Intro
In 2021, there are barely 10 Ahmadi’s in all of the Philippines, Humanity First is also there working and trying to get converts. Talha Ali is the only Qadiani-Ahmadi missionary. There is only one Ahmadiyya mission house in the entire country, its in Parañaque, which is just south of Manila. In 2020, the Ahmadiyya Movement seems to have acquired the mosque of Muslims on Island of Simmunul, South Philippines. Historically, Muslims live in the extreme south of the Philippines, thus, Ahmadiyya doesn’t interact with the Muslims of the Philippines. 99% of the sources are from Ahmadiyya literature (Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosques Around The World – A Pictorical Presentation. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community; Khilafat Centenary Edition. 2008. ISBN 978-1882494514).
