    13th National Convention on Statistics (NCS) EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City October 3-4, 2016 2012 MUNICIPAL AND CITY LEVEL POVERTY ESTIMATES IN ARMM by Driesch Lucien R. Cortel For additional information, please contact: Author’s name Driesch Lucien R. Cortel Designation Statistical Specialist I Affiliation Philippine Statistics Authority Address 16th Floor, ETON Cyberpod THREE, EDSA, Quezon City Tel. no. 376-1991 E-mail [email protected] Page 1 of 26 2012 MUNICIPAL AND CITY LEVEL POVERTY ESTIMATES IN ARMM by 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.

Some Economically Important Bivalves and Gastropods found in the Island of Hadji Panglima Tahil, in the province of Sulu, Philippines Sharon Rose M. Tabugo 1, Jocelyn O. Pattuinan 1, Nathanie Joy J. Sespene 1 and Aldren J. Jamasali 2 1Department of Biological Sciences,College of Science and Mathematics, MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, Iligan City 2Mindanao State University- Jolo, SULU Available online at: www.isca.in Received 17th April 2013, revised 26 th April 2013, accepted 4th May 2013 Abstract The Philippines is a haven of a rich diversity of marine organisms. Unraveling this diversity had posed a tremendous challenge. The existing security threat in some areas of the archipelago had led to a dearth of information with regard to the diversity of organisms especially the islands located in the province of Sulu. Marine mollusc studies are still among those that are overseen by many researchers. To date, there is still a lack of basic information such as diversity and species checklist that make it impossible to assess the rate of population lost among existing marine molluscs. There is no published information on the actual number of marine shelled molluscan species in the area. This work assessed, described and identified some economically important molluscs in the island of Hadji Panglima Tahil, in the province of Sulu, Philippines. There were a total of 18 molluscs (marine bivalves & gastropods) species found and identified in the island. The molluscs served as food, ornaments and as source of livelihood by residents in the area, which is separated by sea from Jolo, the capital municipality of the province.

However, historic statistic data have not been compiled yet as only in 2013 the report template was drafted by the OCD Central Office. OCD-ARMM started to prepare disaster reports of the main land provinces in 2014, following the draft template. Its satellite office in Zamboanga prepares disaster reports of the island provinces and submits them directly to the Central Office. Table 5.1 is a summary of the disaster reports for three flood events in 2014. Unfortunately, there is no disaster event record of the island provinces in the reports for the reason mentioned above. According to staff of OCD-ARMM, main disasters in the Region are flood and landslide, and the two mainland provinces, Maguindanao and Lanao Del Sur are more susceptible to disasters than the three island provinces, Sulu, Balisan and Tawi-Tawi.
