Preface

The need to integrate population concerns in development has long been recognized internationally and nationally. The
1967 UN Declaration of Population stated that the population problem is a principal element in long-range national
planning. This was seconded by the World Population Conference in Bucharest in1974 which stated in its World
Population Plan of Action that “the essential aim of the population program is the social, economic and cultural
development of countries; it recognizes that population variables and development are interdependent; and that
population policies and objectives are an integral part (constituent elements) of socioeconomic development policies.”

During the ICPD in 1994, the indisputable interrelationship of population and development (POPDEV) was given emphasis
in its Programme of Action. The ICPD articulated the need to meet the needs of individuals within the framework of
universally recognized human rights standards instead of merely meeting demographic goals. The adoption of this
Programme of Action marks a new phase of commitment and determination to effectively integrate population issues into
socioeconomic development proposals and to achieve a better quality of life for all individuals, including those of future
generations. Essentially, it promoted the integration of population factors in sustainable development initiatives.
Recognizing the interrelationships between population, sustained economic growth, and sustainable development is a key
element of the integrated strategy.

Recognizing the importance and necessity of integrating population dimensions in development initiatives and processes,
the PPMP will continue to adopt POPDEV integration as its key strategy. This key program component and strategy
essentially seeks to put people – their needs and aspirations – as the main consideration in developing policy and
program interventions. It promotes a mindset that explicitly recognizes people as the subject and object of development.

As a population management strategy, POPDEV integration is defined as the explicit consideration and integration of
population dynamics and dimensions in the critical steps of any development initiative, such as plan and program
development, policy formulation, database management and utilization, and other efforts that aim to improve, in a
sustainable manner, the development conditions of the people and the locality in which they live.

The strategy seeks, in the long term, to enable institutions to create an enabling environment for people to achieve their
development goals through a well-managed population. Having a well-managed population means the achievement of
population processes and outcomes that are consistent with, complementary to, and facilitative of socioeconomic and
human development. It is about making a connection between population factors and development initiatives to ensure
integrated and sustainable development. Explicitly integrating population into economic and development strategies will
both speed up the pace of sustainable development and poverty alleviation and contribute to the achievement of
population objectives and an improved quality of life of the population.

STATISTICAL SYSTEM AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES”
 Philippines Population 2019

108,372,773
The population of the Philippines has been steadily growing for many years. It is the 13th most populated country in
the world, between Mexico and Ethiopia, and grew at a rate of 1.72% between 2010 and 2015. The 2019 population
is 108.12 million, according to the latest UN estimates.

Philippines Area and Population Density

The country of the Philippines is an archipelago made up of over 7,000 islands that total 115,831 square miles
(300,000 square kilometers). Most of the islands are pretty small, but a few larger ones like Luzon and Mindanao
account for a large portion of the surface area.

The islands are broken up into three categories: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao - which are basically north, central
and south, respectively. While some islands are much more populated than others, the overall population density of
the Philippines is 939 people per square mile (363 people per square kilometer).

Largest Cities in the Philippines

The Philippines' largest city is Quezon City, which contains 2,936,116 people. It forms a part of the wider
Metropolitan Manila area, which is comprised of 17 cities and municipalities and has an overall population of 12.8
million people. To make things even more complicated, the entire Greater Manila urban area spills out beyond the
boundaries of Metro Manila and is reported to contain around 22.7 million people, which is a quarter of the
Philippines' entire population.

Other major cities include Manila itself (pop: 1,780,148), Caloocan (pop: 1.5 million) and Davao City (pop: 1.6
million.) Of these, only Davao City is outside of the Metropolitan Manila area.

Philippines Demographics
Unsurprisingly for a country that is made up of many islands, the Philippines contains a diverse range of ethnic
groups. The latest data available comes from the 2000 census, which reported the following breakdown:

 Tagalog, 28.1%
 Cebuano, 13.1%
 Ilocano, 9%
 Bisaya, 7.6%
 Hiligaynon, 7.5%
 Bikol, 6%
 Waray, 3.4%
 Other, 25.3%

Philippines Religion, Economy and Politics

Religion in the Philippines is heavily influenced by its history as a part of the Spanish Empire. As well as naming the
country after its King (Philip II), Spain also exported its religion, and today around 81% of the country's citizens are
Roman Catholic Christians. Of the remaining people, 11% are from other Christian denominations and around 5.6%
are Muslim, mainly based in the southwest area of the country.

Although the official language of the Philippines was, for many years, Spanish, the legacy of the American
administration during the first half of the 20th century has been that its two official languages today are English and
Filipino (derived from Tagalog.)

The recent 2015 estimates in the World Factbook give some insight into the developments across the Philippine
county. 91.8% have improved access to drinking water sources, while 8.2% of the population still struggle to obtain
safe water. In terms of sanitation facilities, only 77.9% of the population maintains access, while 26.1% are limited in
their sanitation services. Literacy is at 96.3% across the entire population, with a school expenditure of
approximately 2.7% of the national GDP.

Philippines Population History

The first census in the Philippines was held in 1591 and recorded a population of just 667,612 people.Japan already
had a population of 8 million at that time. The Philippines crossed the 1,000,000 threshold in the mid 18th century
and grew to nearly 8 million by 1900. It has seen steady growth throughout its recorded history until it's impressive
population of today.
In addition to the over 100 million Filipinos living in the Philippines itself, there are estimated to be around 10.2
million Filipino people living abroad. Many have moved abroad temporarily to find work, but others have settled
abroad permanently.

Given its close ties with America, it is not surprising that the United States is home to the largest group of overseas
Filipinos - over 3.5 million. There are also large Filipino populations in the Middle East (1 million in Saudi Arabia,
822,000 in the United Arab Emirates and 204,000 in Qatar), Malaysia(793,000), Japan (182,000)
and Australia (397,000.) Interestingly, only about 42,000 Filipinos live in Spain, the Philippines' old imperial master.

Philippines Population Growth

Based on 2015 census data, the population in 2016 in the Philippines was 100,981,437. Based on the 2015 census
results, the population increased by over 8 million people when compared to the 2010 census results. The growth
rate has slowed slightly from the previous census, down to 1.72% from 1.89%.

Philippines Population Projections

The notable rate of population increase in the Philippines is projected to slow in the future, but should still be
substantial. The current growth rate of 1.52% is projected to halve by 2050. The population is forecast to hit 110
million by 2020, and 125 million by 2030.

represent Caraga to the national contests sometime in February 2019.

The festival of talents is an innovative way to reach young people and involve them in the advocacy
while showcasing their skills and talents. POPCOM is conducting the project yearly in partnership
with the Department of Education, to reinforce their continuing advocacy for responsible sexuality and
healthy lifestyle among young people.
POPCOM EYES TEENS IN COMMUNITIES
Abilan, Buenavista – Amidst the challenges and pressing issues concerning the young people in the
region, Commission on Population and Development in this region, together with its program
partners, is continuously intensifying its implementation of various Adolescent Health and
Development (AHD) major strategies and interventions.

This February and March, POPCOM Caraga in partnership with the local government units, will
conduct AHD Caravan and SHAPE (Sexually Healthy and Personally Effective) Mobile Academy in
areas of Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Sur and Agusan del Sur.

POPCOM will showcase its major activities under the AHD like the Parent-Teen Talk, U4U Teen Trail,
and AHD Film Dissemination as among the highlights of the caravan.

The partner agencies of POPCOM in the implementation of the program will sign the Partnership
Agreement first, an agreement to create and mobilize Information and Service Delivery Network
(ISDN) for AHD.

POPCOM INTENSIFIES CAMPAIGN FOR FAMILY PLANNING

Abilan, Buenavista-  The  Commission on Population heightens its advocacy on empowering
families through a massive and integrated campaign for modern family planning in time of the
Population and Development  (POPDEV)  Week celebration.

The celebration is another opportunity for the government to work on the advancement of family
planning in promoting the welfare of Filipino families  as its theme focused on  “Informed Choice in
Family Planning Towards Empowered Filipino Families”.

In its various  activities for the celebration,   POPCOM-Caraga pointed-out the significant role of a
responsible parent as the foundation of healthy, happy, prosperous, and empowered Filipino families
which will translate into safe and progressive communities.

Likewise, the Provincial/City Population Officers continuously conducted the Responsible Parenting-
Family Planning Classes at the barangay level.  These demand generation activities emphasized that
shared responsibilities between husband and wife in managing family affairs including family planning
is crucial to maintain harmonious marital relationships.

The celebration of Population and Development Week every  November 23 to 29 of the year is 
pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 76. 

The theme specified the importance of empowering couples and individuals to achieve their desired
timing, spacing, and number of children within the demands of responsible parenthood, through
informed choice and voluntarism.

Director Alexander A. Makinano of POPCOM-Caraga stressed that couples are given the informed
choices on what family planning method to use in planning  responsibly the number and spacing of
their children in accordance with their religious beliefs and convictions.

NATIONAL POPULATION QUIZ: TO GAUGE HIGH SCHOOL

STUDENTS’ LEARNINGS ON POPULATION, HEALTH AND
DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
 A total of 2,077 high school students from both public and private secondary schools nationwide will compete in
the 2015 National Festival of Talents (NFOT), including the National Population Quiz (Pop Quiz). The event, slated on
April 7-10, 2015 in Makati will feature the students’ skills on essay writing, poster making, jingle writing and singing,
journalism, broadcasting, and foreign language.
  
The Population Quiz as an advocacy tool of the Commission on Population (POPCOM), aims to heighten
awareness among the Filipino youth on their sexuality and reproductive health issues, which were highlighted in the
recently conducted Young Adult Fertility Survey (YAFS 4) and released by UPPI in 2014.
 
The YAFS 4 surveyed a total of 18,547 households from 681 cities and municipalities covering the 78 provinces
nationwide. Total respondents for the survey were about 19,178 representing male and female group with ages 15-24
years old. In 2014, POPCOM conducted a nationwide information dissemination of YAFS regional results, highlighting
distinct regional characteristics such as youth’s involvement in drugs and alcohol, early sexual encounters, unprotected
first pre-marital sex as well as other risky sexual activities.
 
In addressing the issues faced by the youth today, former Executive Director Tomas Osias reiterated that
POPCOM, together with the Department of Health (DOH) and Department of Education (DepEd) should take a closer look
into the provisions of the RP-RH Law, especially, the provisions that have an impact on the health and development of the
young people. Moreover, operationalizing the integration of RP-RH concerns in the curriculum development, both at the
national and local levels, still remains a challenge as harmonization of strategies of the different government agencies at
the national level is still being worked out. These strategies, for instance the Population Quiz, encompass the knowledge
on the rights to access appropriate information which could be gained within or outside of the classroom setting. 

The NFOT is a collaboration of the Commission on Population (POPCOM) and the Department of Education (DepEd) at
the national and regional level, with the cooperation of the University of the Philippines Population Institute (UPPI). #

Sustainable Development Goals

In September 2015, the United Nations Member States adopted a new global plan of action entitled, “Transforming Our
World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”  The 2030 Agenda, its 17 Goals and 169 targets are a universal
set of goals and targets that aim to stimulate people-centered and planet-sensitive change.

The 193 member states of the United Nations (UN) gathered to affirm commitments towards ending all forms of
poverty, fighting inequalities and increasing country’s productive capacity, increasing social inclusion and curbing climate
change and protecting the environment while ensuring that no one is left behind over the next fifteen years.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets are integrated and indivisible, global in nature and universally
applicable, and take into account different national realities, capacities and levels of development and respecting
national policies and priorities.  Each government are expected to take ownership and establish national frameworks,
set nationally-owned targets guided by the global level of ambition but taking into account country-level circumstances
for the achievement of the 17 goals.  Countries will also decide how these aspirational and global targets should be
incorporated in national planning processes, policies and strategies. 

In monitoring the SDGs and its corresponding targets, the UN Statistical Commission established an Inter-Agency and
Expert Group on SDG Indicators (IAEG-SDG), which developed the SDG global indicator framework consisting of 232
unique indicators.

In line with the Philippines' commitment in achieving the SDGs, the PSA Board issued PSA Resolution No. 04 Series of
2016, Enjoining Government Agencies to Provide Data Support to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  In this
Resolution, all concerned government agencies are enjoined to provide the necessary data support to monitor the
country's performance vis-à-vis the SDGs based on the indicator framework that shall be determined by NEDA, PSA and
other government agencies.  Further, the Resolution designated the PSA as the official repository of SDG indicators in
the Philippines.
