Notes
The Philippines Population (Live) counter shows a continuously updated estimate of the current
population of the Philippines delivered by Worldometers' RTS algorithm, which processes data collected
from the United Nations Population Division.
The Population of the Philippines (1950 - 2017) chart plots the total population count as of July 1 of each
year, from 1950 to 2017.
The Yearly Population Growth Rate chart plots the annual percentage changes in population registered
on July 1 of each year, from 1951 to 2017. This value can differ from the Yearly % Change shown in the
historical table, which shows the last year equivalent percentage change assuming homogeneous change
in the preceding five year period.
Definitions
Year: as of July 1 of the year indicated.
Population: Overall total population (both sexes and all
ages) in the country as of July 1 of the year indicated,

RELIGION
Religion holds a central place in the life of most Filipinos, including Catholics, Muslims,
Buddhists, Protestants, and animists. It is central not as an abstract belief system, but rather
as a host of experiences, rituals, ceremonies, and adjurations that provide continuity in life,
cohesion in the community, and moral purpose for existence. Religious associations are
part of the system of kinship ties, patronclient bonds, and other linkages outside the nuclear
family.
Christianity and Islam have been superimposed on ancient traditions and acculturated. The
unique religious blends that have resulted, when combined with the strong personal faith of
Filipinos, have given rise to numerous and diverse revivalist movements. Generally
characterized by millenarian goals, antimodern bias, supernaturalism, and authoritarianism
in the person of a charismatic messiah figure, these movements have attracted thousands of
Filipinos, especially in areas like Mindanao, which have been subjected to extreme
pressure of change over a short period of time. Many have been swept up in these
movements, out of a renewed sense of fraternity and community. Like the highly visible
examples of flagellation and reenacted crucifixion in the Philippines, these movements
may seem to have little in common with organized Christianity or Islam. But in the
intensely personalistic Philippine religious context, they have not been aberrations so much
as extreme examples of how religion retains its central role in society.
The religious composition of the Philippines remained predominantly Catholic in the late
1980s. In 1989 approximately 82 percent of the population was Roman Catholic; Muslims
accounted for only 5 percent. The remaining population was mostly affiliated with other
Christian churches, although there were also a small number of Buddhists, Daoists (or
Taoists), and tribal animists. Christians were to be found throughout the archipelago.
Muslims remained largely in the south and were less integrated than other religious
minorities into the mainstream of Philippine culture. Although most Chinese were
members of Christian churches, a minority of Chinese worshipped in Daoist or in Buddhist
temples, the most spectacular of which was an elaborate Daoist temple on the outskirts of
Cebu.
The various ethnic groups in the Philippines identify themselves based on one or
several factors like ancestry, language, religion or a shared history. The large majority
of the population is composed of lowland groups whose languages are Austronesian,
and who had converted to Christianity from animism, Hinduism, or Islam in the three
centuries of Spanish colonial rule. From north to south, the most numerous of these
groups are the Ilocanos, the Pangasinenses, the Kapampangans, the Tagalogs,
the Bicolanos and the Bisaya. These groups are sometimes said to part of
the Austronesian race, however the delineation based on "race" is considered by many
to have no scientific basis.
In Mindanao, there are several ethnic groups of similar ancestry, but whose religion
is Islam, and whose culture is not as “Westernized” on the surface as that of the
Christian Filipinos. They are collectively called Moros. There are also various tribal
groupsthroughout the Philippine archipelago who are generally neither Muslim nor
Christian, and are least influenced by Islamic or western cultures. There also exist
groups whose members are not concentrated in one specific region but who are spread
throughout the country, particularly in major cities as well as in areas having
considerable agricultural importance during the colonial period; these groups include
the Chinese and the Spanish, the majority of whom are mestizos.
Kevin
The Philippines is made up of over 7,100 islands. With so many islands and over 16 regions, we have
different kinds of cultural practices. Although we traditionally follow most practices since the pre-
Spanish period but keep up with the modern practices, several indigenous tribes have managed to keep
their cultural identity alive.
Many of the tribes in the Philippines still live in their original ancestral land and practice traditions, while
most modern Filipinos keep only the values like hospitality, love for family and God. Here are a few of the
indigenous tribes that have kept the culture of the Filipinos
Badjao
The tribe of Badjao resides in the islands of Sulu, one of the islands in Mindanao. They are sea-faring
people. They are known for their artistically-woven, colorful sails. A majority of the Badjaos practice
Islam, while a few of them have animalistic beliefs. They still believe in a medium, a person mediating
between them and the gods.
Igorots
The Igorots are comprised of many tribes that reside in the Cordillera mountain ranges. They are known
to be rice-cultivators. In fact, the Ifugaos, a variety of the Igorot tribe built the Banaue Rice Terraces, one
of the most famous historical and architectural attractions in
Ilongot
This tribe resides in the east mountains of Luzon called Sierra Madre. Many anthropologists and
historians find the Ilongot society to be interesting. There is equality between men and women, and
both parents usually take motherly roles.
Lumad
Lumad is a term used to refer to the tribes comprising the eastern parts of Mindanao. They are known
for tribal music that makes use of unique instruments they have constructed.
Mangyan
The Mangyans of Mindoro are one of the most popular tribes in the Philippines. Among all the existing
tribes in the Philippines, they have the largest population. They practice ancient hunting and animalist
religious views, although about 10% have been converted to Christianity
Palawan Tribes
The region of Palawan is house to a number of tribes. Palawan is one of the regions in the Philippines
that has not completely embraced urbanism, thus making it perfect as residence to many of the
indigenous people. Most of the Palawan tribes live on fishing and hunting.
Tumadok
The Tumadok tribe is probably one of the very few tribes existing in the Visayas region. They usually
reside in the Panay Island. They have kept their traditions strictly until now, probably because of their
geographical location. They are separated from the other residents with a series of mountain ranges.
It is wonderful to see that there are still many of these existent tribes in the Philippines. While they
grow less and less in number because some tribe members choose to embrace modernity, many of these
tribes strive to keep their cultural traditions alive.
Most of the tribes keep their traditions through art. For instance, the Igorots still do farming and
cultivation, and most of them wear their woven cloth costume. The Ifugaos are very much attractive to
many Filipinos and foreigners because of their unusual costume, especially the males who wear
something similar to a G-string. The Badjaos are known for their colorful sails and even until now, you
would see their boats artistically sailing in the
The Philippine government exerted effort in protecting the historical lands of these tribes. During the
late World War period, many of these tribes lost their lands to realtors. Because of this, their population
made a sudden drop. In order to retain their beautiful culture, the government extended help in
preserving artifacts and continuing their traditions. In the past it was quite hard to do, but with the help
of Non-government organizations (NGOs), the tribes were able to combine modernity and still keep their
traditions alive.
If you are travelling to the Philippines, you probably would see a few of these tribes. The Igorots of the
Cordillera usually associate with people. However, some tribes like the Mangyans of Mindoro are
secluded in their lands and you have to travel to them if you want to see their ways of living. Many
foreigners enjoy immersing in their special culture because of its complexity and uniqueness.
