Filipinos are the unusual Catholic majority in Asia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Filipinos, it’s easy to overlook that Catholicism is a tiny minority in Asia. While Catholics make up around 80% of the Philippine population, they account for only 3% of Asia’s population. In other words, while nearly every Filipino is a baptized Catholic, only three out of every 100 Asians are baptized. By comparison, the Americas have about 60 Catholics for every 100; Europe has about 35, Oceania about 25, while Africa has about 18. Asia, therefore, is the least Catholic region in the worl
Filipino bishops rally laity with letter on mental health (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the Philippines, like in many other parts of the world, the suicide rate is astonishingly high. The bishops' pastoral letter considers what's to be done to improve mental health. “Come to me, all of you who labor and are burdened”: It is with these moving words from the Gospel of Matthew that the Filipino bishops open their recent pastoral letter on the mental health crisis affecting millions of Filipinos. Christ’s words remind us that we believe in a God who carries our crosses with us. He i
Mary’s Ephesus house is now open to Filipinos (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Filipino Holy See ambassador: Public service is about people (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When he joined our video call, I was surprised by the warmth of his countenance. I was expecting a more formal personality – one that would make it difficult to feel at ease. But Ambassador Raphael Lotilla, the newest Philippine representative to the Holy See, quickly dispelled this expectation. From the first moments of our conversation, he was unassuming and gracious. His palpable modesty was both unexpected and refreshing. As our exchange unfolded, my first impression only deepened. Whether h
What Alex Eala reminds us about inner freedom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two Saturdays ago, on July 4, the internet buzzed with news of Alexanda Eala’s historic victory over Wimbledon’s defending champion, Iga Swiatek. Just 21 years old, the Filipina tennis star had defeated one of the world’s best. Two days later, however, Eala lost to Italian veteran Jasmine Paolini, who is almost a decade older than she is. It seemed that Paolini's long years of experience gave her the edge. Even so, Eala fought back to win the second set despite obvious signs of fatigue after sev
