FOREWORD
In its commitment to widely disseminate and communicate statistical information

generated by the Philippine Statistical System, the Philippine Statistics Authority
(PSA), through its Regional Statistical Service Offices (RSSOs) continues to update
and publish local level statistics designed to address the varied statistical needs of
planners and policy makers at the local level. The Regional Social Economic Trends
(RSET) for Eastern Visayas Region, now on its 24th edition, has proven to be useful
for planning and decision-making and for setting policies towards effective
governance and improved service delivery at the local level.
The RSET, compendium of local level statistics, presents annual time series data on
various sectors of the region and its component provinces, cities, and municipalities.
It also contains data that are disaggregated in different dimensions and includes a
glossary of terms of official concepts and definitions for statistical purposes as
approved by the PSA Board.
This edition features the latest population count and other demographic
characteristics for Eastern Visayas Region (Region 8) by province, city and
municipality based on the 2015 Census of Population.
We sincerely acknowledge the unwavering support and cooperation of all our partner
agencies and data sources for making the 2018 edition of the RSET possible. We
likewise appreciate the support of our clients who continue to patronize and
recognize this publication as an important tool for evidence-based decision making.
We reiterate our call on our partner agencies to continue our collaboration towards
the empowerment of the countryside by making statistics more accessible to users.
Further, we enjoin both our data sources and users to share their comments and
suggestions to guide us in improving our statistical products and services, future
editions of the RSET, and other publications of the PSA.

OVERVIEW OF EASTERN VISAYAS
Eastern Visayas or Region VIII is composed of the three major islands of Leyte, Samar
and Biliran. It has 6 provinces: Biliran, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Northern Samar, Southern
Leyte, and Samar; 7 cities: Tacloban (highly urbanized city), as the regional capital,
Borongan, Baybay, Ormoc, Maasin, Calbayog and Catbalogan; 136 municipalities, and
4,390 barangays. It has a total land area of 23,234.8 square kilometers which accounts for
7.7 percent of the country’s land area.
Strategically linking the islands of Luzon and Mindanao via the National Maharlika
Highway, the region serves as the only gateway to northern and southern parts of the
country. It is home to its longest and most graceful-looking bridge in the Philippines, the San
Juanico Bridge, and the tallest, the Agas-Agas Bridge.
Based on the 2015 Census of Population, the region has a total population of 4.4 million
and a population density of about 191 persons per square kilometer. The locales are called
Waray but some Cebuano-speaking residents also settle in Ormoc City, Western Leyte and
parts of Southern Leyte.
Dubbed as the geothermal capital of the Philippines, the Tongonan Geothermal Plants
known as the Leyte Geothermal Power Field (LGPF) is the second geothermal power
producer in the world. The region also sits one of the country’s top dollar earners, the
Philippine Associated Smelting and Refinery Corporation (PASAR).
Rich in natural resources, including vast agricultural lands with fertile soil and abundant
water sources, the region is the sixth largest producer of coconut and second largest
producer of abaca among the 17 regions in the country.
The vision of Eastern Visayas, as gleaned from its Regional Development Plan
(RDP) 2017-2022, is spliced on its long-term aim to become a resilient and prosperous
region where people enjoy equitable socioeconomic opportunities for and benefits of
sustainable human development. The pursuit of which is anchored on twin regional goals:
1) robust and sustained economic growth, and 2) reduced poverty and inequality in all
dimensions – geared on three economic growth drivers: agriculture and fisheries,
manufacturing, and tourism.

Chapter 1
POPULATION AND HOUSING
T he data on population and housing are among the most sought after the data by
con stakeholders of various segments of the population. Reliable information on the
size, characteristics and spatial distribution of the population are the most needed
h
information by planners, decision makers, investors and researchers. Most of the
programs and projects of the government and non-government institutions are
people-centered and are geared towards improving the quality of life of the people.
e
Adequate data provide bases in determining what, where, how and when public
services, facilities and interventions be put in place. Housing statistics are also basic
information needed by the stakeholders as bases for proper intervention and
h
effective planning for the housing needs of the populace.
This chapter presents data on demographic characteristics of the population and
h
the stock and condition of housing units in the region and its provinces, cities and
municipalities . Projected population of the region, which are estimated based on the
results of the previous population censuses, are also presented here. Data on
e
migration patterns are included in this chapter as well.
Among the data sources on population and housing statistics are the Philippine
T
Statistics Authority (PSA), Department of Budget and Management, Home Mutual
Development Fund (PAG-IBIG Fund), and Commission on Filipinos Overseas
(CFO).

Chapter 2
INCOME AND PRICES
D ata on the levels and patterns of family income and expenditure, poverty incidence
and threshold and price indices are vital indicators of the socio-economic status of
the people. These data provide picture of the standard of living, the varying degrees of
inequality, the purchasing capacity, and the demand for goods and services of families.
Moreover, these data are essential in the conceptualization and assessment of poverty
alleviation programs of government, private and non-government organizations. Thus,
various sectors and program implementers in all levels of the government bureaucracy
will be guided in the formulation and monitoring of appropriate interventions towards
alleviating the lives of the people and promoting quality of life for all.
This chapter presents data on income and expenditures and the consumer price
indices. Several indicators derived from these basic data such as poverty incidence and
threshold, income gap, poverty gap, severity of poverty, inflation rate and purchasing
power of the peso are also shown in this chapter. The income, expenditures and price
data are generated from the results of the Family Income and Expenditures Survey
(FIES) and price surveys of the PSA. The provincial poverty statistics and municipal
level poverty estimates are computed by the PSA using the results of the FIES, LFS and
Census of Population.
Highlights
 The average annual family income (at current prices) in Eastern Visayas
increased to Php 197,000 in 2015 from Php 166,000 in 2012, an up by
18.7 percent. Similarly, average annual family expenditure (at current prices)
went up by 18.2 percent, from Php 132,000 in 2012 to Php 156,000 in 2015.
 Poverty incidence among families in Eastern Visayas decreased to 30.7 percent

in 2015 from 37.4 percent in 2012. Moreover, the annual per capita poverty
threshold in the region significantly increased to Php 21,304 in 2015 from
Php 18,076 in 2012. With this threshold, a family of five needed at least
Php 8,877, on the average, every month to meet the family’s basic food and
non-food needs.

 In 2017, the average inflation rate of the region was posted at 3.8 percent.
Among the provinces, Northern Samar recorded the highest average inflation rate
at 6.9 percent. Biliran, on the other hand, had the lowest at 2.1 percent.

Notes:
1. Poverty estimates for the basic sectors for 2009, which were released on June 2012 were revised
based on the following:
a) adoption of the new urban and rural classification in the Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES)
as defined in the NSCB Resolution No. 9 Series of 2003; and
b) use of the 2006-Based Consumer Price Index (CPI) prices in the computation of the food or subsistence thresholds.
2. Poverty incidence is the proportion of poor population to total population.

Notes:
1. Poverty incidence is the proportion of poor population to total population.
2. The poverty incidence of municipalities are ranked in two ways: (1) among municipalities in a province
and (2) among municipalities in the region.
3. The methodology employed to generate poverty incidence was small-area estimation using the
data of the 2012 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), 2012 Labor Force Survey (LFS)
and 2007 Census of Population.

ECONOMIC ACCOUNTS
T he economic accounts of the region, which are presented in terms of the Gross
Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), provide a comprehensive and meaningful
quantitative picture of the regional economy. The accounts likewise serve as a yardstick
for assessing the economic performance of the region during a given period and over a
span of time. With its usefulness in charting the socioeconomic growth path of the
region, the GRDP, a macroeconomic indicator of economic performance, is necessary
in planning, policy formulation and analytical exercises.
This chapter presents the GRDP on an annual basis in terms of levels, growth and
indices at constant and current prices, the structure of the regional economy by
industrial origin, and the sectors that contribute and are of great potential to the region’s
growth. The series is generated by the Philippine Statistics Authority from primary and
secondary data sources gathered from various data producers in the country.
Highlights
 The economy of Eastern Visayas grew by 1.8 percent in 2017, slower than the
12.0 percent growth recorded in 2016. This was mainly driven by the
Manufacturing subsector and supported by the growths exhibited by Other
Services, Financial Intermediation, Public Administration and Defense,
Compulsory Social Security (PAD), Trade, Real Estate, Renting and Business
Activities (RERBA), Transport, Storage and Communication (TSC) and
Agriculture and Forestry.
 Services’ growth stood at 6.2 percent in 2017. TSC managed to grow by

2.3 percent from 8.8 percent growth in the previous year. Similarly, Financial
Intermediation and Trade posted decelerated growth rates of 10.3 percent and
4.9 percent, respectively. Other Services also slowed down to 8.7 percent
compared with the 10.8 percent growth posted in 2016. Meanwhile, PAD and
RERBA, posted accelerated growth rates of 6.8 percent and 6.2 percent,
respectively.
 Agriculture, Hunting, Forestry and Fishing (AHFF) likewise managed to grow,

albeit slower at 0.1 percent in 2017 compared with the 2.4 percent growth posted
in the previous year.
 Industry contracted to 1.7 percent in 2017 from a 19.5 percent growth posted in
the previous year. This was attributed to the decline of the three subsectors:
Construction by 21.0 percent, Electricity, Gas and Water Supply (EGWS)
by 3.1 percent, Mining and Quarrying by 12.3 percent. Manufacturing, on the
other hand, grew by 13.2 percent.

Chapter 4
ENVIRONMENT & NATURAL RESOURCES
A
growing awareness and national concern on the country’s natural resources and
e environmental condition have been demonstrated during the past years. These
resulted from the development vision long espoused by national and local leaders and
T
the worldwide goal of sustainable development. The said goal implies a balance
between resource utilization and development, protection and conservation of the
country’s environment and natural resources. In this approach, development will benefit
not only today’s generation but the future as well.
All these concerns underscore the need for more reliable, timely and comprehensive
data. Data are critical to the government, private sector and even international
community in the formulation of policies and programs designed to bring about effective
environmental protection and resource utilization. They are important inputs in
designing measures that would safeguard the environment and natural resources and
remedy destruction and degradation in these areas.
This chapter presents data on land, forest, mineral, and watershed areas, climate of
the region and/or its provinces. The data sources include the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB),
Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), and Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical
and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
Highlights
 Metallurgic chromite ore production decline to 31,146 d.m.t in 2017 from

44,210 dry metric tons (d.m.t) in 2016, a decrease by 29.5 percent.
Consequently, total value of metallurgic chromite ore produced dropped by 24.0
percent, from 321.5 million pesos in 2016 to 244.2 million pesos in 2017.
 Number of clearances issued to business owners/operators by EMB decreased

to 998 in 2017 from 1,133 in 2016, a decline by 11.9 percent. Certificates of
Non-Coverage issued declined by 13.6 percent, while Environmental Compliance
Certificates (ECC) issued went down by 3.7 percent.
 A total of 6,535 patents were issued by DENR in 2017. Almost three-fourth or

74.9 percent of the patents issued were regular patents, while the rest or
25.1 percent were CARP patents.
 The highest total rainfall in the region in 2017 was recorded at 4,611 millimeters
by Visayas State University, Baybay City Station.

Chapter 5
AGRICULTURE AND AGRARIAN REFORM
I n Eastern Visayas, about half of the population is dependent on agriculture for

livelihood. The sector is the major source of food. This situation then makes
agricultural development a top and an urgent priority of governance in the region. It
likewise calls for a truly meaningful agrarian reform that promotes social justice, sound
rural development and industrialization.
To this end, data on agriculture are of paramount importance. They provide

objective basis for directing legislation aimed at developing agriculture and fishery
sectors and in the implementation of agrarian reform. The data also provide indicators of
impacts of programs and projects in the lives of farmers. The status and trends
portrayed by data help identify necessary interventions. In this manner, the systems of
monitoring and assessment of programs can be better sharpened and refocused to give
greater attention to problems and potential areas.
This chapter presents regional and provincial data on crops, livestock, poultry,
fishery, number and area of farms by type and size, number of agricultural operators,
status of agrarian reform, and number of registered and confirmed cooperatives. Data
sources are the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), Department of Agrarian Reform
(DAR) and the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA).
Highlights
 Palay production in the region declined by 1.0 percent from 954,844 metric tons
(MT) in 2016 to 945,565 MT in 2017.
 The region registered an average palay yield of 3.47 MT per hectare. Among
provinces, Biliran recorded the highest average yield of palay at 4.53 MT per
hectare while Eastern Samar registered the lowest yield at 2.65 MT per hectare.
 As of 1 January 2017, the total hog population in the region was 321,494 heads.
This is 0.3 percent lower than the 322,574 heads inventory in 2016.
 As of 1 January 2017, the total chicken population in Eastern Visayas was

2,737,902 birds. This is 20.5 percent higher than last year’s total stock of
2,272,502 birds.
 Annual per capita consumption of pork in Eastern Visayas was estimated at

8.95 kilograms per person. Among provinces, Leyte recorded the highest per
capita consumption of 11.05 kilograms per person.
 Annual per capita consumption of chicken in the region was estimated at

6.90 kilograms per person. Among provinces, Leyte registered the highest per
capita consumption of 10.17 kilograms per person.

INDUSTRY
D ata on the industries and investments in the region serve as gauge of the extent
of its attractiveness and capability to absorb entrepreneurial ventures. An
analysis of the data on the size and growth of industries and the stock and flow of
investments shows the enabling factors that provide or enhance the comparative
advantages enjoyed by industries and investors in the area. Moreover, the data can
give indications on the limiting factors that hinder entry, growth and movement of
industries and investments. With the data providing signals, the concerned
governmental instrumentalities can formulate policies, enforce regulations and
undertake infrastructure programs and other forms of support to business and
prospective investors. Armed with the data, key decision makers in the government
and the private sectors can also forge alliances to improve the business climate and
environment. Ultimately, the policies and measures implemented as well as the
alliances can serve as instruments for achieving growth in the industry sector and
providing employment opportunities to the region’s labor force.
This chapter presents regional and provincial data on the number of

establishments by industry, business names registered and employment generated,
and number, floor area and value of private building construction. Data were taken
from the Philippine Statistics Authority and the Department of Trade and Industry.

TRADE
D
a
ata on trade reflect the extent of the inward and outward flow of commodities in an
area. The data likewise indicate the kind of commodities that either go into the
export/import markets or are used for domestic or foreign consumption. Proprietors,
managers and executives of private businesses also use them in identifying high
potential markets and in deciding on which commodities to produce and what markets to
penetrate. Policy makers and implementors in government, on the other hand, use the
data to conceptualize and initiate programs, projects, services, and facilities that
stimulate trading activities in high yielding areas and/or in those sectors where a
demand and supply gap exists. The data are also useful in identifying areas and
products that need to be improved/promoted for better competitiveness.
This chapter presents data on the volume and value of exported and imported
commodities that enter ports located in the region and the value of commodity flow by
mode of transport. The PSA generates these statistics based on the data that are
processed from administrative reporting forms of agencies in government involved in the
collection of customs and tariff charges or administration of ports.
Highlights
 The region’s total value of exports more than tripled, registering an increase of
211.2 percent, from US$ 310.1 million in 2016 to US$ 965.0 million in 2017.
Cathodes and Sections of Cathodes, of Refined Copper was the top export
commodity group of the region in 2017, valued at US$ 665.6 million.
 Total value of imports significantly increased by 570.4 percent from

US$ 216.7 million in 2016 to US$ 1,452.9 million in 2017. The significant increase
in the total value of imports was due to a big increase in the total value of
metalliferous ores and metal scrap in the region.
 Total value of commodity outflow from Region VIII increased significantly by

69.4 percent from P28.8 billion in 2013 to P48.7 billion in 2014. Caraga Region
exhibited the highest outflow destination with a total value amounting to
P42.5 billion or 87.3 percent from the total outflow in 2014.
 Total value of commodity inflow to the region decreased substantially by

19.2 percent from P54.1 billion in 2013 to P43.7 billion in 2014. Central Visayas
and Caraga Regions were the major sources of inflow with 36.3 percent and
37.7 percent shares, respectively.

TOURISM
T
ourism is an important source of foreign exchange receipts and of livelihood and
employment opportunities for communities. Data on the industry provide a panorama
of the region as a tourist destination. They provide a quantitative measure of the results of
programs that promote the area as a traveler's destination and the industry's contributions
to the economic performance of the area. The data are essential in providing vital links in
the development and orchestration of campaigns aimed at promoting the region as a
tourist hideaway. Local leaders can put up infrastructure and institute policies and
regulations that will boost the inflow of visitors. Investors, on the other hand, can take
signals to develop tourist and recreational sites and put up establishments and amenities.
This chapter presents regional level data on the visitor arrivals and their countries of
residence/origin and average occupancy rates of the region’s accommodation facilities.
Provincial and city level data on visitor arrivals reported by accommodation
establishments and various tourist attractions in the region are also shown. The data
source is the Department of Tourism (DOT).
Highlights
 Total visitor arrivals to the region increased by 11.8 percent, from 1,229,598 in
2016 to 1,375,234 in 2017.
 Domestic tourists, which comprised the bulk (96.0 percent) of the total visitor
arrivals, increased by 12.0 percent.

Chapter 9
VITAL, HEALTH & NUTRITION STATISTICS
T he health and nutrition status of the people is an utmost concern of local

ern governance. The focus of current development efforts is towards extending better
health services and expanding its delivery system even to the remotest rural
communities. This is anchored on the concept that no individual should be deprived of
the right to health care. The strengths and well being of the people influence their
capabilities to engage in various economic endeavors.
These concerns and objectives necessitate the provision of data on vital events,
health and nutrition as bases in the delivery of services catering to the health and
nutritional requirements of individuals. The data are key inputs to programs aimed at
providing the basic minimum services to the citizenry. They provide a profile of the
health status and level, causes and patterns of the mortality and morbidity of the
population. A cross analysis of the data with the demographic and socioeconomic
information of a target population can show existing and potential problems in an area.
This chapter provides data on total fertility and mortality rates, projected life
expectancies, number of health personnel and facilities, coverage of immunization
programs, nutritional status of children, and the leading causes of mortality and
morbidity. The sources of data are the PSA, Department of Health (DOH) and National
Nutrition Council (NNC).

Highlights
 Hypertensive Cardio Vascular Disease was the top leading cause of deaths in
the region with 3,462 cases recorded in 2017. This translates to about
74 deaths per 100,000 population. Meanwhile, Pneumonia remained as the
number one leading cause of deaths among infants with a total of 165 cases,
or a rate of about two (2) deaths per 100,000 live births.
 Acute Respiratory Infection was the major leading cause of morbidity with
230,305 incidences recorded in 2017. This translates to 4,895 cases per
100,000 population.
 The proportion of underweight pre-school children (ages 0-6 years) weighed

in 2017 had slightly improved at 7.1 percent from 8.5 percent in 2016.
Similarly, the proportion of severely underweight pre-school children
eased a little to 2.4 percent in 2017 from 2.8 percent in 2016.
 The number of government doctors, nurses, dentist and other medical

pratictioners in the region went up by 10.6 percent, from 3,220 in 2016 to
3,560 in 2017. More than two-fifths or 46.6 percent were stationed in Field
Health Services.

EDUCATION
T he far reaching and enduring effects of education on individual and societal

growth call for serious efforts to continuously improve and promote the
educational facilities and services to the people. More so, the responsiveness of the
educational system to changes in the socioeconomic spheres and the demands of
development initiatives pose challenges to decision makers and educators. It is,
then imperative for the government to earnestly make its educational programs
meaningful and efficient.
To address these challenges, adequate and timely supply of data focusing on the
levels and state of resources and facilities available in the educational system is
vital. The data are essential in the planning, implementation and supervision of
programs in this field.
This chapter presents data at the regional down to the division level. The
statistics include number of enrolments, schools, teachers and graduates by level
and type of school (public or private). The chapter contains indicators such as
teacher-student ratio and performance indicators like enrolment, retention, survival,
completion, dropout, transition, and graduation rates. Also shown are data on literacy
rates, post-secondary enrolment and graduates and number of persons assessed
and certified for skills competency by TESDA. The data are obtained from the
Department of Education (DepEd), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED),
the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and the PSA.

Chapter 12
SOCIAL SERVICES
P eople empowerment, care, protection and rehabilitation of the disadvantaged and

special sectors of society are the primary goals of our social welfare policies and
programs. The objective is to place the disadvantaged sectors of society in the
mainstream of productive and economic processes. This entails converting the
disadvantaged groups into active agents and partners in development. In this manner,
growth and progress pervade all sectors of society and the disadvantaged sectors
become beneficiaries of development.
In contributing to the attainment of these goals, the generation of data and relevant
indicators is therefore of utmost necessity. Data on social welfare serve as indicators of
results and impacts of goals, policies and programs on human development. They help
direct the thrusts and focus the programs and other interventions implemented by
government, private and non-governmental institutions to wider and more rationalized
target beneficiaries.
This chapter presents data on the number of persons with disabilities, and number of
clients served by the various outreach and service programs of the Department of Social
Welfare and Development (DSWD), as well as the personnel and facilities utilized in
carrying out these programs. Data were taken from the PSA and DSWD.
Highlights
 Clients served through various centers/facilities/institutions of DSWD increased
by 67.8 percent, from 18,714 in 2016 to 31,409 in 2017. Almost all or
99.2 percent of the center-based clients served in 2017 were in
Crisis Intervention Unit (CIU).
 The number of Women in Especially Difficult Circumstances (WEDC) served

through community-based social welfare programs/projects more than doubled
posting an increase of 131.4 percent, from 862 in 2016 to 1,995 in 2017. Women
in Crisis accounted for about 23.1 percent of the total WEDC cases in 2017.
 The number of trafficked victims monitored by DSWD more than doubled as well,
registering an increase of 126.9 percent, from 26 in 2016 to 59 in 2017. Majority
(91.5 percent) of the trafficked victims in 2017 were women.

TRANSPORTATION
AND COMMUNICATION
T he different modes of transportation and channels for communication are vital

in the economic, social and cultural lives of peoples and institutions. A well-
developed transportation system ensures fast and efficient transfer of goods and
services between traders, households and institutions within and outside
geographical limits of a community. Advances in communication system accelerates
the flow of information, enables faster access to and dissemination of news, events
and developments in the domestic and international scene. It helps stimulate
business growth.
The provision of data on the transportation and communication sector is therefore
indispensable in charting the course towards socioeconomic development and
cultural upliftment. Data on the extent and coverage of the transportation and
communication networks provide planners and decision makers in government and
in entrepreneurial ventures with a sound basis to improve their infrastructures.
Planners use them in formulating strategies that would link them to the neighboring
localities.
This chapter presents transportation and communication data at the regional and
provincial levels. On transportation, data include number of registered motor
vehicles, road length, number and length of bridges, number of sea and air ports,
movement of aircraft, and volume of sea and air passengers and cargo handled. On
communication, data include number of telecommunication facilities, telephone
density and volume of mails handled. Data sources are Land Transportation Office
(LTO), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Provincial and City
Engineers Offices, Air Transportation Office (ATO), Philippines Ports Authority
(PPA), National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), Telecommunications
Office and the Philippine Postal Corporation (PPC).

Chapter 14
ENERGY AND WATER RESOURCES
T he importance of energy and water resources in countryside development is

recognized in many ways. They are essential in stimulating the growth of businesses
and other institutions operating in the locality. Industries and agriculture, the major
contributors to the region’s economy, are highly dependent on these resources. They are
also vital in the day-to-day lives of individuals residing in the community.
Considering the multifarious uses of these resources, the data on the level, extent,
sources and utilization of energy and water provide signals on the potentials of the area to
achieve growth and development. They are vital inputs to national and local programs of
government. The business sector also uses them in the conduct of feasibility studies and
investment planning. They also serve as indicators of the standard of living of families
comprising the community.
This chapter presents regional and provincial data on power, water and irrigation.
Specifically, the data on power include the number of municipalities/barangays energized,
power distribution, service connections and power rates by electric cooperatives. The
data on water includes production, service connections, water rates and irrigation
systems. The data sources are the National Electrification Administration (NEA), Local
Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) and the National Irrigation Administration (NIA).
Highlights
 Power distributed in Eastern Visayas increased by 2.5 percent to
963,288 MWh in 2017 from 939,796 Megawatt-hour (MWh) in 2016. Residential
consumers comprised more than half or 57.4 percent of the total number of
consumers in the region.
 Electricity service connections in the region increased to 830,617 in 2017 from

794,386 in 2016, an expansion by 4.6 percent. LEYECO I and LEYECO II posted
the highest increases of 8.4 percent and 6.6 percent, respectively.
 Average system rate in Eastern Visayas decline to P7.33 per KWh in 2017
from P8.77 per kilowatt-hour (KWh) in 2016, a downscale by 16.4 percent.
ESAMELCO recorded the highest average system rate among electric
cooperatives at P9.13 per KWh.
 Calbayog Water District in Samar charged the highest minimum water rate
(first 10 cubic meters) as of December 2016 at P287.00. Meanwhile, Naval Water
District in Biliran billed the lowest at P64.60.
 The number of Communal Irrigation Systems (CIS) assisted by NIA decreased

to 462 in 2017 from 471 in 2016, lower by 1.9 percent. The 38,450 hectares
CIS-covered service area in the region benefited 352 Irrigators’ Associations and
27,153 farmers.

ata on the levels, patterns and distribution of the income and expenditures of
local government units (LGUs) are essential in measuring their capabilities to
provide public service to their constituents. Specifically, the level of income serves as a
criterion in the classification of the LGUs. The classification of LGUs then provides
legislators a yardstick in the allocation of resources and other forms of assistance.
Furthermore, the data provide sound and logical basis in the choice of alternative
options aimed at balancing the sources and disposition of resources. The data are also
useful in identifying priority program areas and localities in the community.
This chapter presents data on Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) for LGUs, revenue
collections, annual income and expenditures of LGUs, and classification of provinces,
cities and municipalities by income class. The sources of data are the Department of
Budget and Management (DBM), Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), and the Bureau of
Local Government Finance (BLGF).

BANKING AND FINANCE
T
he banking and finance sector plays a vital role in the development of productive
actiactivities of proprietors and corporate institutions. The growth in the number of
banking and other financial institutions gives insights on the pace at which the business
and trade grows. Also, the presence and accessibility of establishments providing
financial services to existing and prospective investors contribute to the realization of
programs and projects aimed at industrial and entrepreneurial advancement.
In this light, generation of data pertaining to the operations of financial institutions is
needed to better understand the prevailing economic condition and undertake appropriate
steps aimed at achieving desired economic goals. Data on loans granted by banks
provide a picture of the level and nature of investments put up over time. Statistics on
loans outstanding of financial institutions serve as signals of the rate of turnover of
investments. These and similar information help strengthen confidence of strategists to
sustain their businesses and pursue other ventures.
This chapter presents data on the number of offices of the financial system in the
region, loan portfolio and combined resources of banking offices. The source of data is
the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).

2016 to 808 in 2017. The number of banking institutions went up by 8.1 percent
from 210 in 2016 to 227 in 2017. Non-Bank Financial Intermediaries, increased
by 4.9 percent to 575 in 2017 from 548 in 2016. Meanwhile, the number of
Non-Bank Thrift Institutions remained at six (6).
 Total bank assets of the region reached P65.2 billion as of 30 September 2017.
The bulk or 68.5 percent of the assets were from universal and commercial banks.
 Net loan portfolio of banking institutions in the region reached P27.8 billion
as of 30 September 2017. More than three-fifths or 62.3 percent of the loans were
from universal and commercial banks.

PUBLIC ORDER, SAFETY & JUSTICE
O ne of the basic goals of the government is to establish a peaceful, stable and just
on- environment conducive to national growth and development. A society where
peace, order and law prevail is not only a goal or a vision. It is one of the pillars of
man’s basic rights. Development that is not coupled with order, safety and justice
contribute to the degradation of society. The effects of public order, safety and justice in
national well-being and in every fiber of the social and economic lives of individuals are
priority concerns of governance.
In this light, an information system that generates timely and reliable data becomes a
necessary tool in the administration of justice and enforcement of laws as well as to aid
legislation. Data on public order, safety and justice reflect the effectivity, efficiency and
fairness in the administration and enforcement of laws.
This chapter presents regional/provincial/city data on crimes and number of

policemen and firemen, fire incidences, including deaths and property damages, law
enforcement cases handled, and legal assistance extended. The sources of data are
Philippine National Police (PNP) for crimes and law enforcers; Bureau of Fire Protection
(BFP) for fire incidences; and Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) for cases handled and
legal assistance services.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
S cience and Technology (S&T) showcases the Filipino as creator and

innovator. Science unfolds latest ideas, translates them into theories, and develops
them into practical uses and applications called technology. S&T ensures the creation,
development, and production of new, diversified, competitive, and high-value added
inventions that become commodities of importance in the country’s economic life. The
government envisions a proactive role of S&T in the country’s development efforts and in
uplifting the lives of Filipinos. It seeks S&Ts contribution in strengthening and maximizing
the use of the country’s technological capabilities to enable development.
Statistics regarding technologies are valuable in monitoring and determining our
capacities and abilities of adopting them. Data on the number of people supported by the
government to pursue degrees in science and technology show this institution’s efforts in
encouraging people to engage in these fields. Further, the figures on the government’s
technology dissemination activities show its response to the country’s development
strategy of using S&T.
The sources of data on this sector are the Visayas Consortium for Agriculture and
Resources Program (ViCARP), Department of Science and Technology (DOST),
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and National Computer
Center (NCC).
Highlights
 The number of DOST undergraduate scholars increased by 7.3 percent,
from 654 scholars in AY 2015-2016 to 702 in AY 2016-2017. Among provinces,
Northern Samar accounted for the biggest number of scholars at 262.
 Total expenditures of DOST VIII significantly increased by 97.2 percent, from

P103.7 million in 2016 to P204.5 million in 2017. More than half or 60.3 percent of
the total expenditures in 2017 were spent for technology transfer.
 The number of TESDA graduates in IT-related diploma, short term and specialized
courses drastically dropped by 53.7 percent, from 6,859 graduates in 2016 to
3,173 in 2017. Community-Based (Rural Development) graduates posted the
biggest decline of 77.8 percent, from 5,204 graduates in 2016 to 1,154 in 2017.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
POPULATION AND HOUSING
Age Dependency Ratio1 - is the ratio of persons in the “dependent” ages (generally under age 15 and
over age 64) to those in the “economically productive” ages (15-64 years) in the population. It is
sometimes divided into the old-age dependency (the ratio of people aged 65 and older to those aged
15-64 years) and the child dependency (ratio of people under 15 to those aged 15-64 years)
Child Development Index - is a composite index, which measures the average achievement in the
three basic dimensions captured in the human development index (HDI), (i.e., a long and healthy life,
knowledge, and a decent standard of living), but specific to children.
Emigrants – refer to Filipino migrants and legal permanent residents abroad; include Filipinos who
are Filipino citizens, who are Philippine passport holders, or who have been naturalized citizens in
the host country; also include Filipino or Filipina spouses who have married foreign partners and
have settled overseas. (Institute for Migration and Development Issues)
Gender Development Index2 (GDI) – a composite index measuring average achievement in three
basic dimensions captured in the human development index (i.e., a long and healthy life, knowledge,
and a decent standard of living) , adjusted to account for inequalities between women and men. It is
measured by taking the average of the same components as HDI but adjusted for gender disparities.
Gender Disparity Index2 (GeDI) – a measure to illustrate whether overall human development is
being shared equitably by women and men. Gender disparity = 0 means women and men have
equality in human development. Gender disparity > 0 means there is disparity in the development
of women and men.
Gender Education Index2 (GEI) – an index which measures gender disparity in the quality of life in
terms of access to education. It is measured through the functional literacy rate and combined net
enrolment rate as indicators.
Gender Equality Ratio2 (GER) – a measure indicating whether women and men have more
advantage in terms of development. A ratio greater than 1 indicates higher development of women
over men.
Gender Health Index2 (GHI) – an index which measures gender disparity in the quality of life in
terms of longevity and health life.
Gender Income Index2 (GII) – an index which measures gender disparity in the quality of life in
terms of income.
Household1 - a social unit consisting of a person living alone or a group of persons who sleep in the
same housing unit and have a common arrangement in the preparation and consumption of food.
Housing Unit - a structurally separate and independent place of abode which, by the way it has been
constructed, converted or arranged is intended for habitation by one household. Structures or parts of
structures which are not intended for habitation such as commercial, industrial, and cultural
buildings or natural and man-made shelters such as caves, boats, abandoned trucks, culverts, and
others, but which are used as living quarters by households.
Human Development Index1 - a measure of how well a country has performed, not only in terms of
real income growth, but also in terms of social indicators of people’s ability to lead a long and healthy
life, to acquire knowledge and skills, and to have access to the resources needed to afford a decent
standard of living.
Appendix - 2
Life Expectancy1 – represents the average number of years remaining to a person who survives to the
beginning of a given age or age interval x.
Medium Assumption - moderate fertility decline and moderate mortality decline
Migration1 - the movement of people across a specific boundary for the purpose of establishing a new
or semi-permanent residence. Two distinct types are international migration (migration between
countries) and internal migration (migration within a country).
Population1 - total number of individuals in a territory at a specified time. It covers both nationals
and aliens, native and foreign-born persons, internees, refugees and any other group physically
present within the borders of a country at a specified time. In assembling national demographic
statistics for publication, the basic aim has been to obtain data for the physically present (or “de
facto”) population rather than for the legally established resident (or “de jure”) inhabitants.
Population Density1 - refers to the number of persons per unit of land area (usually in square
kilometers). This measure is more meaningful if given as population per unit of arable land.
Population Growth Rate1 – indicates how fast a population increases or decreases as a result of the
interplay of births, deaths, and migration during a given period of time. Where the population is
closed, meaning no migration, the population growth rate is the same as the rate of natural increase,
i.e., the difference between the number of births and the number of deaths during a specified period
of time. The three methods for computing the rate of growth based on the assumption with respect to
the change are: arithmetic change, geometric change and exponential change.
Population Projections1 - computation of future changes in population numbers, given certain

assumptions about future trends in the rates of fertility, mortality and migration. Demographers often
publish high, medium, and low projections of the same population based on different assumptions of
how these rates will change in the future.
Sex Ratio1 - the number of males per 100 females in a population.
INCOME AND PRICES
Basic Sectors (as defined in RA 8425 or The Social Reform and Poverty Alleviation Act) refer to the

and services commonly purchased by households relative to a base year.
Family – is a group of persons usually living together and composed of the head and other persons
related to the head by blood, marriage and adoption. A single person living alone is considered a

personal consumption during the reference period. They exclude all expenses in relation to farm or
business operations, investment ventures, purchase of real property and other disbursements which
do not involve personal consumption. Gifts, support assistance or relief in goods and services
received by the family from friends, relatives, etc. and consumed during the reference period are
included in the family expenditures. Value consumed from net share of crops, fruits and vegetables
produced or livestock raised by other households, family sustenance and entrepreneurial activities
are also considered as family expenditures.

basic food needs, which satisfies the nutritional requirements for economically necessary and socially
desirable physical activities.
Gini Ratio3 - the ratio of the area between the Lorenz curve and the diagonal (the line of perfect
equality) to the area below the diagonal.
Notes: It is a measure of the extent to which the distribution of income/expenditure among

families/individuals deviates from a perfectly equal distribution, with limits 0 for perfect
equality and 1 for perfect inequality.

than the per capita poverty threshold to the total number of families/individuals.
Poverty Threshold3 – the minimum income/expenditure required for a family/individual to meet

the basic food and non-food requirements.
Notes: Basic food requirements are currently based on 100% adequacy for the Recommended
Energy and Nutrient Intake (RENI) for protein and energy equivalent to an average of 2000
kilocalories per capita, and 80% adequacy for other nutrients. On the other hand, basic non-
food requirements, indirectly estimated by obtaining the ratio of food to total basic

Purchasing Power of the Peso1 - a measure of the real value of the peso in a given period relative to a
chosen reference period. It is computed by getting the reciprocal of the CPI and multiplying the
result by 100.
Severity of Poverty3 – the total of the squared income/expenditure shortfall (expressed in proportion
to the poverty threshold) of families/individuals with income/expenditure below the poverty
threshold, divided by the total number of families/individuals.
Notes: This is equal to the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) family of measures with alpha = 2.
It is a poverty measure, which is sensitive to the income/expenditure distribution among the
poor – the worse this distribution is, the more severe poverty is.
