Religion in the Philippines

Religion in the Philippines is predominated by Christianity, with the Catholic Church being its largest denomination. Sizeable minorities adhering to Islam, Dharmic religions (Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism), and indigenous Philippine folk religions like Anitism are also present.

The country is officially secular and its constitution guarantees freedom of religion. Before the arrival of Spanish missionaries, the various ethnic groups residing in the territory of modern-day Philippines practiced a variety of faiths.
