The Exarchate of the Philippines is a jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople governed by the Metropolitanate of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.^[1]^[2] Today, there are some 560 Orthodox in the country,^[3] around 40 of those being expatriates. There are six parishes of Constantinopolitan Orthodoxy from which the faith is being practiced^[3]^[4]: Parañaque^[5], Quezon City, Cataingan, Sorsogon, Lake Sebu and Los Baños.^[3]^[6]^[7]

Around the beginning of the seventeenth century, Greek sailors settled in Manila and Legazpi.^[5]

The church was consecrated by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I on March 5, 2000,^[5] during his visit to the Philippines.^[8] Two other churches--one in Cataingan and the other in Los Baños--have since been established, along with a few other chapels.

The Divine Liturgy and other Orthodox worship services are said in English and/or in the local language.^[9]
