Information on other aspects of well-being is generally obtained from representative health surveys, national population and housing censuses, and others. However, these surveys and censuses are (i) too costly to be replicated frequently; (ii) conducted at different time periods, making it impossible to get a comprehensive profile of the different socio-demographic groups of interest at a specific point in time; and (iii) have sampling designs that do not usually correspond to the geographical disaggregation needed by local government units (LGUs).

  • Angel C. Alcala
    ANGEL C. ALCALA When PorfirioAlcala, Sr., Angel C. Alcala's father, graduated from high school during the high noon of the American colonial period in the Philippines, he immediately embarked upon a career in teach­ ing. In the town of Cauayan, on Negros Island in central Philip­ pines, he courted and married one of his students, Crescenciana Chua. Together they moved to the small village of Caliling, on the sea coast about fourteen kilometers south of Cauayan. Crescenciana's mother, the wife (but not the First Wife) of a pros­ perous Chinese businessman, owned some property there and Porfirio took up a new line of work supplying fish fry to commercial fishpond operators in the northern towns of Negros Occidental. In time, Porfirio and Crescenciana had five daughters and five sons. Angel, their eldest child, was born on 1 March 1929. The family home was simple. The roof was thatch and the floors, slatted bamboo. It had only two bedrooms; in one, as Angel Alcala remembers, the growing band of children slept "all lined up at night." After sundown, light came fromkerosene lamps. Food was fresh and abundant. The family shared three hectares of land with Crescenciana's brothers, on which they grew rice, coconuts, and myriad other fruitsand vegetables. Alcala's father maintained fish­ ponds that yielded a dependable supply of milkfish, or bangus. More­ over, the family home faced the Guimaras Strait. In the reef just offshore lived a cornucopia of sea life. When the sun set and the tide was low, Alcala and his father and younger brothers explored the shallows.
