Location of the Philippines

The Bahá’í Faith in the Philippines started in 1921 with the first Bahá’í first visiting the Philippines that year,[1] and by 1944 a Bahá’í Local Spiritual Assembly was established.[2] In the early 1960s, during a period of accelerated growth, the community grew from 200 in 1960 to 1000 by 1962 and 2000 by 1963. In 1964 the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the Philippines was elected and by 1980 there were 64,000 Bahá’ís and 45 local assemblies.[3] The Bahá’ís have been active in multi/inter-faith developments. No recent numbers are available on the size of the community.
