THE Philippine population may balloon to 142 million by 2045, based on projections of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).

“This increase in numbers would take place even if the average annual growth rate is projected to decline significantly, from 1.73 percent during 2010-2015 to 0.65 percent during 2040 to 2045,” it said, noting that the population grew by 1.9 percent annually from 2000 to 2010.
