This book presents the first complete census of the Philippines conducted in line with American standards, occurring in 1903 after the establishment of peace following the Philippine-American War. Directed by the Philippine Commission, the census was carried out by Filipinos, led by local officials, and is notable for including data on the non-Christian and wild tribes of the archipelago. Drawing from historical records, missionary accounts, and contemporary observations, the author provides a comprehensive account of the Philippine people, their origins, and their way of life. His work touches on topics as varied as language, education, agriculture, and mortality, while simultaneously exploring the cultural and social practices of the time. The result is a detailed and multifaceted portrait of the Philippines at the turn of the 20th century, a point of transition between centuries of Spanish rule and the burgeoning American influence.
