Esquivias Assistant National Statistician National Censuses Service ISSN 0117-1453 FOREWORD The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) conducted the 2015 Census of Population (POPCEN 2015) in August 2015 primarily to update the country’s population and its demographic characteristics, such as the size, composition, and geographic distribution. 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.

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

  • A Historical Evaluation of the Emergence of Nueva Ecija As the Rice Granary of the Philippines
    Presented at the DLSU Research Congress 2015 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines March 2-4, 2015 A Historical Evaluation of The Emergence of Nueva Ecija as the Rice Granary of the Philippines Fernando A. Santiago, Jr., Ph.D. Department of History De La Salle University [email protected] Abstract: The recognition of Nueva Ecija’s potential as a seedbed for rice in the latter half of the nineteenth century led to the massive conversion of public land and the establishment of agricultural estates in the province. The emergence of these estates signalled the arrival of wide scale commercial agriculture that revolved around wet- rice cultivation. By the 1920s, Nueva Ecija had become the “Rice Granary of the Philippines,” which has been the identity of the province ever since. This study is an assessment of the emergence of Nueva Ecija as the leading rice producer of the country. It also tackles various facets of the rice industry, the profitability of the crop and some issues that arose from rice being a controlled commodity. While circumstances might suggest that the rice producers would have enjoyed tremendous prosperity, it was not the case for the rice trade was in the hands of middlemen and regulated by the government. The government policy which favored the urban consumers over rice producers brought meager profits, which led to disappointment to all classes and ultimately caused social tension in the province. The study therefore also explains the conditions that made Nueva Ecija the hotbed of unrest prior to the Second World War. Historical methodology was applied in the conduct of the study.

  • Coping Against El Nino for Stabilizing Rainfed Agriculture
    Coping Strategies against El Nino: the Case of Selected Communities in Talugtug, Nueva Ecija, the Philippines Florentino C. Monsalud, Jaime G. Montesur and Rene L. Limosinero* Introduction The Philippines experiences drought at least once every five years and it causes tremendous havoc to the economy. During the 1997-1998 El Nino, losses to rice and corn alone amounted to more than US$ 240,000,000 (Librero et al., 1999). Under these circumstances the government reacted with a number of programs that are expected to address this problem. Among these include the Small Water Impounding Projects (SWIP). Along with the introduced mitigation measures against the effects of El Nino are the strategies employed by farmers to cope with the impact of El Nino. Understanding the factors contributory to the effectiveness of these measures will be a useful guide to planners and policy makers. Vulnerability of farmers to El Nino is dependent on the biophysical characteristics of their farm and on the socio-economic conditions of the community. The institutional support available to them is also critical in the level of preparedness in confronting the impact of El Nino. Objectives 1) To determine the impacts of El Nino-related abnormal weather changes on agricultural production and farmers’ income; 2) To document the existing farming systems, resources, infrastructure, institutions, and other socio-economic characteristics of selected El Nino vulnerable areas; 3) To determine the strategies employed by farmers and communities to cope with El Nino-induced agricultural risks; and 4) To draw up specific recommendations for the stabilization of upland agricultural production. * Farming Systems and Soil Resources Institute, University of the Philippines Los Baños, College, Laguna, the Philippines.

WHEREAS, as a result of this fragmentation, there is lack of a clear, coherent policy and a rational regulative framework on the use and allocation of our country's scant water resources and reservoirs which have further exacerbated the debate among governmental and private institutions
