FOREWORD
The 2013 edition of the Philippine Forest Facts and Figures (PF3) is the second issue of an annual statistical handbook being published by the Forest Management Bureau (FMB). Through this handbook, the FMB tries to consolidate statistics that can provide information at hand on frequently asked questions regarding the forestry sector. The forestry statistics tables herein are drawn from the regular activities and reports from the operations of the DENR Forest Management Service Field Offices. There are also those which are obtained from other government agencies as acknowledged in the relevant tables.
The PF3 handbook presents statistical information on forest resources, activities and utilization. It also features statistics on forestry-related trades, prices, revenues and other relevant statistics.
We welcome comments and suggestions from stakeholders.

I. FOREST RESOURCES AND FORESTRY ACTIVITIES
A. Land Classification
The Philippines’ total land area currently and officially used is 30 million hectares that is legally classified as alienable and disposable land (14.2 million hectares or 47.3%) and forestland (15.8 million hectares or 52.7%).
LAND CLASSIFICATION: 2013
There are on-going initiatives from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA), and Land Management Bureau (LMB) among others, leading to the determination of accurate and updated land area of the country based on various activities. These include the final outputs and statistics of the Forest Land Boundary Delineation (FLBD) Project of DENR which are based on digital mapping that ensures greater accuracy; and Cadastral Project of LMB to determine the administrative boundary of Local Government Units (LGUs) nationwide.
The revision of the Land Classification (LC) Statistics should be based on the latest fully documented and official total land area of the country. Thus, the LC Statistics remained as 30 million hectares land area of the Philippines until an official and fully documented total land of the country is made available.

B. Forest Cover
The Philippine forest/ land cover data for 2010 released by the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) was generated through the visual interpretation of images of the Philippines taken from various earth observation satellites. These are ALOS AVNIR-2, SPOT5, and LandSat. A total of 185 scenes with 10 meters resolution covering the whole Philippine archipelago were analyzed. The results were mapped and aggregated into twenty-one (21) land cover categories based on the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) standard land cover classification, and subjected to accuracy assessment and field validation. The generated regional data were presented to DENR field offices prior to final mapping.

Based on the 2010 satellite imageries, the total forest cover of the Philippines was estimated at 6.840 million hectares. Of the total forest cover, open forest accounted with an area of 4.595 million hectares; closed forest with total area of 1.934 million hectares; and mangrove forest with 0.311 million hectares. The table below shows the distribution of the Philippine forest cover by region by forest types:

About 93.01% of the total forest cover is in forestland while only 6.99% is in A&D. The graph below shows the percentages of the Philippine forest cover in forestland and alienable & disposable land according to the total, closed, open, and mangrove forests.
FOREST COVER
IN FORESTLAND AND A&D: 2010
Based on the historical information from various sources collated from 1934 to 2010, the Philippine forest cover was decreasing. In 1934, from old maps cited by Revilla, forest cover was at 17 million hectares. The succeeding data points based from Master Plan for Forestry Development followed a decreasing trend until 1987 with 6.461 million hectares based on RP-GERMAN National Forest Resource Inventory.
PHILIPPINE FOREST COVER, 1934-2010
In 2003, the forest cover increased by 10.9%. The latest forest cover data in 2010 showed a minimal decrease of 4.58% compared to the average percentage change (1934 to 1987) of -16.7%. Both 2003 and 2010 forest cover data were based on satellite image interpretation. C. Watershed Forest Reserves
In 2013, there are 114 proclaimed watershed forest
reserves (WFRs) with a total area of 1.34 million hectares. Of the total 135 proclaimed WFRs in the country in 2012, twenty-eight (28) watershed areas under the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) were excluded, while seven (7) watersheds for hydropower and geothermal energy were included in the list.

VII. METADATA FOR THE NATIONAL FORESTRY STATISTICS OF THE PHILIPPINES
National System of Forestry Statistics
Legal Framework
The legal framework of the national system of forestry statistics goes back as far as June 1863 pursuant to a Spanish Royal Decree creating the "Inspeccion General de Montes.” It was the first Forestry Service in the Philippines whose function was to determine, through data collection, the extent of the country's forest resources and oversee their proper utilization.
The Treaty of Paris of 1898, Spain ceded and
surrendered control of the Philippine archipelago to the United States. The U.S. Military Governor in the Philippines issued General Order No. 50, on April 14, 1900, renaming " Inspeccion General de Montes " into Forestry Bureau. Captain George P. Ahern, of the 96th U.S. Infantry, was named as its first Director.
The Philippine Commission passed Act No. 222 on
September 6, 1901 creating the Department of Interior and placing the Forestry Bureau, which was changed to Bureau of Forestry under this Department. An “Annual Report of the Director of Forestry of the Philippine Island” was being prepared and submitted regularly to the US President. The report includes statistics of licenses issued by provinces, forest products cut, forest charges collected, amount of fines, including the checking of auxiliary invoices, as well as amount of rental for the use of the forest land.
On November 18, 1916, Act No. 2666 entitled "An
Act to Reorganize the Executive Department of the Government of the Philippine Islands”, abolished the Department of Interior and transferred its functions and authority to the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR).

On February 5, 1974, by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 389 (PD 389) known as the “Forestry Reform Code of the Philippines,” the Bureau of Forestry, the Parks and Wildlife Office and the Reforestation Administration were merged, resulting in the creation of the Bureau of Forest Development (BFD).
The end of DANR came on May 17, 1974 when
Presidential Decree No. 461 was issued providing for the Department's reorganization into two departments, namely: the Department of Agriculture (DA) and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). On May 19, 1975, PD 705 known as the “Revised Forestry Code of the Philippines” revising PD 389 was issued formally organizing the BFD.
On June 10, 1987, by virtue of Executive Order No.
192, known as the “Reorganization Act of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)” created, among others, the Forest Management Bureau which integrated and absorbed the powers and functions of the Bureau of Forest Development (BFD) and the Wood Industry Development Authority (WIDA) except those line functions and powers which were transferred to the DENR Regional Field Offices.
As specified in the DENR Administrative Order
(DAO) No. 1988-1, the implementing guidelines for the reorganization of the DENR pursuant to E.O. 192 directed the Bureau to maintain a forest resources data bank to provide updated and timely statistics and information for policy studies purposes.
In consonance with the reorganized set-up of the
DENR, DAO 1989-133 prescribed a standard Statistical Reporting System (SRS) to ensure well-coordinated data collection and reporting activities in the Central and Regional operations to facilitate delivery of statistical information on time. The Department Order was further amended to include Foreign Assisted Projects (DAO 1993-31) and improvements in the prescribed forms and reporting flow (DAO 1994-10).
Pursuant to Republic Act 7161 approved on October 10, 1991 is an act incorporating certain sections of the national internal revenue code of 1977 as amended, to PD 705 as amended, otherwise known as "the revised forestry code of the Philippines," and providing amendments thereto by increasing the forest charges on timber and other forest products. Hence, DENR issued DAO 1991-65, pursuant to Section 6 of RA 7161 on criteria and/or guidelines in determining the actual Free on Board (FOB) market price of timber and other forest products as basis for assessing forest charges.
On May 27, 1992, Republic Act No. 7581 known as
the Price Act was ratified, that include some forest products as basic necessities and prime commodities that requires regular price monitoring to ensure protection to consumers against undue price increases during emergency situations and like occasions. DENR Memorandum Circular 1993-19 directed the DENR Field Offices to monitor the supply and retail price of the forest products enumerated in the RA 7581 in close coordination with the local government units.
The Forest Management Bureau became a member
of the Inter-Agency Committee on Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry Statistics (IACAFFS), created through National Statistical and Coordination Board (NSCB) Memorandum Order No. 1-95, dated July 6, 1995 and was reconstituted under NSCB Memorandum Order No. 0040, Series of 2003, to serve as forum for the discussion and resolution of issues pertaining to the generation of agriculture, fishery and forestry statistics. Under this IAC are Technical Working Groups (TWGs) by agriculture sub-sector and/or commodity.
The specific functions of the Committee are as
follows: To serve as a forum for the discussion of the
issues raised by concerned producers and users of agriculture, fishery and forestry statistics;
31
To assess and evaluate existing statistics on the agriculture, fishery and forestry sector in terms of quality, usefulness and timeliness, and determine areas of duplication, discrepancies and gaps;
To review the concepts, techniques, and
methodologies used in the collection, processing and reporting of agriculture, fishery and forestry statistics to ensure conformity with prescribed statistical standards; and
To recommend an efficient and workable
scheme for the allocation of agency responsibilities in the production of agriculture, fishery and forestry statistics.
On July 1, 1996, Executive Order No. 352 was issued
that approved the activities and statistics that have been designated by the NSCB for adoption by the government. The NSCB is authorized under EO 352 to modify (add/delete) based on its evaluation and monitoring, in accordance with basic statistical standards and in consultation with data producers and users. Subsequent resolutions have been issued to designate additional statistics.
The system of designated statistics is a mechanism
that identifies and generates the most critical and essential statistics required for social and economic planning/ analysis based on approved criteria. It establishes priorities for data production and hence provides a means for more rational resource allocation among government statistical activities. It also identifies the sources of official statistics.
The system defines the agency responsible, frequency
of data production and schedule of data dissemination. It shall also indicate the major data items to be collected and the geographic level of disaggregation, among others. The FMB was tasked to generate production and price data of forest products.
On March 21, 1999, EO 406 was signed
institutionalizing the Philippine Economic-Environmental and Natural Resources Accounting (PEENRA) system to: compile sector resource accounts, and study and formulate viable approaches and methodologies in coordination with the NSCB; conduct studies and research in support of policy development related to PEENRA; ensure that the environmental considerations are integrated in their policy, project planning and implementation based on PEENRA results; and, provide environmental and natural resources data and strengthen its statistical capabilities for PEENRA.
To incorporate the statistical needs of PEENRA,
DENR issued DAO 1999-09 adopting revised statistical reporting forms and amending certain sections of DAO 1994-10.
The Philippine forestry statistics are made available in
the FMB Website, Annual Philippine Forestry Statistics publications; Chapter on Environment and Natural Resources of the Philippine Statistical Yearbook; ITTO’s Annual Review and Assessment of the World Timber Situation, and inputs to Economic Indicators published on monthly, quarterly and annual basis by the NSCB.
The primary stakeholders of the Philippine Forestry
Statistics are the policy and decision-makers of the DENR. Other stakeholders include both national and international organizations and investors. International

Revision Policy
The Forest Management Bureau shall adopt a general policy on revising the data of quarterly estimates on forestry production, prices and related statistics be limited to the immediately preceding quarter and for the past three (3) years with quarterly breakdown to be done only during the month of May of the current year. This happens when additional statistics and/or indicators are made available to support the change in the original data. The revision policy was formulated to inform producers and users of forestry statistics generated by FMB.
