PSA counts 'Cebuano' and 'Bisaya/Binisaya' as separate census categories, so the true Cebuano-speaking total is higher than the Cebuano row alone.

When not to rely on this
- · Legal, medical or financial documents.
- · Anything going into print or public signage.
- · Names, addresses and place names — these are passed through or mangled unpredictably.
- · Regional Ilocano vocabulary outside the Ilocos Norte/Sur standard.
- · Anything where formality or respect matters, given the register drift above.
