Executive Summary The main activities of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Philippine Sanitation Alliance (PSA) project during the quarter were conducting two of the four city stakeholders’ consultation and planning workshops in and the service providers’ trainings. The stakeholders’ workshops were held in Zamboanga City and Santa Rosa City. Both workshops were well attended and well received by the participants. The service providers’ training was met with much interest from the invited private sector companies despite their busy schedules. A highlight of the quarter was the PSA’s participation in the International Year of Sanitation (IYS) 2008 national launch in Mandaluyong City. The event was attended by PSA alliance partners and management staff. The IYS launch kicked off a year of national and local events spearheaded and organized by members of the Philippine Ecological Sanitation Network, which is lead by national agency partner Department of Health. The project also followed up with the six LINAW cities on development and completion of short- term projects and sharing of information with nearby municipalities. Manjuyog, a municipality near Dumaguete City, replicated the wastewater treatment plant for the public market, a project that cost P1.7 million and was designed by PSA partner Basic Needs Services/Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association (BNS/BORDA). II. Performance Objectives and Expected Outputs The project is on track to meet the results targets for FY08 (see the table below).

One of the Harmony Play Centers The Project aims to develop sustainable physical constructed by the community and social infrastructure that will contribute to the physical safety, psychosocial well‐being and intellectual development of children and youth in the 75 sitios of the 25 conflict‐affected barangays in the municipalities of Carmen, Kabacan and Pikit in North Cotabato Province and in Datu Montawal and Pagalungan in Maguindanao Province in ARMM. The children and youth from the barangays have personally witnessed violence during the armed conflicts in their area and now have a certain degree of trauma. About 2,225 children ages three to five years old, 225 Caregivers, 75 Community Workers and 375 youth in 75 sitios will directly benefit from the Project. The 3 problems that will be addressed by the project are; 1) the certain degree of trauma faced by the children and youth in the community as a result of armed conflict, 2) the lack of day‐care centers in the community to help stimulate the intellectual development and physical growth of very young children and, 3) the lack of training and opportunities for conflict‐affected youth who are vulnerable to recruitment for combat.

BERSALES, Ph.D. National Statistician and Civil Registrar General Copyright © 2012 by Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) PSA CVEA Building East Avenue, Diliman Quezon City, Philippines FOREWORD Over the years, the Census of Agriculture and Fisheries (CAF) has been the major source of comprehensive information on agriculture and fishery sectors in the country. The collected census data provide statistical information which can assist decision making for all sectors of society such as governments, businesses, academics, researchers, students, community organizations and individuals. The 2012 CAF was undertaken by the then National Statistics Office (NSO) in accordance with Executive Order (EO) 121, designating the said office as the "major statistical agency responsible for generating general purpose statistics" and Commonwealth Act 591 which authorized the NSO, "to prepare for and undertake all censuses of population, agriculture, industry and commerce". Moreover, EO 352, otherwise known as the Designation of Statistical Activities that will Generate Critical Data for Decision-Making of the Government and the Private Sector, provided for the conduct of census of agriculture every 10 years. Recently, Republic Act (RA) 10625 (Reorganizing and Strengthening the Philippine Statistical System and for Other Purposes) Section 6 stipulates that one function of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is "to prepare and conduct periodic censuses on population, housing, agriculture, fisheries, business, industry and other sectors of the economy". The 2012 CAF was the sixth in a series of decennial agriculture censuses and the fifth in the decennial censuses of fisheries in the country.
