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 is an update on the footwear industry which started simply as a backyard trade in the then municipality of Marikina.

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.

Footwear Industry: An Update Introduction This journal presented a profile of the shoe industry in the Philippines sometime in the 1980’s. The following discussion aims to give an update on the footwear industry, its overall standing, its problems, and certain opportunities. Shoe-making began in Marikina in 1887 through the pioneering efforts of Don Laureano "Kapitan Moy" Guevarra, assisted by Tiburcio Eustaquio, Ambrocio Sta. Ines, and Gervacio Carlos. Marikina, then, emerged as a town of shoemakers. Today, footwear manufacturers are geographically dispersed in Metro Manila, Laguna, Antipolo, Bulacan, Cebu and in the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) areas like Cavite, Bataan, Mactan, and Subic. Footwear made in these places have their distinct characteristics. For instance, shoes manufactured in Marikina are mostly

dressed, handcrafted leather shoes for medium to high-end users. Laguna is known for its ladies dress and casual synthetic leather shoes while Rizal is famous for its slippers and sandals. PEZA locators, on the other hand, are manufacturing athletic or rubber shoes of well-known brands such as Nike and Tretorn. According to the Board of Investments (BOI), product coverage of the industry includes leather footwear, which are dress shoes, non-leather footwear, sports footwear, slippers and sandals, and parts of footwear, described as follows: Leather footwear - includes footwear with leather uppers and outer soles of leather, rubber, plastic, wood, cork, or other materials Non-leather footwear - includes footwear with uppers of rubber, plastic, textile or other materials and outer soles of rubber, plastic, wood, cork, or other materials Sports footwear - includes footwear with uppers of leather, rubber, plastic, textile or other materials, specifically for athletic or sports purposes Slipper and sandals - includes footwear with uppers of leather, rubber, plastic, textile or other materials and outer soles of leather, rubber, plastic, wood, cork or other materials Parts of footwear - includes stiffeners, outer soles, uppers, gaiters, shoe shanks, cleats, toe caps, rubber straps, or similar articles.

Most of the manufacturers are family-owned where the management is handed down from generation to generation. The enterprises range from micro to medium scale industries and the products are commonly for medium to high-end markets. Many companies are also accepting subcontracting arrangements with department stores and boutique owners. Factories of popular local brands such as Chancellor, Colours, Gibi, Figlia, Mendrez, Rusty Lopez, and Valentino are found in Marikina. Only a handful of companies have ventured into export. Raw materials used in footwear manufacture are both local and imported. Local raw materials are tanned leather usually used in wrapping while imported ones are synthetic leather and some metal parts. Availability, quality, price and time span of delivery are some of the factors that concern raw materials. This can affect the production and price of the finished product. The major raw materials used in footwear manufacturing process are as follows: • Upper (synthetic leather, tanned) and upper lining (synthetic leather, tanned leather)

• Chemicals and adhesives

• Nails, threads and buckles

• Heels, insole and outsole

• Cotton tape

• Welt and foam

• Leather dressing, shoe laces and shanks

• Packaging and label Local Demand. Most of the footwear manufacturers seem to be contented with the local market for the following reasons: (1) higher profit margin, (2) lesser paper work, (3) lesser people to deal with and (4) no pressure

on the delivery time. Local markets rely on direct selling, boutiques, and department stores to sell their products. Few enterprises have their own stores. The industry’s highest production is during the months of October, November and May. This can be attributed to Christmas and school opening seasons. The lowest is during the month of July, caused by clearance and inventory sales. World Demand. The export performance of footwear manufacturers is striving with the economic crisis and stiff competition form other ASEAN nations. Several exporters were able to get licensing agreement with manufacturers of branded shoes like Nike, Tretorn, Adidas, Hush Puppies and Florshiem for children. In order to promote Philippine footwear in the world market, manufacturers or firms participate in trade fairs, business missions, and Internet or online brochures and catalogues. Incentives. Republic Act No. 9290, otherwise known as the Footwear, Leather Goods and Tannery Industries Development Act, grants incentives to accredited footwear enterprises for a maximum period of ten (10) years. Such incentives are as follows: • Zero duty on imported capital equipment

• Additional deduction of fifty percent (50%) from gross income for the expense incurred in training programs approved by appropriate agency

• Inclusion, promotion, advertising, and sale of locally manufactured finished product in duty-free shops and

• Tax credits. Firms can also register with the BOI if their products are for export. Under Book I of the Omnibus Investments Code, BOI-registered enterprises are given a number of incentives in the form of tax

Analysis of Tables

Number of footwear manufacturing establishments fold up The industry is facing some challenges, with many firms closing or folding up. In 2005, there were over 1,153 manufacturers employing 16,600 personnel. However, as of 2009, there were only 1,072 footwear-manufacturing companies in the country, which employed over 12,155 personnel. From 2005 to 2009, there was a 14.0 percent decline in employment and a 7.0 percent decline in the number of establishments in the footwear Industry (Table 1).


Almost three-fourths of footwear manufacturers are in Metro Manila and CALABARZON By location, 72.0 percent of establishments manufacturing footwear are located in the National Capital Region (NCR) and CALABARZON with 36.0 percent apiece, mostly because of the availability of the materials needed in manufacturing such merchandise (Figure 1). Membership in footwear federation decreases Based on the BOI registered firms as of 2009, the footwear industry consists of 24 firms with 30 projects generating an estimated employment of 11,060 people. As of December 2010, the members of the Philippine Footwear Federation, Inc. (PFFI) and the Sigla ni Kapitan Moy (Sikap Mo Inc.), two of the industry associations for the footwear industry, has decreased. They now have 58 and 35 members from 68 and 70 members, respectively. The CALABARZON-MIMAROPA region (San Mateo-Rizal, Biñan and Pagsanjan-Laguna) recorded some 384

footwear manufacturers with an estimated 3,600 workers as of 2009 . The footwear capital of Laguna, Liliw, is known for its fashionable “home-made” style slippers and shoes. The products are low-priced shoes, slippers or sandals, generally for the local market. The locators in PEZA, on the other hand, are big manufacturers owned by foreign investors or joint ventures with Philippine companies. These companies are all exporters and have highly mechanized equipment (Table 2). Footwear exports continue to dip Time is ticking hard for the industry as exports showed dips rather than improvements. In 2003, footwear exports amounted to US$45.96 million but declined by more than US$11.0 or by 25.0 percent in 2004 and dented further by more than half in 2005. Despite improvements in the succeeding years, recovery in terms of export value may be far, as 2009 value reached only US$23,442,648 (Table 3 and Figure 2).

Footwear imports on steady decline A great volume of imports is from China, which is at the same time the top exporter in the world. This can be

attributed to China’s cheap raw materials and labor cost. However, the United States of America (USA), which is top importer of footwear, is a third major Philippine export partner. Imported Philippine footwear as of 2009 was valued at US$43.15 million. Lowest importation in the period under review was that made in 2005 where a total of US$16.58 million was reported (Table 3 and Figure 3).

Netherlands top export partner Netherlands was the biggest user of Philippine footwear as of 2009. It paid for US$4.93 million (21.0%) and bested

the USA which brought in US $2.99 million (12.7%) followed by Mexico (6.4%), and France (3.9%), respectively (Table 4 and Figure 4). China remains top import partner China shared 44.3 percent of total Philippine footwear imports or US$19.11 million. Indonesia was on second with 14.6 percent, followed by Hong Kong (10.7%), Vietnam (10.5%), and Singapore (6.5%) (Table 5 and Figure 5).

Bacolod City Posts Nearly Half a Million Population (Results from the 2007 Census of Population) Introduction

In August 2007, the National Statistics Office (NSO) conducted the 2007 Census of Population. This nationwide undertaking was the 12th population census conducted in the country.

Like the previous censuses, the

2007 Census of Population is designed to take an inventory of the total population in the Philippines and to collect information about their characteristics. The census of population is the source of information on the size and distribution of the population as well as information about the demographic, social, economic, and cultural characteristics. These information are vital for making rational plans and

programs for national and local development.

Using 12:01 in the morning of

August 1, 2007 as reference period, all persons were enumerated in their usual place of residence, which is the geographic place (street, barangay, sitio, municipality, or province) where the persons usually reside.

Definition of Terms

Section I – POPULATION AND HOUSING

10

Median Age – age at which exactly half of the population is younger than this age and other half older it Overall dependency ratio – ratio of persons in the dependent ages (under 15 years old and over 64 years old) to persons in the working age (15 to 64 years old)

Analysis of Tables Total population rises to 499,497 persons Bacolod City, one of the country’s highly urbanized cities posted a total population of 499,497 persons as of August 1, 2007. This registered an increase of 70,421 persons over the total population of 429,076 persons in 2000. These figures translated to an annual population growth rate of 2.12 percent for the period 2000 to 2007. In 2007, the household population of Bacolod City increased to 496,802 persons from 427,292 persons in 2000. The number of households also rose from 87,441 in 2000 to 106,608 in 2007, registering an increase of 19,167 households. The average household size however, decreased slightly from 4.9 persons in 2000 to 4.7 persons in 2007 (Table 1.1). Taculing most populated barangay

Labor Force Survey January 2010 Concepts and Definitions

The Labor Force Survey (LFS) is a nationwide survey of households conducted quarterly by the National Statistics Office (NSO) to gather data on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the population. Data presented are based on the preliminary results of the January 2010 round of the LFS.

For comparative purposes, aside from the January 2010 results, the textual tables presented herein contain final estimates of the survey conducted in January 2009.

The reference period used in the

survey is the past seven days preceding the date of visit of the enumerator.

The concepts and definitions

used in the survey can be found in the regular NSO – Integrated Survey of Households (ISH) Bulletin. Some are given below:

Labor force – the population 15

years old and over which contributes to the production of goods and services in the country; comprises the employed and unemployed

Employed – persons in the labor

force who are reported as either at work or with a job or business although not at work; persons at work are those who did some work, even for an hour during the reference period

Unemployed – persons in the

labor force who have no job or business during the reference period and are reportedly looking for work; their desire to work is sincere and they are, therefore, serious about working; also included are persons without a job or business who are reportedly not looking for work because of the belief that no work was available or because of temporary illness, bad weather, or other valid reasons

Underemployed – employed

persons who express the desire to have additional hours of work in their present job or an additional job, or have a new job with longer working hours

Labor force participation rate

(LFPR) – ratio of total labor force to the total household population 15 years old and over

Employment rate – proportion of employed persons to the total labor force

Unemployment rate – proportion of

unemployed persons to the total labor force Underemployment rate – proportion

of underemployed persons to total employed persons.

Section II - LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT

LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT 27

Analysis of Tables

Employment rate remains stable at 92.7 percent

The number of employed persons

in January 2010 was estimated at 36.0 million increasing by 5.0 percent over last year’s estimate of 34.3 million persons. The employment rate estimated for January 2010 was 92.7 percent. This implies that nine in every 10 persons in the labor force were employed in January 2010. The current figure is not significantly different from the January 2009 rate which is 92.3 percent (Table 2.1). Labor force participation rate rises to 64.5 percent

The January 2010 LFS also

revealed that the labor force participation

rate is 64.5 percent. This means that the size of the labor force in January 2010 was approximately 38.8 million out of the estimated 60.2 million population 15 years and older for that period. Compared to the labor force participation rate in January 2009 (63.2%), the January 2010 rate is higher (Table 2.3). NCR records the lowest employment rate

Employment rates in the National Capital Region (NCR) (89.2%), CALABARZON (90.5%) and Central Luzon (91.0%) were lower than in all other regions. As in previous LFS, the NCR recorded the lowest employment rate. In terms of the labor force participation rate, the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) (59.2%), Ilocos Region (60.9%), Central Luzon (61.3%), NCR (62.8%), and CALABARZON (63.8%) posted lower

rates compared to the rest of the regions (Table 2.4). Bulk of workers are employed in the services sector

More than half (52.4%) of the

total employed persons in January 2010, which was estimated at 38.8 million, worked in the services sector, with those engaged in wholesale and retail trade, repair of motor vehicles, motorcycles and personal and household goods comprising the largest sub-sector (19.6% of the total employed). Workers in the agriculture sector comprised 32.8 percent of the total employed, with workers in agriculture; hunting and forestry making up the largest sub-sector

(28.7% of the total employed). Only 14.8 percent of the total employed were in the industry sector, with the manufacturing sub-sector making up the largest percentage (8.4% of the total employed) (Table 2.2). Laborers and unskilled workers comprise the biggest group

Among the various occupation

groups, laborers and unskilled workers comprised the largest group, posting 32.7 percent of the total employed persons in January 2010. Farmers, forestry workers and fishermen were the second largest group, accounting for 15.4 percent of the total employed population (Table 2.2).

Wage and salary workers are more than half of those employed

Employed persons fall into any of

these categories: wage and salary workers, own account workers and unpaid family workers. Wage and salary workers are those who work for private households, private establishments, government or government corporations and those who work with pay in own- family operated farm or business. More than half (55.8%) of the employed

persons were wage and salary workers. Among the wage and salary workers, more than one-third (33.6%) were own-account workers, and 10.6 percent worked for private establishments. Government workers or those working for government corporations comprised only 8.2 percent of the total employed, while 5.9 percent were workers in private households. Meanwhile, among the own account workers, the self-employed comprised the majority (29.4% of total employed) (Table 2.2). Seven in every ten employed work for 40 hours or more

Employed persons are classified as either full-time workers or part-time workers. Full-time workers are those who work for 40 hours or more while part-time workers work for less than 40 hours. In January 2010, seven in every 10 employed persons (64.6%) worked for 40 hours or more, while part-time workers were estimated at 34.2 percent of the total employed (Table 2.2). Number of underemployed persons rose by 13.9 percent

Employed persons who express the desire to have additional hours of work in their present job or to have additional job, or to have a new job with longer working hours are considered underemployed. The January 2010 LFS placed the underemployment rate at 19.7 percent. This means that approximately 7.1 million employed persons were underemployed in January 2010 as against 6.2 million in the 2009 survey round (Table 2.3).

More than half (57.0%) of the

total underemployed were reported as visibly underemployed or working for less than 40 hours during the reference week. Those working for 40 hours or more accounted for 41.3 percent of the total underemployed. Most of the

underemployed were working in the agriculture sector (46.7%) and services sector (39%). The underemployed in the industry sector accounted for 14.3 percent (Table 2.3).

Unemployment rate down to 7.3 percent

The unemployment rate in

January 2010 was estimated at 7.3 percent compared to 7.7 percent recorded in January 2009. Among the regions, the highest unemployment rate was recorded in the NCR at 10.8 percent. The next highest rates were posted in CALABARZON (9.5%) and Central Luzon (9.0%).

The number of unemployed was higher among males (64.6%) than among females (35.4%). By age group, for every 10 unemployed persons, five (51.5%) belonged to age group 15-24 years while three (29.1%) were in the age group 25-34.

Across educational groups,

among the unemployed, the high school graduates comprised more than one-third (46.7%), the college undergraduates comprised about one-fifth (19.3%), while the college graduates, 18.5 percent (Table 2.3).

Labor Relations and Concerns

The labor sector faces a lot of

legitimate concerns that need to be addressed. Displaced workers left and right, retrenchment, strikes and lockouts and even closures of establishments are just some of the bleak features in the labor scenario. However, with the determination of the current dispensation to provide the push and the help, a more encouraging atmosphere might be in stead.


The Department of Labor and

Employment (DOLE) takes the lead in formulating and directing the nation’s labor policies and programs. Its mission includes the promotion of social justice and protection of human rights and respect for human dignity in labor by ensuring workers’ protection and welfare. The department also aims to promote full employment and manpower development as well as to maintain industrial peace through enhancement of workers’ participation in policymaking.

Section III – TRAVEL AND TOURISM

Visitor Arrivals to the Philippines Second Quarter 2010

For the past years, the government’s stance in developing a more sustainable tourism industry has certainly paid off. Not only has the Philippines become one of the most frequently visited tourist spots in Asia, today’s revitalized industry also provides additional jobs for Filipinos without compromising the integrity of local diversity and culture.

The Department of Tourism

(DOT) takes the lead in furthering the position of the country as a favored travel destination. Along with other agencies and organizations, it aims to break down fundamental barriers to tourism growth and works to minimize the impediments

to realizing a better tourism scenario. The year 2010 marks the final

year of the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan 2004-2010. Realizing the potential to boost the country’s economy the government takes a strategic move to develop tourism as a powerful economic growth engine in sustainable manner.

This action plan taken by the administration makes the national tourism (1) market-product focused and (2) destination focused. It also identifies the 10 most attractive tourist segments for the Philippines towards 2010, which are the short-haul sightseeing and shopping; long-haul mass comfort; long-haul backpacker; long-haul niche beach; domestic, short-haul ecotourism; short-haul beach lover; short-haul recreation; meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE); and Balikbayan segments. Destination focus requires the tourist spots in the country to be categorized according to the “Wow” factor, available infrastructure, readiness of existing tourism volume, and access and other factors. Eight priority destinations shall be classified into three groups:

Major destinations: comprising Cebu, Bohol, Camiguin, Palawan, Manila, Tagaytay, and Davao as potential major destinations

Minor destinations: Vigan or Laoag and Clark or Subic; and

Special interest destinations: Baguio or Banaue, and Boracay

Every year, thousands of tourists and holiday makers flock to this historic town commended as one of the cleanest and most peaceful communities in the country, as Lucban celebrates the SAN ISIDRO PAHIYAS FESTIVAL - referred to by many as a fiesta to end all fiestas. Decking the hall or decorating the wall with "Kiping" and agricultural harvest is what "PAYAS" or "PAHIYAS" literally means.

Based on the above definitions, the following are included in the visitor headcount:

♦ Aliens entering the country for a

temporary stay not exceeding one year and for purposes other than immigration, permanent residence or employment for renumeration in the country, and

♦ Filipino nationals or overseas Filipinos residing permanently abroad who are on temporary stay in the Philippines not exceeding one year. These exclude overseas contract workers.

However, the following are

excluded in the visitor headcount:

Welfare Benefits 2009-2010 Introduction

In keeping with the government's various mass-based health and welfare programs, the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) and the Social Security System (SSS) continue to lead and provide security protection for workers in the public and private sectors.

Both the GSIS and the SSS

provide insurance and social security benefits to members and their dependents and extend financial support to a wider range of economic development projects. They have the same primary objective of promoting the welfare and security of employees and their dependents through social security and insurance program benefits. The GSIS covers government employees while the SSS that of the private sector, as well as employers and self-employed persons and their dependents. These two social insurance institutions are the

prime movers of the Government’s Social Insurance Program (SIP). The Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF), more popularly known as the Pag-IBIG Fund, established on June 11, 1978 by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 1530 was an answer to the need for a national savings program and an affordable shelter financing for the Filipino worker. Pag-IBIG is an acronym which stands for Pagtutulungan sa Kinabukasan: Ikaw, Bangko, Industria at Gobyerno. To this day, the Pag-IBIG Fund continues to harness these four sectors of the society to work together towards providing fund members with adequate housing program through an effective savings scheme.

GSIS membership up 3.2 percent

In the year 2007, membership of the GSIS reached 1.36 million government employees, an increase of about 42 thousand (3.2%) as compared to that of 2006’s level.

Natural and Man-made Disasters: 2010 The Philippines, because of its geographical location, is frequented by natural disasters such as typhoons, volcanic eruptions, tidal waves, floods, droughts, and fires. As if these are not enough, there have been occasions of man-made disasters such as fire incidents, vehicular accidents, and epidemic or disease outbreak. These almost complete a scenario of destruction and damage to human lives and properties, immense human suffering, and socio-economic dislocation. To address the problems brought about by these disasters, the National Disaster and Coordinating Council (NDCC), under the Department of National Defense (DND) spearheads assistance and response programs for the victims.

Analysis of Table Disasters in 2009 rise by more than a hundred percent Incidents of disasters, both natural and man-made rose to 460 in 2009 from only 228 in 2008 or by more

than a hundred percent. Figures for deaths, injuries, and missing were all in the upswing (Table 4.7). Disasters claim lives and destroy properties The year 2010 saw a total of 460 disastrous incidents which claimed 377 lives, 650 injuries, and 81 missing persons. Moreover, these wrought havoc to 316,540 families or 1.51 million persons. A total of 5,943 houses were totally damaged and another 11,992 partially damaged. Damage wrought to property was estimated at a cost of PhP 1.80 million (Table 4.7). Man-made incidents comprise more than half of total disasters Of the total disasters reported, that of man-made tolled 266 incidents (57.8%) which resulted to 255 deaths, injury to 587 and 62 missing persons. Affected families numbered 9,876 and a corresponding 47,390 persons. Total cost of damage reached PhP138 million (Table 4.7). FIGURE 3 Incidents of Natural

Education Indicators Academic Years 2007-2009 Introduction There has always been an evident link between poverty and illiteracy. Many people are denied access to basic education, life skills, and livelihood training opportunities because of the high cost of education. Children work to help augment their family’s economic survival. The lack of available schools in communities deny Filipinos access to their full potential. For this reason the state continues to address the situation by enhancing the accommodation of education seekers at all levels. In 2009, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) adopted a policy thrust aimed at broadening access to higher education which includes, to wit: provision of financial assistance to poor but deserving tertiary students by granting scholarships to some 57,566 beneficiaries with a total budget of PhP796 million; promotion of students’ rights and welfare; and provision of alternative modes of learning or acquiring qualifications.

The Department of Education is the agency mandated to watch over the pre-school, primary, and secondary educational system of the country while the CHED takes over the tertiary level of instruction.

Analysis of Tables Enrolment in tertiary education decreases by 1.1 percent Higher education institutions in the Philippines observed a 1.1 percent decline in enrolment from 2.65 million enrolees in Academic Year 2007-2008 to 2.63 million in AY 2008-2009.

Enrollees flock to business administration and related courses Twenty-five out of 100 Filipino college students were enroled in business administration and related courses. In the same manner, almost 20 in every 100 Filipino college students ventured into medical and allied courses. Education and teacher training attracted 12 in every 100 Filipino college students

while engineering and technology with 319,775 enrolees (12.2%). On the other hand, home economics had the least number of enrolees at 0.1 percent. Business administration and related courses which topped the list of tertiary enrolment exhibited an increase (6.1%) from that of AY 2007-2008. On the other hand, enrolment in medical and allied courses went down by 5.5 percent from 547,595 to 517,250. Likewise, a 12.2 percent decrease was noted in the number of enrolees in education and teacher training. Engineering and technology enrolees posted an increase of 2.7 percent from 311,437 to 319,775 (Table 5.1). Number of graduates in higher education increases by 5.6 percent For the academic year (AY) 2008-2009, tertiary institutions in the country noted growth in the number of graduates, from 444,815 in AY 2007-2008 to 469,654 graduates in AY 2008-2009 or an increase of 5.6 percent (Table 5.2). Medical and allied turns out the most number of graduates According to the latest available data from CHED in AY 2008-2009, discipline groups with the most number of graduates in higher education included: medical and allied with 128,050 graduates (27.3%) recording a 5.5 percent increase; business administration and related courses with 107,272 graduates (22.8%) or a 15.0 percent increase; education and teacher training with 56,295 graduates (12.0%) or an 11.6 percent decrease; on fourth and fifth spot respectively, was engineering and technology graduates with 48,448 (10.3%) and information technology related discipline with 45,830 graduates (9.8%).

Compared with AY 2007-2008, the top three mentioned discipline groups reported similar ranking as to number of graduates. Medical and allied with 121,394 graduates (27.3%), business administration and related courses with 93,315 (21.0%), and education and teacher training with 63,682 graduates (14.3%). Engineering and technology placed fourth with 48,464 graduates (10.9%) (Table 5.2). Number of foreign students up by 95.7 percent The number of foreign students who were issued study permits for AY 2007-2008 reached 2,665. This was a 95.7 percent increase than that of AY 2006-2007’s 1,362 students (Table 5.3).

Licensure Examinations 2009 The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) is the government agency that manages licensure and monitors various professional practices in the country. The PRC oversees state-given licensure examinations for all professions except law, which subsumes under the Supreme Court.

The PRC has 42 professional regulatory boards and one specialty board. These boards exercise administrative, quasi-legislative, and quasi-judicial powers over their respective professions. Their functions involve the preparation of licensure examinations, determination of course requirements, inspection of schools, and the enforcement of a Code of Ethics for the practice of their respective professions. Degree holders are required to take state-given examinations to receive appropriate licensure. Come the time that these registered professionals must renew their licenses, government requires from them proof of actual practice and of continuing education. Graduates in different fields of study who passed the state-given examinations and who are, therefore, holders of valid licenses or certifications to practice, acquire the status of registered professionals.

Analysis of Tables

Passers in licensure examinations down by 1.9 percent National performance in licensure examinations presented by PRC shows that out of 407,950 examinees in 2009, 148,093 passed or 36.3 percent. The

number of successful examinees in 2009 was 1.9 percent lower than the 150,971 passers out of 390,378 examinees (38.7%) recorded in 2008 (Table 5.4). Nursing has the most number of board-takers Professions with the largest number of board-takers in 2009 were nursing (172,344 or 42.2% of the total), teaching in elementary (69,976 or 17.2%), and teaching in secondary (62,239 or 15.3%). Mining engineering, on the other hand, had the least board-takers with 18 (0.04%) (Table 5.4). Optometry tops licensure passers with 73.6 percent passing rate Of the 72 board examinees, Optometry six-year-curriculum topped all other professions with 53 passers or 73.6 percent passing rate. Guidance and counselors came in second with 108 board examinees, out of which 78 passed or 72.2 percent passing rate. Meanwhile, of the 4,009 board examinees, physicians were on third spot with 2,763 passers or 68.9 percent passing rate (Table 5.4). Nine Environmentalists Honored with Fr. Neri Satur Award For their invaluable contribution for the protection of the environment, four individuals and five groups were honored with the Fr. Neri Satur Award for Environmental Heroism on April 22, 2010, as part of the World Earth Day celebration. Given to outstanding individuals and groups or entities for their committed service for the conservation and protection of the environment, the award is named after the Bukidnon priest who was shot to death in 1991 for his

Health and Vital Indicators 2010

Introduction The Department of Health (DOH) is the principal health agency in the Philippines. It is responsible for ensuring access to basic public health services to all Filipinos through the provision of quality health care and regulation of providers of health goods and services. Given the mandate, the DOH is both a stakeholder in the health sector and a policy and regulatory body for health. As a major player, it is a technical resource, a catalyst for health policy and a political sponsor and advocate for health issues.

Furthermore, the DOH has an on-

going program that recruits physicians and other health practitioners to join government service and be fielded in rural, hard-to-reach, and economically underdeveloped areas.

On the other hand, the production

of vital statistics comprises a system of operations in which the registration of vital events is an important component. The system begins with the registration followed by the processing and controlling of vital records and ends with the compilation and analysis of vital statistics.

Under Commonwealth Act (CA)

591, the Bureau of Census, now the National Statistics Office (NSO) is mandated to generate general purpose statistics and to carry out and administer the Civil Registration Act.

Health may refer to the soundness and general well-being of body and mind. Securing good health for people is one way of ensuring welfare and development for the country as a whole. It is, therefore, imperative upon the government to make provisions and invest in health welfare activities. Vital statistics, on the other hand, are derived from information obtained at the time when the occurrences of vital events and their characteristics are inscribed in a civil register. Vital acts and events are the births, deaths, fetal deaths, marriages, 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 occur to a person during his lifetime. Recording of these events in the civil register is known as vital or civil registration and the resulting documents are called vital records.

Fetal Deaths: 2007 Introduction Fetal death refers to death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction of a product of conception from its mother, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy; the death is indicated by the fact that after such separation, the fetus does not breathe or show any other evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, and definite movement of voluntary muscles. Number of fetal deaths decreases The Philippines registered a total of 8,191 fetal deaths in 2007. The figure is 267 less (3.2%) from a total of 8,458 fetal deaths reported in 2006. Of the total registered fetal deaths, about 1,796 (21.9%) occurred in the National Capital Region (NCR). Second in rank with a difference of only 3.0 percentage points from NCR was CALABARZON with 1,545 fetal deaths (18.9%). In third place was Central

Visayas with 1,052 reported fetal deaths (12.8%). On the other end, the least number of fetal deaths was recorded in Caraga and Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) with only 80 (1.0%) and 7 (0.1%) cases, respectively (Table 6.1). Almost three out of four fetal deaths are medically attended A total of 6,036 or 73.7% of the registered fetal deaths were attended by medical practitioners. Of these, 5,422 or 66.2 percent were under the care of physicians. Records show also that, only one of every four fetal deaths (2,095 or 25.6%) were attended by traditional birth attendants or hilots. Nine out of ten fetal deaths in NCR (91.6%) and CAR (90.3%) were attended by health professionals most of whom were medical doctors. It is interesting to note that in MIMAROPA, the number of fetal deaths attended by hilots and medical practitioners were equal at 103 cases each (Table 6.1).

22 fetal deaths occur daily On the average, 22 fetal deaths occurred per day. The months of January and July registered a daily average of 755 and 754 fetal deaths, respectively. It was during the third quarter of the year when the highest number of fetal deaths was recorded (2,133 or 26.0 percent of the total). The last quarter of the year was not far behind with 2,083 or 25.4 percent. The month of November registered the highest daily average fetal deaths with 25 cases, followed by January, May, July and October with 24 fetal deaths recorded daily. Meanwhile, six out of the twelve months of the year recorded daily indices higher than the national value of 100.0. These were January (108.5), May (104.8), July (108.4) September (104.0), October (105.9) and November (109.8) (Table 6.2). Mothers at age group 20-34 years old are most vulnerable to fetal deaths The median age of mothers with fetal death occurrences was 29.0 years. Mothers at ages 20-34 years

accounted for 5,491 or 67.0 percent of fetal deaths. The figure signified that two out of three mothers who had fetal deaths in 2007 were from same age group. Out of 8,191 fetal deaths in the country, 2,878 or 35.1 percent were first born, 994 of which belong to expectant mothers aged 20-24 years. On the other hand, mothers aged 45 and over recorded 62 fetal deaths. Almost half (28 cases) of these deaths were on their eighth child and over (Table 6.3). Almost three out of four fetal deaths are due to the ten leading causes of death

Almost three-fourths (6,003 or 73.3%) of fetal deaths in 2007 were brought about by the ten leading causes of death. The remaining 26.7 percent were caused by other illnesses. Consistently on top of the list was disorders related to short gestation and low birth weight not elsewhere classified which accounted for more than half (4,289 or 52.4%) of fetal deaths in 2007. Way behind on second and third places, were intrauterine hypoxia (728 or 8.9%) and other congenital malformations, not

Infant Deaths: 2007 Introduction Presented are data on infant deaths occurring in 2007 and registered from January 2007 to March 2008. Infant deaths refer to death of infants under one year of age. Death statistics are based on information obtained from the death certificates (Municipal Form No. 103) transmitted by the City/Municipal Civil Registrars to the Office of the Civil Registrar General for processing and archiving. No adjustments for underregistration are made in the analysis. Infant deaths down by 0.2 percent in 2007 In 2007, there were 21,720 reported infant deaths that occurred in the country. It comprised of 4.9 percent

of the total deaths (441,956) reported during the year. Infant deaths declined by 0.2 percent from the 2006 count of 21,764 (Table 6.5). More than one-fifth of infant deaths are from NCR Among the regions, the National Capital Region (NCR) recorded the most number of infant deaths at 4,889 cases or 22.5 percent of the total. CALABARZON with 3,575 or 16.5 percent ranked second. The rest of the regions contributed less than ten percent each to the total number of recorded infant deaths. Meanwhile, six out of ten infant deaths were males (12,809 or 59.0%) (Table 6.5). Infant deaths highest in September An average of 60 infant deaths reported occurred daily in 2007. January

and the last six months of the year showed higher daily averages and daily indices than the national value. September was the month with the highest number of reported infant deaths (2,017). It was followed by the month of January (1,959).Tied on third rank were July and October (1,929). On the other hand, the lowest number of infant mortality was recorded during the month of April (1,556). However, in terms of daily average, May got the lowest (50) (Table 6.6). Almost half of infant deaths occur during the early neonatal ages There were a total of 10,273 (47.3%) infant deaths during the early neonatal stage (ages 7 days and below). Infant deaths during the late neonatal stage (after 7 days but before 28 days of life) reported 2,376 (10.9%). It was followed closely by deaths among infants during the post neonatal stage (aged 28 days to 1 month) with 2,169 (Table 6.7).

About eight out of ten infant deaths are due to the ten leading causes of deaths Bacterial sepsis of newborn was on top of the ten leading causes of infant deaths as it recorded 3,506 deaths or 16.1 percent of the total. Three fifths (2,131 or 60.8%) of those who died of the disease were males. On second and third rank were respiratory distress of newborn (2,434 or 11.2%) and pneumonia (2,075 or 9.6%) respectively. The other causes of deaths that landed on the top ten were: disorders related to short gestation and low birth weight, NEC (1,816 or 8.4%), congenital malformations of the heart (1,435 or

Crime Indicators Second Quarter 2010

Introduction

The government agency mandated to enforce the law, to prevent and control crimes, to maintain peace and order, and to ensure public safety and internal security with the active support of the community is the Philippine National Police (PNP).

The PNP's collective effort to address areas of priority, namely , the campaigns against illegal drugs, illegal gambling, terrorism, street crimes, kidnapping, bank robberies, hi-jacking, carnapping, and those against wanted persons and criminal gangs, as well as the accounting of firearms, and insurgency or communist terrorists find substance in the data presented in the following discussion.

The Revised Penal Code of 1990

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.

In measuring crime volume, a

distinct classification is used. Crimes are classified into index and non-index categories. Index crimes are those of serious nature which occur with marked frequency and regularity. Crimes against persons and crimes against property being normally reported to police authorities exemplify index crimes. Non-index crimes, on the other hand, are those with no marked regularity, hence, seldom find report in police files.
