Research and Statistics Section iii Provincial Planning and Development Office PROVINCE OF ILOILO 2014 Annual Provincial Profile Republic of the Philippines Province of Iloilo Message of the Vice Governor evelopment does not happen easily, nor is it hopelessly difficult to achieve. It needs careful planning, involving everyone concerned, communicating regularly, establishing a clear goal for the projected change, executing the plans, and reinforcing the change once it is in place. AD famous quote from Mahatma Gandhi states that, “Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.” Thus, development is only confirmed if the condition of the society changes positively. As Ilonggos continue to struggle hand-in-hand for recovery from the catastrophic disaster in 2013, the provincial government has been successful in leading the progression of the province. The rehabilitation and improvement of infrastructure facilities needed to support economic growth is given utmost importance same with the agriculture-based industries such as vegetable production, swine raising, fishery, livestock and other forms of livelihood. The area of risk reduction and disaster preparedness has been advanced and there is continuous increase of undertakings in trade and commerce. Moreover, the social services are also being strengthened in terms of upgraded hospitals and wide- ranging medical programs. I commend the Provincial Planning and Development Office for the time and effort in gathering of data from different departments and agencies to provide us not only concise but significant information to be used as reference in identifying available resources for local development and in determining the current physical, social and political condition of the province. The annual preparation of this document allows the readers, policy makers, investors, benefactors and the private sector to make evaluation and assess the changes or development as well as formulate predictions for future socio- economic expansion. As one, let us remain committed in reaching our goal to attain political solidity and economic success, prioritizing the interest of the people above all. RAUL “BOBOY” C. TUPAS Vice Governor Research and Statistics Section iv Provincial Planning and Development Office PROVINCE OF ILOILO 2014 Annual Provincial Profile Republic of the Philippines Province of Iloilo Message of the PPDC ast November 8, 2013, Typhoon Yolanda, one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded, devastated portions of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines. It was the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record, killing at L least 6,300 people in this country alone. Relief and rehabilitation efforts from international and national agencies which followed, made use of relief maps and information from publications such as this as baseline to augment current damage area assessments in planning where their assistance is necessary. That catastrophe and many other similar to it, show the invaluable importance of reliable and timely data which this profile aims to provide. Not only at these situations are these data useful; this publication has also been utilized in investment promotion portfolios, economic fora and other activities beneficial to the development of the province. Rest assured continuing efforts would be made to make this publication more relevant, timely and responsive to the needs of investors, academe and planners. Proactivism will be the main thrust in delivering these data. We hope that this publication, the Socio-Economic Profile of the Province of Iloilo for calendar year 2014, serves its purpose. MARIO N.
