Report No. 3 – Population, Land Area, and Population Density is among the series of publications that present the results of the POPCEN 2015. This publication provides information on the population size, land area, and population density by region, province, highly urbanized city, and city/municipality based on the data from population census conducted by the PSA in the years 2000, 2010, and 2015; and data on land area by city/municipality as of December 2013 that was provided by the Land Management Bureau (LMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Also presented in this report is the percent change in the population density over the three census years. The population density shows the relationship of the population to the size of land where the population resides.

    Darwin Initiative for the Survival of Species Half Year Report (due 31 October each year) Project Ref. No. 13025 Project Title Pioneering Community-Based Conservation Sites in the Polillo Islands Country(ies) Philippines UK Organisation Fauna and Flora International Collaborator(s) Polillo Islands Biodiversity Conservation Foundation, Inc. Report date April 2006-September 2006 Report No. (HYR HYR #2 1/2/3/4) Project website 1. Outline progress over the last 6 months (April – September) against the agreed baseline timetable for the project Key accomplishments during the period April-September 2006 were as follows: 1. Biological surveys completed and priority sites selected and mapped. Biological surveys were completed in two more key areas during this period, namely Barangay Anibawan in Aluyon and Sitio Litid, Barangay Lipata in Panukulan. Full technical reports on these surveys are being prepared and will be summarised in future reports. A preliminary ‘marine resource assessment’ was completed in September by four scientists from the UK NGO, Coral Cay Conservation (CCC), assisted by PIBCFI personnel. This project was prompted by recommendations arising from earlier surveys, and involved rapid assessments of coral cover, and coral and fish diversity, in 12 discrete sites in coral reefs fringing Polillo and Burdeos Municipalities. Results indicate that over-fishing, especially cyanide and dynamite fishing, remains a serious problem in most areas, though areas of good to excellent reef cover, and high species diversity and abundance were confirmed in fish sanctuaries established and managed by local communities in some areas. Findings and recommendations arising from this project and the earlier surveys will now be used to develop new project funding proposals intended to extend these surveys, conduct awareness campaigns and assist implementation of relevant conservation management interventions in selected, highest priority areas.

  • Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines
    Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines November 2005 Republika ng Pilipinas PAMBANSANG LUPON SA UGNAYANG PANG-ESTADISTIKA (NATIONAL STATISTICAL COORDINATION BOARD) http://www.nscb.gov.ph in cooperation with The WORLD BANK Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines FOREWORD This report is part of the output of the Poverty Mapping Project implemented by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) with funding assistance from the World Bank ASEM Trust Fund. 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 new species is diagnosed from other Philippine Pseudogekko by body size and shape, color pattern, and multiple differences in scale characteristics. Pseudogekko isapa sp. nov. has been collected only twice from leaves of shrubs in forested habitat on Sibuyan and Tablas islands. The distinctive new species of false gecko is un- doubtedly endemic to this single, isolated island group.

    Municipality of Patnanungan, Quezon Province Biyo-Inusukan LCA The forests of Inusukan and Biyo have been identified as priority areas for conservation in Patnanungan, Quezon. Inusukan forest lies at the northwest portion of the island across the boundaries of barangays Amaga and Patnanungan Norte. Biyo forest on the other hand is found towards the northeast portion of the island, adjacent to Inusukan forest, and is situated between barangays Kilogan and Patnanungan Norte. The Biyo-Inusukan LCA spans the northern section of the mountain ridge of Patnanungan Island, and covers some flat low-lying areas on its western portion. It has a total land area of 614 hectares and contains about 339 hectares of forest (or 55% of its land area). It is situated over four barangays, namely: Kilogan, Luod, Amaga, and Patnanungan Norte. The largest portion of the total land Lumong-Tibalao LCA area of the LCA with 419.9 hectares (68.4%) is situated in Brgy. Patnanungan Lumong and Tibalao have also been identified as priority Norte, followed by Brgy. Amaga with areas for conservation in Patnanungan, Quezon. 159.3 hectares (25.9%), Brgy.
