Secular priests in the Philippines are clergy who serve within dioceses under the authority of a bishop, as opposed to being part of a religious order. They are ordained ministers who minister to the faithful, administer sacraments, and nurture spiritual growth. They play a vital role in the Catholic Church's mission in the Philippines.
