Quiapo is home to the Golden Mosque and the Quiapo Church, emphasizing the ethno-religious interactions of Muslims and Christians. Establishing from a modified version of the Katz and Braly (1933) trait list, this study aims to (1) share a profile of the ethno-religious stereotypes and self-ethno-religious stereotypes of the two ethno-religious groups, (2) determine the uniformity indices, (3) assess the positivity/negativity of the indices, (4) compare and differentiate their profiles of ethno-religious stereotypes and self-ethno-religious stereotypes, (5) compare and differentiate the uniformity indices of their ethno-religious stereotypes and self-ethno-religious stereotypes, and (6) compare and differentiate the positivity/negativity of the indices of their ethno-religious stereotypes and self-ethno-religious stereotypes. This study determines whether the two ethno-religious groups differ in how they create their own and each other's stereotypes, and provides the foundational data needed to comprehend the relationships between these same ethno-religious groups.
