How Many? The Philippines has a large population consisting of approximately 100 million individuals. Although, this does not compare to its fairly close Asian neighbours, China and India.
These two nations hold the top two largest populations on the planet. India having about 1.2 billion people, while China ranking number one, having approximately 1.4 billion people within its borders.
Comparing western nations, such as Canada and the UK, with the population of the Philippines, it is still an outstanding difference. Canada having a population of about 35 million people and the UK having almost double that, with around 63 million people. When combining the numbers of these two western nations, it still does not surpass the population of the Philippines! 
The total population of Filipinos with permanent residency in Canada is around 500,000 individuals, with most choosing to live in the province of Ontario.
