Growth trend

At an annual growth rate of 1.54%, Philippines adds roughly 1,806,995 people per year. If that rate held steady, the population would reach about 136,712,408 in ten years and double in roughly 45 years. Real growth rarely stays constant, so treat these figures as a simple projection rather than a forecast.
