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 the 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 are updates on selected statistics on the Filipino women, in observance of the Women’s Month. This year’s celebration focuses on the economic empowerment of women with the theme: CEDAW ng Bayan – Babae Tagumpay ka ng bayan! or simply the achievements of women paving the way for advancement and empowerment.

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.
