Buddhism is a minor religion in the Philippines. A recent nation-wide survey in 2020 showed that the actual number of Buddhists in the country was at 39,158 adherents out of the 112.2 million Philippine population or roughly 0.03% of the national population, the lowest in Southeast Asia.[2][3] This is much lower to what was initially estimated in 2016, where it was initially thought to be at 2%.[4] Buddhism is practiced by both native Filipinos, and by Filipinos of Chinese descent.[5] The number of Buddhists in the country has been dwindling due to the lack or no significant presence of Buddhist missionary works where the teachings of the Buddha are translated and taught to the native regional languages. Unlike Christian missionaries which have expanded in the country further, Buddhist missionaries tend to be lax and less assertive, thus ineffective.
