FOREWORD
The 2012 First Semester Official Provincial Poverty Statistics presents the official provincial poverty
statistics for the first semester of 2012 released to the public by the National Statistical Coordination Board
(NSCB) on 23 April 2013, in accordance with Executive Order No. 352, Designation of Statistical Activities
that Will Generate Critical Data for Decision-making of the Government and Private Sector and NSCB
Resolution No. 4, Series of 2013, Approving the Official Methodology for the Estimation of First Semester
Provincial Poverty Statistics. The methodology for the estimation of first semester provincial poverty
statistics were based on the recommendations of the NSCB Technical Committee on Poverty Statistics
(TC-PovStat).
This Report is a milestone for the Philippine Statistical System (PSS) as it marks the release for the first
time the very first set of first semester official provincial poverty statistics cognizant of the urgent need and
demand for more timely statistics. This is in light with the recommendation of NEDA Director General
Arsenio M. Balisacan to come up with more timely official poverty statistics through the generation of first
semester poverty statistics using the 2012 First Semester Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES).
This is also in line with the earlier efforts/discussions of the TC on Poverty Statistics and the NSCB
Technical Staff on this matter.
This publication contains statistical tables on important poverty information such as the food and poverty
thresholds, and the subsistence and poverty incidence. It also includes other useful poverty indicators
such as the income gap, poverty gap, and severity of poverty. Back estimates for the first semesters of
2006 and 2009 are also provided.
The NSCB acknowledges the TC-PovStat for its valuable inputs and unwavering support to the continuous
improvement of the poverty estimation methodology. Acknowledgement is likewise given to the following
data source agencies:
National Statistics Office
Bureau of Agricultural Statistics
Food and Nutrition Research Institute
It is hoped that policy- and program makers and implementers, researchers, and the general public will find
this Report useful.

Highlights of the 2012 First Semester Official Poverty Statistics

A. National
1. Main Indicators
During the 1st semester of 2012, a family of five will need around PhP 5,460 monthly
income to buy their minimum basic food needs; and around PhP 7,820 monthly for
their minimum basic food and nonfood needs.
This represents an increase of about 11 percent for both the food and poverty
thresholds from the 1st semester of 2009 and 1st half of 2012. Such increases
represent inflation adjustments.
In the same period in 2012, the proportion of Filipino families in extreme poverty
whose incomes are not sufficient to meet subsistence or basic food needs stands at 10
percent. This figure is unchanged from the corresponding 1 st semesters of 2006 and
2009.
In terms of the poverty incidence, 22 out of 100 families were estimated to be poor in
the 1st semester of 2012. This figure is also practically unchanged from the 1 st half of
2006 and 1st semester 2009.
As regards subsistence incidence among population, about 13 in 100 Filipinos lived in
extreme poverty in the first half of 2012. This estimate has remained unchanged from
similar periods of 2006 and 2009.
In terms of poverty incidence among the population, 28 out of 100 Pinoys were living in
poverty in the first semester of 2012. This estimated figure of 27.9 percent is
practically unchanged from the 1 st semester figures in 2006 and 2009.

2. Other Poverty Measures

In addition to the abovementioned indicators, other poverty measures generated by
NSCB, which could also be used for designing poverty intervention programs include
the income gap, poverty gap and squared poverty gap.
Figure for the income gap in the 1st half of 2012 shows that the monthly income
shortfall of a poor family was estimated to be 29.2% of the poverty threshold. This
translates to PhP 2,292 on the average for a family of five. This can serve as a useful
reference especially in determining the necessary budget to eradicate poverty in the
country. Given this information, the NSCB estimates that the total cost of poverty
eradication, exclusive of targeting costs, is PhP 79.7 billion for the 1 st semester of
2012. It may be noted that budget allocated for CCT for the entire year of 2012 is 39.4
billion.

At the regional level, the regions with the lowest poverty incidence among families in
the 1st semesters of 2006, 2009, and 2012, continue to be NCR, CALABARZON, and
Central Luzon. On the other hand, for the same period in 2012, ARMM consistently
figured in the bottom (poorest) cluster of regions with the highest poverty incidence
among families between 42 to 47 percent in the first semesters of 2006, 2009, and
2012. Note that in the first half of 2006 and 2009, Region IX and Caraga were
included in the poorest cluster. While it is worth noting that they did not figure in the
bottom cluster during the 1 st semester of 2012, SOCCSKSARGEN and Eastern
Visayas were new entrants in the said cluster at around 37 percent.
While it might seem that there are no changes in poverty conditions, data shows that
Caraga improved its poverty incidence significantly from 43 percent in the first
semesters of 2006 and 2009, to 34 percent in the 1st half of 2012. The same can be
said for Ilocos Norte which also registered significant improvement in its poverty
incidence from the 1st semester of 2006 to the 1st half of 2009.
C. Provincial
As far as provincial data is concerned, the group of provinces with the least poverty
incidence among families remain practically the same namely, the 4 districts of NCR,
Bataan, Benguet, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Pampanga, and Rizal with the addition of
Ilocos Norte in the group in the 1 st half of 2012.

Examination of the income distribution shows that average incomes in the country rose by
12.8 percent between the 1 st semester of 2009 and 1st half of 2012. Across the bottom 30
percent of income distribution, 1st semester incomes between 2009 and 2012 rose by an
average of 11.7 percent, which is practically the same as inflation.
For the extremely poor, their incomes during the 1st semesters of 2009 and 2012 rose by
11.1%. On the other hand, 1st semester prices of food commodities rose by 12.5 percent.

Income Decile
Further, in describing income distribution in the 1st semester of 2012 as well as

corresponding periods in 2006 and 2009, it may be observed that the bottom 20 percent of
families have a share of about 6 percent of the total income in the country; whereas the
upper 20% of income distribution have a share of nearly 50% of total income.
The total income of the top 20% of families is approximately 8 times of the total income of
the bottom 20% of families in the first semesters of 2006, 2009, and 2012.
III. Summary
In general, the poverty conditions in the 1st semester of 2012 appear to be unchanged
from the 1st half of 2006 and 2009. During this period, the rate of increase in the average
incomes of the bottom 10% and the bottom 30% is practically the same as the rise of food
prices and overall prices, respectively.
During the same period, the rate of increase in the prices of food and average per capita
income of the bottom 10% (as well as bottom 30% of families) is almost the same.
Further, for the same period, the total income of the top 20% of families is approximately 8
times of the total income of the bottom 20% of families.
