The average yearly temperature is around 26.6 °C (79.9 °F). In considering
temperature, location in terms of latitude and longitude is not a significant factor.
Whether in the extreme north, south, east, or west of the country, temperatures at sea
level tend to be in the same range. Altitude usually has more of an impact. The average
annual temperature of Baguio at an elevation of 1,500 meters (4,900 ft) above sea level
is 18.3 °C (64.9 °F), making it a popular destination during hot summers.

Climate vs. Weather
Climate and weather are not the same.
Climate is the average of these weather ingredients over many years. Some
meteorologists say that "climate is what you expect; weather is what you get".
A weather sample:
Manila:
SUN 09.02.2014
Few clouds
Max: 33.6°C
Min: 24.2°C
Risk of precip.: 20 %
Wind 10.8 km/h ENE
Gusts up 19.4 km/h
A climate sample:
Over the course of a year, the temperature typically varies from 22°C in January
to 34°C in May.
The relative humidity typically ranges from 51% (mildly humid) to 97% (very
humid). The air is driest in April and most humid in August.
The 4 climates
The Climate of the Philippines is either tropical rainforest, tropical savanna or
tropical monsoon, or humid subtropical (in higher-altitude areas) characterized
by relatively high temperature, oppressive humidity and plenty of rainfall.
There are two seasons in the country, the wet season and the dry season, based
upon the amount of rainfall. This is dependent as well on your location in the
country as some areas experience rain all throughout the year (see Climate
Types).
The seven warmest months of the year are from March to October. The winter
monsoon brings cooler air from November to February. May is the warmest
month, and January, the coolest.
There are four recognized climate types in the Philippines, and they are based on
the distribution of rainfall. They are described as follows:
Type I.. Two pronounced season: dry from November to April and wet during the
rest of the year.
Type II. No dry season with a pronounced rainfall from November to January.
Type III. Seasons are not very pronounced, relatively dry from November to
April, and wet during the rest of the year.
There are three recognized seasons: Tag-init or Tag-araw (the hot season or
summer from March to May), Tag-ulan (the rainy season from June to November),
and Taglamig (the cold season from December to February).
These seasons can seriously get mixed up by the El Niño / La Niña effects. El
Niño brings dry weather and even droughts. La Niña stands for rainy weather and
floods.

The current population in the Philippines is about 110 million people. The annual population
growth rate has decreased significantly since 1960 where it was 3.3% to now where it is about
1.3%.
The fertility rate in the Philippines has also decreased significantly over the years. In 1969, the
fertility rate was 6.4 children per woman. Today, the fertility rate is 2.1 children per woman. Part
of the reason for this is the increased use of contraceptives and modern family planning methods.
With about 2 million people added to the population every year, the population is expected to
double in about 40 years.
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%.

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.

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%
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.
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.
