With about 81% of the 90 million people (2009 estimate) who are Roman Catholic (approximately 72.9 million), the Philippines holds the distinction of being the third-largest Catholic nation in the world after Brazil and Mexico, as well as the only other predominantly Catholic nation in Asia aside from East Timor.

With about 81% of the 90 million people (2009 estimate) who are Roman Catholic (approximately 72.9 million), the Philippines holds the distinction of being the third-largest Catholic nation in the world after Brazil and Mexico, as well as the only other predominantly Catholic nation in Asia aside from East Timor. The Roman Catholic primate of the Philippines is traditionally the archbishop of Manila. The current archbishop is Cardinal Rosales. He is based at the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros.
  • La Chiesa cattolica nelle Filippine conta circa settanta milioni di battezzati e 86 diocesi. Nel 1995 si è tenuta a Manila la Giornata Mondiale della Gioventù.
  • 菲律宾和东帝汶是亚洲仅有的两个天主教国家。天主教徒占菲律宾人口的83%，占有绝对优势，从西班牙传入五百年来，天主教一直对菲律宾的政治和社会产生巨大影响。1986年总统马科斯和2001年埃斯特拉达被赶下台，以樞機辛海梅為首的菲律賓主教聯會（CBCP）都发挥了重要作用。全国城乡各处遍布大小教堂和售卖天主教用品的店铺。菲律宾有四座巴洛克风格的天主教堂已列为世界文化遗产，分别坐落在马尼拉、圣玛丽亚、帕瓦伊和米亚高。菲律宾还拥有世界上最长的圣诞季，从12月16日开始。
