Circumcision Rate: 92.5%
Now the major religion in the Philippines is not Islam nor Judaism, but rather Christianity. However, despite the majority of the population of the Philippines being Christians, the circumcision rate is extremely high due to a social rite called “Tuli”. Tuli is considered a rite of passage for boys, and those who do not have this ritual performed on them are subject to social ridicule from peers. That’s why Philippines is among countries with highest circumcision rate in the world despite being the only Christian nation in Southeast Asia.
