According to the World Health Organisation, 30 to 33 percent of men aged 15 or over are circumcised worldwide but the figure is much higher in Philippines at 93% where the majority of the population is Roman Catholic.
The Filipino government funds the annual tradition to ensure that operations are conducted hygienically.
In Marikana city which lies east of the capital, Manila, 300 boys took part in the tradition this week at a local school.
They are encouraged to wear loose, shirt-like clothing after the procedure.
Five years ago 1,500 boys were circumcised on the same day in Marikina City but the Guinness Book of Records rejected an application 'due to hygiene considerations and risks'.

This is barbaric and out-dated considering the pain the boys go through.They should stop it immediately

The best time for circumcision is within 10days of birth then their no veins. In Canada, circumcision is considered cosmetics so parents can either do it or not.
