Where these came from

These English-speaking lawyers come from 3 sources, led by the Australian government (12), a German diplomatic mission (5) and the UK Foreign Office's Find a professional service abroad (1).

Every one of these sits on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.

Questions

How many English-speaking lawyers are there in Philippines?
We list 18, in 4 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 10 of the 18.
Is English unusual for lawyers in Philippines?
100% of the 18 lawyers 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.
