Bohol - Population
According to the 2000 census, there are a total of 1,137,268 Boholanos or Bol-anon, as the residents of Bohol call themselves. The same census also states that Bohol has 209,588 households with an average household size of 5.41 persons, significantly higher than the national average of 4.99. The annual growth rate is 2.92%, higher than the national growth rate of 2.36%. With this growth rate, Bohol's population will double in 24 years.
Life expectancy at birth is estimated at 68.19 for the males and 72.93 for the females for the period 2000–2005. This is lower than that of Cebu but higher than that of Negros Oriental and Siquijor.
Bohol - Native Languages
The main language spoken in Bohol is Boholano, a dialect of Cebuano. Tagalog is also spoken by many of the residents.
Bohol - Religion
The majority of the population is Roman Catholic. Adherents of other Christian sects like the Protestants and Iglesia ni Cristo account for a significant part of the remainder. The Philippine Independent Church that was founded by a native Gregorio Aglipay started its roots in Bohol. The main difference between the Aglipay Church and the Roman Catholic Church is the former does not recognize the authority of Rome. The two are very similar in structure and form. Another distinct difference is an Aglipay priest is allowed to marry in stark contrast with the Roman Catholic Church.
