SITUATION

Porac is believed to be the earliest town established in the

province of Pampanga. By 1853, the settlements in Porac
grew to six barangays namely Dolores, Mitla, Manibaug,
Pulung Santol, Pias y Pio, and Salu with a total population
of approximately 5,500 people. Currently, there are 29
barangays in Porac alone. Back in 2010, there were
111,190 people that are situated in Porac and 124,326
people back in 2015. What now is the estimated population
of Porac in the year 2020?

b⁵ = 1.12
⁵√ b⁵ = ⁵√1.12
b = 1.02

The growth factor is 1.02

RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM

Based on our research and methods used, we have found with ourselves a rough estimate of the
future total population of Porac. Our basis was on historical/previous data and analyzed it with
back tested analysis. It might be the least thing to do in these times, but it can help locals and
ministers to handle future obstructions. With the collected data, people can adjust for future
facilities, clinics and other habitual establishments. And to further acknowledge if resources can be
provided for the next generation.
