According to the 2000 Census, the population of the Philippines was 76,504,077.{{cite web], who are genetically akin to Andamanese islanders and constitute a distinct stock, are the Indigenous peoples of the Philippines, number somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 people (

Various degrees of interracial marriage between ethnic groups have resulted in the formation of a new vibrant class of peoples, collectively known as Filipino mestizos. According to a Stanford University small-n study, only about 3.6% of all Filipinos have European genes, most probably Spanish people. On the other hand, according to a recent survey, European :Category:Expatriates in the Philippines number about 13,661, excluding Spaniards and Basque people. About 40 Russians and 160 Ukrainians families live in Metro Manila. Most of the Ukrainians are specialists employed in the petrochemical industry.{{cite web|url=http://www.orthodox.org.ph/content/view/583/1/|title=Orthodox Christians in Philippines|publisher=Orthodox Church in the Philippines|accessdate=2007-09-01-->

Languages A total of one hundred seventy-two native languages and dialects are spoken, all belonging to the Austronesian languages. Since 1939, in an effort to develop national unity, the government has promoted the use of the official national language, Tagalog language, later renamed Filipino language to further dissociate its status as an ethnic language. Visayan languages (also called Bisaya or Binisaya) are widely spoken throughout the middle islands known as the Visayans and in many areas of Mindanao.

English language is the predominant non-native language. Other foreign languages spoken are Chinese language (Lan-nang) and Cantonese Chinese, among the Chinese and Chinese-mestizo population; Arabic language and Malay among some members of the Muslim population; and Spanish language in the Philippines preserved and spoken by some families within the Spanish-mestizo minority.

Most Filipinos speak at least two languages. Many speak three or more fluently. Most children begin studying Filipino and English when they start kindergarten, regardless of what their local language is.

Religion According to the 2000 Census, 81.04% of all Filipinos are Roman Catholicism in the Philippines, 5.06% are adherents of Islam in the Philippines, and 2.82% are Protestants in the Philippines. The remaining 11.08% include the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ - 2.3%), Philippine Independent Church (2%), Mormon (.5%), as well as those of other religions, such as Buddhism in the Philippines and Hinduism in the Philippines (3%).

Roman Catholics and Protestants were converted during over four centuries of Western domination by Spain and the United States. Under Spanish rule, the majority of the population converted to Roman Catholicism. Roman Catholicism still subsists as a major religion. Often still, Catholic Filipinos mix Catholic beliefs and traditions with beliefs in ghosts and other spirits.

Many Philippine Orthodox Church Christians also live in Philippines, some Orthodox families having lived continuously in the country for more than 200 years. Today, the Orthodox Church in The Philippines counts among its membership 520 Filipino Members and about 40 expats.

Protestant Christianity arrived in the Philippines during the late 19th century and the early 20th century, introduced mostly by American missionaries. (See also: Protestants in the Philippines.)

Islam was brought to the Sulu Archipelago in the 9th century by Makhdum Karim, an Arab trader, and to Mindanao island by Rajah Kabungsuwan, a Malaccan nobleman. From then onwards, Muslim princes carried on expeditions to propagate Islam. While Islam was easily displaced among the peoples of Luzon and the Visayas, it gained a stronghold in Mindanao. (See also: Islam in the Philippines.)

Other religions include Mahayana Buddhism (see Buddhism in the Philippines), followed by many Filipinos of Chinese descent. It is often mixed with Taoist and Confucianist beliefs, and Hinduism and Sikhism, followed by Filipinos of Indo-Aryan descent.

Animism is still prevalent among the highland peoples of Cordillera and Mindanao.

Education The Philippines' literacy rate was pegged at 92.28%, males at 92.10% and females at 92.47%. Literacy was defined by the Census 2000 to be a person 10 years or older, having the capability to read and write. Manila has the highest literacy rate, which was pegged at 98.14%. Other|date=February 18, 2003|accessdate=2007-07-12--> Two-thirds of the estimated 34,000,000 people who are 6 to 24 years old were attending school from June 2003 to March/April 2004.

Demographic history The first census in the Philippines was done on 1591, based on tributes collected. Based on this tribute counting, there were about 666,712 people in the islands. On 1600, this method was revamped by the Spanish officials, who then based the counting of the population through church records. On 1799, a certain Fr. Manuel Buzeta estimated the population count as 1,502,574. However, the first official census was conducted only in 1878, when the population as of midnight on December 31, 1877 was counted. This was followed by two more censuses, namely, the 1887 census, and the 1898 census. The 1887 census yielded a count of 5,984,727, while that of 1898 yielded 5,279,955.

1903 census In 1903 the population of the Philippines was recounted by American authorities to fulfill Act 467. The survey yielded 7,635,426 people, including 56,138, who were foreign-born. In the 100 years since the 1903 census, the population has grown by a factor of eleven. This represents a much faster rate of growth than other countries in the region (e.g. Indonesia has grown fivefold over the same period).

Between 1903 and 1941 1939 This census was undertaken in conformity with Section 1 of C. A. 170. It was the first taken under the Commonwealth government with Census day on January 1. The Philippine population figure was 16,000,303.

1941 In 1941 the estimated population of the Philippines reached 17,000,000. Manila's population was 684,000.

The number of China living on the island had risen to 117,000. If figures are correct, then Chinese population (including immigration) has grown significantly faster than the native population. There were also around 30,000 Japanese living in the Philippines, with some 20,000 of them residing in Davao City, and 9,000 United States lived in Luzon.

By then, some 27% of the population could speak English as a second language, while the number of those able to speak Spanish had further fallen to 3%. Tagalog language has been the official language since 1937 until that status was given to Filipino (which de facto remains Tagalog), though more people spoke Cebuano at the time.

Successive surveys On 1960, the government of the Philippines conducted a survey on both population and housing. The population was pegged at 27,087,685. Successive surveys were again conducted on 1970, 1975, 1980, and 1990, which gave the population as 36,684,9486, 42,070,660, 48,098,460, and 60,703,206 respectively. On 1995, the POPCEN was launched, undertaken at the month of September, The data provided the bases for the Internal Revenue Allocation to local government units and for the creation of new legislative areas. The count was made official by then President Fidel Ramos by Proclamation No, 849 on August 14, 1995, The population was 68,616,536.
