PREFACE
The Journal of Philippine Statistics (JPS) is a quarterly publication of the National Statistics Office (NSO). It furnishes data users with statistical information on the socioeconomic development of the country in accordance with NSO’s mission of providing timely, accurate, and reliable information as bases for plans, policies and decisions, and as inputs to academic pursuits, researches, and development projects.
The statistical series contained in this publication are updated for continuity and for comparative analysis whenever possible. Tabular data usually cover two or more periods for maximum comparability.
This issue presents the latest available statistics on population and housing; labor and employment; travel and tourism; social welfare, and community development; education and culture; health, nutrition and vital statistics; and defense, crime and delinquency.
Featured in this issue is a profile of the tourism industry in the Philippines. Tourism is a major economic contributor to the Philippine economy. It is recognized by the government as an important contributor to the generation of foreign exchange earnings, investments, revenue, employment and to the growth of the country’s output. The inclusion of tourism as a major pillar in the Medium Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) has given priority to the tourism sector by promoting the Philippines as a premier tourist destination and investment site.
Most of the statistics shown here were taken from surveys and censuses conducted by the NSO and other offices, as well as from administrative forms or records compiled by various agencies. Acknowledgment, therefore, is extended to all secondary data sources without whose cooperation and support, the consolidation of information and the publication of this journal would not have been possible.

classified crimes either as public or private. Public crimes are those that directly endanger the society and its constituents such as those committed against national security, laws of the state, public order, public interest, and public morals, including drug-related offenses and those committed by public officers in the performance of their duty as civil servants. Private crimes, on the other hand, are those that afflict individuals or persons directly but endanger society on the whole, such as crimes against persons (destruction of life, parricide, murder, homicide, infanticide and abortion, and physical injuries); personal liberty and security; and crimes against property, chastity, and honor.
