The methodology employed in the project combined the 2000 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), 2000 Labor Force Survey (LFS) and 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) to estimate poverty incidence, poverty gap, and poverty severity for the provincial and municipal levels. We acknowledge with thanks the valuable assistance provided by the Project Consultants, Dr. Stephen Haslett and Dr. Geoffrey Jones of the Statistics Research and Consulting Centre, Massey University, New Zealand. Ms. Caridad Araujo, for the assistance in the preliminary preparations for the project; and Dr. Peter Lanjouw of the World Bank for the continued support. The Project Consultants prepared Chapters 1 to 8 of the report with Mr. Joseph M. Addawe, Rey Angelo Millendez, and Amando Patio, Jr. of the NSCB Poverty Team, assisting in the data preparation and modeling. Chapters 9 to 11 were prepared mainly by the NSCB Project Staff after conducting validation workshops in selected provinces of the country and the project’s national dissemination forum. It is hoped that the results of this project will help local communities and policy makers in the formulation of appropriate programs and improvements in the targeting schemes aimed at reducing poverty.

Nagoya, Japan 464-8601 http://www.gsid.nagoya-u.ac.jp/ Introduction It was in the evening of July 24, at a Hotel in Hokkaido, when I received the fax from Dr. Osada, Dean of the Graduate School of International Development (GSID), Nagoya University, in which he proposed to change the site for the ninth annual Overseas Fieldwork (OFW 2000). A travel advisory issued by Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs covering Bohol province and other places in the Philippines, affected his final decision. As program director, I accepted his judgment. In January 2000, with a generous subsidy from the Foundation for Advanced Studies on International Development (FACID), members from OFW Committee and professors from the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) visited several places in Laguna Province and Bohol Province to look for suitable sites for OFW 2000. After many heated discussions – both provinces were highly evaluated for their attractive sites and open-minded municipal and provincial government officials, they eventually decided on Bohol. We unfortunately gave up Bohol in July for security reasons, however, fortunately Laguna was still in our hands. Of course, the sudden change of locations from Bohol to Laguna added extra work for our colleagues from UPLB, even though Laguna is their home province.
