That’s not all, three other major cities in the country are included in the top 100:

16. Baguio, PH: 82 selfie-takers per 100,000 people
59. Quezon City, PH: 44 selfie-takers per 100,000 people
72. Iloilo, PH: 36 selfie-takers per 100,000 people

“The photos were downloaded from the Instagram API in two sets of five days: from Jan. 28-Feb.2, 2014 and Mar. 3-7, 2014. Each day’s data consists of the 24-hour period from midnight to midnight to account for all time zones equally. During that time, 402,197 Instagram photos tagged “selfie” that included geographic coordinates. That only accounts for a fraction of all selfies uploaded during that time since the majority of photos do not include a location.”
