The national number hides everything. Here's the Philippines at the ADM3 level — municipalities and cities colored by real 2020-census age×sex ratios, with barangay (ADM4) drill-down on click.
2020 Census of Population (PSA) via UN OCHA COD-PS; boundaries geoBoundaries / faeldon (CC-BY). Figures are directional.
Use the country as the rulebook, then shortlist cities before dropping into municipality and barangay detail. The city ranking, the compare tray, and the remote-work livability read in one place. Click a city to zoom the map to it, or use Compare to add it to the tray.

Month by month: how hot it feels, how humid, how cloudy, how much it rains. These are ten-year averages (2015–2024), so they barely move year to year — a climate profile, not a forecast.

Climate is the day-to-day; this is the tail risk. INFORM Risk Index hazard exposure — the Philippines sits on the typhoon belt and the Pacific Ring of Fire, so it reads high. Country-level; a national figure, not a city split.

App charts are published by country storefront, so this describes the Philippines as a whole — it is identical for Cebu and Davao and must not be read as a city signal. Android only, since it dominates PH mobile share.
Loading dating market…
Sex ratio is supply; this is a first read on how much of it is unattached. The honestly-sourced figure counts all ages 10+ — the true 20–39 dating-band split by sex is a census-table extraction still to come.
Loading singlehood…
What a relationship is likely to expect of each side — traditional vs egalitarian home roles. A survey norm, honest both ways, not a claim about any one person.
Loading gender norms…
How long you can stay, what it costs, and whether you ever have to leave. The Philippines is unusual: for most passports you can extend in-country up to the cap without a single visa run. Pick your passport — entry status is looked up for your nationality; the extension ladder is the same after that.
Loading visa & stay rules…
What people speak at home, and how far English gets you. Home language is 2020-census by household; English proficiency is a national index — PSA publishes no sub-national English figure, so this stays country level and never fakes a city or rural-vs-urban split.

The national breakdown. PSA publishes religion by province and highly urbanized city (the Religion map layer); nothing at municipality level. Shares are of household population, a different denominator from the sex-ratio layers.
Loading religion breakdown…
The Philippines overall, in five-year age brackets. Pick an Area in the chart to switch to a featured city — same 2020 census male/female counts the map uses, so the country and municipality layers stay on one source.
Loading population pyramid…
What actually targets newcomers on the ground — taxi overcharges, drink-spiking, card skimming, romance and visa-fixer scams. Each entry is tagged with the level it happens at (a Manila airport-taxi scam is not a country-wide claim) and cites the official travel advisory it comes from. Framed as your safety, not a claim about Filipinos.

Color comes from local 2020 census age×sex counts aggregated up from barangays where the municipality name can be matched; duplicate-name or unmatched areas stay neutral. Set any age band, then click a municipality to drill into its barangays. Featured-city markers sit on top so the shortlist cities are easier to spot. The Religion mode switches to province outlines (ADM2) — the finest level PSA publishes religion at — and grays Cotabato City, which PSA counts inside Maguindanao with no separate row.

ADM3 ratio across the dating-age 20–59 bands, plus total population. Green = more women, red = more men, same scale as the map. Two metrics: Same-age (men per 100 women in the band) or Dating pool (men ~5 yr older per 100 women — the pyramid's pairing). The Min population slicer sets how many areas show — instead of a fixed cap, you choose the size floor. Click a column to sort; filter by region or name. Faded cells are small samples; hover any cell for raw counts.
