  • Summary Poverty Reduction and Social Strategy
    Improving Growth Corridors in Mindanao Road Sector Project (RRP PHI 41076) SUMMARY POVERTY REDUCTION AND SOCIAL STRATEGY Country: Philippines Project Title: Improving Growth Corridors in Mindanao Road Sector Project Lending/Financing Sector Loan Department/ Southeast Asia Department Modality: Division: Transport and Communications Division I. POVERTY AND SOCIAL ANALYSIS AND STRATEGY Poverty targeting: General intervention A. Links to the National Poverty Reduction and Inclusive Growth Strategy and Country Partnership Strategy The project objectives support the Philippine Development Plan (PDP), 2017–2022,a which targets reducing poverty incidence from 21.6% in 2015 to 14.0% by 2022, or by about 6 million people. Among the targets under the strategic framework of the PDP, 2017–2022 are that (i) growth will be more inclusive, as manifested by a lower poverty incidence in rural areas, from 30% in 2015 to 20% in 2022; and (ii) the unemployment rate will decline from the current 5.6% (2017) to 3%–5% in 2022. The PDP notes that infrastructure undergirds a country’s socioeconomic development, the more strategically distributed it is—both by sectoral and spatially—the better it is for inclusive growth and sustainable development. A principal objective of Asian Development Bank (ADB) support for the Philippines is to help in the achievement of high, inclusive, and sustainable growth. Support for infrastructure development, including transport, forms a core part of ADB’s operational strategy for the country. B. Results from the Poverty and Social Analysis during PPTA or Due Diligence 1. Key poverty and social issues. Poverty incidence in the Philippines in 2015 was estimated at 21.6%, equivalent to about 22 million Filipinos who cannot afford their basic needs.

  • A Historical Evaluation of the Emergence of Nueva Ecija As the Rice Granary of the Philippines
    Presented at the DLSU Research Congress 2015 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines March 2-4, 2015 A Historical Evaluation of The Emergence of Nueva Ecija as the Rice Granary of the Philippines Fernando A. Santiago, Jr., Ph.D. Department of History De La Salle University [email protected] Abstract: The recognition of Nueva Ecija’s potential as a seedbed for rice in the latter half of the nineteenth century led to the massive conversion of public land and the establishment of agricultural estates in the province. The emergence of these estates signalled the arrival of wide scale commercial agriculture that revolved around wet- rice cultivation. By the 1920s, Nueva Ecija had become the “Rice Granary of the Philippines,” which has been the identity of the province ever since. This study is an assessment of the emergence of Nueva Ecija as the leading rice producer of the country. It also tackles various facets of the rice industry, the profitability of the crop and some issues that arose from rice being a controlled commodity. While circumstances might suggest that the rice producers would have enjoyed tremendous prosperity, it was not the case for the rice trade was in the hands of middlemen and regulated by the government. The government policy which favored the urban consumers over rice producers brought meager profits, which led to disappointment to all classes and ultimately caused social tension in the province. The study therefore also explains the conditions that made Nueva Ecija the hotbed of unrest prior to the Second World War. Historical methodology was applied in the conduct of the study.

  • Philippines: the Protection Offered to Female Victims of Sexual Abuse Research Directorate, Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, Ottawa
    Home > Research > Responses to Information Requests RESPONSES TO INFORMATION REQUESTS (RIRs) New Search | About RIR's | Help 13 March 2008 PHL102719.E Philippines: The protection offered to female victims of sexual abuse Research Directorate, Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, Ottawa Freedom House reports that "[r]ape, domestic violence, [and] sexual harassment on the job ... continue to be major problems despite efforts in government and civil society to protect women from violence and abuse" (2007). Similarly, Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2006 states that violence against women "remained a serious problem" (US 6 Mar. 2007, Sec. 5). According to the Philippine Star, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) reported 22,724 victims of sexual abuse from 2000 to 2005 (27 Sept. 2007). The DSWD, which provides programs and services for specific groups including women (Philippines n.d.a), reports on its website that it provided assistance to 237 female victims of rape, 91 female victims of incest and 5 female victims of "acts of lasciviousness" in 2006 (ibid. n.d.b). According to the National Commission on the Role of Filipino Women (NCRFW), the number of cases of violence against women increased from 1,100 in 1996 to 6,505 in 2005, and police records for 2005 indicate that 17.2 percent of cases reported to the police were rape cases (Philippines Mar. 2006). The Anti-Rape Law of 1997, which amends the definitions of the crime of rape in the Revised Penal Code, also defines marital rape as a crime unless the wife forgives the offender (i.e., her husband) (ibid.
