Which shows that the Philippines is much more Catholic than Ireland.
Ireland had a horrible time with pedophiile priests. Much worse than here and covered up by the local bishops.
Traditional cultural values are stronger.Most recent figures show that the Republic registers at 84 percent Catholic, while Northern Ireland is at 48 percent. In 2011, it was estimated that 75.5 million Filipinos, or roughly 80% of the population, profess Catholicism. - https://en.wikipedia.org/
The Philippines is a predominantly Roman Catholic country, with approximately 92.5 percent claiming to be Christian. Despite this, the Philippines has recently been ranked as one of the most gay-friendly nations in the world, and the most gay-friendly in Asia.[4][5][6] On a global survey covering 39 countries, only 17 of which had majorities accepting homosexuality, the Philippines ranking as the 10th most gay-friendly. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_the_Philippines
Ireland has voted by a huge majority to legalise same-sex marriage, becoming the first country in the world to do so by popular vote in a move hailed as a social revolution and welcomed around the world. The result means that a republic once dominated by the Catholic church ignored the instructions of its cardinals and bishops.
Northern Ireland is now the only region in western Europe where marriage equality is not a reality. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/may/23/gay-marriage-ireland-yes-vote
