FOREWORD This report features the 2012 municipal and city level poverty estimates in the country as part of the output of the Project on the Generation of the 2012 Small Area Estimates of Poverty, which is a government-funded project implemented by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). It is a follow-up study to the earlier projects of the former National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB, now part of the PSA) on Poverty Mapping in the Philippines Project, the Intercensal Updating of Small Area Poverty Estimates Project, and the Project on the Generation of 2006 and 2009 Small Area Estimates of Poverty. These earlier projects were funded through the World Bank (WB) - Asia Europe Meeting Trust Fund, WB Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building, Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) and the Philippine Government. These projects generated municipal and city level poverty estimates for 2000, 2003, and 2006 and 2009 respectively, using small area estimation (SAE) technique. Similar to the earlier projects, the SAE technique used is the Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw (ELL), a method developed by the WB wherein the survey and census data conducted on the same year are combined to produce reliable poverty estimates at lower levels of geographic disaggregation. As in the previous projects, the ELL method was modified to come up with estimates even during intercensal years. We would like to express our deepest appreciation to our Project Technical Resource Person, Dr. Zita VJ. Albacea of the Philippine Statistical Research and Training Institute (PSRTI) for her valuable guidance and assistance and to our Project’s Technical Adviser, Dr. Romulo A. Virola, for his significant recommendations and active participation in the Project activities. We acknowledge their untiring efforts in helping us with this Project, which will hopefully contribute to the improvement of the Philippine Statistical System (PSS). This report also highlights the validation exercises and consultations done with the local government units, and provides the actual policy uses of the small area poverty estimates in the Philippines emphasizing the relevance of the project outputs to national and local policymaking. More specifically, the municipal and city level poverty estimates were used by several national and local government agencies in their policymaking and program planning, e.g., the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) use of the SAE of poverty as basis for the identification of areas for the Kapit- Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan- Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI- CIDSS), the Pantawid Pamilya Program and the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP). It is hoped that the results of this project will further help local communities, policymakers and program implementers in the formulation of appropriate programs and improvements in targeting schemes aimed at reducing poverty.

Introduction Poverty reduction remains the overarching goal of the Philippine government. The main vision of the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2011-2016 is to achieve rapid, sustainable and inclusive growth that will generate employment opportunities and reduce poverty. The PDP 2011-2016 Midterm Update further recognized the need for fine- tuning strategies on poverty reduction to unleash the potential of all sectors in the areas and communities where the poorest and most vulnerable are found. This is also in consonance with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and its successor, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which embodies specific targets and milestones in eliminating extreme poverty worldwide. While MDG 1 aims to halve the poverty rate in 2015 from its baseline rate in 1990, the SDG 1 envisions eradicating extreme poverty for all people everywhere by 2030. Recognizing that poverty reduction is a long-term program that requires uninterrupted growth over a reasonable length of time, the generation of more frequent, timely and relevant national and sub-national poverty statistics are deemed critical inputs to achieve this objective. Official poverty statistics in the country are generated by the former National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), now part of the Philippine Statistics Authority1 (PSA), in accordance with Executive Order (EO) No. 352, Designation of Statistical Activities that will Generate Critical Data for Decision-making of the Government and Private Sector. The official poverty estimation methodology is developed by the Technical Committee on Poverty Statistics, which has a multi-sectoral representation consisting of noted experts in poverty measurement coming from the academe, producers and users of poverty statistics from both government and non-government organizations. Official poverty statistics released by the PSA include national, regional and provincial poverty estimates directly estimated from the triennial Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES). Further, starting 2013, national poverty estimates are also generated using the results of the Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS), which is conducted in years when the FIES is not conducted. These poverty estimates are defined and estimated in line with Republic Act (RA) 8425, the Social Reform and Poverty Alleviation Act, which refers to 1 The Philippine Statistics Authority was established on 12 September 2013 by virtue of Republic Act 10625, otherwise known as the “Philippine Statistical Act of 2013”, which merged the major statistical agencies engaged in primary data collection and compilation of secondary data, namely: National Statistics Office (NSO); National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB); Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS); and Bureau of Labor and Employment Statistics (BLES). 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 1 the poor as those families and individuals whose income fall below the poverty threshold and who cannot afford to provide for their minimum basic needs in a sustained manner. The increasing clamour for lower disaggregation of poverty statistics for better targeted poverty reduction programs has been recognized by the former NSCB as it embarked on a Poverty Mapping Project with funding assistance from the World Bank Asia Europe Meeting (ASEM) Trust Fund in 2004. This Project made possible the release of 2000 poverty estimates for all the 1,622 municipalities and cities in the country through small area estimation in 2005. Small area estimation is a statistical methodology that allows the estimation at lower levels of disaggregation by combining information collected from a survey with data from other sources such as the census. A variant of this methodology, called the Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw (ELL) Method, was applied in the Project using the 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH), 4th Round of the 2000 Labor

  • LIFE of FOREST STEWARDS (Part 1) August 7, 2021
    LIFE OF FOREST STEWARDS (Part 1) August 7, 2021 What is it like to be a Forest Ranger or a Forest Extension Officer? How do you bear patrolling on foot the 10,000 hectares per month target? Or what are the challenges in assisting communities that implements the government’s flagship greening program? There are a lot of interesting facts about being forest stewards. Let us listen to their stories. It’s a hard, tough climb to the second highest peak at 2,117 meters above sea level (masl) in Western Visayas. As majestic as it looks, Mt. Madja-as also holds diverse biological treasures yet to be discovered but more to be protected. Formatted: Font: (Default) Open Sans, 13 pt, Font color: Custom Color(RGB(238,238,238)) Mila Portaje walks inside Bulabog Puti-an National Park. In this beautiful mountain landscape works Margarito Manalo, Jr., one of the Forest Rangers assigned to the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in Culasi, Antique which covers the jurisdictional upland territories of the municipalities of Culasi, Sebaste, Barbaza, Caluya, Tibiao, Pandan and Libertad. Manalo is one of the team leaders who patrol the forestland areas spanning 64,669.00 hectares. Armed with loving courage and knowledge on forestry laws, Forest Rangers like Margarito would face consequences along their patrol trails that sometimes surprise them and challenge their innovation skills. At one time during their LAWIN patrol, he and his team found abandoned lumbers in the timberland area of Alojipan, Culasi. Regretfully, they could not ask for reinforcement to haul the forest products since it was a dead spot area, and they could neither send a text message nor make a call.

  • Utilization and Quality of Free-Flowing Groundwater in Barangay Poblacion, Ibajay, Aklan
    Presented at the DLSU Research Congress 2016 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines March 7-9, 2016 Utilization and Quality of Free-flowing Groundwater in Barangay Poblacion, Ibajay, Aklan Genara Verangel1 and Nenilyn Erenea2 1 Aklan State University; Science Education Department, BAGCED, De La Salle University, Manila 2 Aklan State University, Aklan *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract: Groundwater is the most important natural resource used for drinking by many people around the world. In Barangay Poblacion, Ibajay, Aklan, there are eight “free-flowing” groundwater sources that is accessible to the residents twenty four hours a day. The provision of uninterrupted water supply improves the living conditions of all people in the community but the use of water should be conserved, maximized and regulated to prevent shortage. The resource cannot be optimally used and sustained unless the quality of groundwater is assessed to protect the health of water users. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach to assess the utilization and quality of groundwater. A survey questionnaire was administered among 247 head-of- the-families to determine the utilization of water. Water sample from every source was subjected to laboratory analysis. Sixty five percent of households were utilizing groundwater and use it primarily for drinking. Further, one free-flowing source was found positive of fecal coliform bacteria but other sources conformed to pH, total hardness, heterotrophic plate count, and total coliform tests and pass the Philippine National Standard for Drinking Water. The study pointed out the need to perform periodic and complete monitoring of the potability of water in free-flowing sources for the water was basically used for drinking.

  • Requirements for Governance in a Poverty-Reduction Project
    CASE 2 REQUIREMENTS FOR GOVERNANCE IN A POVERTY-REDUCTION PROJECT LOCALIZING THE CIDSS PROGRAM IN BALETE, AKLAN Philip Tuaño 1. INTRODUCTION Many development practitioners hold that strong involvement of the community and of local governance institutions increases the effectiveness of poverty-alleviation projects. Community involvement is important because the community is usually better at identifying the main problems of its poor and pinpointing solutions. However, it is not as easy to recognize those aspects of local governance that result in better anti-poverty programs. In some cases, local governments might even hinder efforts to improve the living conditions of the poor, especially when corrupt or misguided local officials capture community institutions and use them for their profit. This case study discusses the experience of the municipality of Balete, Aklan Province, in running the Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (CIDSS) program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). CIDSS is part of the so-called 'convergence strategy' for poverty alleviation.1 It belongs to a basket of projects that include Agrarian Reform Communities, certificate of ancestral domain communities, and other communities of the basic sectors such as farmers and fisherfolk. Aklan considers itself the first local government unit in the country to localize CIDSS implementation mainly through local funding. This study uses both primary and secondary data. The case study writer interviewed key informants from among local government officials, including the provincial governor, the provincial planning and development officer, the provincial social welfare and development officer, the municipal mayor, the municipal social worker, the municipal planning and development officer and the CIDSS worker.
