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.

  • Environmental Profile
    ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE Guimaras province is an island ecosystem composed of five coastal municipalities which covers a land area of 60,547 hectares. The topography of Guimaras Island varies from level to steeply sloping with land elevation ranging from 0 to nearly 300 meters above sea level. Mt. Dinalman, located in Millan, Sibunag, has the highest elevation of 267 meters above mean sea level. A simplified topographic contour map indicates that the great part of islands land area is above 100 masl. By comparing the topographic features from the 1956 topographic maps with the present situation, it could be concluded that the island topography has not been altered much by man-made activities. The island’s topography shows quite steep slopes on the western side of island with plateaus and peaks above 200 m in the central portion. A large part or 69% of the total land area is within the 0-18% slope, 19.73% is above 18-30% slope, 9.42% is above 30-50% slope and 1.74 percent is above 50% slope. Figure 1. Slope Map of Guimaras Based on the preliminary Karst subsidence susceptibility mapping of MGB, in the Municipality of Buenavista there are 89 sinkholes (all types) and 85 cave openings while there are 457 sinkholes (all types) and 282 cave openings in the Municipality of Jordan. Figure 2. Preliminary Karst Subsidence Susceptibility Map of Buenavista Figure 3. Preliminary Karst Subsidence Susceptibility Map of Jordan The estimated overall coastline length is 470 kms, 300 kms of which comprise the coastal perimeter of mainland Guimaras while 170 kms cover the islands and islets.

Together with a summary of historical museum records, our data document the occurrence of 55 species of amphibians and reptiles in this small island group.

Although relatively small and less diverse than the surrounding landmasses, the islands of Romblon Province contain remarkable levels of endemism when considered as percentage of the total fauna or per unit landmass area.

Pingoy Medical Center, Koronadal City, South Cotabato; 3St. Anthony Medical Hospital, Marikina City; 4Roel I Senador Memorial Hospital, South Cotabato; 5Movement Disorders Center and Section of Neurology, International Institute for Neurosciences, St Luke’s Medical Center –Quezon City and Global City, Philippines *Contact Details: [email protected] ABSTRACT: X-linked dystonia Parkinsonism (XDP) is an adult-onset, progressive, debilitating movement disorder, mani- festing predominantly with dystonia in combination with Parkinsonism. It was first reported in 1975 among males in Panay Island. Migrants from Panay Island occupied the region of South Cotabato in Mindanao with its capital Koronadal City. The estimated population of the region is 912,957 as of 2015 and the dominant ethnicity, comprising 51%, are from Panay Island. This paper calls attention to this migration and aimed to identify cases and describe the clinical picture of XDP in Koronadal City. A descriptive study using the screening questionnaire for XDP was used per barangay to look for possible cases. Cases were confirmed through interview and assessment by a movement disorder specialist. Four cases of XDP from Koronadal City were seen. They were all male, presenting with generalized dystonia. The phenomenology of these cases is similar to the 2011 study involving 312 patients.

  • Indigenous People and Situation Analysis
    CALL FOR PROPOSALS Technical Assistance on the Mapping of, and situation analysis of Indigenous People (IP), Collectively or Individually in SNIP 2 project sites (Aklan, Agusan del Sur and Davao Region) 1. Summary The World Health Organization (WHO) Philippines through the Subnational Initiative Project, Phase 2 (SNIP2) is looking for an individual or institution contractual partner to provide technical assistance on the mapping of, and situation analysis of Indigenous People (IP) in project sites, one APW each for Aklan, Agusan del Sur and Davao Region under an Agreement for Performance of Work (APW) contract. The applications are due by 5 September 2021. 2. Background The World Health Organization Philippines Country Office is currently implementing the Subnational Initiative Project Phase 2 in collaboration with the Philippines Department of Health and with funding support from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). The project is called “Strengthening Health Care Provider Network (HCPN) with Enhanced Linkage to Community for Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal, Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCAH). The objective is to improve the health systems of the three (3) regions for better health for maternal, child, and adolescent health. The project will respond based on the following health outcomes; supported communities to develop effective approaches to essential health services for RMNCAH, strengthened governance and management for the responsiveness of HCPN, and sustained and scaled up the initial gains in Region XI from the Subnational Initiative Phase 1 Project. Especially in Phase 2, participation of community level is one of the main activities and this can be achieved through engagement and empowerment of Municipal and Barangay level including indigenous people (IP).

Relationship of field EC (in-situ measurement) with other soil physico-chemical properties such as texture, cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH, total N, available P and exchangeable bases including K, Ca and Mg were established. Soil samples representing the following series; Guimbalaon (Typic Hapludands), Silay (Aquic Hapludalfs), Manapla (Typic Hapludults), Pulupandan (Typic Ustipsamments), San Manuel (Typic Eutrudepts), La Castellana (Typic Humitrudepts) and Bago (Vertic Argiudolls) in La Carlota Sugar Mill District, Negros Occidental, Philippines were studied. Significant positive relationships were observed between field EC and soil pH (r=0.51*), laboratory EC (r=0.59*), CEC (r=0.74**), clay content (r=0.74**) and exchangeable Ca (r=0.79**) and Mg (r=0.86**), while negative correlation was noted between field EC and sand content (r=-0.57*).

  • ADDRESSING ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE in the PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINES Second-Largest Archipelago in the World Comprising 7,641 Islands
    ADDRESSING ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE IN THE PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINES Second-largest archipelago in the world comprising 7,641 islands Current population is 100 million, but projected to reach 125 million by 2030; most people, particularly the poor, depend on biodiversity 114 species of amphibians 240 Protected Areas 228 Key Biodiversity Areas 342 species of reptiles, 68% are endemic One of only 17 mega-diverse countries for harboring wildlife species found 4th most important nowhere else in the world country in bird endemism with 695 species More than 52,177 (195 endemic and described species, half 126 restricted range) of which are endemic 5th in the world in terms of total plant species, half of which are endemic Home to 5 of 7 known marine turtle species in the world green, hawksbill, olive ridley, loggerhead, and leatherback turtles ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE The value of Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is estimated at $10 billion–$23 billion per year, making wildlife crime the fourth most lucrative illegal business after narcotics, human trafficking, and arms. The Philippines is a consumer, source, and transit point for IWT, threatening endemic species populations, economic development, and biodiversity. The country has been a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity since 1992. The value of IWT in the Philippines is estimated at ₱50 billion a year (roughly equivalent to $1billion), which includes the market value of wildlife and its resources, their ecological role and value, damage to habitats incurred during poaching, and loss in potential
