Hi. I'm an graduate student at Ohio University. I'm currently working on an infographic about population density in the Philippines from 1880s to the present. What I need is a raw data (Excel or any spreadsheet format) of the population of the cities and municipalities from the time period mentioned above (or the earliest record the government has). See the attached example of heat map of 2010 population density. This is per province -- but what I intend to do is a more detailed one. That's why I need the data of cities and municipalities. Thanks, Adonis
