PHILIPPINES’ population has grown to 92.3 million from the
latest census of the National Statistics Office in 2010.
Cagayan de Oro contributed 602,088 to the total population figures with an increase of 15.31% from the 2007 census.
Current statistics reflect that almost half of the city populations that live in the urban center of our city come from Carmen district as the fastest growth area.
With a city population expected to grow closer to the 1 million mark in the next 5 years, the danger of informal settlers growing the same rate with the city population cannot be discounted.
The latest census for Manila 2 years ago has a population of 16 million. According to the Asian Development Bank report in 2010, the Manila informal settler’s ratio is “showing an increasing pattern with the other urban cities of the Philippines”.
It shows little indication of changing over the years. Government has acknowledged that the influx of migration and shortage of housing contributed to this factor.
