"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you and lo, I am with you always even to the end of the age."
(Matthew 28:19-20)

Short History
"For a decade we piously embraced the Orthodox Faith, yet little did we realize that no canonical Orthodox jurisdiction has ever embraced us!"
A period of twelve long years since 1983 was filled with thrills and challenges. Our spiritual journey, along with arduous research and painful struggles, was nonetheless edifying. The plight led us providentially to the Great Church of Jesus Christ. Our prayers and petition were heard. Our group leader received sacerdotal formation from His Grace Bishop Sotirios of Zela (now Metropolitan of Korea) and, in God's time, Rev. Father Philemon was canonically ordained to the priesthood by His Eminence Metropolitan Dionysios of New Zealand at St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral in Seoul, Korea, on April 2, 1995. On the following Sunday, during the Patriarchal Liturgy, Fr. Philemon received a warm embrace of love from His All Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew I. A heartfelt assurance!
"We have found the 'Pearl of Great Price'; we are Home; no more orphans but true brothers and sisters to some 300 million Orthodox Christians worldwide and having the same spiritual father - the fervent supplicant before God - the Ecumenical Patriarch; and I am clothed with a robe of gladness, and I am just beginning to do the tasks properly and orderly," Fr. Philemon said .

Orthodox Metropolitanate of Hong Kong and South East Asia,

At the end of 1996, the Holy Sacred Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate decided the creation of a new Metropolitanate, the one of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia and on January 12, 1997, the Enthronment of His Eminence Metropolitan Nikitas took place at the Orthodox Cathedral of St. Luke, Stanley Fort, Hong Kong. The Orthodox Church of the Philippines was assigned to this Metropolitanate.
