In 2023, it was reported that Happy Cow listed 80 vegan dining options in the Philippine capital region (mainly in Metro Manila.)
Research conducted in 2021 by Rakuten found that 77% of consumers in the Philippines had tried plant-based milk, 51% had tried other vegan dairy replacements, 45% had tried plant-based meats and 31% had tried vegan egg replacements. Primary motivations were health (56%), concern for animals (41%) and concerns for the environment (28%). The same research found that 14% of respondents said that they only consume plant-based foods.
The population of the Philippines is 119,106,224 as of this writing in 2024. So, at 1.2% there would be approximately 1,429,274 Vegans in the Philippines now.
Quezon province, which is South of the National Capital Region, is covered with mountains, valleys and flat areas covered with millions or billions of banana and coconut trees! I think the entire population of the Philippines could survive, with no imports, for many years or forever!
Find followers of Yahusha in the Philippines
The Philippines is predominately a Roman Catholic country. But a great awakening is happening now all over the world. People are discovering that they have been lied to for over 1,700 hundred years.
People are seeing the lies and awakening to the Truth.
Most followers of The Way of the Messiah meet in their homes with family members. There are some assemblies scattered in places like Davao on Mindanao, on the island of Cebu, and in Metro Manila like our Assembly of Yahuah Vegans in Dasmarinas, Cavite. There may be followers on every island and in every city.
HalleluYah (Praise You Creator)!
Visit our website where you may find Yahuah and start following Him. The site is our mission to Christians, where they are introduced to their real Creator, YAHUAH, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, on the homepage. Unlearn the Lies, Relearn the Truth.
Watch Hadarah's testimony #1 at Church for Christian Vegans about why she left Christianity and started following The Way. She decided to "quit drinking the Kool-Aid."
Start reading a real names ScriptureBerĕshith (Genesis) 1 | TS2009 Bible | YouVersion The real names of all people, places and things have been hidden from everyone for over 1,700 years! Been wondering why your prayers have been going unanswered? If you are not Vegan and do not know the Name of Who to pray to what can you expect?
Have you been buying meat at the grocery store? You have been paying for the killing of animals, wrapping their pieces in plastic and selling them to you. Then you have been eating them. As a consumer, their blood is on your hands.
“And when you spread out your hands, I hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I do not hear. Your hands have become filled with blood."
Look for people who are wearing this name of our Creator on their hats or clothing.

Keep abreast of the latest news about the Philippines.
As an American expat, who has lived in the Philippines since 2007, married to a Filipina and raising three Fil-Am children, I am, of course, concerned about developments that may endanger my family. Several years ago, I was granted permanent residency.
Adapting to the Philippines
My children are all enrolled in and attend a Philippine school not far from our home. They have adapted well to the school and have been welcomed by the staff and students. They have made friends there and in our neighborhood. Bridging the gap between native Filipinos and Fil-Ams requires empathy, open dialogue, and a willingness to learn from each other. Both groups share a common heritage, and acknowledging their distinct experiences can lead to a more harmonious relationship.
My wife and I have friends here, Filipinos and Americans. She also has a sister and nieces who live near us. So, we are basically settled in and comfortable here.
We live in a house about 2.5 hours SW of Manila. We are all Vegans now. See how welive as Vegans. My oldest daughter does some baking and has taken some cookies to school for classmates. Recently she participated in an entrepreneurial event on campus. She set up a vending table and sold cookies and drinks to students and staff. She sold out of "cashew chocolate chip" and "red velvet cookies"! See some of her cookiesnear the bottom of the page.
Now we are concerned about recent developments in the waters of our country of residence.

Should we stay or should we go?
We are thinking about buying another car. Should it be new or secondhand? Under the circumstances I think it will be a used car. It is still too early to make a decision about moving.
As a Vegan and an animal activist I write about veganism and hand out PETA leaflets. Many Filipinos have never heard of PETA and many don't even know what "Vegan" means.
This week I graduated from a local seminary with a Bachelor of Theology degree. I had completed three years of schooling in the USA years ago. Having a lot of spare time, I decided to apply to enroll here, in country, to complete my degree. Fortunately, I was accepted as a student and attended all classes on campus. I am now the first person in my family to have earned a college degree! My wife is next to get a diploma. The children are planning to keep advancing through school. Summer break is coming and that should be fun.
