857

Carpio 12:17 PM, Oct 27, 2023 

Hello!

I am a law student from the University of the Philippines - Diliman, College of Law. I am currently doing a legal research paper for one of my subjects and the data I'll be requesting is a crucial component. 

I would like to request for the suicide rates in the Philippines from 2012-2022. If possible, may I ask if you can also include the leading causes (e.g. bullying, domestic violence, etc.) and prevalent age groups (e.g. mostly 10-19 or 20 to 29, etc.)? Yearly data for all of these should suffice. 

Thank you so much!
