This paper presents the gastrointestinal helminths of sheep and goats reported to be present in the Philippines. The humid tropical environment of the country favors the development of parasites. Attempts to break the life cycle of the parasites through management procedures to control their spread met limited success in smallhold farms. The most essential part of parasite control programs is the use of anthelmintics. Filipino workers have relied on the imported drugs for control. These dewormers proved effective, but current status is unknown in terms of drug resistance, which is very possible. Researchers have also looked into the anthelmintic value of indigenous medicinal herbs
