The final result of the latest Census of Population (POPCEN 2007) conducted by the National Statistics Office (NSO) placed the Antique population at 515,265 persons as of August 1, 2007 or an average annual population growth rate of 1.19 percent from year 2000 count of  472,822 persons.  The registered growth rate is lower than that of 1995-2000 annual population growth rate of 1.97 percent. 

The capital municipality of San Jose had the largest population with 54,871.  The neighboring municipalities of Sibalom and Hamtic followed with 53,934 and 42,375, respectively.  The northern municipality of Culasi came fourth with 37,100.  The combined population of these four municipalities comprised more than one-third (37%) of the provincial population. 

Only the municipalities of Libertad and Belison had less than 15,000 population with 14,653 and 12,467, respectively.   

Under existing laws, a congressional district could be carved out of a contiguous area which has a population of at least 250,000.  Based on this, the province is eligible to have one additional district.

The Philippine population was counted at 88.57 million with an annual population growth rate of 2.04 percent– the lowest recorded for the Philippines since the 1960s.

NSO conducted the census last year pursuant to Batas Pambansa Blg. 72 and Commonwealth Act 591.  286 field workers were deployed in Antique and about 40,000 in the entire country to visit every single household for listing and population count.

Final counts by barangay are available at the NSO Antique website http://nsoantique.100free.com.

	No to political Dynasty......Give for An Only 250,000 inhabitants are required for each Congressional District. With the current 500,000 population of Antique we are now eligible for 2 representation in the house of representatives. This would mean additional P60 million pesos worth of Pork Barrel each year. But I do hope that this money would not be placed on the pockets on our supposedly leaders...My fellow Antiqueño check the annual income of Aklan, Capiz, and Ilo-Ilo provinces excluding the HUC's. I doubt why projects move to slow in our province inspite of its income. I just encourage you all to become more dynamic, proactive, and vigilant member of our society. Just how Libertad threw out its Political Dynasty...lets us all pave way for new leaders...I do not mean to target or hurtmembers of any Political Dynasty, I am just for a change...so are you too? I am a young adult, and I know my rights. The most powerful is the freedom of expression and the right of sufrage...I know election will still be 2 years to go...but let us think, who the governor, congressman, mayor of my grandfather, father, is he/she still holding the same post today? Is there a difference the way our society is handled? With the new era of globalization, have our ordinary kasimanwa cope up with it. Its one step at a time, but if we have taken our first step May 14 last year, that's 381 days of change as of today...But its not late yet.....come to think of it! Registered Report
