History
Within Metro Manila, the Diocese of Pasig (Latin: Dioecesis Pasigina; Filipino: Diyosesis ng Pasig) serves the Latin Catholic faithful of the cities of Pasig and Taguig together with the municipality of Pateros. Two exceptions apply in Taguig: the Embo barangays formerly part of Makati remain under the Archdiocese of Manila, and Fort Bonifacio falls under the Military Ordinariate of the Philippines.
What is kept by invitation
The record above is published because it is public: what this see is, when it was erected, who holds its chair, and where it stands among its neighbours.
The working record is not. The chancery's address, telephone and email, the clergy of the see, and the hours of Mass, confession and adoration in the parishes within it are kept for members, and a person reads every request.
