EXPLANATORY TEXT

Introduction

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) conducted the census-taking for the 2015 Census of Population (POPCEN 2015) in August to September 2015. 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 ) . 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.

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 responsible for all national censuses and surveys, sectoral statistics, consolidation of administrative recording system, and compilation of national accounts”. Specifically, Section 6(b) of this Act mandates PSA “to prepare and conduct periodic censuses on population, housing, agriculture, fisheries, business, industry, and other sectors of the economy”.

EO No. 352 – Designation of Statistical Activities That Will Generate Critical Data for Decision-Making of the Government and the Private Sector , stipulates the conduct of a mid-decade census primarily to update the population count in all barangays nationwide.

Moreover, Presidential Proclamation No. 1031, Declaring August 2015 as National Census Month , enjoined all departments and other government agencies, including government-owned and - controlled corporations, as well as local government units (LGUs) to implement and execute the operational plans, directives, and orders of the PSA Board through PSA, relative to this proclamation.

Coordination for the POPCEN 2015

At the national level, a National Census Coordinating Board (NCCB), composed primarily of the members of the PSA Board was created for POPCEN 2015. The National Statistician (NS) acted as the Executive Officer of the NCCB, with the Secretary for Socioeconomic Planning of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) as Chairperson. PSA Board Resolution No. 07, Series of 2014 - Designating the PSA Board as the NCCB for the POPCEN 2015, and Approving its Terms of Reference (TOR) and Assistance to be Rendered to the PSA also enjoined all agencies and instrumentalities of the national government, particularly the member-agencies of the NCCB to provide assistance to PSA in connection with POPCEN 2015.

As part of the PSA Board’s function of establishing mechanisms for statistical coordination at the regional and LGU levels, the PSA Board has approved PSA Board Resolution No. 09, Series of 2014 - Approving the Composition and TOR of the Regional, Provincial, City, and Municipal Census Coordinating Boards for the POPCEN 2015 .

The Regional Statistical Services Office (RSSO) was responsible for the entire census operation in the region. Specifically, it was responsible for the coordination, monitoring, and supervision of the conduct of enumeration in the areas under its jurisdiction. As stipulated in the PSA Board Resolution No. 09, Series of 2014, the PSA Regional Director (RD) acted as the Executive Officer of the Regional Census Coordinating Board (RCCB), with the NEDA RD as Chairperson. In the Autonomous Region in Muslim (ARMM), the RD coordinated with the ARMM regional government regarding the conduct of the POPCEN 2015, including the organization and convening of the R/P/C/MCCBs, with TORs and membership in accordance with PSA Board Resolution No. 09, whenever appropriate and practicable. In the case of the National Capital Region (NCR) where there is no NEDA regional office, an official of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) was designated as chairperson of the RCCB.

The Provincial Statistics Officer (PSO) of the PSA Provincial Statistical Office (PO) acted as the Executive Officer of the Provincial Census Coordinating Board (PCCB), with the Provincial Governor as Chairperson. Due to the absence of provinces in NCR, no PCCBs were established in the region.

x Philippine Statistics Authority Explanatory Text

At the city/municipality level, the statistician/permanent staff of the PO acted as the Executive Officer of the City/Municipal Census Coordinating Board (C/MCCB), with the City/Municipal as Chairperson.

The POPCEN 2015 Field Organization

PSA, headed by the NS, was the agency mandated to formulate and execute plans for POPCEN 2015. All directives pertaining to the census emanated from the Office of the NS. The NS was the Chairperson of the Census Steering Committee (CSC) for POPCEN 2015. The CSC was responsible for the overall guidance of the conduct of the census. The NS was assisted by the Deputy National Statistician (DNS) of the Census and Technical Coordination Office (CTCO). Specific instructions and orders were delegated to the field supervisors through a chain of command.

For the entire duration of the census, the DNS of CTCO, together with the Assistant National Statistician (ANS) of the CTCO-National Censuses Service (NCS) supervised the entire operations of the census. Under the supervision of the ANS of NCS was the Population and Housing Census Division (PHCD), which was responsible for the planning, implementation, and technical supervision of the census operations. The ANS of the CTCO-Information Technology and Dissemination Service (ITDS), on the other hand, supervised the Systems Development Division (SDD), the unit responsible for the development of the entire machine processing system of the census in the Field Offices (FOs) and Central Office (CO); as well as the Systems Operations and Infrastructure Division (SOID), which spearheaded all census mapping activities. The ANS of the Finance and Administrative Service (FAS), under the Civil Registration and Central Support Office (CRCSO), meanwhile, was responsible for transferring funds to FOs and the procurement and other logistics requirements at the national level. Both ITDS and FAS closely coordinated with NCS on all POPCEN 2015 concerns to ensure the smooth flow of operation. The POPCEN 2015 Census Project Staff (CPS 2015) which was created at NCS, served as the monitoring hub and communications and action center for the nationwide undertaking. All communications to and from CO and FOs were sent to CPS 2015.

At the regional level, RSSO was responsible for the entire census operation in the region. Specifically, it was responsible for the coordination, monitoring, and supervision of the conduct of enumeration in the areas under its jurisdiction.

Further, RSSO managed the POPCEN 2015 Data Processing Center (DPC 2015) in the provinces under its jurisdiction, as well as the POPCEN 2015 Scan Station (SS 2015) in RSSO, if any. DPC 2015 was responsible for the manual and machine processing of the Census of Population (CP) forms and maps. SS 2015, on the other hand, took charge of the scanning/interpretation and archiving of the forms and maps. Selected DPC 2015 had their own SS 2015.

A Regional Census Project Staff (RCPS) was formed in RSSO. It was headed by the Chief of the Statistical Operations and Coordination Division (SOCD) in RSSO and included concerned statistical and other permanent staff, and hired census staff. The RCPS was in charge of all aspects of the census in the region, including data processing and evaluation.

At the provincial level, PO was directly responsible for the coordination, monitoring, and supervision of the field operations in the areas under its jurisdiction.

PO supervised the operations in DPC 2015. Further, all provinces designated to host the entire machine processing had direct supervision over the scanning/interpretation and archiving of the CP forms and maps in DPC 2015.

A Provincial Census Project Staff (PCPS) was established in PO. It was headed by a permanent statistician of the PO. The PCPS was in charge of all aspects of the census in the province, including data processing and evaluation.

Philippine Statistics Authority xi Explanatory Text

The Head Census Area Supervisor (CAS), who was a statistician/permanent staff of PO was responsible, on a fulltime basis, for the coordination, supervision, and monitoring of the conduct of enumeration in the cities/municipalities under his/her jurisdiction. He/She supervised all the hired CASs assigned in his/her areas. The number of hired CASs supervised by a Head CAS depended on the number of PO statisticians/staff available and the number of hired CASs in PO.

The hired CAS was responsible for a group of five teams, with each team consisting of one team supervisor (TS) and four enumerators (ENs). Generally, his/her teams covered a city/municipality. However, in big cities or municipalities, two or more hired CASs were assigned.

The TS was in charge of supervising around four ENs. He/She was responsible to report to his/her CAS the progress of enumeration in the areas assigned to him/her.

The EN, on the other hand, was responsible for the complete enumeration in the area/s assigned to him/her.

Method of Enumeration

The gathering of population and housing data was performed by the census ENs through house-to-house visits and interview of a responsible member of each household. Self-Administered Questionnaires (SAQs) and/or Electronic Questionnaires (E-QNs) were provided to households living in special areas, such as high-rise buildings/condominiums, exclusive subdivisions/villages and townhouses, and institutional living quarters (ILQs) where personal interview was not possible. A complete listing of buildings which contain living quarters, including the vacant ones, as well as housing units and ILQs was also done.

A complete enumeration was conducted in all barangays nationwide to obtain the population count and data on selected demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the household population. Also asked were selected housing characteristics. For institutional population, selected demographic and socioeconomic characteristics were likewise gathered.

Information about households of Filipinos working in Philippine embassies, consulates, and missions in foreign countries, as well as those of the homeless population were also gathered and included in the total population of the country.

Definition of Census Terms and Concepts

Most of the operational definitions and concepts adopted in POPCEN 2015 have also been used in past censuses of population. The use of the same operational definitions of terms and concepts and adherence to national and international standards in population censuses aimed at ensuring the comparability of census results across different census years and census data of other countries. The POPCEN 2015 ENs were instructed to adhere strictly to these operational definitions.

Barangay

A barangay is the smallest political unit in the country. Generally, one EN was assigned to enumerate one barangay. To facilitate enumeration, large barangays were divided into parts, and each part was called an enumeration area (EA).

The official list of barangays of DILG based on the Philippine Standard Geographic Code (PSGC) as of December 2015 was used for POPCEN 2015.

xii Philippine Statistics Authority Explanatory Text

Usual place of residence

All persons were enumerated in their usual place of residence, which refers to the geographic place (street, sitio/purok, barangay, city/municipality or province) where the person usually resides. As a rule, a person’s usual place of residence is the place where he/she sleeps most of the time. Hence, it may be the same as or different from the place where he/she was found at the time of the census.

Building

A building is defined as any structure built, designed or intended for the enclosure, shelter or protection of any person, animal or property. It consists of one or more rooms and/or other spaces, covered by a roof, and usually enclosed within external walls or with common dividing walls with adjacent buildings, which usually extend from the foundation to the roof.

For purposes of the census, only those buildings which contained living quarters, whether occupied or vacant, were listed.

Living quarters are structurally separate and independent places of abode. They may:

1. have been constructed, built, converted or arranged for human habitation, provided that they were not, at the time of the census, used wholly for other purposes, or 2. have been constructed for purposes other than human habitation but were actually used as living quarters at the time of the census.

Housing unit

A housing unit is a structurally separate and independent place of abode which, by the way it has been constructed, converted or arranged, is intended for habitation by one or more households. Structures or parts of structures which were not intended for habitation, such as commercial, industrial, and agricultural buildings, or natural and man-made shelters such as boats, abandoned trucks, culverts, and others, but which were used as living quarters by households, were also considered as housing units.

Housing Units Identified in a Building

A housing unit is generally intended for habitation by one household. However, in some cases, two or more households may share the same building or the same housing unit as their place of habitation. The building may have more than one housing unit but from its physical layout, the different housing units may not be discernible.

A portion of a building (a room or a group of rooms) qualified as a separate housing unit if it met both the following requirements:

1. Separateness – the portion of a building had facilities for sleeping, preparing and taking meals, and its occupants were isolated from other households in the building by means of walls or permanent partitions, and 2. Direct access – the portion of the building had direct access from the outside of the building, that is, the occupants can come in to the portion of the building without passing through anybody else’s premises from the street, pathway, alley, road, yard, catwalk, public or communal staircase, passage, gallery, ground or through a common hall.

Philippine Statistics Authority xiii Explanatory Text

Housing Units Listed

Only the following housing units were listed:

1. Occupied or vacant housing units (VHUs) in single residential houses, 2. Occupied or VHUs in multi-unit residential buildings such as duplex, accessoria or row houses, condominiums, tenement houses, townhouses, and others, 3. Occupied barong-barong or shanties, 4. VHUs in residential buildings with one or more housing units presently not occupied by households but used for purposes other than residential, 5. Housing units which were still under construction, but the roof and walls were already in place, 6. Occupied housing units in ILQs such as hotels, motels, dormitories, lodging houses, seminaries, mental hospitals, and others, 7. Occupied housing units in nonresidential buildings such as offices, rice mills, barns, churches, and others, 8. VHUs with complete facilities for cooking, dining, and sleeping in ILQs and nonresidential buildings, 9. Occupied mobile housing units such as boats, trailers, and others, and 10. Occupied improvised housing units in structures such as culverts, abandoned trucks, caves, container vans, tents, and railroad cars.

Institutional living quarter

The place of abode of an institutional population is not called a housing unit; it is referred to as an ILQ. An ILQ is a structurally separate and independent place of abode intended for habitation by large groups of individuals (10 or more). Such quarter usually has certain common facilities such as kitchen and dining room, toilet and bath, and lounging area, which are shared by the occupants.

Household

A household is a social unit consisting of a person living alone or a group of persons who sleep in the same housing unit and have a common arrangement in the preparation and consumption of food.

In most cases, a household consists of persons who are related by kinship ties, such as parents and their children. In some instances, however, several generations of familial ties are represented in one household while, still in others, even more distant relatives are considered as members of the household.

Household helpers, boarders, and nonrelatives were considered members of the household, provided that they slept in the same housing unit and had common arrangement in the preparation and consumption of food and did not usually go home to their family at least once a week.

A person who shared a housing unit with a household but separately cooked his/her meals or consumed his/her food elsewhere was not considered a member of the household he/she shared the housing unit with. This person was listed as a separate household.

Household population

Household population comprises persons who belong to a household. The basic criterion in determining household membership is the usual place of residence or the place where the person usually resides. This may be the same or different from the place where he/she is found at the time of the census. It is the place where he/she usually sleeps.

xiv Philippine Statistics Authority Explanatory Text

Institutional population

Institutional population comprises persons who are found living in ILQs. They may have their own families or households elsewhere but at the time of the census, they are committed or confined in institutions, or they live in ILQs and are usually subject to a common authority or management, or are bound by either a common public objective or a common personal interest.

Who Were Enumerated

As in past censuses, ENs of POPCEN 2015 were provided with guidelines on whom to list as members of a household and ILQ. This helped ensure uniformity in determining household membership, institutional population, and in identifying persons to be included in the enumeration or excluded from it. Further, this prevented omission or duplication in the enumeration of persons and households during the census-taking. The following guidelines were used in determining the household membership and institutional population:

Persons enumerated as members of the household

1. Those who were present at the time of the visit and whose usual place of residence was the housing unit where the household lived, 2. Family members who were overseas workers and who were away at the time of the census and were expected to be back within five years from the date of their last departure, 3. Those whose usual place of residence was the place where the household lived but were temporarily away at the time of the census for any of the following reasons: a. on vacation, business/pleasure trip, or training somewhere in the Philippines and were expected to be back within six months from the date of their departure, b. on vacation, business/pleasure trip, or studying/training abroad and were expected to be back within a year from the date of their departure, c. working or attending school outside their usual place of residence but usually came home at least once a week, d. confined in hospitals for a period of not more than six months as of the time of enumeration, except when they were confined as patients in mental hospitals, leprosaria/leper colonies or drug rehabilitation centers, regardless of the duration of their confinement, e. detained in national/provincial/city/municipal jails or in military camps for a period of not more than six months at the time of enumeration, except when their sentence or detention was expected to exceed six months, f. on board coastal, interisland, or fishing vessels within Philippine territories, and g. on board oceangoing vessels but were expected to be back within five years from the date of their departure, 4. Boarders/lodgers of a household or employees of household-operated businesses who did not usually return/go to their respective homes weekly, 5. Citizens of foreign countries who had resided or were expected to reside in the Philippines for at least a year from their arrival, except members of diplomatic missions and non-Filipino members of international organizations, 6. Filipino balikbayans with usual place of residence in a foreign country but had resided or were expected to reside in the Philippines for at least a year from their arrival, and 7. Those temporarily staying with the household who had no usual place of residence or who were not certain to be enumerated elsewhere.
