The Philippines is recognized as the only Christian country in Asia, with 86% of its population being Roman Catholic. Additionally, there are 6% who follow various nationalized Christian sects and 2% affiliated with over 100 Protestant denominations. Alongside the predominant Christian community, there exists a significant Muslim minority comprising 4%, primarily residing in the southern islands of Mindanao, Sulu, and Palawan.
Approximately 2% of the population living in isolated mountainous regions follow non-Western indigenous beliefs and practices. The Chinese minority, although small in number, has influenced Filipino Catholicism by incorporating aspects of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism into their own belief system (Miller, Religion in the Philippines).
The Filipino people have the freedom to choose their religion according to their beliefs, as regulated by the laws of the country. Christianity is th
...e primary choice for many Filipinos, making it a subject worth investigating.
Christianity is a religious faith and practice that was taught by Jesus Christ in Palestine while Tiberius was the Roman Emperor. After Jesus' death, certain individuals among his followers spread this system for global recognition. Currently, Christianity has become the largest religion globally, with around two billion believers, including those in the Philippines.
Determining the origin of this religion is difficult due to its significant impact on Filipinos nationwide. Many devoted individuals go to great lengths to show their faith, sometimes leading politics to become entangled with the Church and causing controversy.
This research paper aims to examine the effects of Christianity in the Philippines and its significant influence on us. Through a thorough analysis, we will uncover the repercussions it has had on the Filipino
population.
