Why do hospitals in the Philippines ask for your religion?

Mostly for statistics reasons. The same way they ask if you are married or not. Religion just like marital status usually has no bearing on medical care except for some cases like jehova’s witnesses who dont believe in blood transfusion. Also for jews and muslims there are dietary restrictions.

Because there are some religions(10%) especially in South Philippines that cannot accept blood transfusion or other matters, so the doctors and nurses have to ask the patient, before they do a procedure.
