The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) conducted the first ever National Disability Prevalence Survey (NDPS)/ Model Functioning Survey (MFS) in the country in November- December of 2016. It is anchored on the survey tool called Model Disability Survey (MDS), developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank (WB). The Philippines is one of the few pilot countries for this study. The objectives of this survey are the following: to estimate the prevalence of disability; to determine the current disability distribution of the population; to identify needs, barriers and inequalities faced by persons with different levels of disability; and to provide the information necessary for the development of policy priorities to improve the lives of the population with disability. The PSA Central Visayas conducted the regional dissemination forum on 25 November 2019 at Hotel Elizabeth, Cebu City. For the results we have the following: (1) The severe disability prevalence in 2016 in the Philippines was 12%; (2) Almost every second person experiences moderate level of disability at 47%; (3) Women are more likely to experience severe disability than men; (4) Older persons are more likely to have severe disability; (5) Access to education and work poses problem for a large share of the general population, increasing for higher disability levels; (6) Persons with higher level of disability face larger disadvantages due to barriers in their physical environment; (7) Attitude of others and access to information pose problems for all groups of the population, increasing for higher disability levels; (8) Persons with severe disability have unmet needs regarding devices and modifications, additional personal assistance and outpatient care. The key note speech was delivered by Dr. Dino D. Caing, Cluster Head of Non-communicable Diseases Section, Department of Health Region VII wherein he stated that “Disability is universal and continuum, whether we like it or not”. The background of the National Disability Prevalence Survey was presented by Ms. Romelyn Anden, Statistical Specialist II of Demographic and Health Statistics Division under Social Sector Statistics Service, Sectoral Statistics Office of Philippine Statistics Authority- Central Office. The result of the survey was presented by Ms. Myrna Trinidad T. Cataluña, Senior Statistical Specialist under the Statistical Operations and Coordination Division of Philippine Statistics Authority- Region VII and lastly Mr. Felipe Pimentel, Officer-In-Charge of Persons with Disabilities Affairs Office, Department of Social Welfare Services gave his message, as well as shared his personal experiences being one of the disabled person/ PWD’s. He ended his message by saying a quote which he made it himself, “Disability is a gift of uniqueness and creativity.” (B. Medalle) 2 CV Stat Volume No. 3 Issue No. 4 October - December 2019 Statistical Operations Sixty Percent of the population in Central Visayas are in the labor force, employment rate is 95.7 percent In October 2019, the total population 15 years old and over was estimated at 5.5 million wherein the number of persons who were in the labor force was reported at 3.5 million. This placed the labor force participation rate (LFPR) at 63.2 percent, which means that six in ten of the population aged 15 years and over were either employed or unemployed (Figure 1). The total number of employed persons in Central Visayas was estimated at 3.3 million. The employment rate reported or the proportion of employed persons to total labor force was 95.7 percent (Figure 2). Central Visayas had a Table 1. October 2019 Underemployment Rate higher employment rate with the national employment Underemployment rate for the October 2019 Employment Situation. By definition, employed persons who express desire to have additional hours of work in their present job, or to have additional job, or to have a new job with longer working hours are considered underemployed. In October 2019, the underemployment rate was estimated Table 2. October 2019 Unemployment Rate at 16.6 percent for Central Visayas (Table 1) and ranked 7th among regions with highest rate for October 2019. Underemployed persons who work for less than 40 hours in a week are called visibly underemployed persons. Meanwhile unemployed persons include all those who, during the reference period, are 15 years old and over as of their last birthday who have no job/business, currently available for work and actively looking for work. Also considered as unemployed are persons without a job or business who are reported not looking for work because of their belief that no work was available or because of temporary illness/disability, bad weather, pending job application or waiting for job interview. Table 3. Total Population 15 Years Old and Over and Rates for Labor Participation, Employment, Unemployment, Underemployment, by Region: October 2019 The national unemployment rate in October 2019 was estimated at 4.5 percent. BARMM, CALABARZON, Ilocos Region, Bicol Region, Central Luzon, Caraga, and NCR have an unemployment rate higher than the Region VII and national figure. The October 2019 Employment Situation is taken from the final result of the October 2019 Labor Force Survey conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (Table 3).. (J.J.

MCGLYNN A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Geography Written under the direction of Dr. Robert Hordon And approved by _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION An Island Environment: Saltwater Intrusion, Groundwater Management and Privatization in Cebu By CHARLES DONALD MCGLYNN Dissertation Director: Dr. Robert M. Hordon “A nation that fails to plan intelligently for the development and protection of its precious waters will be condemned to wither because of its short sightedness” (Johnson 1968) In the midst of this “Decade of Water”, the Philippines is faced with one of its major cities plagued by water problems for the same shortsightedness that President Lyndon Johnson described in 1968. The fact that this city is in a humid climate rather than a parched one makes the neglect that much more compelling. As Matthew Gandy (2003) states in Concrete and Clay, “the history of cities can be read as a history of water”. As this research indicates, Cebu City is no exception. Cebu is the second largest city in the Philippine archipelago and is an ideal place to study these issues for several reasons. It is continuing to experience strong population growth. Also, by all accounts the groundwater in this metropolitan area of over two million people is rapidly deteriorating due to saltwater intrusion.

  • Heritage in Cebu City, the Philippines: a Study of “Competitive”
    Heritage in Cebu City, the Philippines: A Study of“ Competitive” Heritage Heritage in Cebu City, the Philippines: A Study of“ Competitive” Heritage ── A Preliminary Field Report（１） ── Masao NISHIMURA Introduction Heritage has been discussed among people all over the world. I have previously discussed the concept of heritage and its varieties in different contexts (e.g., Nishimura 2006a, 2006b), and recently, heritage has become a global phenomenon. UNESCO is responsible for the widespread popularity of heritage. The UNESCO World Heritage program surely makes people more aware of the heritage around them, and encourages them to think about its conservation. UNESCO and other associated agencies defined heritage from their own perspectives and, as of 2018, there are several categories of heritage. This has created confusion among people who are directly influenced by world heritage, and even in the academic world there is much confusion concerning the definition of heritage. In the Philippines, too, a number of people have talked about their own heritage from the perspective of conservation (e.g., Mojares 1982; Muares 1997; National Commission for Culture and the Arts 2013, 2014; Peralta 2013, 2014a, 2014b; Ramon Abolitiz Foundation 2011, 2013; Tenazas 1964). There are a number of local heritage sites throughout the country, but attitudes toward heritage differ across regions. Given these differences, I intend to explore the situation of heri- tage in Cebu. I have two aims: first, to specify what the people of Cebu think about heritage, and second, to reexamine variability in the general concept of heritage in comparison to locally generated concepts and actions related to heritage.

Abstract The Jesuit House was built in 1730 on land reclaimed from the Tinago Marsh at the edge of the early Spanish settlement of Cebu City, Philippines, two centuries after it was first encountered by the Spanish explorer Magellan. As the city expanded from its core areas ca. 1565 around Fort San Pedro, Plaza Independencia, and the sites of Santo Nino Church and the Cebu Cathedral, waterways were drained and filled, and canals were dredged to extend the urban Spanish grid. Archaeological excavations at the Jesuit House and in the nearby Casa Gorordo Annex project document these changes in the urban landscape.
