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.

    Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: trends and implications for local communities and indigenous peoples 4. Oil palm expansion in the Philippines Analysis of land rights, environment and food security issues5 Jo Villanueva Introduction In recent years, the unprecedented and rapid expansion of oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia, has spurred considerable concern in the light of its adverse impact on the environment, biodiversity, global warming, 5 This study has also been published as a chapter in “Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: Trends and Implications for Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples. (FPP & SawitWatch 2011). Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: trends and implications for local communities and indigenous peoples the displacement of local (and indigenous) communities, the erosion of traditional livelihoods, and the undermining of indigenous peoples and workers‟ rights. In Indonesia, oil palm expansion has contributed to deforestation, peat degradation, loss of biodiversity, ravaging forest fires and a wide range of unresolved social conflicts. In Sarawak, Malaysia, the impact of oil palm includes loss and destruction of forest resources, unequal profit-sharing, water pollution and soil nutrient depletion. In the midst of the increasing profitability of palm oil in the world market, the versatility of its by- products and its potential as a source of biomass in the food and manufacturing industry, a raging debate has ensued between and amongst civil society and industry members over whether palm oil is a necessary evil or whether the costs of this industry on lives, land and environment far outweigh its worth. Although considered a fledgling industry in the Philippine agribusiness sector and while its size is certainly small compared to the millions of hectares of oil palm plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia, the Philippines has been cultivating and processing palm oil for the past three decades.

Cortel For additional information, please contact: Author’s name Driesch Lucien R.

Cortel1 ABSTRACT Poverty in the country remains a challenge for many Filipinos. The growing prevalence of poverty needs efficient solutions and this can be done by managing the local cities and municipalities to easily identify the factors that affect poverty. Despite the many efforts of the government and even by some of the non-government organizations in their poverty alleviation programs, the poverty incidences at the city and municipal level in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) remains alarming. Thus, this paper aims to present the results of a study that generates the city and municipal level poverty statistics of the Philippines and use the statistics to assess the poverty conditions in the region for year 2012. In generating the city and municipal level statistics, an indirect small area estimation (SAE) technique was employed which follows a model-based approach. The city and municipal level estimates of ARMM were generated using the Poisson regression modeling approach based on the income collected through the Family Income and Expenditure Survey, Labor Force Survey (LFS), Census of Population and Housing (CPH), Barangay Listing (BL) and administrative data sets of the region.
