According to Philippine Statistics Authority or PSA as of Aug 1 2015 (released May 19 2016), Lipa City is now the most populated among the cities and municipalities of Batangas with 332,386 residents which pushed down Batangas City, capital of Batangas, to #2 spot with 329,874.
Two years ago, I wrote an article in Lipa City Philippines group or LCP that Lipa City will soon become the most populated city of Batangas between 2017 and 2018 but it happened earlier than calculated based on the 3.11% annual growth of Lipa.
With heavy traffic and longer rush hour, multiple new subdivisions from low cost to high end, new commercial establishments that are sprouting like mushrooms and expanding commercial areas of Lipa City, there's no doubt that Lipa has surpassed the capital city of Batangas in terms of population while Lipa remained to be the most commercialized area of Batangas.
At baranggay level, Sta Maria in Sto Tomas pulled up on top as the most populated with 27,843 residents while Sabang stepped down to #2 with 23,535 residents followed by Santa Rita Karsada of Batangas City with 18,276.
I am excited to know the plans of the local government of Lipa in the next 3 years to improve the peace and order of the city, traffic, waste management, readiness for natural calamities and other programs & developments in Lipa considering rush of people coming in the city to work, study and reside.
Thanks for sharing complete population statistics of Lipa City, I need it for research.
