Most Catholics in the Philippines are Latin (Western or Roman) Rite.
This is due to the Latin Rite Spanish missionaries and Spanish rule from 1521 to 1898.

To refer to the Philippines as located in the "far east" is no longer politically correct. Say southeast Asia. FYI.

The Early jap Church never called their Bishops popes, they stole this be conscious from the West. The East did no longer comprehend the so called Holy See of their Early years, as I reported they stole this be conscious from the West. definitely the Orthodox Church comes from the jap church homes so as that they seem to be a mix of the East. additionally I reported no longer something with regard to the call Orthodox, it is only a recognition, they have been around longer.
