Jainism Search Trends

Query: Jainism

Some comments:

1) Am surprised to see Philippines as no. 2 Jainism search query originator
2) Seems like Mumbai has maximum search queries (and maximum Jains too?)
3) Tagalog (???) is the most preferred language for Jainism search.
4) Interestingly though not surprisingly during Paryushan times, there are maximum number of search queries.


Now if I look for the query Jain:

1) Maximum search in English and I don't see Phillipines in the Region list??


This doesn't look right. So looking into the details, I found that Tagalog is the language of Filipinos. I still couldn't figure out what does the word "Jainism" translates to in Phillipines.
