Seven major [[Filipinos|Philippine]] [[Ethnolinguistics|ethnolinguistic]] groups predominate Luzon. [[Ilocano people|Ilocanos]] and [[Pangasinan people|Pangasinenses]] dominate northern Luzon, particularly in the [[Ilocos Region]] to parts of the [[Cagayan Valley]], while [[Kapampangan people|Kapampangans]], [[Tagalog people|Tagalogs]], Ilocanos, and [[Sambal people|Sambals]] populate [[Central Luzon]]. [[Tagalog people|Tagalog]]s dominate the [[Metro Manila|National Capital Region]], [[Calabarzon]] and the island provinces of [[Marinduque]], [[Mindoro]] and extending to parts of [[Palawan]] and northern [[Bicol Peninsula]], while [[Bicolano people|Bicolanos]] populate the [[Bicol Region|Bicol peninsula]]. [[Visayans]], such as [[Masbateño people|Masbateños]], [[Romblomanon people|Romblomanons]], [[Waray people|Waray]] [[Southern Sorsogon language|Sorsogonons]], [[Cuyunon people|Cuyunons]], mainly populate in the southern [[Bicol Region|Bicol peninsula]] and island provinces of [[Masbate]], [[Romblon]], and [[Palawan]].

Other ethnic groups lesser in population include the [[Aeta]]s of [[Zambales]] and [[Bataan]], the [[Ibanag people|Ibanags]] of [[Cagayan province|Cagayan]] and [[Isabela province|Isabela]], the [[Gaddang people|Gaddang]] of [[Nueva Vizcaya]], the [[Igorot]] of the [[Cordillera Central (Luzon)|Cordilleras]], and the [[Mangyan|Mangyans]] of [[Mindoro]].

Due to historical centuries-old migrations, populations of ethnic [[Chinese Filipino]]s, [[Spanish Filipino]]s, [[Japanese in the Philippines|Japanese Filipinos]], [[Indian Filipino]]s, and Muslim [[Moro people|Moros]] from [[Mindanao]] have also been present in urban areas. Historical [[Filipino mestizo|mixed mestizo]] populations, particularly [[Sangley|Chinese mestizos (''mestizo de Sangley'')]] and [[Spanish Filipino|Spanish mestizos]], and more recent mixed mesitzos of [[Filipinos of American descent|Americans]], [[Filipinos of Japanese descent|Japanese]], [[Koreans in the Philippines|Koreans]], [[Filipinos of Indian descent|Indians]] (mostly [[Punjabi people|Punjabis]]),<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/punjabi-community-money-lending-philippines-president-rodrigo-duterte-2806212/ |title=Indian Express (2016) |date=May 18, 2016 |access-date=February 4, 2023 |archive-date=March 3, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200303135949/https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/punjabi-community-money-lending-philippines-president-rodrigo-duterte-2806212/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and [[Arabs]] are also occasionally present. The historical [[Sangley|Sangley Chinese]] and their [[Chinese Filipino|pure]] and [[Sangley|mixed-mestizo descendants]] are spread all across Luzon of several generations across the centuries. According to old Spanish censuses, around 1/3rd of the population of Luzon are [[Filipino Mestizos|mestizo]] admixed with either or both [[Han Chinese|Southern Han]] [[Chinese Filipino|Chinese]] (mostly from [[Metro Manila|Manila]] to [[Pampanga]]) and/or [[Hispanic]] ([[Spanish Filipino|Spanish]] or [[Mexicans in the Philippines|Latino]]) descent (Mostly in Cavite and Manila).<ref>Jagor, Fëdor, et al.
