FOREWORD

This report features the 2012 municipal and city level poverty estimates in the country as part of the

output of the Project on the Generation of the 2012 Small Area Estimates of Poverty, which is a

government-funded project implemented by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). It is a follow-up

study to the earlier projects of the former National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB, now part of

the PSA) on Poverty Mapping in the Philippines Project, the Intercensal Updating of Small Area

Poverty Estimates Project, and the Project on the Generation of 2006 and 2009 Small Area Estimates

of Poverty. These earlier projects were funded through the World Bank (WB) - Asia Europe Meeting

Trust Fund, WB Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building, Australian Agency for International

Development (AusAID) and the Philippine Government. These projects generated municipal and city

level poverty estimates for 2000, 2003, and 2006 and 2009 respectively, using small area estimation

(SAE) technique.

Similar to the earlier projects, the SAE technique used is the Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw (ELL), a

method developed by the WB wherein the survey and census data conducted on the same year are

combined to produce reliable poverty estimates at lower levels of geographic disaggregation. As in

the previous projects, the ELL method was modified to come up with estimates even during

intercensal years.

We would like to express our deepest appreciation to our Project Technical Resource Person, Dr. Zita

VJ. Albacea of the Philippine Statistical Research and Training Institute (PSRTI) for her valuable

guidance and assistance and to our Project’s Technical Adviser, Dr. Romulo A. Virola, for his

significant recommendations and active participation in the Project activities. We acknowledge their

untiring efforts in helping us with this Project, which will hopefully contribute to the improvement of the

Philippine Statistical System (PSS).

This report also highlights the validation exercises and consultations done with the local government

units, and provides the actual policy uses of the small area poverty estimates in the Philippines

emphasizing the relevance of the project outputs to national and local policymaking. More specifically,

the municipal and city level poverty estimates were used by several national and local government

agencies in their policymaking and program planning, e.g., the Department of Social Welfare and

Development’s (DSWD) use of the SAE of poverty as basis for the identification of areas for the Kapit-

Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan- Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-

CIDSS), the Pantawid Pamilya Program and the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP). It is hoped

that the results of this project will further help local communities, policymakers and program

implementers in the formulation of appropriate programs and improvements in targeting schemes

aimed at reducing poverty.

I. Introduction

Poverty reduction remains the overarching goal of the Philippine government. The main

vision of the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2011-2016 is to achieve rapid,

sustainable and inclusive growth that will generate employment opportunities and reduce

poverty. The PDP 2011-2016 Midterm Update further recognized the need for fine-

tuning strategies on poverty reduction to unleash the potential of all sectors in the areas

and communities where the poorest and most vulnerable are found. This is also in

consonance with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and its successor, the

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which embodies specific targets and milestones

in eliminating extreme poverty worldwide. While MDG 1 aims to halve the poverty rate in

2015 from its baseline rate in 1990, the SDG 1 envisions eradicating extreme poverty for

all people everywhere by 2030. Recognizing that poverty reduction is a long-term

program that requires uninterrupted growth over a reasonable length of time, the

generation of more frequent, timely and relevant national and sub-national poverty

statistics are deemed critical inputs to achieve this objective.

Official poverty statistics in the country are generated by the former National Statistical

Coordination Board (NSCB), now part of the Philippine Statistics Authority1 (PSA), in

accordance with Executive Order (EO) No. 352, Designation of Statistical Activities that

will Generate Critical Data for Decision-making of the Government and Private Sector.

The official poverty estimation methodology is developed by the Technical Committee on

Poverty Statistics, which has a multi-sectoral representation consisting of noted experts

in poverty measurement coming from the academe, producers and users of poverty

statistics from both government and non-government organizations. Official poverty

statistics released by the PSA include national, regional and provincial poverty estimates

directly estimated from the triennial Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES).

Further, starting 2013, national poverty estimates are also generated using the results of

the Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS), which is conducted in years when the FIES

is not conducted. These poverty estimates are defined and estimated in line with

Republic Act (RA) 8425, the Social Reform and Poverty Alleviation Act, which refers to

1 The Philippine Statistics Authority was established on 12 September 2013 by virtue of Republic Act 10625,

otherwise known as the “Philippine Statistical Act of 2013”, which merged the major statistical agencies engaged in primary data collection and compilation of secondary data, namely: National Statistics Office (NSO); National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB); Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS); and Bureau of Labor and Employment Statistics (BLES).

the poor as those families and individuals whose income fall below the poverty threshold

and who cannot afford to provide for their minimum basic needs in a sustained manner.

The increasing clamour for lower disaggregation of poverty statistics for better targeted

poverty reduction programs has been recognized by the former NSCB as it embarked on

a Poverty Mapping Project with funding assistance from the World Bank Asia Europe

Meeting (ASEM) Trust Fund in 2004. This Project made possible the release of 2000

poverty estimates for all the 1,622 municipalities and cities in the country through small

area estimation in 2005. Small area estimation is a statistical methodology that allows

the estimation at lower levels of disaggregation by combining information collected from

a survey with data from other sources such as the census. A variant of this methodology,

called the Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw (ELL) Method, was applied in the Project using

the 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH), 4th Round of the 2000 Labor Force

Survey (LFS) and 2000 FIES.

Recognizing the need to update these 2000 municipal and city level poverty estimates,

the former NSCB implemented the “Intercensal Updating of Small Area Poverty

Estimates Project” in 2006 through the World Bank Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity

Building (WB TFSCB). The study aimed to explore the possibility of generating reliable

2003 municipal and city level poverty estimates using a slight modification of the ELL

Methodology used in the earlier Project, but still using 2000 census data. The results of

these projects were utilized in a number of projects by the government and private

sector, including the identification of municipalities where household information for the

National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTSPR) of the

Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will be collected. The NHTS-

PR serves as the DSWD guide in the identification and updating of their beneficiaries for

the flagship program of the government, called the Pantawid Pamilya Program.

The continuing demand for updated municipal and city level poverty estimates as well as

trend analysis on local level poverty estimates were further addressed by the former

NSCB, with funding assistance from Australian Government, WB and the national

government, by undertaking the project on the generation of the 2006 and 2009

municipal and city level poverty estimates. Furthermore, in 2014, the national

government recognized the need for sustainability and regular updating of these

estimates as it solely funded the project on the generation of the 2012 municipal and city

level poverty estimates. It is hoped that the results of this Project, like the earlier

Page 10: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 3

initiatives of the former NSCB, will be a useful guide to local government units, policy

makers and program implementers in formulating/designing intervention programs aimed

at reducing poverty.

The clamour for sustaining the efforts for the generation of lower level disaggregation of

poverty statistics was recognized by the Philippine Statistical System. The Philippine

Statistical Development Program (PSDP) 2011-2017 and the Updated PSDP 2011-2017,

similar to the PSDP 2005-2010, reflected statistical programs and activities related to

SAE of poverty, i.e., regular generation of poverty statistics at the municipal and city

levels and improvement of the estimation methodology on city and municipal level

poverty statistics towards the adoption of an official methodology.

Sub-national statistics like the municipal and city level estimates were commonly

obtained using a model-based approach. Hence, the estimates from this approach are

based on certain assumptions which play vital role in the limitation of its use. Like other

estimates, these are presented with their measures of precision and reliability,

specifically their standard error and coefficient of variation. This is done to caution users

that this set of estimates is just one of the many possible estimates that could be

obtained and as these are not exact values but rather, most likely values. These

estimates are very useful in targeting the poor localities, especially if the estimates are

with small standard error and coefficient of variation.

Recognizing that some of the estimated poverty incidence of municipalities may have

overlapping confidence intervals with other municipalities, hence, it may not be accurate

to rank the cities and municipalities, , the estimates were grouped instead so that the

municipalities and cities within a group are more likely to have the same level of poverty

status. There are five groups identified which are referred to as (1) Level 1; (2) Level 2;

(3) Level 3; (4) Level 4; and (5) Level 5. It is deemed that those in Level 1 is the group of

municipalities and cities with low poverty estimates having estimated poverty incidence

of at most 20%. Those in Level 2 are municipalities and cities with estimated poverty

incidence greater than 20% but at most 40%. Level 3 are municipalities and cities with

poverty incidence greater than 40% but at most 60%; while Level 4 are municipalities

and cities with poverty incidence greater than 60% but at most 80%. The municipalities

and cities which need help the most, are those in Level 5 with poverty incidence greater

than 80%.

Page 11: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 4

Knowing to which group a specific municipality or city belongs is useful for national

planners in targeting the rightful beneficiaries of a poverty alleviation program. On the

other hand, local chief executives of the country’s municipalities and cities will have the

useful information describing poverty in their localities based on these estimates. In

terms of monitoring the performance of a municipality or city, its membership to a group

could be observed if there is a change in the grouping to where the municipality or city

belongs. A shift in the group where a municipality or city belongs, from a higher to lower

group in terms of poverty incidence, signals that the municipality or a city has improved

its poverty status. Such information on poverty dynamics is useful for both the national

and local executives in monitoring the performance of a municipality or city in relation to

their poverty alleviation programs or initiatives.

Grouping, instead of ranking of the estimates was prescribed to consider municipality or

city with overlapping poverty estimates. This is the same practice observed in releasing

the official provincial poverty statistics wherein the PSA does not encourage ranking of

provinces based on point estimate of the poverty incidence and instead releases the

provinces by clusters based on the confidence intervals of the poverty incidence. It is

deemed that while the rank of the estimates could be used in monitoring the

performance of a municipality or city relative to others, it should be emphasized that the

observed difference might not be statistically significant . Likewise, there could be

observed changes in the estimates across time but those changes may not be declared

statistically significant. In such cases, it could be said that the change is not large

enough to indicate a significant difference based on the random sample used in the

estimation. Thus data users need to be aware of these technical matters in interpreting

data.

Also, it should be noted that municipal and city level poverty estimates are income-based

indicators. It is encouraged that other non-monetary based poverty related indicators be

also utilized in assessing the poverty situation in a locality. But in general, when used

appropriately, these small area estimates may serve as useful information in targeting

and monitoring the poor municipalities and cities in the country.

In addition to this Report, user-friendly information materials highlighting the results in

each region of the country will be made available.

II. Highlights of the 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates

The distribution of the 1,633 municipality and city level estimates of poverty incidence

among population in 2012 is presented in the following table and figure. On the average,

about 33.4% of municipalities and cities are classified in Level 1 or those with poverty

incidences of at most 20%. For Level 2, with poverty incidences between 20% and 40%,

about 38.9% of municipalities and cities are classified in this group. For Levels 3 and 4,

with poverty incidences between 40% and 60% and between 60% and 80%, about

21.4% and 6.1% of municipalities and cities belong to these groups, respectively. On the

extreme end of distribution, which is Level 5 consisting of municipalities and cities with

poverty incidences greater than 80%, about 0.3% or five municipalities are classified in

this group. The municipalities which belong to Level 5 are found in the Autonomous

Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM); two of which (Datu Saudi-Ampatuan and Talayan)

are in the Province of Maguindanao and the other three (Bacolod-kalawi, Lumbayanaque

and Piagapo) are in the Province of Lanao del Sur. It may be noted that on the average,

eight out of every 10 residents of any of these five municipalities are considered poor. In

2012, the municipality with the highest poverty incidence among population is the

Municipality of Bacolod-Kalawi in the Province of Lanao del Sur with poverty incidence of

84.8%. This is a reliable estimate since the estimate’s coefficient of variation is only

6.7%.

The area graph in Figure 1 shows that one-third of all the municipalities and cities in the

country are in Level 1. In terms of count, this means that there are 545 municipalities and

cities categorized in the Level 1.

For year 2009, the distribution of the poverty incidence estimates for the 1,634

municipalities and cities is presented in Table 2 and Figure 2. On the average, about

25.6% of municipalities and cities are classified in Level 1 or those with poverty

incidences of at most 20%. For Level 2, with poverty incidences between 20% and 40%,

about 38.4% of municipalities and cities are classified in this group. For Levels 3 and 4,

with poverty incidences between 40% and 60% and between 60% and 80%, about

32.1% and 3.9% of municipalities and cities belong to these groups, respectively. It is

worth noting that there was no municipality or city that was classified in Level 5. The

poorest municipality in 2009, which is the Municipality of Siayan in the Province of

Zamboanga del Norte, has a poverty incidence estimate of 79.9% with coefficient of

variation of 5.63%. This classified the municipality in Level 4.

*Cumulative relative frequency

For the year 2006, the distribution of the 1,628 municipality or city level estimates of

poverty incidence among population is presented Table 3 and Figure 3. On the average,

about 21.9% of municipalities and cities are classified in Level 1 or those with poverty

incidences of at most 20%. For Level 2, with poverty incidences between 20% and 40%,

about 44.0% of municipalities and cities are classified in this group. For Levels 3 and 4,

with poverty incidences between 40% and 60% and between 60% and 80%, about

29.7% and 4.3% of municipalities and cities belong to these groups, respectively. Similar

in 2009, there were no municipalities or cities that were classified in Level 5. The bulk of

the estimates are within the range of 21% to 60% which classified most of the

Page 14: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 7

municipalities and cities in either Levels 2 or 3. There was a total of 1,201 municipalities

and cities in these two levels. The municipality with the highest poverty incidence among

population is the Municipality of San Andres in the Province of Quezon with poverty

incidence of 78%. This is a reliable estimate since the estimate’s coefficient of variation

is only 8.17%. With this measure of poverty incidence, the Municipality of San Andres is

classified in Level 4.

Figure 3. Area graph of the distribution of the 2006 municipal and city level poverty incidence estimates by poverty classification.

Comparing graphically the distributions of the estimates across the years from 2006 to

2012 (see figure below) indicates that there is a trend for the shapes to shift to the left

which means having more municipalities and cities on the lower level of poverty in 2012

compared to 2006 and 2009. The percentage of municipalities classified in Level 5

remains zero for two years. Also, there is an increase in the percentage of least poor

municipalities and cities or those in Level 1 from 2006 to 2012. However, a decrease in

the percentage of municipalities and cities in Level 2 from 2006 to 2009 and 2012 was

observed.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 8

The poverty map at the municipal and city level estimates by levels also illustrate the

same observations as presented in the graphs shown above. (Please refer to page 15

for the poverty maps as Figure 5.) The municipalities and cities clustered on this

classification and are represented by the same color indicate similarities in the groupings

across the years. It could be noticed that there are more green-shaded areas in Luzon

for the year 2012 compared to the other two years. This indicates that the poverty

incidences in the municipalities and cities in Luzon are declining which supports the

observation of having more municipalities and cities classified in Level 1. Although there

is still a municipality in CAR that is shaded orange indicating its classification as Level 4.

In the case of Visayas, there are less yellow shaded areas in the year 2012 and

additional green-shaded areas could be observed indicating that the poverty condition of

the municipalities and cities in the Visayas are improving. Orange-shaded municipalities

are sparsely found in the Visayas area and specifically they are found in Region VIII.

However, there are more orange-shaded regions or those in Level 4 that are found in the

Mindanao area. This indicates that the poverty incidences of the municipalities in

Mindanao are increasing showing that the condition of the people in Mindanao is

worsening through time. Also, it is only in 2012 where there are municipalities which are

in red-shaded areas and are classified in Level 5.

The 40 poorest municipalities in the year 2012 have estimated poverty incidences from

69.8 to 84.8 with an average of 75.03 which means that 75 people for every 100

residents of these municipalities are said to be in poverty. Five of these 40 municipalities

are in Level 5 while the rest are in Level 4. In terms of geographical location, Table 4

shows that majority of them are found in ARMM and specifically from the Provinces of

Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao. Out of the six regions where these forty poorest

municipalities could be found, four of them are found in Mindanao area, there is one

region each for Luzon and Visayas. Also, only two of these 40 poorest municipalities are

found in provinces outside Mindanao. Thus, the poorest municipalities are mostly found

in Mindanao. All the estimates for these forty municipalities are with coefficients of

variation at most 15%. Hence, the estimates are with acceptable measures of reliability.

Focusing on the five municipalities classified under Level 5, the poorest level, Table 5

shows the poverty incidence estimates of these municipalities in years 2006 and 2009.

Note that their poverty conditions in years 2006 and 2009 are not severe and they were

classified in lower poverty levels. However, the estimates in 2006 have to be used with

caution as three of the estimates have coefficients of variation greater than 20%. (The

estimates are marked with *). Comparing only the estimates in 2009 and 2012, there are

significant increases in poverty incidences of these five municipalities resulting to a jump

in poverty level from Level 2 or 3 to Level 5. This observation indicates that indeed the

conditions of these five municipalities deteriorated in 2012.

III. Actual Policy Uses of the 2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates

In the past releases of the municipal and city level poverty estimates, various government

agencies have demonstrated actual policy uses of these estimates. Given the relevance and

importance of these estimates for targeting beneficiaries of programs/projects, policy

formulation and planning, and poverty monitoring, the PSA responds to the need for more

updated poverty statistics. The updated municipal and city level poverty estimates for 2006,

2009 and 2012 have likewise exhibited actual policy uses.

A list of the actual policy uses of the 2006, 2009 and 2012 municipal and city level poverty

estimates has been compiled below to serve as reference for other policy- and decision-

makers, and program implementers.

A. Policy Formulation, Planning and Monitoring

1. The 2012 SAE of poverty was used by the Municipality of Nabas in Aklan in the

development of municipal economic profile and local planning in the area. The poverty

estimates served as basis for formulating poverty reduction program in the area.

2. The Provincial Government of Negros Occidental used the SAE of Poverty for the

development of provincial economic profile. The poverty estimates served as basis for

local planning on poverty reduction in the area.

3. The Provincial Government of Pangasinan used the 2006, 2009 and 2012 small area

estimates of poverty in the assessment of the progress of municipalities in their

implementation of poverty reduction programs. The SAE estimates were also included

in their provincial socio-economic profile.

4. The La Union Provincial Government used the 2006, 2009 and 2012 estimates in the

assessment of the progress of municipalities in their implementation of poverty

reduction programs. The PSA RSSO I has also been requested to present the

estimates during the La Union Anti-Poverty Summit (Poverty Diagnostic and Anti-

Poverty Program Tagging Planning Workshop). The objective of the summit is to

identify the causative factors behind the poverty situation in the province as basis for

the formulation of a more focused 5-Year Anti-Poverty Plan.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 12

5. The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Regional Office I used the

2006, 2009 and 2012 estimates as inputs of the Regional Development Council in the

annual selection of the Best LGU Poverty Program Implementer at the municipal level.

6. The NEDA/Regional Development Council in CAR used SAE in preparing the profile

and situationer of the BLISTT areas (Baguio, La Trinidad, Itogon, Sablan, Tuba and

Tublay) during the BLISTT master planning activity. In the presentation and analysis of

the region's poverty and macro-economy situationer, the SAE is used in identifying

areas needing poverty reduction programs.

B. Targeting Beneficiaries of Programs/Projects

1. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in Western Visayas used

the SAE results for the Phase II of the Pantawid Pamilyang Piipino Program (4P’s) in

Western Visayas.

2. DSWD-CAR used the SAE as a guide for the 2nd round of the National Household

Targeting System (NHTS) operations. When DSWD researchers were also tasked to

prepare the provincial Social Protection Development Report (SPDR), the SAE of

poverty statistics were suggested to be included in the list of criteria in lieu of the

regional poverty data in order to come up with a better picture of "poverty" in the

locality and for better risk and vulnerability assessment.

3. The Department of Agriculture (DA) used the SAE in the Panay Island Sustainable

Agricultural Upland Development Project. The poverty estimates shall serve as basis

to determine recipients of the projects to be undertaken in 2016 to 2020 in the pilot

communities in the Municipalities of Alimodian in Iloilo, Tapaz and Jamindan in Capiz,

Libacao in Aklan and Patnongon in Antique. The project addresses the upland

communities’ need for nutritious and healthy food by building the capability of people in

implementing upland agricultural and forest development programs.

4. The DA also used the SAE for determining top priority LGUs in Region VI as recipients

of the Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP) funded by World Bank in

partnership with the LGUs and the private sector. It is a six-year (6) project designed to

establish the government platform for a modern, climate-smart and market-oriented

agri-fishery sector.

5. The 2009 SAE data was also used in the World Food Program of the UN in

collaboration with DSWD in identifying beneficiaries among affected families of

typhoon Yolanda in Western Visayas.

IV. Conclusions and Recommendations:

A. Technical

1. Using the modified ELL methodology, poverty statistics were generated for all

municipalities in the country where 1,425 out of 1,633 (87.3%) city and municipal level

estimates for 2012 are with acceptable measure of reliability or have coefficient of

variation (CV) not greater than 20 percent. Thus, the possibility of generating municipal

and city level statistics was again shown to hold true.

2. In addition to survey and census data, the following information were initially

considered in the pool of possible predictors:

a. Presence or absence of airport in the province;

b. Presence or absence of malls (i.e., Shoemart, Gaisano, Ayala and Robinson’s) in

the municipality;

c. Presence or absence of Jollibee in the municipality;

d. Percent of households with unpaid family worker in the barangay; and

e. Average number of unpaid family worker.

However, none of these indicators entered the final model of the regions. There may

be a need to reconstruct these variables, e.g. number of Jollibee stores instead of

presence or absence in the municipality. Or one can explore other variables that may

have significant association with income, such as migration and tourism-related

variables.

3. It may be noted that the adjusted R-square provides the information on how much of

the variation is explained by the model taking into consideration the number of

variables. Hence, we would want a high adjusted R-square. However, it may be

observed from the table below that the adjusted R-square for some of the regions were

relatively low, e.g., 33.4 for the National Capital Region (NCR). These were based on

the model derived upon the adoption of the Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw (ELL)

Methodology, which made use of the multiple linear regression analysis. In view of

this, the use of alternative forms of the model, e.g., assuming a Poisson distribution in

estimating income may be explored to further improve the models and ultimately the

Page 22: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 15

estimates, particularly for regions with relatively very low or very high poverty

incidence.

B. For the PSA and the PSS

1. Cognizant of the importance of small area estimates of poverty for policymaking and

targeting, it is important that conduct of exercises and discussion towards the adoption of

an official methodology for estimating municipal and city level poverty estimates be

undertaken soon. And this is where the Technical Committee on Poverty Statistics (TC

PovStat) and the members of the PSA Board can play crucial parts, particularly in

providing valuable inputs, reviewing and approving the methodology for adoption and

implementation.

2. Also, it is crucial that statistical capacity building among the producers, users and the

providers of statistics be continuously done to ensure that these poverty statistics

remains to be relevant and serve as useful input to evidence-based decision-making at

the national and local government units, as well as, the private sector.

Page 23: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 16

3. Strong manpower and financial support would ensure regular updating of the estimates

and maximized use of these poverty statistics and resources.

4. More subnational dissemination fora on the small area estimates of poverty should be

conducted using user-friendly communication tools such as infographics.

5. The generation of regional versions of the national report on the SAE of poverty should

be institutionalized.

6. Small area estimation techniques should be used to generate lower level disaggregation

of other key indicators produced in the Philippine Statistical System.

7. Validation of city and municipal poverty estimates should have been conducted in areas

with large deterioration of poverty in order to personally assess the poverty condition on

the ground. For instance, the poverty deterioration from 2009 to 2012 for the 5 poorest

municipalities in the country, which are located in ARMM, should have been validated.

8. While a number of local government units have already made use of the SAE of poverty

estimates in local policymaking and program planning, there are still areas which have

not demonstrated actual policy uses of the SAE. Hence, it is recommended that future

dissemination fora be conducted in these regions.

A. Definition of Terms

1. Poor – Based on Republic Act 8425, otherwise known as Social Reform and Poverty

Alleviation Act, dated 11 December 1997, the poor refers to individuals and families

whose income fall below the poverty threshold as defined by the government and/or

those that cannot afford in a sustained manner to provide their basic needs of food,

health, education, housing and other amenities of life. It may be estimated in terms of

percentages (poverty incidence) and total number of poor families (magnitude of poor

families).

2. Poverty Threshold - the minimum income/expenditure required for a family/individual

to meet the basic food and non-food requirements. 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 are indirectly estimated by obtaining the ratio of food to total basic

expenditures from a reference group of families, to cover expenditure on: 1) clothing

and footwear; 2) housing; 3) fuel, light, water; 4) maintenance and minor repairs; 5)

rental of occupied dwelling units; 6) medical care; 7) education; 8) transportation and

communication; 9) non-durable furnishings; 10) household operations; and 11)

personal care & effects. Mathematically, poverty threshold is computed as:

Food Expenditure is actual food expenditure of families within the +/- ten percentile of

the food threshold while Total Basic Expenditure is total expenditures of families within

the +/- ten percentile of the food threshold.

3. Poverty Incidence - the proportion of families/individuals with per capita

income/expenditure less than the per capita poverty threshold to the total number of

families/individuals. Poverty incidence (usually expressed in percent) is estimated as

ratio of the number of families/individuals with per capita annual income/expenditure

less than the per capita poverty threshold to the total number of families/individuals.

Page 27: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 20

4. Standard Error (SE) – a measure of the precision of the estimate. SE is inversely

proportional to the sample size, that is, the larger the sample size, the smaller the

standard error.

5. Coefficient of Variation (CV) – a measure of the reliability of an estimate. CV (usually

expressed in percent) is estimated as the ratio of the standard deviation/error relative

to the mean. Smaller CV of an estimate reflects smaller variability between repeated

measures and thus, indicates a more reliable or consistent measurement.

6. Confidence Interval (CI) – a range of values that describes the uncertainty

surrounding an estimate. The CI provides an interval estimate of the true mean, i.e.,

the true value of the parameter will fall within the range. The CI is computed using the

sample mean and standard error; the wider the interval, the more caution is required

when using the estimated sample mean.

B. Methodology

This section presents a general description on small area estimation following the Elbers,

Lanjouw and Lanjouw (ELL) methodology implemented in the Philippines for the intercensal

year 2012 using the PovMap software. As the methodology used in this updating is similar

to the previous poverty mapping project undertaken by the former NSCB, up to a certain

extent, some parts of this section are lifted directly from the previous Estimation of Local

Poverty in the Philippines report.

1. Background

In this study, the main consideration is to identify local areas that need to be prioritized in

poverty alleviation programs. These areas, which have uncontained pockets of poverty, are

often sought through the use of nationwide survey data that provide information on poverty

indicators. These surveys usually have a great deal of information, such as income and

expenditure, but have limited sample size that can only provide reliable estimates at larger

geographic disaggregation such as regions, but not at smaller geographic level such as

provinces or municipalities or cities. The census, on the other hand, has complete coverage

and therefore can produce statistics at smaller geographic levels. However, the census

Page 28: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 21

usually has limited information and does not contain data on income and expenditure, which

are the variables usually needed as inputs in poverty estimation.

A solution to this problem is the use of small area estimation (SAE) technique. There are

numerous SAE techniques that can actually be used to generate statistics at the local area.

One of these techniques is a methodology developed by Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw

(ELL). Such methodology requires the use of census and survey data sets conducted on the

same year. For the case of the Philippines, the use of ELL for poverty estimation started in

the year 2000. Consequently, a Poverty Mapping Project implemented by the former NSCB

in 2005 with funding assistance from the World Bank, used the ELL method to generate the

municipal and city level poverty statistics for 2000. The project made use of the survey and

census data sets that were all gathered in the same year, 2000, as required in the

methodology. More so, the methodology in the project made use of a single regression

model2 for the whole country to predict the family income per capita in logarithmic form.

An update of the 2000 municipal and city level poverty estimates was again generated by

the former NSCB with funding assistance from the WB. This time, however, the

methodology is slightly different from the previous project since municipal and city level

poverty estimates were generated for 2003, a year when there was no census and only a

nationwide survey was conducted, which is the usual source of poverty statistics. Thus, in

updating the small area poverty estimates from the census year 2000 to the intercensal year

2003, a slightly different approach was used.

The information from the 2003 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), 2004 January

Labor Force Survey (LFS) and 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) were

combined to estimate poverty incidence at the municipal and city levels. Statistical

regression is again used to predict per capita family income, expressed in natural

logarithmic form Y, using explanatory variables, which are denoted as Xi’s.

Similar with the 2000 poverty mapping project, X can be classified into two types: the

survey-obtainable variables, at the household or individual level (e.g., educational

attainment of household head); and the census-derivable location variables, which

correspond to barangay or municipal means (e.g. average family size in the barangay). It is

2 Regression is a statistical tool used to predict one variable using other variables/information. For example, one can predict a salesperson’s total yearly sales using information on age, education and years of experience of the sales person.

Page 29: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 22

important that the X’s used in modelling should be comparable both in the survey and the

census. In general, comparability means that X has the same definition in both survey and

census.

However, in the 2000 poverty mapping project, comparability assessment was more

straightforward because the data sets used (i.e., FIES, LFS and CPH) have the same

reference period: the year 2000. Selection of survey-obtainable variables was done by

examining the survey and census questionnaires to identify which questions elicit equivalent

information. In several cases, equivalence was achieved by collapsing some categories of

answers. When common variables had been identified, the appropriate summary statistics

were compared for the survey and the census data.

It is ideal that the summary statistics for the census data be within the confidence interval for

the survey. Comparability assessment is not required for the case of location-effect variables

because these are essentially sourced from the census, which were only merged with the

survey; and as long as the geographic configurations between survey and census are the

same, this will be consistent.

Assessing comparability in the case of updating small area poverty statistics for non-census

years, however, requires more attention. It should be noted that the survey data were

conducted in 2003 while census data were obtained in 2000, and the goal is to come up with

2003 poverty statistics at the small area level. Hence, there is a time component that should

be taken into consideration. Using the same methodology as in the 2000 poverty mapping

project will result to ambiguity since such procedure captures relationship between Y and X,

through regression modelling using 2003 survey information but fitting the model using 2000

census data, which is of a different reference period.

This was the same concern in the generation of 2006 and 2009 municipal and city level

poverty estimates, which used the 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) and 2007

Population Census, respectively, since 2006 and 2009 are non-census years like 2003.

Furthermore in this project, as 2012 is again not a census year, the same technique was

implemented, this time using the 2010 CPH data. To remedy this problem, a solution is to

use or redefine variables so that the X’s will not be affected by time. Hence, in the 2003,

2006, 2009 and 2012 SAE on poverty, variables that were utilized were limited to those that

were considered to be time invariant variables.

Page 30: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 23

For reference years 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2012, different SAE of poverty regression models

were developed. However, it should be noted that the same ELL methodology was

implemented across the reference years to generate small area poverty estimates. The

models may be different but the methodology utilized is the same. Using the standard errors

generated, one can compare the estimates. However, it must be noted that in 2011,

refinements in the computation of the poverty threshold was adopted and back estimates

were only generated and utilized in the project starting with the 2006 SAE on poverty.

Hence, the poverty statistics series for municipalities and cities that are considered

comparable are for 2006, 2009 and 2012.

2. Data Sources

In the generation of the 2012 municipal and city level poverty estimates in the Philippines

using the modified ELL methodology, the following data sets were used:

2012 Official Provincial Poverty Thresholds (disaggregated by urban and rural areas).

These were generated by the former NSCB for each of the provinces, urban and rural areas,

based on the methodology per NSCB Resolution No. 9, Series of 2011 - Approving the

Refinements in the Official Poverty Estimation Methodology.

2012 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) 3

The FIES is a nationwide survey conducted by the former National Statistics Office (also

now part of the Philippine Statistics Authority) every three years, which consists of 70 pages

of information on household income and expenditure, as well as, some socio-demographic

characteristics of the family. It is the main source of income and expenditure data in the

estimation of official poverty statistics in the country. The FIES is conducted in two rounds,

i.e., the first visit held in July as a rider to the July round of the LFS while the second visit is

in January of the following year as a rider to the January round of the LFS. The 2012 FIES is

a regular module of the Integrated Survey of Households (ISH), which contains 40,056

sample households, distributed across the 17 regions of the country.

3 Recognizing the clamor for more frequent release of official poverty statistics, the PSA, through the

recommendation of the former NEDA Director General Arsenio M. Balisacan, used the 2013 and 2014 Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS) as a tool for collecting income information similar to the FIES. Hence, the release of the 2013 and 2014 first semester official poverty statistics based on the APIS.

Page 31: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 24

January 2013 Labor Force Survey (LFS)

The LFS is another regular module of the ISH of the former NSO conducted every quarter of

the year. It collects data on the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of

population 15 years old and over and the major source of official employment data of the

country. The FIES is actually a rider to the LFS. Hence, most, if not all, of sample

households in the 2012 FIES are also available in the January 2013 LFS.

2010 Census of Population and Housing (CPH)

The CPH is a complete enumeration of the population in the country conducted every ten

years. It is a vital source of information on the composition of the population and

characteristics of their housing units. It covers all areas under the jurisdiction of the

Philippines as defined by the 1987 Constitution.

The table below summarizes the data sources used in the generation of the 2012

Municipality and City level poverty estimates:

3. Implementation of Methodology

This section presents a general perspective on small area estimation following the ELL

method implemented in the Philippines for the intercensal year 2012. As the methodology

used in this updating is similar to the previous poverty mapping project up to a certain extent,

Page 32: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 25

most part of this section are lifted directly from the previous Estimation of Local Poverty in

the Philippines (2005) report.

a. Introduction/Background

In introducing the concept of small area estimation, we consider the thrust of the national

government of alleviating the poverty status of the country. To maximize the effect of any

poverty alleviation program, there are a number of factors that have to be carefully taken into

account before implementation. One of the most common considerations is the proper

identification of priority areas. Answers to questions such as which areas need most help

and assistance from the government are often sought from national surveys that provide

information on poverty indicators. Needless to say, users want surveys to have as much

coverage as that of a census. However, this is not usually feasible because survey

coverage is directly proportional to the amount of administrative and financial resources

required to carry out the survey. Thus, surveys being incomplete enumeration of all

population units, have limitations and sampling errors. Due to the sampling design, surveys

may not be representative at the province and district level, such that estimates may tend to

be biased. In this context, survey domains provide information on the level of disaggregation

of direct estimates that can be derived from a survey which are theoretically reliable. For

example, the domain of the 2012 FIES conducted by former NSO corresponds to the

geographic region. Therefore, it is not surprising to get relatively high standard errors for

some poverty estimates at the provincial level. This could imply that the sample is not

representative at that level, and so, the estimates may tend to be biased. Further, analogous

estimates at the municipal and city level are expected to be less reliable should these be

generated directly from the survey. In this example, the sets of geographic provinces and

municipalities are referred to as statistical small areas. Hence, small area estimation is a

collection of statistical techniques designed to provide reliable estimates beyond the survey

domain. There are a number of small area techniques available and among them is the ELL

method used to generate the municipal and city poverty statistics.

In updating the small area poverty estimates during non-censal year like 2012, a similar

approach was used. The information from the 2012 FIES, 2012 Labor Force Survey (LFS),

and 2010 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) were combined to estimate poverty

incidence, poverty gap, and severity of poverty at the provincial, city and municipal levels.

Page 33: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 26

Statistical regression was used to predict per capita income, expressed in natural logarithmic

form4, Y, using explanatory variables denoted as X.

b. Selection of Explanatory Variables

Similar to the earlier poverty mapping project, X can be classified into two types: the survey-

obtainable variables, at the household or individual level (e.g., educational attainment of

household head, etc.); and the census-derivable location variables, which correspond to

barangay or municipal means (e.g., existence of a market in the barangay). It is important

that X used in modelling should be (a) available both in the survey and census; (b)

comparable and/or consistent with both the survey and census (i.e., X follows the same

definition in both survey and census) and (c) have survey and census statistics (mean value)

that match.

It may be noted that the overall objective is to compute city and municipal level poverty

statistics, with reliable and/or acceptable levels of precision. This can be done by modelling

income using X and fitting the resulting model using its census counterpart. Once this has

been done, predicted (per capita) income for all family units in the population will be derived.

Effectively, strength is borrowed from the census which has a larger coverage than the

survey. Note that such procedure requires that the variables constituting X should also be

available from the census. In addition to availability, comparability is also an essential

component in order to make the substitution of X with its census counterpart to compute

predicted (per capita) family income become valid.

In the earlier poverty mapping project, comparability assessment is more straightforward as

the data sets used (i.e., FIES, LFS and CPH) were collected in the same year (i.e., 2000).

Selection of survey-obtainable explanatory data can be done by examining the survey and

census questionnaires to identify which questions elicit equivalent information. In several

cases, equivalence may be achieved by collapsing some categories of responses. When

common variables have been identified, the appropriate summary statistics are compared for

the survey and the census data. For variables to be considered as consistent, summary

statistics of the census data should be within the confidence interval estimates observed

from the survey data. Comparability assessment is not required for the case of location- 4 Using natural logarithmic form of income is a usual approach in a number of econometric models. This is done

because log of income has symmetric distribution (while income has a highly skewed distribution). The error term in the model, which denotes the unexplained part of the dependent variable, is also assumed symmetric. Such that a model specification where the dependent variable and the error term have a similar distribution will be preferred to a model where they have very different distributions. For a more thorough discussion of this approach, the readers are referred to statistical regression theory texts.

Page 34: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 27

effect variables as these are sourced from the census, which were merged with the survey;

and as long as the geographic configurations between survey and census are the same.

Assessing comparability in the case of updating small area poverty statistics requires more

attention. Note that survey data is for 2012 while census data is for 2010, and our goal is to

come up with 2012 poverty statistics at the small area level. Hence, the time component has

to be taken into consideration, otherwise ambiguity may arise when the relationship between

Y and X is captured through regression modelling using 2012 survey information but fitting

the model using 2010 census data. To address the issue, survey-obtainable variables were

carefully screened by examining the survey and census questionnaires not only to identify

which questions elicit equivalent information but also those, which are time-invariant. Time

invariance, as used in this Project, means that the characteristic is not likely to change from

time to time (i.e., stable over time), e.g., material of the wall. For some of the variables, this

can be done by purposely collapsing some categories of responses to pre-defined

categories. For example, a binary variable hea_ategrad can be created, with value 1 if the

head of the household is at least elementary graduate, and 0 otherwise. If the head of the

household has completed elementary education in 2010, the value of hea_ategrad will be

equal to 1 in 2012 even if he is already in college.

When as many as possible of these “at least” type of variables have been created,

appropriate summary statistics are compared for the survey and census data. A variable will

be included in the list of explanatory variables X if the summary statistics for the census data

is within the confidence interval of the survey data. Likewise, we also include in the list of

explanatory variables X, location-effect variables represented by the census means.

In addition, a number of administrative variables were considered, such as the following:

Presence or absence of airport in the province

Presence or absence of malls (i.e., Shoemart, Gaisano, Ayala and Robinson’s) in

the municipality

Presence or absence of Jollibee in the municipality

Percent of households with unpaid family worker in the barangay

Average number of unpaid family worker

It is hoped that inclusion of these variables may help improve the model in terms of

adequacy that will be used to generate the municipal and city level poverty estimates.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 28

Further, the use of alternative forms of the model, e.g., assuming a Poisson distribution, may

c. Statistical Modelling5

Since there is a limited number of time invariant variables at the household level, the

explanatory variables X is dominated more by the location-effect variables. Recall that the

dependent variable Y is expressed at the household level. To capture a significant amount of

variability of Y, it is operationally useful to construct more time-invariant variables. This was

done by computing two-way interactions among variables in X. Interactions of explanatory

variables with urbanity were also computed. These approaches created more household-

level auxiliary data.

Separate models were fitted for each geographic region. The objective is to tailor the model

to account for the differences of geographic regions in the country, such as spatial

peculiarities. The set of geographic barangays comprise the clusters. Per geographic region,

computing through PovMap6 begins in the estimation of the income function,

ln Yij = E[ln Yij | Xij] + uij (1)

where Yij is the per capita income of jth household in ith cluster, X is the matrix explanatory

variable and u is the error component. This error component uij can be attributed into two

components: variability among the clusters and variability among households. Thus, we can

represent uij as,

uij = hi + eij (2)

5 This section provides a brief discussion of the regression modelling for per capita income (Note: Please refer to

the Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines released in 2005 for a discussion of more advanced statistical

concepts such as multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, modeling, and bootstrapping.).

6 A software package developed by World Bank specifically designed for poverty mapping/small area estimation method, specifically the Elbers, Lanjouw, Lanjouw methodology.

Page 43: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 36

where hi is the cluster component and eij is the household component. For each region, a

number of candidate models were estimated. As mentioned earlier, estimation of these

models was implemented using PovMap.

d. Development and Selection of Final Model

After model estimation and fitting of parameter estimates to census, it is necessary to undo

the log transform used for Y, also implemented through PovMap. The set of official provincial

poverty thresholds for the year 2012 was thus used to compute poverty estimates. These

estimates were determined at the municipal, provincial and regional levels. Bootstrap

estimates were summarized by their mean and standard deviation giving a point estimate

and standard error for the desired level of disaggregation. Bootstrapping is used to provide

estimates of the standard errors. As imputed income depends on the non-linearity of the

stochastic variables involved (the estimated model parameters, the correlated error terms),

computing the standard errors analytically is a little bit complicated.

Assessment of candidate models for each region involved comparison of similarity of the

parameter estimates and that of small area estimates, in addition to basic statistical criterion

such as adjusted R-squared, among others. This approach of assessment is also useful in

identifying over-fitted models, aberrant fluctuations as well as robustly significant variables.

Further, the resulting model-based poverty estimates at the regional levels were also

compared to direct survey estimates.

Selection of a reasonable model for a specific region was done by considering the following

criteria:

The relationship of the variables, whether positive or negative, on Y is generally

consistent with earlier researches on poverty (e.g. education should have a positive

effect on income).

The models should be robust, which means that small changes to the model do not

greatly affect the significance or signs of the regression coefficients pertaining to a

particular variable.

Estimated regional poverty incidence does not largely differ from the official regional

poverty estimates. Ranking of provinces based on the derived provincial poverty

Page 44: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 37

estimates based on SAE should as much as possible be consistent with the ranking of

provinces within the region based on official poverty statistics.

The model should have “good” statistical properties, e.g., acceptable model adequacy,

significant regression coefficients, significant regression coefficients and parsimony.

Figure A1. Comparison of official regional poverty estimates with estimates derived from 2012 SAE

As illustrated in Figure A1, regional poverty incidences based on SAE are relatively close

to the official poverty estimates although when they differ, SAE tends to underestimate

poverty a bit.

This was also observed in a similar exercise in Vietnam. Possible reasons could be the

following:

i. Since variables used in model-building were limited to those that are considered to

be time-invariant, variables such as household size and number of children were

replaced with proxy indicators such as cluster means (i.e. average household size in

Page 45: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 38

a barangay). These variables, however, were not always significant. In cases that

they are found to be significant, it was noted that these proxy indicators are not able

to capture the dependency variables adequately, which are negatively correlated with

income. Hence, it is expected to over-predict income, resulting to an underestimation

of poverty.

ii. The assumption that the geographic distribution of households (household

characteristics) has been stable over time may have been optimistic. It is possible

that migration, and/or variations in birth and death rates between the poor and non-

poor may have altered the picture.

e. Comparison of Estimates

It may be noted that refinements in the official poverty estimation methodology was

undertaken in 2011 and revised poverty estimates were only generated for 1991, 2006 and

2009 for comparison with 2012. Hence, methodology used in the estimation of the poverty

lines used for the 2000 and 2003 city and municipal level poverty estimates are not

consistent with those used in 2006, 2009 and 2012 city and municipal level poverty

estimates.

4. Limitation of the Study

i. Data

In the absence of a census, as well as panel data in 2012, in which case, survey household

per capita income from 2012 can be linked to X variables in 2010 while, only time-invariant

variables or location effect variables/census means were used in the development of the

regression models to predict per capita income of households in 2012. Hence, as

mentioned in the earlier section, variables such as household size and number of children

were replaced with proxy indicators such as cluster means of these variables (i.e., average

household size in a barangay). These were not always significant or if significant, are not

able to capture the dependency adequately that tends to over-predict income, resulting to an

underestimation of poverty.

Page 46: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 39

ii. Dropped observations in the PovMap modelling process

The PovMap only proceeds if the barangay clusters have at least two observations. A

solution that was made is to filter the data set by keeping the clusters with at least two

observations, causing some observations to be dropped in the modelling process.

iii. Regional model may not necessarily capture the unique characteristics of

provinces/municipalities

As models specified are at the regional level, characteristics atypical of the province may not

be fully captured by the model.

iv. Non-inclusion of other relevant variables such as migration and tourism

The Project Team recognizes that there may be other variables that are significantly

correlated with income, such as migration and tourism, which were not included in the model

due to data constraints. (Note: Tourism was somehow incorporated in the model building

through the census variable “number of hotel or accommodation establishments in the

barangay”). Nevertheless, the PSA plans to consider these in the future endeavours on SAE

once data on these areas of concern becomes available.

v. Trend analysis can only be done for 2006, 2009 and 2012

It may be noted that refinements in the official poverty estimation methodology was

undertaken in 2011 and revised poverty estimates were only generated for 1991, 2006 and

2009 for comparison with 2012. Hence, methodology used in the estimation of the poverty

lines used for the 2000 and 2003 city and municipal level poverty estimates are not

comparable with those used in 2006, 2009 and 2012 city and municipal level poverty

estimates.

C. Validation Workshop

1. Objectives

Similar to the past poverty mapping projects that were conducted, validation activities on the

2012 municipal and city level poverty statistics through a one-day workshop and ocular

assessment in a selected region/province, in this case Region VI in the province of Aklan,

was undertaken. The validation activities were conducted by the PSA Technical Staff with

the Project Consultant and the Project Technical Adviser. The main objective of the

validation activities is to assess the acceptability and consistency of the estimates

generated. These exercises were done to evaluate how well the estimates relate to the

assessment of local government units, the academe, civil society organizations, as well as

local communities in the region/province. Specifically, the validation activities aim to:

a. Solicit the workshop participants’ expert opinion and intimate knowledge of the poverty

situation in Aklan and in its specific localities by providing assessment on the status of

their respective municipalities in the province based on identified poverty indicators;

b. Present the initial results of the Project on the Generation of the 2012 Municipal and

City Level Poverty Statistics, including some background on the methodology,

variables used, and the assessments undertaken;

c. Serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas and discussion of the provincial and

municipal level poverty estimates produced through the project and to evaluate how

well they relate to the assessment of the local participants; and

d. Conduct ocular assessment of the socio-economic, demographic, and housing

characteristics of cities/municipalities vis-à-vis the results of the regional model and

city/municipality poverty estimates in the Region.

2. Mechanics

a. Validation Workshop

Invited workshop participants were composed of:

Provincial key informants with detailed knowledge of all the municipalities in the

province, e.g., provincial planning and development coordinator.

Page 50: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 43

Municipal key informants, e.g., representatives from the municipal planning and

development offices.

Some representatives from the academic institutions and civil society organizations in

Aklan

Representatives from government agencies’ regional/provincial offices

The participants were asked to accomplish the validation form, which included the indicators

significant in the SAE model for Region VI. Specifically, the indicators are:

Educational attainment of the male and female household members

Barangay being part of the town/city proper or former poblacion of the municipality

Marital status of the household head

Household members who are working as clerks in the municipality

Number of immediate (nuclear) family members in the household

3. Workshop Design

a. Validation Workshop

The validation workshop was held in Kalibo, Aklan. Twelve out of the 17 provinces were

represented by public and private institutions during the validation workshop. The

participants were asked to provide their assessment on the poverty situation of the

municipalities in the province.

In Part I of the validation form, the participants were asked to assess the indicators that

turned out to be significant in the SAE model of Region VI. Specifically, the participants were

asked to provide their “best” estimate of selected poverty-related characteristics of

households from their respective city/municipality.

In Part II of the validation form, the participants were asked to provide information on the

average number of poor per 10 persons/individuals residing in their respective

city/municipality and other cities/municipalities where they have some reasonable knowledge

of.

The poverty estimates of the cities/municipalities in the province based on the participants’

scoring were compared with the poverty estimates of cities/municipalities based on the SAE.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 44

b. Ocular Assessment

In addition to the validation workshop, the Project Technical Team conducted ocular

assessments of the community and housing characteristics of some barangays in the three

municipalities in Aklan. These were done to gain better insights on the province and validate

whether the variables are truly reflective of the actual poverty situation in the municipalities.

The Team were asked to fill out the Ocular Assessment Form (see Form in the next section)

based on their observations.

The ocular assessment was conducted in the municipalities of Kalibo, New Washington and

Malay in Aklan. The community and housing characteristics of some barangays in these

municipalities were observed and noted in the ocular assessment form.

Kalibo, New Washington and Malay have poverty incidences below 15.0 percent. Based on

the ocular exercises, it was observed that the three municipalities are generally urban areas,

with commercial establishments and offices present in the vicinity. Primary and secondary

schools are present in all the municipalities. There are also tertiary education institutions in

Kalibo and New Washington.

5. Findings

Listed below are some of the general insights and findings on the conduct of the validation

exercises:

The participants found the definitions of some indicators being assessed confusing,

thus, requiring further explanations from the Project Team members.

The results of the accomplished validation forms were presented after the workshop

proper, hence, providing insights/clarifications to the participants on the rankings of

cities/municipalities based on SAE and participants’ own assessment. Upon the

presentation of the assessment results, it was noted that the participants’ assessment

on the poverty classifications of the municipalities were more consistent with the 2009

SAE than with 2012 estimates. This was because according to the participants, their

major reference in filling up the Form for the validation workshop is the result of the

assessment undertaken by the Department of Social Welfare and Development

(DSWD) in 2011 and not their own observation for 2012. It was noted that a number of

typhoons were experienced by the province from 2011-2012, which resulted to flood

and damages to properties.

D. Advocacy

1. National Dissemination Forum

A National Dissemination Forum was held on 10 April 2015 at the BSA Twin Towers,

Mandaluyong City. During the forum, the 2012 municipal and city level poverty estimates, as

well as the methodology and variables used, were presented. The forum also served as a

venue for the exchange and discussion of ideas among various stakeholders and users

regarding the small area poverty estimates and methodology.

Some of the important points raised during the forum are:

An initial poverty classification of municipalities and cities proposed to be adopted in

the project was presented, i.e., least poor, mildly poor, moderately poor, highly poor,

and severely poor, which was based on a Ph.D. research study on communications.

However, it was recommended that further review be done on the classification and

Page 55: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 48

more politically acceptable terminologies be adopted for the poverty analysis of

municipalities and cities.

There is a need to reduce the time lag on the generation and release of small area

poverty estimates to be more relevant to data users, program planners and

stakeholders. The suggestion made by the participants was to improve the efficiency

of collection of data inputs, i.e., the census and survey data, through the use of tablets

and other gadgets.

Government statistics should be packaged in such a way that users will be able to

appreciate and use the data as effective tool for policies, programs and evidence-

based decision-making. The use of infographics and other visualization tools in

disseminating statistics are recommended to reach out to a greater audience of users

of statistics, particularly the policy-makers, the politicians and the media.

Explore the possibility of coming up with small area poverty estimates for other

marginalized sector, e.g. women, which will serve as inputs to women empowerment.

2. Regional Dissemination Forum

a. Iloilo City

On 30 June 2015, the first regional dissemination forum on the 2012 Municipal and City

Level Estimates of Poverty was held in Iloilo City. The forum was attended by users and

stakeholders from the local government agencies and academic institutions from various

parts of Visayas.

Following are essential comments raised during the forum:

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) VI used the SAE of

poverty for identifying who and where are the poor. They also used the estimates for

their Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-

Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS), and

Listahanan Program. Hence, shorter time lag will be appreciated.

Page 56: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 49

The local chief executives used the estimates in decision making and policy

formulation and emphasize the importance of generating lower disaggregates of

statistics.

There is clamour for the timely release of small area estimates, so that they can use

the data more efficiently and effectively.

There is also recommendation to invest in small and medium scale industries to

generate employment, and further alleviate poverty in the Region.

The proposition to utilize other resources to aid and further enhance the determination

of poverty levels, aside from income and expenditure data was also raised during the

forum.

b. Laoag City

The second regional dissemination forum on the 2012 Municipal and City Level Estimates of

Poverty was held in Laoag City on 22 September 2015. The forum was attended by users

and stakeholders from the local government agencies and academic institutions from various

parts of Northern Luzon.

Below are the salient points raised during the forum:

The Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte has been one of the active local

government units to localize the monitoring of the Millennium Development Goals

(MDG) and the first goal of MDG is to eradicate poverty. To achieve this goal, the

provincial government utilized the small area estimates of poverty produced by the

PSA, along with the Listahanan Program of DSWD, to determine the poor families and

communities. They were able to determine two levels of poverty. The first level

includes the poorest of the poor and they are the ones that receive poverty alleviating

programs like the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program. The second level is the

transformative poor wherein they are the ones that receive the community driven

development programs. The local government provides capital for the families who

wants to become entrepreneurs and put up a business.

There were inquiries raised on the generation of poverty thresholds that determines

whether an individual or a family is considered poor and the inquiries were met from

Page 57: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 50

further discussions on the food and non-food needs of an individual or a family. It has

been cleared that poverty incidences are obtained in consideration with the local

characteristics of a province.

There was also a suggestion from one of the resource persons, Dr. Romulo Virola,

regarding the presentation of poverty estimates for least poor regions like Ilocos

Region. He suggested that instead of presenting the poverty estimates of the region, it

would be ideal to present the indicators that drive the region to be less poor and

encourage the region to explore other indicators to improve. Also, he urges the

province to serve as a leader in spearheading other provinces to alleviate poverty.

There was a suggestion on conducting the survey of prices for all municipalities and

cities with markets for a more accurate data on pricing which will help generate more

accurate results for poverty threshold but this is still considered a challenge for the

PSA since this will need more labor and cost resources.

It was also accentuated by Dr. Virola that poverty incidences and indicators should be viewed as a tool by the policy-makers to create innovative programs that can alleviate poverty at the municipal and city level.

c. Davao City

The third regional dissemination forum on the 2012 Municipal and City Level Estimates of

Poverty was conducted in Davao City on 2 December 2015. The forum was attended by

users and stakeholders from the local government agencies and academic institutions from

various parts of Mindanao.

Following are the relevant comments raised during the forum:

The DSWD XI used the small area estimates of poverty in the identification of areas for

the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social

Services (KALAHI-CIDSS), the Pantawid Pamilya Program and the Sustainable

Livelihood Program (SLP).

The City Planning and Development Office of Davao City used the municipal and city

level estimates of poverty as basis for programming and planning the City’s projects.

The city government also conducted their own participatory resource appraisals, where

they did poverty profiling for each barangay. They considered variables other than

Page 58: 2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates is a publication prepared by the Poverty and Human Development Statistics Division of

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 51

income such as access to electricity, survival and development indicators of children,

access to sanitary toilets and water, land tenure, structure of the house, among others.

For policy purposes, the policy-makers should be concerned with the data such as the

poverty statistics, which are used for the allocation of funds. In the context of DSWD

programs, poverty statistics are important for better targeting, which can also linked

with the programs of the Department of Health (DOH) and Department of Education

(DepEd). These line agencies should review the implementation of their programs to

better serve the programs’ objectives. Further, it is suggested to revisit the institutional

arrangements on planning and budgeting.

There is still persistent demand/request for the timely release of data. Further, there

was a suggestion to forecast or project the poverty incidence, however, there are

limited data points available. Hence, the results will be unreliable.

Validation exercises or ocular assessments were done to validate/cross-check the

results. There were focused-group discussions with the municipal/city coordinators.

Relatedly, there was an invitation to do validation exercises in North Cotabato.

There are clamor on the barangay-level poverty estimates for more deterministic and

more focused planning and targeting.

Since there is a wealth of human resources at the academe, the state universities and

colleges offering statistics program can take a look at various research agenda e.g.,

generating barangay-level or smaller area poverty statistics.

E. Lessons Learned

There is a need to clearly define the variables.

There is a need to further improve the design of the validation workshop to ensure that

the main objective of the workshop, which is to validate the estimates will be fully

achieved.

There is a need to dovetail the focus/context/substance of the subnational

dissemination forum to the poverty situation in the area

(region/province/municipality/city).

There is a need to seriously consider addressing the time lag of the data to be able to

accurately validate whether the generated SAE reflects the latest poverty situation in

the municipality.

There may be a need to explore other SAE techniques to be able to generate more

reliable poverty estimates.

Source: Philippine Statistics Authority, through a national government funded project on the generation of the 2012 small area estimates on poverty. Please note that the 2009 small area estimates of poverty were generated through funding assistance from the Government of the Philippines, World Bank and the Australian Government.

Note: The standard deviation of an estimate can be derived by multiplying the poverty incidence and coefficient of variation then divide by 100.

*Estimates are reliable if the coefficient of variation is at most 20 %

The PSA thanks its former officials, Ms. Jessamyn Encarnacion, Mr. Manuel Laopao and Members of

the Technical Committee on Poverty Statistics (TC-PovStat) coordinated by the PSA, who provided

technical inputs/comments/guidance to this Project. We are also grateful to Mr. Joseph Addawe and

Mr. Noel Victorino of UN OCHA who shared their time and expertise on infographics to the Project

Staff, which became handy when the infographic materials on the result of this Project were

developed. We also would like to express appreciation to our regional offices, particularly Regions I,

VI and XI headed by Regional Director Socrates Ramores, former IRD Norman R. Julag-ay and

former IRD Jaime S. Paller, respectively, for the support and assistance they provided when we

conducted the Validation and Dissemination Forum in some of the provinces. And lastly, to the

Planning and Management Staff, which was used to be headed by Mr. Candido Astrologo and Atty.

Maribeth Pilimpinas of the Finance and Administrative Service for providing the necessary

administrative and logistic support to make the activities of this Project possible.
