  • EXPLANATORY NOTES

    Introduction

    Vital events refer to births, marriages, deaths, fetal deaths, and all such events that have something to do with an individual's entrance and departure from life, together with the changes in civil status that may have occurred during his or her lifetime. Recording of these events in the civil register is known as vital or civil registration.

    Scope and Coverage

    The Vital Statistics Report (VSR) Volume 1 includes marriages that occurred in 2017 compiled from the reports submitted to and received by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) from all Local Civil Registrars (LCR) of the country, Shari’a District Courts and from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on all registered vital events with Philippine Foreign Service Posts (PFSP) involving Filipino nationals living and sojourning abroad.

    Civil registration is a continuous process. Hence, there is a need to establish certain cut-off periods. The data presented here are marriages that occurred in 2017 but received from the City/Municipal Civil Registrars (C/MCRs) and submitted to the PSA Central Office from January 2017 to March 2018. Marriages occurred in 2017 but were received beyond March 2018 were no longer included in this report.

    The rationale in the publication of the VSR is to update the vital statistics data to more current levels to be able to

    provide important information in the civil status of persons as well as to generate demographic and health indicators that may help in the assessment of health/social services provided by the government. It will also provide national and local executives with information on the level of registration of vital events at the city/municipality level and will also serve as a means of monitoring the implementation of the civil registration system.

    Basic Sources of Vital Statistics

    The PSA, which took over the civil registration function of the former National Statistics Office (NSO) pursuant to Article 4 of Republic Act No. 10625, otherwise known as the “Philippine Statistical Act of 2013”, maintains an Archive of Civil Registry documents. In the civil registration system, there are several basic forms needed to record marriages from where vital statistics are generated. In this report, the Certificate of Marriage or Municipal Form No. 97 is the source of data. A facsimile of this form is found in Appendix B.

    The VSR Volume 1 contains statistical tables including basic data on marriages up to the city/municipality level. Summary data are also available at the provincial and regional levels for ready reference. However, due to the number of pages devoted in the production of statistical tables, only a limited number is presented in this report.

  • Limitations of the VSR

    Act No. 3753 otherwise known as the Civil Registration Law of 1930 mandates that all vital events shall be registered. However, due to lack of awareness of the people on the importance of civil registration, especially in remote areas, there is still a problem of under-registration of vital events. The increasing number of late registrations also poses a problem in updating the published vital statistics report in the past.

    Another source of under-reporting in the VSR is the late submission of reports by most of the concerned agencies. Moreover, in the processing of vital documents, there is usually a cut-off time of inclusion. After this, the documents that are submitted late are no longer included in the current year being compiled.

    In view of the above limitations, caution is necessary in the interpretation of data, since information presented is not adjusted for under registration, both for local and foreign vital events. Marked fluctuations in vital events that may be observed for specific areas may not necessarily reflect differentials, but rather an indication of variations in registration and/or registered submission of events.

    Responsibility in the registration of vital events

    Registration of vital events is the responsibility of the Local Government Units (LGU) through the LCR who are under the technical supervision of the Civil Registrar General (CRG) of the

    NSO by virtue of the provisions of Act No. 3753. However, pursuant to the Philippine Statistical Act of 2013, the PSA took over the civil registration function of NSO with the National Statistician (NS) as the CRG who provides overall directions in the implementation of the Civil Registry Law and related issuances and exercises technical supervision over the LCR.

    For marriages, the solemnizing officers from various religious sects and denominations who officiate the marriage ceremonies are responsible in causing the registration and certifying the facts of the events at the LCR offices. The contracting parties, a witness or the person who has full knowledge of the occurrence of the event shall report the marriage, in default of the above-mentioned informants.

    Meanwhile, reports of marriages occurring abroad from the PFSPs are forwarded to the DFA and subsequently submitted to the PSA - Civil Registration Service.

    For the registration process of the civil registration system, see Appendix C.

    Definition of terms and concepts

    Civil Registrar General is the national official in charged with the implementation and enforcement of the Civil Registry Law. As provided for by law, the National Statistician (NS) of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is the Civil Registrar General (CRG).

    x

  • Civil Registration is defined as the continuous, permanent and compulsory recording of the occurrences and characteristics of vital events, primarily for their value as legal documents and secondly for their usefulness as a source of statistics.

    Crude Marriage Rate refers to annual number of marriages per 1,000 population.

    Daily Average refers to the arithmetic mean of marriage occurrences per day.

    Daily Index is the increase/decrease from the overall daily average of marriage occurrences.

    Delayed Registration refers to the registration of an event beyond the reglementary period as specified in existing laws, rules and regulations.

    District Registrar is the clerk of the Shari’a District Court acting in the performance of their function under Title VI, Book II of P.D. 1083 and A.O. 1, s. 2005 (A.O.1,S.2005). He shall send copies in accordance with Act No. 3753, as amended, to the office of the Civil Registrar-General. (Art. 82, P.D. 1083).

    Local Civil Registrar is the official in-charged with the duty of implementing or enforcing the provisions of the Civil Registry Law and its implementing rules and regulations in the city or municipality.

    Marriage is a special contract of permanent union between a man and a woman entered into in accordance with law for the establishment of conjugal and family life. (Nikha) among Muslim Filipinos is not only a civil contract but a social institution. Its nature, consequences and incidents are governed by P.D. 1083 and the Shari’a, and are not subject to stipulations, except that the marriage settlements may, to a certain extent, fix the property relations of the spouses. (Article 14, P.D. No. 1083).

    Place of Occurrence refers to the place where the vital event took place.

    Place of Registration refers to the city/municipality where the event is to be registered. Generally, it is the office of the Local Civil Registrar of the place of occurrence.

    Shari’a refers to all the ordinances and regulations governing Muslims as found principally in the Qur’an and the Hadith.

    Sex Ratio refers to the number of males per one hundred females.

    Usual Residence refers to the place where the person habitually or permanently resides.

    Vital Statistics are derived from information obtained at the time when the occurrences of vital events and their characteristics are inscribed in a civil register.

    In 2017, at the regional level, Region IV-A recorded the highest number of registered marriages, which accounted for 13.4 percent of the total. It was followed by NCR (12.8%) and Region III (11.7%). (See Figure 2 and Table B)

    Furthermore, these three regions were the only regions which consistently contributed more than 10 percent of the recorded marriages in the Philippines; and maintained their ranks in the top three positions in the past five years. (See Table B)

  • Fourteen out of 17 regions showed a positive percent change from the year 2016 to 2017, with the top three found in Mindanao. The highest increase was observed in ARMM with 43.3 percent, followed by Region XII and Region X with 11.8 percent and 9.6 percent, respectively.

    On the other hand, the only three regions with declining percent change are Region IX (-12.1%), Region II (-5.9%) and Region XIII (-4.9%). (See Figure 3 and Table B)

  • ❖ MONTHLY AND DAILY MARRIAGES

    The months of May (11.6%), December (11.5%) and February (10.4%) accounted for one-third of the total number of marriages in 2017 in terms of percent distribution. These are also the months that recorded more than 10 percent of the total marriages.

    The month of November was the least likely preferred month for marriage, recording the lowest percentage at 5.0 percent. (See Figure 4)

    Table C shows that May is the only month recorded a daily index greater than 100.0 in all regions.

    On the other hand, the months of July, October and November recorded a daily index that falls below 100.0 in all regions. (See Table C)
