Our lowest population growth rate since the 1960s
Manila Bulletin
|August 05 2025
The recently proclaimed official population of the Philippines puts us at 112,727,484 Filipinos in the 2024 census, up from the 109,035,343 tallied in the 2020 census. While still an increase from the previous census, when viewed in terms of rates of similar population counts over the last 50 years, this represents a steady decline in our national population growth rate, falling below one percent to .08 percent for the first time from a high of 3.01 percent between 1960 to 1970.
Looking at the figures on a regional basis, all regions except one reported a decline in their growth rates. One region posted a negative growth rate of .07 percent, or apopulation decline. The official release of the Philippine Statistics Authority on its website will fill you in on these and other regional figures.
