BERSALES, Ph.D. Undersecretary National Statistician and Civil Registrar General Copyright © 2016 by Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) PSA Complex, East Avenue, Diliman Quezon City, Philippines FOREWORD The 2015 Census of Population (POPCEN 2015) was the third population census conducted in between two decennial censuses. Mid-decade censuses were also conducted in 1995 and 2007. POPCEN 2015 Report No. 2 was one of the publications prepared by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) to disseminate the results of POPCEN 2015. This report provides census data on the characteristics of the population at the national, regional, provincial, and city/municipality levels. Specifically, it contains the profile of the population with respect to age, sex, marital status, religious affiliation, school attendance and education, literacy, overseas worker indicator, and usual activity/occupation. PSA acknowledges the contribution of all national and local government agencies, local government units, and private offices and organizations for their invaluable assistance extended during the nationwide census-taking. Utmost gratitude is given to all respondents who patiently provided answers to the census questions, and to all hired census enumerators and supervisors for their hard work in completing the census. We salute all our census PSA field office officials and staff for making POPCEN 2015 a success. LISA GRACE S. BERSALES, Ph. D.

This was the third census of population that was undertaken in between two decennial censuses. Mid-decade censuses were previously conducted in 1995 and 2007. POPCEN 2015 was the 14 th census of population in the country since the first census in 1903. POPCEN 2015 was designed primarily to take an inventory of the total population in the Philippines and collect basic information about its characteristics. It aimed to provide government executives, policy makers, and planners with population data, especially updated population counts of all barangays in the country, for use as bases in their social and economic development plans, policies, and programs. The census of population is the source of information on the size and distribution of the population, as well as its demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. These information are vital for making rational plans and programs for local and national development. The population sizes and their geographic distribution were presented in the regional volumes of POPCEN 2015 Report No. 1 (Population Count by Province, City/Municipality, and Barangay) . The population counts down to barangay level were declared official for all purposes by former President Benigno S. Aquino III under Presidential Proclamation No. 1269 dated 13 May 2016. Report No. 1 also presents the household population size, number of households, and average household size (AHS) by city/municipality. Content and Coverage of this Publication This publication, POPCEN 2015 Report No. 2 (Demographic and Socioeconomic Characteristics) presents the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the population, which were collected using the CP Form 2 (Household Questionnaire) and CP Form 4 (Institutional Population Questionnaire). Below are the data presented using total population: • Age and sex distribution, • Age and sex indicators, • Marital status, • Religious affiliation, and • Highest grade/year completed. This report also presents the characteristics of the household population in terms of the following: • Relationship to the household head, • School attendance, • Literacy, • Overseas worker, and • Usual activity/occupation. The POPCEN 2015 Report No. 2 is published by province and highly urbanized city (HUC), for a total of 105 publications, including the national volume. Philippine Statistics Authority ix Explanatory Text Authority to Conduct the POPCEN 2015 The authority and mandate of PSA to conduct the POPCEN 2015 emanates from Republic Act (RA) No. 10625 and Executive Order (EO) No. 352. RA No. 10625, also known as the Philippine Statistical Act of 2013 , which was approved on September 12, 2013, states that “PSA shall be primarily

The methodology employed in the project combined the 2000 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), 2000 Labor Force Survey (LFS) and 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) to estimate poverty incidence, poverty gap, and poverty severity for the provincial and municipal levels. We acknowledge with thanks the valuable assistance provided by the Project Consultants, Dr. Stephen Haslett and Dr. Geoffrey Jones of the Statistics Research and Consulting Centre, Massey University, New Zealand. Ms. Caridad Araujo, for the assistance in the preliminary preparations for the project; and Dr. Peter Lanjouw of the World Bank for the continued support. The Project Consultants prepared Chapters 1 to 8 of the report with Mr. Joseph M. Addawe, Rey Angelo Millendez, and Amando Patio, Jr. of the NSCB Poverty Team, assisting in the data preparation and modeling. Chapters 9 to 11 were prepared mainly by the NSCB Project Staff after conducting validation workshops in selected provinces of the country and the project’s national dissemination forum. It is hoped that the results of this project will help local communities and policy makers in the formulation of appropriate programs and improvements in the targeting schemes aimed at reducing poverty.

The Philippines is a consumer, source, and transit point for IWT, threatening endemic species populations, economic development, and biodiversity. The country has been a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity since 1992. The value of IWT in the Philippines is estimated at ₱50 billion a year (roughly equivalent to $1billion), which includes the market value of wildlife and its resources, their ecological role and value, damage to habitats incurred during poaching, and loss in potential

Main agenda The Food Security and Agriculture (FSAC) cluster and the Early Recovery and Ajambar Rai April 7, 2014 Livelihood (ER & L) cluster will now hold joint meetings together beginning April 7, (FSAC/FAO) 2014 as agreed upon by members of both clusters during their respective cluster meetings. The joint meetings are now scheduled every other Tuesday at 1PM Enrika Hidalgo starting April 22, 2014. (ER & L) The changes corresponding to the cluster meeting structure were based on rational and practical reasons considering the fact that there are commonality of issues and concerns in both clusters, the same government counterparts and identical humanitarian partners and NGO’s on the ground involving the two clusters. Cluster members for both clusters see this as a strategic move, a viable mean to strengthen coordination mechanism, information sharing and collaborative discussions on similar issues and possible joint explorations of solutions or interventions. But there is no merger of clusters, FSAC and ER & L clusters retain their independent SRP and reporting process. 2. Updates from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) A.
