Marriages to August are 3.8% lower than 2023, births to September are 11.6% lower than 2023, and deaths to May are 0.8% higher than 2023 levels. NCR births to November have dropped 31% since 2019.
"Death registrations are only provided for January to November and appear very incomplete despite already 4 months’ worth of late registrations compiled in 2025. Are death registrations being withheld?"
They appear to be withheld in Scotland.

Newly released data raises concern over accuracy of excess death calculations.
This article on pregnancy loss in Israel may be of use to you, Sally.
I have heard that pregnancy loss / birthrate was less affected in Israel than in other comparable countries. Is there any data to confirm this claim? On the face of it, this would be surprising if true, as Israel was heavily vaccinated.
This may be a dumb question, but could the steady rise in deaths due to ischemic heart diseases be attributable, at least in part, to the change in lifestyle brought about by the mandated lockdowns? It does seem that many folk are less active now.
I am sure there are multiple contributing factors to the rising cardiovascular deaths. Cardiovascular deaths have been rapidly rising in PH since even before the pandemic.
High blood pressure, renal failure, diabetes (often undiagnosed, and usually under-managed) are also common.
Cardiovascular cause may also be assumed in the case of sudden deaths, regardless of actual cause, as autopsy or even post mortem blood testing / imaging to determine cause is simply beyond financial capacity of most families in the Philippines.
Cerebrovascular deaths are not up, which would be unexpected considering known vaccine impacts. Again, this may be more a reflection of assumed causes of death than clearly identified causes.

Deaths in Scotland are still running at "pandemic" levels according to cremation data, when official figures put deaths abnormally low.
