percent and contribution to GDP growth is 2 percent. GRDP growth fell from 7.7
percent in 2011- 2012 to only 4.1 percent in 2012-2013. It managed to bounce

2014-2015, making Western Visayas the second best-performing region in the
country for that year. The impressive overall economic performance of the region
in recent years was largely contributed by the industry and services sectors.
