Questions

How many English-speaking doctors are there in Philippines?
We list 32, in 5 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Manila, with 24 of the 32.
Is English unusual for doctors in Philippines?
100% of the 32 doctors we hold in Philippines are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
