5.1 Education
Highly influenced by countries that colonized the country, especially that of the United
States of America, education in the Philippines is offered through formal and non-formal
systems. Prior to K-to12 implementation in 2015, formal education typically spans 14
years and is structured in a 6+4+4 system: 6 years of primary school education, 4 years
of secondary school education, and 4 years of higher education, leading to a bachelor’s
degree. This is one of the shortest terms of formal education in the world. Nowadays,
with the K to 12 Program, additional two (2) years of school time after the secondary
years or prior to collegiate years; that is the Junior and Senior High School, make the
formal education school terms at par internationally.
In the Philippines, the academic school year begins in June and concludes in March, a
period that covers a total of 40 weeks; though nowadays, some have adopted the late
August-early September opening of classes and ending in May.
All Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) operate on a semester or trimester system—and

an optional summer term.
Although English was the sole language of instruction in the Philippines from 1935 to
1987, the new constitution prescribed that both Filipino (Tagalog) or the local dialect and
English are the official languages of instruction and communication. After primary
school, however, the language of instruction is almost always English, especially in the
country’s urban areas and at most of the nation’s universities.
The education system is administered and overseen by the Department of Education

(DepEd); and with reference to public primary and secondary education, the agency is
assisted by the Local Government Units (LGUs) through their Local School Boards (LSB)
as prescribed under Sec. 98 and Sec. 99 of the Local Government Code of 1991.
In the Province of Batangas, one of the strategic directions of the Executive Department
is to ensure that the allocation and utilization of the government resources in the delivery
of public services in socio-economic and human development is maximized and
optimized---committing itself in strengthening the educational foundation of youths which
will help pave the way for increased professional growth, betterment and upgrading of
lives of Batangueňos.
With annual appropriation from the Special Education Fund (SEF), the Provincial School
Board (PSB) provides support to pupils / students / schools in public elementary and
secondary levels. Some of the programs / projects include: the School Building
Program; support and participation to Brigada Eskuwela; School Facilities Improvement
Program; Internet Accessibilities Program; Support to K to 12 Implementation;
Scholarship Program (Batangas Province Science High School and Batangas Province
High School for Culture and Arts); and the Teachers Augmentation Program.
With continuous improvement and construction of school buildings and classrooms in the
province, as well as the continuing augmentation and professional development of
teachers, primary and secondary education under the new K to 12 Program is very
accessible.

Social Sector
In addition, the Tulong Eskuwela Program from the Executive Office (Office of the
Provincial Governor), which, on the other hand, is funded through the General Fund,
likewise provides support Special Education (SpEd) students / schools and other
services to public schools / pupils in its 34 LGUs.
The Batangas Provincial Scholarship Program is open to poor but deserving and
qualified college and senior high school students. Likewise, for those average college
students whose grades do not qualify for scholarship grants, the Provincial Government
helps augment college matriculation by extending their support through its Educational
Assistance Program.
As of School Year 2015-2016, as shown on Table 80 below, there is a total of 1,486

educational institutions in the province which are classified as follows : kindergarten- 33;
elementary-715; secondary – 200; kinder and elementary-279; integrated kinder and

5.1.1 Pre-elementary Level
Pre-school education or Pre-elementary level is the learning program given to children

ages three to five or six years in preparation for their formal primary education. It is also
known as nursery, day care, or kindergarten schooling.
Pre-school, or Early Childhood Education (ECEd) operates on a certain framework that

includes structural (administration, class size, teacher-child ratio, etc.), process
(classroom environment, teacher-child interactions, etc.), and alignment (standards,
curriculum) components that are connected to each child involved in the preschool
educational system.
Preschool education is considered suitable for children between three and five (or six)
years, because it is during this stage that the children learn and take in information at a
very fast rate, and they also express great fascination and curiosity with almost
everything around them. 126
Social Sector
The main themes or areas present in the majority of early childhood education systems
essential to the holistic development of preschoolers are as follows:
 Personal, social, and emotional development

 Communication (includes talking and listening)
 Knowledge and understanding of the world
 Creative and aesthetic development
 Physical development
 Analytical (mathematical) development
Although preschool education is optional before entering the elementary level, recent
events and activities show a high need for young children to undergo preschool
education first before stepping into formal education. Following are legal basis related to
preschool education:
 Republic Act 8980 (Early Childhood Care and Development Act) - Enacted in
2000, this law identifies the growing importance of providing preschool education
and addressing young children's other needs. It also recognizes parents as the
children’s primary caregivers and teachers.
 Republic Act 6972 (Barangay Level Total Protection of Children Act) – Enacted
in 1990, this law requires all local government units to set up a day care center in
every barangay. Day care centers are mandated not only to provides for the
children’s learning needs but also to attend to their health and psychosocial
needs.
 Senate Bill 3235 (An Act To Institutionalize Pre-school Education) –The bill calls
for the formulation of a standard preschool curriculum which will help ensure that
those entering Grade 1 are well-equipped for formal schooling.
For SY 2017-2018, there is a total of 55,025 pre-school enrolees (combined public and
private schools in the province of Batangas; 87.92% of which are from the public
schools; and 12.08% from private elementary schools. Data on Table 81 also shows that
preschool male enrolees prevail over the female enrolees for both public and private
schools – for public schools – 52.15%; private schools – 52.17%; combined – 52.15%

5.1.2 Elementary Level
The elementary school education system in the Philippines spans 6 years in duration
and is compulsory for all students. This level of education is divided into a four-year
primary cycle and a two-year intermediate cycle. In the country’s public schools, Filipino
children generally begin school at age 6 or 7.
Language of instruction for Grades 1 and 2 are mostly in the local dialect numbering to
about 170. Dialects use depends on the school’s regional location.
Once a student successfully completes each of the six grades of primary school, he or
she is awarded a certificate of graduation from the school they attended.
There are a number of core subjects that are taught, with varying degrees of difficulty, in
all six grades of primary school. These are:
 Language Arts (Filipino, English and Local Dialect)

 Mathematics
 Health
 Science
Table 82 shows that there is a total of 328,115 elementary school enrolees for SY 2017-
2018; of which 88.09% come from the public school sector and 11.91% are from the
private schools. For both private and public, male enrolees comprising to 52.13% of the

5.1.3 Secondary Level
Although secondary education is not compulsory in the Philippines, it is widely attended,

particularly in the more urban areas of the country.
Admission to public schools is typically automatic for those students who have
successfully completed six years of primary education. However, many of the private
secondary schools in the country have competitive entrance requirements, usually based
on an entrance examination score. Entrance to the Science High Schools is also the
result of competitive examinations.
Schooling at the secondary level spans four years in duration, grades 7-10, beginning at
age 12 or 13 and culminating at age 16 or 17. The curriculum that students are exposed
to depends on the type of school they attend. In the K to 12 program, which was
implemented in 2015, Grades 7 to 10 is classified as Junior High School; while Grades
11 to 12 is the Senior High School.
The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of Basic Education: six (6) years
of primary education, four (4) years of Junior High School (JHS), and two (2) years of
Senior High School (SHS)] to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills,
develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills
development, employment, and entrepreneurship.
The presence of a number of public and private secondary schools in the province
manifests the Batangueňos’ love of learning and education. Public high schools are
present in all the 34 local government units of the province. Likewise, funded by the
Provincial Government are the Provincial Science High School and the Provincial High
School for Culture and the Arts.
Of the 31 municipalities and 3 cities, only the municipalities of Tingloy and Sta. Teresita
have no private secondary schools. As shown on Table 83, there are a total of 341
secondary schools, 158 of which are public and 183, private, with the three cities having
the most number of secondary schools.

Cohort Survival Rate (CSR) is the percentage of enrollees at the beginning grade or
year in a given school year who reached the final grade or year of the
elementary/secondary level.
Gender Parity Ratio (GPR) refers to the ratio of female to male values of a given
indicator. Gender Parity Indicator (GPI) equal to 1 indicates parity between females and
males. In general, a value less than 1 indicates a disparity in favor of boys and a value
greater than 1 indicates a disparity in favor of girls. However, the interpretation should be
in the other way round for indicators that should ideally approach 0% (e.g. repetition,
dropout, illiteracy rates, etc). In these cases, a GPI of less than 1 indicates a disparity in
favor of girls and a value greater than 1 indicates a disparity in favor of boys.

5.1.4 Tertiary Level
Higher education institutions in the Philippines are either colleges or universities, and are
generally classified as public or private.
State Universities and Colleges, or SUCs, are public higher education institutions
established by law, administered and financially subsidized by the government.
On the other hand, Local Universities and Colleges, or LUCs, are established by the
Local Government Units (LGUs) through resolutions or ordinances. Financially, LUCs
are supported by the local government concerned.
Special Higher Educational Institution (HEIs) are public organizations offering higher
education programs related to public service. Operated and controlled in accordance
with the special law that created these institutions, special HEIs are provide special
academic, research and technical assistance programs pursuant to the basic mandates
of their parent agencies.
Private HEIs are established under the Corporation Code and are governed by the
special laws and general provisions of this Code. Non-sectarian private HEIs are duly
incorporated, owned and operated by private entities that are not affiliated to any
religious organization; while sectarian private HEIs are usually non-stock, non-profit, duly
incorporated, owned and operated by a religious organization.
With the passage of the Higher Education Act of 1994, an independent government
agency known as the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) now provides the
general supervision and control over all colleges and universities in the country, both
public and private. CHED regulates the founding and/or closures of private higher
education institutions, their program offerings, curricular development, building
specifications and tuition fees. Private universities and colleges adhere to the regulations
and orders of CHED, although a select few are granted autonomy or deregulated status
in recognition of their dedicated service through quality education and research when
they reach a certain level of accreditation.
133
Social Sector
The following are the four levels of accreditation:
 Level I. Gives applicant status to schools that have undergone a preliminary

survey and are capable of acquiring accredited status within two years.
 Level II. Gives full administrative deregulation and partial curricular autonomy,
including priority in funding assistance and subsidies for faculty development.
 Level III. Schools are granted full curricular deregulation, including the privilege
to offer distance education programs.
 Level IV. Universities are eligible for grants and subsidies from the Higher
Education Development Fund and are granted full autonomy from government
supervision and control.
Records from CHED showed that Batangas province has 41 private institutions and 14
state-run colleges and universities, a total of 55 HEIs as of June 2015.

5.2 Health
In 1991, health service delivery was devolved to the Local Government Units (LGUs);
which Batangas Province effectively implements. The strong involvements of the private
sector in health care provision make its delivery even more efficient. Health facilities in
the province include government hospitals, private hospitals and primary health care
facilities. Hospitals are classified based on ownership as public or private hospitals.
In the Province of Batangas, the Health Sector is appropriated yearly with a big
percentage out its Annual Budget. The two major health programs are the Public Health
Program (Services) and the Health Services and Facilities Enhancement Program. The
former deals with the health care provision of the twelve district hospitals (enumerated in
Table 93), while the latter, with government health projects (enumerated in Table 92) that
are rigorously being implemented.
5.2.1 Hospitals and Other Health Facilities
Health care is accessible and readily available in the province with sixteen (16)
government hospitals, sixty (60) private hospitals, forty nine (49) Rural Health Units, 775
Barangay Health Stations, one (1) Health and Wellness Center, three (3) Social Hygiene
Clinic and sixteen (16) Animal Bite and Treatment Centers strategically located within the
whole province. Now, every Batangueños access to health services is handy and right
on their way.
The 16 government hospitals have a combined bed capacity of 830, these are Batangas
Medical Center categorized as Tertiary or Level 3 located in Batangas City; Bauan
General Hospital in the Municipality of Bauan; Fernando Air Base Hospital, a military
hospital and Ospital ng Lipa located in Lipa City; and the twelve (12) Provincial
Government Hospitals.
Among the twelve (12) Provincial Government Hospitals, ten (10) were classified as
general with Level 1 service capability: (1) Don Manuel Lopez Memorial District Hospital
(Balayan), (2) Don Juan Mayuga Memorial District Hospital/Batangas Provincial Hospital
(Lemery), (3) A. R. Apacible Memorial District Hospital (Nasugbu), (4) MVM Sto. Rosario
District Hospital (Rosario), (5) Laurel Memorial District Hospital (Tanauan City), (6) Lipa
District Hospital (Lipa City), (7) San Jose District Hospital (San Jose), (8) San Juan
District Hospital (San Juan), (9) Martin Marasigan Memorial Hospital (Cuenca) and (10)
Lobo District Hospital (Lobo). Calatagan Medicare Hospital and Laurel Municipal
Hospital were classified as general with primary care facility service capability.
Health, preventive and curative medical services of these 16 government hospitals are
augmented and complemented by the existence of the sixty (60) private hospitals
located in different cities and municipalities in the province. All are classified as general
with varying service capability as follows : three (3) are categorized as Level 3, sixteen
(16) Level 2, twenty eight (28) Level 1, one (1) primary, eight (8) infirmary and four (4)
birthing home. Their combined bed capacity totalled to 2,437.
The presence of other health care facilities such as RHUs and BHS facilitates health and
medical services accessibility to Batangueňos since these facilities are located in almost
all barangays of the Province.

5.2.2 Health Statistics as to General Health Situation
Health statistics are numbers about some aspect of health. Health statistics and data are
important because they measure a wide range of health indicators for a community.
Health data provide comparisons for clinical studies, can be used to assess costs of
health care, can help identify needed prevention targets and are important for program
planning and evaluation by finding a baseline against which to measure in the evaluation
phase.
The following statistics presented in the foregoing tables show the general health
situation in the Province of Batangas. These include number of live births, deaths, the
ten leading causes of morbidity for years 2016 and 2017; Ten Leading Causes of
Mortality for 2016 and 2017; and relative data for maternal, infant and child health.
Likewise, statistics for Philhealth coverage in the Province for years 2016 and 2017 per
LGU is included.
Recorded live birth figures for 2016 and 2017 total to 40,141 and 32,547 respectively;
where male dominates in number for both years. A decrease of 18.92% or 7,594 less

births for the total births in 2017 than in 2016 was recorded. It must be noted that the
data for Batangas Province consists of the consolidated data for the 31 municipalities;
wherein the number of live births has decreased by 41.71% or 12,004 births. The three
cities, on the other hand have increase in live birth figures with 38.82% or 4,410. These
are provided in Table 95.

Morbidity is defined as the incidence or prevalence of a disease or of all diseases in a

population or a departure from a state of physical or psychological well-being, resulting
from disease, illness, injury, or sickness, especially where the affected individual is
aware of his or her condition, Table 97 shows the ten leading causes of morbidity. In
2017 Acute Upper Respiratory Infection remains as the number one cause, followed by
Acute Lower Respiratory Infection. Hypertensive diseases, disease of the urinary
system, injuries of unspecified body region and other viral diseases constantly place
interchangeably in the leading ten causes of morbidity.
Other causes of morbidity that are common for the past five years and for 2017 are
influenza and pneumonia, other respiratory disorder (respiratory failure) and chronic
lower respiratory infection and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Diseases
involving the circulatory and respiratory system was identified as the 7 th leading cause of
morbidity for the last five years but was not included in 2017; however, infections of the
skin and subcutaneous tissue ranked 10 th cause of morbidity for the same year.

Social Sector
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), morbidity could be measured in

terms of: (1) number of persons who were ill; (2) illnesses these persons experienced;
and (3) the duration of these illnesses.

Mortality is a health statistic that corresponds to the total number of deaths per unit time
in a population divided by the population's number or it is defined as a relative incidence
of death within a particular group categorized according to age or by some other factor.
Common to 2016 and 2017 causes of mortality in the province are heart related
diseases, pneumonia, hypertension, respiratory diseases and diabetes mellitus.
Acute myocardial infarction is the medical name for a heart attack. A heart attack is a
life-threatening condition that occurs when blood flow to the heart is abruptly cut off,
causing tissue damage. This is usually the result of a blockage in one or more of the
coronary arteries. A blockage can develop due to a buildup of plaque, a substance
mostly made of fat, cholesterol, and cellular waste products. This illness has caused the
most number of fatalities for Batangueňos for 2016 and 2017 with 1,207 and 1,187;
respectively. Refer to Table 98.
143
Social Sector
Cardiac arrest is a sudden loss of blood flow resulting from the failure of the heart to
effectively pump. Symptoms include loss of consciousness and abnormal or absent
breathing. This disease ranked second in 2016, but third in 2017. Incidence of deaths
caused by the illness was reduced by 445 or by at least 45.54%. It was replaced by
pneumonia in the second place which ranked third in 2016. This is despite of the
reduction in the number of people from 965 in 2016 to 951 in 2017 who died of the
disease.
Pneumonia can be caused by a virus, but it can also result from bacteria or fungus. It
is a chest infection that is caused by the inhalation of a virus, bacteria, or fungus.
Unlike the flu shot, pneumonia vaccinations do not cover all strains. Moreover some
forms of pneumonia can be contagious, increasing ones’ severity.
Respiratory disease is a broad term that can be used while referring to a series of
conditions that affect the respiratory system in the human body. Therefore, any condition
that affects the lungs, bronchial tubes, upper respiratory tract, trachea, pleural cavity or
even the nerves and muscles that are used for breathing can be termed as a respiratory
disease.
There are several different types of respiratory diseases but the severity of each type
may vary. Some of the common types of respiratory diseases include inflammatory lung
diseases, obstructive lung diseases, restrictive lung diseases, respiratory tract infections,
pleural cavity diseases and pulmonary vascular diseases.
Each of these respiratory problems can be further divided into sub-conditions, which
could affect one or more part of the respiratory system. Some of the respiratory diseases
are fairly mild and self-limiting, like the common cold. However, several forms of
respiratory diseases like pulmonary embolism or bacterial pneumonia could also be life-
threatening, if not checked and controlled in time.
Studies indicate that certain respiratory diseases are leading causes of illnesses and
deaths. Given below is a list of the different respiratory diseases that are prevalent:
 Acute respiratory distress syndrome

 Asthma
 Cancer (small cell lung cancer, lymphoma, melanoma and mesothelioma)
 Common colds
 Cystic fibrosis
 Emphysema
 Infections like laryngitis, otitis media, sinusitis, pharyngitis and tonsillitis
 Pneumonia
 Tuberculosis

Heart disease is an umbrella term, meaning it describes many conditions that affect a
person’s heart health. Heart disease describes conditions that affect a person’s heart
muscle, heart valves, coronary arteries, or heart rhythm. Each of these components can
lead to complications and ill-defined descriptions of heart disease, which ranked fifth in
2016 and fourth in 2017.
Hypertensive heart disease refers to heart conditions caused by high blood pressure.
The heart working under increased pressure causes some different heart disorders.
Hypertensive heart disease includes heart failure, thickening of the heart muscle,
coronary artery disease, and other conditions.
Diabetes mellitus, common cause of death for 2016 ( 9 th place) and 2017 (10th place) is
a disease that prevents the body from properly using the energy from the food intakes.
Diabetes occurs in one of the following situations:
The pancreas (an organ behind your stomach) produces little insulin or no insulin at all.
Insulin is a naturally occurring hormone, produced by the beta cells of the pancreas,
which helps the body use sugar for energy.
There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2:
Type 1 diabetes occurs because the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas (beta cells)
are damaged. In Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas makes little or no insulin, so sugar
cannot get into the body's cells for use as energy. People with Type 1 diabetes must use
insulin injections to control their blood glucose. Type 1 is the most common form of
diabetes in people who are under age 30, but it can occur at any age. Ten percent of
people with diabetes are diagnosed with Type 1.
In Type 2 diabetes, the pancreas makes insulin, but it either doesn't produce enough, or
the insulin does not work properly. Nine out of 10 people with diabetes have Type 2. This
type occurs most often in people who are over 40 years old and overweight. Type 2
diabetes may sometimes be controlled with a combination of diet, weight management,
and exercise. However, treatment also may include oral glucose-lowering medications
(taken by mouth) or insulin injections (shots).
Other chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by daily cough

and mucus (sputum) production. Emphysema is a condition in which the alveoli at the
end of the smallest air passages (bronchioles) of the lungs are destroyed as a result of
damaging exposure to cigarette smoke and other irritating gases and particulate matter.
Although COPD is treatable, it claimed 349 lives in 2016 and 284 in 2017. Though the
number of deaths decreased by 65, it remained in the seventh slot in the top ten causes
of mortality in the province.
145
Social Sector
Ranking tenth cause of mortality for 2016 but way higher to fifth place in 2017 is the
other disorders fluid, electrolyte and acid based balance. This occurs when the kidneys
are not anymore capable in maintaining the balance of acids, bases, fluids and
electrolytes in the body, thus significant fluctuations lead to life-threatening conditions.
Acid, base, fluid and electrolyte disorders occur in renal failure as a consequence of
declining glomerular filtration rate.

As health status of the province is one major concern of the government, one form of
social protection for Batangueňos is the implementation of Philhealth membership or
health insurance coverage in all LGUs of the province. This is reflected in Table 99 of
Philhealth Coverage for 2015 and 2016. (Batangas City - data not available for year
2016).

5.2.3 Child Health
The Provincial Government thru its Provincial Health Office (PHO) implements various
programs and activities for child health. This includes Expanded Program on
Immunization, Integrated Child Growth Standard (CGS) Infant and Young Feeding
(IYCF) Projects, New Born Screening and Integrated Management of Childhood Illness.
The Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) of the Department of Health is a priority

public health program aimed at reducing the morbidity and mortality among children
against the seven vaccine-preventable diseases: polio, measles, neonatal tetanus,
diphtheria, pertussis, hepatitis B and extra pulmonary tuberculosis.
A Fully Immunized Child (FIC) must have completed Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG)
Vaccine, Hepatitis (HEPA) B1, Pentavallent (PENTA) 1, PENTA 2, PENTA 3, Oral
Poliovirus Vaccine (OPV) 1, OPV 2, OPV 3, Meningococcal vaccine (MCV) 1 (AMV),
MCV 2 Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccines(MMR), Rota Virus Vaccine (ROTA) 1, ROTA
2, Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) 1, PCV 2 AND PCV 3 vaccines before the
child is 12 months of age.
The number of fully immunized children in the province for years 2016 and 2017 are
reflected in Table 100 where at least 68.27% in 2016 and 66.38% in 2017 of eligible
children for immunization were given the complete shots. A decrease of 1.89% is
attributable to the increase in the combined statistics for all municipalities and three
component cities.

5.2.4 Vaccine - Preventable Diseases
Vaccine-preventable diseases are real threats to children who are not properly protected.
Each year children do get sick, and some of them die from illnesses such as influenza
(flu), pertussis and meningitis. Reducing and eliminating the diseases that vaccines
prevent is one of the top achievements in the history of public health.
Vaccination protects children from serious illness and complications of vaccine-

preventable diseases which can include amputation of an arm or leg, paralysis of limbs,
hearing loss, convulsions, brain damage and death.
148
Social Sector
Vaccination is safe and effective. All vaccines undergo long and careful review by
scientists, doctors and the government to make sure they are safe.

BCG stands for Bacille Calmette Guerin. It is an effective immunization against

tuberculosis. BCG is a weakened (attenuated) version of bacteria called Mycobacterium
bovis which is closely related to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the agent responsible for
tuberculosis. The number of children immunized with BCG dropped from a total of
42,588 in 2016 to 43,084 in 2017.
Hepatitis B vaccine is a vaccine that prevents hepatitis B. The first dose is recommended
within 24 hours of birth with either two or three more doses given after that. In the above
table, there were a total of 34,960 babies vaccinated with HEPA B within 24 hours in
2016 while there were a total of 38,260 babies in 2017. On the other hand, in 2016, a
total of 1,544 received HEPA B after 24 hours while much lesser received in 2017 with a
total of 1,459.
Infanrix Penta is a vaccine used in children to prevent five diseases: diphtheria, tetanus
(lockjaw), pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B and poliomyelitis (Polio). Penta
vaccine is given in three doses. In 2016, there were a total of 53,762 who received
PENTA 1, 58,338 who received PENTA 2 and 30,118 PENTA 3. On the other hand, in
2017, total number of recipients of PENTA 1 is 47,236, PENTA 2 is 47,670 and PENTA 3
is 47,911.
The Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) was developed in 1961 by Albert Sabin. Also called
―Trivalent Oral Polio Vaccine‖ or ―Sabin Vaccine‖, OPV consists of a mixture of live,
attenuated (weakened) poliovirus strains of all three poliovirus types. OPV produces
antibodies in the blood to all three types of poliovirus. In the event of infection, these
antibodies protect against paralysis by preventing the spread of wild poliovirus to the
nervous system
149
Social Sector
OPV is the preferred vaccine for most children. As its name suggests, it is given by
mouth. Infants and children should be given four doses of OPV. The doses are given at 2
months, 4 months, 6-18 months and 4-6 years of age.
As shown in Table 102, there are 49,391 OPV 1 recipients, 49,843 OPV 2 recipients and
50,276 OPV 3 recipients in 2016. While in 2017, the total recipients are as follows:
47,517 - OPV 1; 48,270 - OPV 2; and 49,100 - OPV 3.
Meningococcal vaccine (MCV) refers to any of the vaccines used to prevent infection by
Neisseria meningitidis. Different versions are effective against some or all of the
following types of meningococcus: A, C, W135, and Y.
MCV 1 is the first dose of the vaccine provided during 9 months to 11 months old. Based
on Table 102, there are 50,994 recipients in 2016 while there are 48,655 recipients in
2017.
The MMR vaccine is an immunization vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella. It is
a mixture of live attenuated viruses of the three diseases, administered via injection.
MMR is a two-shot series of vaccines usually given during childhood. A child should
receive the first shot between 12-15 months, and the second between 4-6 years of age.
A total of 39,382 children are vaccinated for MCV2 - MMR of which 20,564 are male
while 18,818 are females in 2016. On the other hand, a total of 42,139 MMR recipients of
which are 21,892 males and are 20,247 females recorded for 2017.

Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe acute gastroenteritis (vomiting and severe
diarrhea among children worldwide. Rotavirus vaccine is given orally to babies between
6 and 14 weeks old. It helps prevent infection to rotavirus, which is a common cause of
severe diarrhea in children under five years old. Rotavirus vaccination is provided for
free by the Philippine government since 2012 to curb the high mortality rate of children
who die from diarrheal diseases.
As shown in Table 103, there is a total of 2,566 children who received ROTA 1 or first
dose while a total of 2,002 children received the ROTA 2 or second dose for the year
2016. Meanwhile, no data is available in 2017.

Social Sector
Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) against pneumonia was introduced and

included in the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) last July 2013. PCV was
initially integrated to 333,000 infants aged between six months to 11 months old residing
in the provinces and cities of Caraga and the ARMM. These infants represent the 14% of
the 2.4 million target infants nationwide. This vaccine will protect children not only
against pneumonia but also against other pneumococcal infections like meningitis and
otitis media or hearing infection.
Introduced only in 2014, PCV is given in three doses. Total recipients in 2016 are as
follows: 247 for PCV 1; 39 for PCV 2; and 80 for PCV 3. In 2017 there are 200 recipients
for PCV 1; 14 for PCV 2 and 135 for PCV 3.
Over-all, the Department of Health (DOH) Expanded Program on Immunization provides

free vaccines that protect infants and children from the common vaccine preventable
diseases. Vaccines include BCG for childhood tuberculosis, rotavirus vaccine, Measles-
Mumps-Rubella vaccines (MMR), polio vaccine, and pentavalent vaccine, which is a
combination of Diphtheria-Pertusis-Tetanus-Hepatitis B-Haemophilus influenza vaccines.

5.2.5 Malnutrition
Malnutrition is a group of conditions in children and adults generally related to poor

quality or insufficient quantity of nutrient intake, absorption, or utilization.
Operation Timbang (OPT) Plus is the annual weighing of all preschoolers 0-71 months
old or below six years old in a community to identify and locate the malnourished
children. Data generated through OPT Plus are used for local nutrition action planning,
particularly in quantifying the number of malnourished and identifying who will be given
priority interventions in the community. Moreover, results of OPT Plus provide
information on the nutritional status of the preschoolers and the community in general,
thus, providing information on the effectiveness of the local nutrition program. In 2017,
nutritional status of children are as follows : 762 boys and 715 girls - severely
underweight, 2,791 boys and 2,393 girls – underweight 122,469 boys and 113,938 girls
- normal and 2,409 boys and 1,890 girls - overweight.

Infant mortality refers to deaths of young children, typically those less than one year of
age. It is measured by the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), which is the number of deaths of
children under one year of age per 1,000 live births.
Total recorded live births in the province for 2016 is 33,511; infant deaths totalled to 224;
or with average infant mortality rate of 6.65 for all the 34 LGUs. However, despite the
decrease in number for recorded live births in 2017, or a total of 32,547; infant deaths
decreased by 41 or 2.88% than the previous year (2016); hence, average infant mortality
rate for the province decreased to 6.62% or by 0.03% from the previous recorded IMR in
2016.

5.2.6 Maternal Health
Maternal health is the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum
period. It encompasses the health care dimensions of family planning, preconception,
prenatal, and postnatal care in order to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.
Complications during pregnancy and childbirth are a leading cause of death and
disability among women of reproductive age in developing countries. The Maternal
Mortality Ratio (MMR) represents the risk associated with each pregnancy, i.e. the
obstetric risk per 100,000 live births.
MMR is the ratio between the number of women who died (for reasons of pregnancy,
childbirth and puerperium) to the number of reported live births in a given year,
expressed as the number of maternal deaths per 100,000 live births.
For 2017, MMR in Batangas was recorded at 46.93 for every 100,000 live births. Under
the Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health Nutrition (MNCHN) Program of the province,
continuous efforts are implemented to address the issues on maternal and child health.
The program includes various activities like information drives, improvement of hospital
facilities, establishment andoperation of Basic Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care
(BEmONC) facilities. In the province there are thirty four (34) public BEmONC facilities:
12 District Hospitals BeMONC Trained, 2 CEmONC Hospital Capable and 20 RHUs
BEmONC. Facility-based deliveries refer to deliveries in a health facility to the total
number of deliveries. Facility-based delivery, the utilization of proper equipment operated
by trained midwife-volunteers to ensure safer delivery thereby safeguarding the life of
both the child and the mother, is among the project’s priority thrust.

5.2.7 Community Health Team
Community Health Team (CHT) formerly known as Women’s Health Team (WHT) was
introduced as an essential component of the Women’s Health and Safe Motherhood
(WHSM) intervention framework. It is an effective community-level support system which
aims to: (1) ensure that all pregnant and postpartum women and newborns in the
community, particularly the poor and disadvantaged, are adequately served; and (2) lead
the effort in convincing mothers to shift from home birth to facility-based delivery.
The team is composed of a Rural Health Midwife as the leader in her assigned
catchment area, Barangay Health Workers (BHWs), Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNSs)
and Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs).
The mobilization of CHTs were thru the collaborative effort of the Department of Health
(DOH), with the Departments of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department
of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and Department of Education (DepEd) to
guarantee that every family in the community is periodically visited and attended by
health providers as part of the government’s efforts to achieve Kalusugan Pangkalahatan
or Universal Health Care.
The CHT Mobilization teams (CHTs) will do a nationwide door-to-door visit to reach all
families, especially the poorest Filipino households, identified through the DSWD’s
National Household Targeting System (NHTS). The CHT Mobilization aims to link these
families to social service providers, provide critical social services when needed, and
deliver key health messages.
5.2.8 Barangay Health Worker
A Barangay Health Worker (BHW) is one of the front-liners who provide health care
services for the members of the barangay. It is an individual who went through training
programs under any accredited government or non-government organization to provide
basic, safe, and effective health care services to the people of the district. BHW are vital
in Barangay Health Centers because they provide assistance and support to physicians,
dentists, nutritionists, public health nurses, and midwives. Collectively, they are
considered guardians of the nation's health. As shown in Table 108, there are 5,925
BHWs in the province as of 2017.

5.2.9 Barangay Nutrition Scholars
Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS) are volunteer community workers who are trained in
implementing health and nutrition programs in a locality. Their training in food production,
food fortification, maternal and child health and nutrition, nutrition information and
education, and livelihood assistance helps BNS identify and monitor malnourished
pregnant and lactating mothers and children, and provide them counseling on good
nutrition practice. In the province, total BNS for 2017 accounts to 1,326.

5.2.10 Early Childhood Care and Development
Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) is a three-year cost-sharing program of

the National and Provincial Government that provides the implementation and
sustainability of projects implemented to target LGUs through National and Provincial
Social Welfare and Development Offices.
In the Philippines, Republic Act (RA) 6972, ―An Act Establishing a Day Care Center in
Every Barangay, Instituting Therein a Total Development and Protection of Children
Program, Appropriating Funds Therefore, and for Other Purposes‖, was enacted in
November 1990 by the Congress for the establishment of Day Care Centers in every
barangay.
Day Care Center (DCC) is defined as a facility in a barangay where children who are 3 to
6 years old are cared for during part of the day.
A Child Development Worker (CDW) formerly known as Day Care Worker/ Volunteer is a
child care worker in a Day Care Center providing supplemental parental care and early
childhood enrichment activities.
Based on Table 109, Batangas Province has a total of 6 OB Pagsasarili Centers and
1,099 Day Care Centers (DCCs) serving day care services. Batangas City and Lipa City
have the most number of DCCs with 107 and 109 each while Sta. Teresita has the least
with only 12 DCCs.There are also 3 National Child Development Centers (NCDCs) in the
province located in City of Lipa and Municipalities of Agoncillo and Calatagan.
With regards to the Child Development Worker, there is a total of 1,067. Lipa City has
the most number with a total of 109, while Sta. Teresita has the least with only 10

5.2.11 Environmental Health and Sanitation
Environmental Health and Sanitation refers to activities aimed at improving or

maintaining the standard of basic environmental conditions affecting the well-being of
people.
These conditions include (1) clean and safe water supply; (2) clean and safe ambient air;
(3) efficient and safe animal, human, and industrial waste disposal; (4) protection of food
from biological and chemical contaminants and (5) adequate housing in clean and safe
surroundings. It is also called environmental hygiene.
The Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) of World Health Organization (WHO) and
United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) defines safe drinking water and basic
sanitation as follows:
 Drinking water is water used for domestic purposes, drinking, cooking and
personal hygiene;
 Access to drinking water means that the source is less than 1 kilometer away
from its place of use and that it is possible to reliably obtain at least 20 litres per
member of a household per day;
 Safe drinking water is water with microbial, chemical and physical characteristics
that meet WHO guidelines or national standards on drinking water quality;
 Access to safe drinking water is the proportion of people using improved drinking
water sources: household connection; public standpipe; borehole; protected dug
well; protected spring; rainwater.
Basic sanitation is the lowest-cost technology ensuring hygienic excreta and sullage
disposal and a clean and healthful living environment both at home and in the
neighborhood of users. Access to basic sanitation includes safety and privacy in the use
of these services. Coverage is the proportion of people using improved sanitation
facilities: public sewer connection; septic system connection; pour-flush latrine; simple pit
latrine; ventilated improved pit latrine.
Based on the Report on Environmental Health from Provincial Health Office (PHO),
Table 110 shows the Trend in Environmental Health Statistics 2014-2017. It may be
noted that the number of households in the province has recorded increase from
504,362 households in 2014 to 577,142 households in 2017.
The years 2014 to 2017 showed the satisfactory four year average of 91.25% of
Batangueños with accesss to safe water. This is beyond the Millenium Development
Goal 7 (MDG7) to halve proportion of population without access to safe water and
ensuring Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), clear water and sanitation.
Nonetheless, as one of the basic and primary human needs, the Provincial Government
strives and exerts efforts to attain a much higher degree; if not a full 100% coverage of
safe water accessibilty through its health and sanitation projects.
158
Social Sector
Also within MDG 7 and SDG 6, there are also high number of households with sanitation
facilities. The number of household with sanitary toilet facilities through increasing in
number from 450,302 households in 2014 to 513,334 households in 2017, and is beyond
the MDG target; show a decreasing rate. While in household with complete basic
sanitation facility showed an even lower four-year average of 69.11%.
Despite some problems of solid waste disposal, the report showed that one half of the
number of household in the province have satisfactory disposal of solid waste; however it
must be noted that the percentage for later years is below than the rate recorded for the
previous year. Please refer to the Table 110.

5.3 Poverty Incidence
Poverty threshold refers to the minimum income/expenditure required for a family or

individual to meet the basic food and non-food requirements. It is also equal to the cost
of minimum basic food + non-food requirements.
Food threshold on the other hand, refers to the minimum income/expenditure required
for a family or individual to meet the basic food needs, which satisfies the nutritional
requirements for economically necessary and socially desirable physical activities. It also
referred to as the subsistence threshold or the food poverty line.
Data shows an increasing trend for the annual per capita food threshold and annual per
capita poverty threshold both in both Batangas Province and CALABARZON Region
from 2006 to 2015.
As shown in Table 112, Annual Per Capita Food Threshold in Batangas compared to
that of the Region is way higher in terms of peso and percentage subsistence incidence
in 2006, 2009 and 2012; however, the Province stands almost paralel with the region in
2015, with P15,175 Annual Per Capita Food Threshold and 1.6% Subsistence
Incidence.

5.4 Housing
Housing and housing backlogs has been a growing concern in the country. For years,
the Province of Batangas has initiated efforts in responding to this issue. In 2000, the
Sangguniang Panlalawigan passed SP Resolution #141 S 2000 ―Providing for the
Creation of Poor and Urban Development Housing Board and its attached Office- the
Provincial Urban Development and Housing Office for the Province of Batangas‖. Said
Office was later renamed as ―Housing and Homesite Affairs Services‖; a Division under
the Provincial Administrator’s Office. Its task includes the support and provision of
technical assistance to further strengthen the Local Housing Boards; and in the
formulation of Local Shelter Plans and programs.
In the 2015 Census of Population and Housing of the Philippine Statistics Authority,
(reference: RSET 2018) for the Province’s population of 2,686,444, there are 613,825
households with 597,758 occupied housing units. For 2015 census year, ratio is 1.03
households to occupied housing units; while the ratio for household population to
occupied housing unit for the same year is at 4.49.
Out of 34 LGUs, only seven (7) have formulated and completed their Local Shelter Plans
(LSP). These are Balete, Bauan, Batangas City, Cuenca, Mabini, Balayan and Lemery.
As provided by DSWD Region IV-A, in their 2015 Listahanan Survey, there are 39,945
poor households in the province. Housing and tenure status of these poor households
are reflected in Table 114.

5.5 Safety and Security
5.5.1 Public Order and Safety
5.5.1.1 Police Force
As of 2017, the Province of Batangas has a total police force of 2,067 of which one
hundred (100) are police commissioned officers while 1,967 are police non-
commissioned officers. Police to population ratio is 1:1349.
5.5.1.2 Index Crime
The Province of Batangas can generally be considered as a peaceful and orderly

province. Peace and order always remain as one of the major priority thrusts of the
government both national and local. Programs for safety and security from all levels of
local government; from barangays to provincial are stringently being implemented to
assure that Batangueños, their visitors , investors and the general public as a whole are
safe and protected. However crime incidents cannot always be prevented; though most
can be considered as isolated cases.
A crime is an act committed or omitted in violations of a law forbidding or commanding it

and for which a punishment is imposed upon conviction. In the Philippines, the Revised
Penal Code Republic Act (3815) serves as the basic law that defines criminal offense
and provides the penalties for the commission of such. Crimes are classified either as
index or non-index crimes. Index crimes, as defined by the Philippine National Police
(PNP) involve crimes against persons and crimes against property.
Crimes against persons include murder, homicide, physical injury and rape; while
robbery, theft, carnapping and cattle rustling fall under crimes against property.
In the CALABARZON Region, the drive to maintain peace and order has taken positive
results for 2016-2017, wherein there is a decrease of 6.96% or crime 889 incidents.
Though there is only little difference in numbers for crimes committed against persons
and crimes against property, in the region for 2016, crimes against persons comprise
46.95% and 53.05% are crimes against property; whereas, 49.59% and 50.41% are
attributed to both, for 2017, respectively. These are presented in Table 115, where it is
also shown that Batangas Province’s crime incident is lowest among the five (5)
provinces. Of the 12,766 incidents in 2016, Batangas accounts to the lowest percentage
at 15.66% share with the least number, with Cavite with the highest rate. The Province’s
percentage rate is further reduced in 2017, where a recorded percentage share is posted
at 13.17% or a total of 1,564 reported crimes.

Table 117, shows the Index Crime Statistics in the Province of Batangas wherein there is
a posted decrease of 435 incidents or 21.76% for 2017 against 2016 figures from a total
of 1,999 in 2016 to 1,564 in 2017. Total crimes committed against persons for both years
are less than crimes perpetrated against property, with 1,118 and 938 for 2016 and 2017
as compared to 881and 626 for 2016 and 2017 for crimes against properties.
A decrease of 16.10% is noted in the incidence of crimes against persons. Contributing

to the over-all decrease is the significant reduction by 30% in murder and 14.93%
decrease in physical injury. Homicide also decreased by 6.67%. While all the three types
of crimes against persons decreased considerably, additional 18 cases of rape was
recorded in 2017 which resulted to an increase of 10.65%.
With lesser occurrence of crimes against property compared to crimes against persons
for both years, recorded incidents for crimes against property have likewise decreased
by 255. Over-all percentage of decrease is posted at 28.94%; significant of which are the
reduction of robbery at 42.34% and castle rustling by 50%. It must be noted also that all
crime types under this index crime classification has considerably decreased.
Despite having the least crime incidence in CALABARZON Region, concerned

authorities do not remain complacent and measures to promote peace, order, safety and
security, and to further reduce the perpetration if not totally eradicate crime incidence
remain to be the government’s major concern.

5.5.3 Armed Forces of the Philippines’ Role in the Peace and Order Program of the
Provincial Government of Batangas
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) full support to the government’s Peace and
Order Program is a manifestation that the Filipino soldiers adhere to the principle of
peace. They also share the same sentiments with the Provincial Government of
Batangas that peace and order efforts are essential in resolving problems and in
addressing threats to local as well as national security.
The AFP which is composed of the Philippine Army, Philippine Navy and Philippine Air
Force plays a vital role in the Peace and Order Program of the government both through
its traditional and non – traditional roles.
As the members of AFP took their oath, they have devoted their lives to protecting the
people and the state. Given their decade of experience in ensuring internal peace and
security, they can proudly say that the men and women of the AFP have achieved
substantial gains in addressing armed groups that threaten our country's peace and
security. They have also learned that addressing all internal peace and security concerns
cannot be done by the AFP alone.
Thus they have brave men to explore new perspectives and ways to getting things done.
What resulted were the new AFP Internal Peace and Security Plan (IPSP). Outlined in
this IPSP is their new strategic direction in the performance of the constitutional
mandate. The AFP remains committed to addressing armed threats to our nation's peace
and security. This shall be done with utmost respect and adherence to human rights,
international humanitarian law, and the rule of law. These are non-negotiable because at
the center of the IPSP are the Filipino people. More than just defeating the enemy, they
166
Social Sector
shall perform their constitutional mandate with the end in view of winning the peace for
the Filipino nation. Thus, this plan has been crafted in close consultation and cooperation
with their partners in other national government agencies and the civil society. This shall
remain true in the implementation and even evaluation of the plan. This network of
partnership that they have established shall be further strengthened and broadened to
include the entire Filipino nation.
The AFP IPSP is the Armed Forces’ commitment to the attainment of a quality and
progressive life for the Filipino nation and its people. The AFP, as an able partner in
peace and development, believes on the importance of shared responsibility with the
various peace and security stakeholders in addressing the peace and security concerns
of the country
Hand and hand with the traditional role is the AFP’s participation in non-traditional roles
and activities. As an active conduit of the government in peace and development, the
AFP is currently implementing a number of social mobilization projects with poverty
eradication program as the main thrust.
5.5.4 Philippine Army
As one joins the Philippine Army, he forges a covenant with the Divine, his country, and
his people. He submits himself to a lifetime commitment and total sacrifice in defending
and upholding national sovereignty. He takes as his own the Philippine Army's core
philosophy, and takes pride and satisfaction in serving the nation he is sworn to protect.
His guide is the fundamental law, the Constitution that establishes the basic principles
that govern the country, with the military's express covenant to preserve the integrity of
such principles and sovereignty of the country, both as a defender and as an agent of
civil authority in nation building.
The Philippine Army and the Soldier are united in principle, one being symbolic of the
other. In his mission, the Soldier serves the country on behalf of the Philippine Army and
therefore cannot be distinct from it. In understanding this relationship, the soldier's
identity with the Army's core philosophy is paramount in defining the energy that guides
the soldier.
The Philippine Army is totally dedicated to service to the country and carries a Code of
Values that constantly reinforces and assures that, for as long as this exists in the
soldier, the country will remain sovereign in its own right. Clearly, honoring the Philippine
Army's core values and meeting its exacting standards of conduct are the essence of the
fulfilment of the soldier's noble path of duty for love of his country. Each citizen in the
service of the Army, in whatever capacity, intuitively undertakes to follow value-based
rules as the necessary backbone of the overall effectiveness of the Philippine Army.

5.5.5 Philippine Navy
Counterpart of Army’s projects is the floating government centers under the Philippine
Navy. Utilizing some of the naval assets in coordination with LGUs and line agencies,
provide basic services to people living in the remote coastal areas or bringing the
government to the people who because of distance are unable to go to government
centers.
5.5.6 Philippine Air Force
Fernando Air Base or Philippine Air Force Air Education and Training Command (PAF
AETC) is one of the major Commands of the Philippine Air Force in the Province.
