The Journal of Philippine Statistics (JPS) is a quarterly publication of the National Statistics Office (NSO). It furnishes data users with statistical information on the socioeconomic development of the country in accordance with the NSO’s mission of providing timely, accurate, and reliable information as bases for plans, policies and decisions, and as inputs to academic pursuits, researches, and development projects.
The statistical series contained in this publication are updated for continuity and for comparative analysis whenever possible. Tabular data usually cover two or more periods for maximum comparability.
This issue presents the latest available statistics on population and housing; labor and employment; travel and tourism; social welfare, and community development; education and culture; health, nutrition and vital statistics; and defense, crime and delinquency.

Most of the statistics shown here were taken from surveys and censuses conducted by the NSO and other offices, as well as from administrative forms or records compiled by various agencies. Acknowledgment, therefore, is extended to all secondary data sources without whose cooperation and support, the consolidation of information and the publication of this journal would not have been possible.

The Furniture Industry
During the 18th century, European domestic furniture was brought in the country. As a result, new regional styles of furniture making emerged in the Philippines. From replicating to
redesigning, the furniture industry prospered as the craftsmen built furniture to suit the local tastes and lifestyles. By the time the Americans settled in the country during the early 1900’s, values such as casualness, comfort, and practicality gave influence to the locals and had also an impact on the furniture industry.
