Report No. 3 – Population, Land Area, and Population Density is among the series of publications that present the results of the POPCEN 2015. This publication provides information on the population size, land area, and population density by region, province, highly urbanized city, and city/municipality based on the data from population census conducted by the PSA in the years 2000, 2010, and 2015; and data on land area by city/municipality as of December 2013 that was provided by the Land Management Bureau (LMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Also presented in this report is the percent change in the population density over the three census years. The population density shows the relationship of the population to the size of land where the population resides.

FOX NFLUENCES from China loom large in the culture history of the Philippines. During the Neolithic period people from south China and Tndo-China sailed either directly into the Philippines (Beyer 1948b) or around the southern margins the China Sea basin bringing new stone-tool traditions and agricultural practices. Striking similarities may also be seen between the earlier flake-tool assemblages now being recovered in Tabon Cave, Palawan (Fox 1963), and China (Chang 19581, and the writer believes that future research in paleolithic sites in these two areas will disclose common tool traditions which date back to Pleistocene times. Early cultural developments in China, as Chang has pointed out (1962), have had a great impact either directly or indirectly upon the peoples of South.

  • Building Statistics- Aug. 2018.Pdf
    REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPINES PHILIPPINE STATISTICS AUTHORITY Batangas Provincial Statistical Office SPECIAL RELEASE STATISTICS ON BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AUGUST 2018 2 0 1 8 - R N ( S R B P 0 8 ) A construction permit or building permit is a permit required in most jurisdic- tions for new construction, or adding onto pre-existing structures, and in some cas- es for major renovations. Generally, the new construction must be inspected during construction and after completion to ensure compliance with national, regional, and local building codes. Failure to obtain a permit can result in significant fines and penalties, and even demolition of unauthorized construction if it cannot be made to meet code. Building Construction in Batangas Province Building permit applications for the month of July 2018 summed up to 529. In comparison to the previous month where 264 applications were processed, the number of building permits increased by 265. Of the 529 total building permits, 397 residential, and 62 non-residential. These constructions occupied a total floor area of 139,305 sq. m. with a total value of Php 1.602.459M. A value of Php 1.187.205M came from the residential constructions, while Php 395.517M came from the non-residential buildings.

  • Enhancing Food Security and Sustainable Livelihoods in Batangas, Philippines, Through Mpas and ICM
    ICM Solutions Enhancing Food Security and Sustainable Livelihoods in Batangas, Philippines, through MPAs and ICM The long-term protection and management of coastal and marine resources entails good governance and on- the-ground interventions. In Batangas Province, the implementation of marine protected areas (MPAs) and MPA networks within the framework of an integrated coastal management (ICM) program have provided benefits in food security and sustainable livelihoods, and engaged stakeholders in various sectors and at varying scales to integrate and complement each other’s efforts. Addressing fish stocks goes hand in hand with habitat restoration initiatives in improving food security and reducing ecosystem degradation. Scientific analyses, in parallel with consultations with locals as well as commercial fishers, provide both scientific and practical rationale for management interventions, including seasonal closures for fishing. It is important to educate and build awareness in order to mobilize the community for environmental stewardship and consequently make the community a partner in sustainable coastal development. By facilitating the fishing community themselves to guard and maintain the MPA, the community begins to take ownership and responsibility for local conservation and to protect their livelihoods as fishers. Context “I do not have parcels of land for my children to inherit. I pass on to them the knowledge and lessons that I have learned in a lifetime of fishing … lessons about conserving and protecting the marine and coastal resources. Experience has taught me there is a greater wealth from the sea if its resources are sustainably managed.” These are the heartfelt sentiments of Doroteo Cruzat (Mang Jury), a former fisher who was taught his craft in the waters of Mabini, in the Province of Batangas, Philippines, when he was 10 years old.
