The Philippines saw a gradual increase in life expectancy from 66 years in 1990 to 72 years by 2019, driven by improvements in healthcare access, reduced child mortality, and economic growth. The stabilization at 70–71 years from the mid-2000s highlights the need to address healthcare disparities and the rising burden of non-communicable diseases. A temporary decline to 69 years in 2021 reflects recent challenges, but recovery to 72 years in 2022 shows progress.
