  • FOREWORDFOREWORDThe official poverty monitoring system (PMS) in the Philippines relies mainly on family income andexpenditure surveys. Information on other aspects of well-being is generally obtained fromrepresentative health surveys, national population and housing censuses, and others. However, thesesurveys and censuses are (i) too costly to be replicated frequently; (ii) conducted at different timeperiods, making it impossible to get a comprehensive profile of the different socio-demographicgroups of interest at a specific point in time; and (iii) have sampling designs that do not usuallycorrespond to the geographical disaggregation needed by local government units (LGUs). In addition,the implementation of the decentralization policy, which devolves to LGUs the function of deliveringbasic services, creates greater demand for data at the local level.

    The Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) seeks to address these gaps by providingdata at the local level appropriate for diagnosing the cause and extent of local poverty, formulatingappropriate policies and programs, identifying eligible beneficiaries, and assessing the impact ofpolicies and programs. It also supports the decentralization process by capacitating the LGUs tocollect, analyze, and use data in local planning, budgeting, and program implementation.

    This second volume of statistical tables and poverty maps of seven provinces generated throughthe CBMS methodology represents part of what we hope will be a series of publications that willemerge from the collaborations between the CBMS Network Coordinating Team and its partner-LGUs.These partnerships have been in place for several years now, and these partner-LGUs are finally enjoyingthe fruits of their hard labor.

    The CBMS poverty maps will identify who and where the poor are as they provide a comprehensivepicture of the different faces of poverty in different parts of the country. They will also aid in identifyingthe most pressing needs of the community, assist in prioritizing interventions to address theseneeds, and facilitate the targeting of programs for those who need the assistance most.

    The provinces featured in this volume are Agusan del Sur, Dinagat Islands, Marinduque, OrientalMindoro, Palawan, Sarangani, and Southern Leyte. The statistics presented in this report are based onthe CBMS surveys conducted in these provinces during a 4-year period–from 2005-2008.

    The work leading to the publication of this book owes much to the unwavering support andcommitment of our partners both at the local and national levels. For so many months now, we haveworked hand-in-hand with them in consolidating databases and validating our survey findings. Andnow, with their consent, we are sharing their data to a wide range of CBMS stakeholders all over thecountry – indeed a glowing testament of their dedication to make their development planning processesmore efficient and effective! Tremendous thanks are therefore in order to all our partner LGUs,national government agencies, non-government organizations, donors and other development partnersfor making this possible.

    It is hoped that this publication will provide the necessary data to facilitate evidence-baseddecision-making toward improving local governance and reducing poverty in the country.

  • INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONConsidered a foremost legislation that ushered in a new era of local governance, the Local GovernmentCode (LGC) of 1991 has paved the way not only for greater autonomy but also for increased expenditureresponsibility and revenue authority of local government units.

    Since then, the local government units (LGUs) have assumed a greater role in local governmentmanagement and service delivery. The devolution is substantial not only in the magnitude ofresponsibilities that were shifted to LGUs but also in the amount of resources now at their disposalto effectively discharge the devolved functions. Today, LGUs have access to multiple revenue sources,chief of which is their share in the national internal revenues—the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA).For the period 2006–2009, the average IRA per year is P172.4 billion (see Table 1).

    While experts agree that local governments are not awash with cash, the P689.6 billion worth ofIRA that the LGUs have received over the 4-year period is certainly a big amount. This underscores theimportance of making sure that LGUs are equipped with the right tools, systems, and procedures toensure the effective use of these public financial resources. One way to do this is by providing themaccess to comprehensive socioeconomic data, on the basis of which they can craft their developmentplans and budgets.

    Statistical Issues and Concerns at the Subnational Level

    With decentralization, the types of data demanded by a wide range of users—policymakers, programimplementers, civil society, and others—are changing. Data disaggregated to correspond to thedifferent levels of government are needed by LGUs to adequately assess their local situation. Moreover,longitudinal data are needed to track welfare changes over time. Household-level data are alsoneeded to identify eligible beneficiaries of different programs.

    In 2005, 14 years after the LGC enactment, the ADB-WB released a report highlighting statisticalissues and concerns at the subnational level. It said: “The most comprehensive and consistentcomparative subnational data is at the regional level although this is simply an administrative levelof government that has no responsibilities for delivery of social services. More data is graduallybecoming available at the provincial level, but not at lower levels, which are at the frontline of effortsto reduce poverty.”1

  • Local Pover ty Monitoring Systems Rise up to the Challenge

    Owing to still unresolved statistical issues and concerns at the subnational level, an increasing numberof LGUs all over the country have taken the initiative to establish their own Community-Based MonitoringSystem (CBMS). As of August 31, 2010, CBMS is being implemented in 60 provinces (32 of which areimplementing the system province-wide), 698 municipalities, and 45 cities, covering a total of 18,269barangays. Data generated by CBMS have so far been used in diagnosing the nature and extent ofpoverty in their localities, identifying appropriate interventions, identifying eligible beneficiaries of povertyreduction programs, and assessing the impact of some of these programs.

    National government agencies have likewise taken notice of the CBMS initiative. Today, CBMS isrecognized as a tool for (i) building the capacity of LGUs on poverty diagnosis and planning, (ii) localizingthe Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and (iii) generating local poverty statistics for evidence-based development planning and budgeting.

    Parallel with efforts to establish databanks at each geopolitical level, an initiative on building thenational repository of CBMS data has also been jumpstarted with the installation of the repository atthe National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) and at the Department of the Interior and Local Government(DILG). The national repository is envisioned to facilitate data sharing across government agencies,the private sector, donor agencies, and other relevant stakeholders. Specifically, the national repositorywill (i) facilitate the access and use of the integrated CBMS database by national entities in theiradvocacy work with key decisionmakers, (ii) support government and non-government funding sourcesin strengthening evidence-based planning and monitoring and in aligning their interventions to nationalpriorities, and (ii) facilitate the implementation of targeted programs.

    Concluding Remarks

    Public statistics will increasingly shape public agenda at the local level as more and more LGUsestablish their own monitoring systems to make their development planning processes more efficientand effective. In this scenario, local poverty monitoring systems such as the CBMS will have anextremely important role to play.

    The country’s experience with local-level poverty monitoring systems clearly demonstrates thatthere can be a comprehensive picture of the poverty situation. Very few, if any, national surveys collectinformation on the dif ferent dimensions of poverty. There is a survey on income and expenditure,another on health, another on education, another on employment, another on nutrition, and others. Asthe samples and the reference periods are different, there is no comprehensive picture of the povertystatus of the population at any point in time. This is where CBMS can make a difference as it addressessthese gaps through its set of core indicators relating to the different dimensions of poverty.

  • EXPLANATORY TEXTEXPLANATORY TEXTA. CBMS Core Indicators

    The statistical tables and poverty maps presented in this volume pertain to the CBMS CoreIndicators (also known as Core Local Poverty Indicators1), which were generated using theCBMS methodology.

    The CBMS Core Indicators are a set of carefully selected indicators that capture the multipledimensions of poverty. They define the basic criteria for attaining a decent quality of life andcorrespond to the minimum basic needs covering (a) health, (b) nutrition, (c) housing, (d)water and sanitation, (e) basic education, (f) income, (g) employment, and (h) peace andorder. Together, these indicators provide information not only on how poor a community is,but also on who in the community is poor, and where.

    The CBMS Core Indicators are presented in Table 1. Meanwhile, the poverty and foodthresholds used are presented in Table 2.

    1 The Depar tment of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has issued Memorandum Circular 2003-92 (April 2003) to set policyguidelines for the adoption of the 13 core local pover ty indicators, for planning and Memoradum Circular 2004-152 (November 2004) toencourage LGUs to intensify ef forts toward the achievement of the millennium development goals (MDGs). The latter circular also enjoins LGUsto use monitoring systems such as MBN-CBIS, CBMS, IRAP, etc., to monitor and diagnose the nature and extent of poverty in their respectivelocalities. CBMS was adopted by the DILG as the data collection and processing system for the CLPIMS which was the tool adopted to monitorthe MDGs for LGUs.

    Box 1. Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS)

    The CBMS is an organized way of collecting ongoing or recurring information at the locallevel to be used by local governments, national government agencies, non-governmentorganization (NGOs), and civil society for planning, budgeting, and implementing localdevelopment programs, as well as for monitoring and evaluating their performance. It is atool for improved local governance and democratic decisionmaking that promotes greatertransparency and accountability in resource allocation.

    It involves the following steps:Step 1 – Advocacy/organizationStep 2 – Data collection and field editingStep 3 – Data encoding and map digitizationStep 4 – Data consolidation, database-building and poverty mappingStep 5 – Data validation and community consultationStep 6 – Knowledge (database) managementStep 7 – Plan formulationStep 8 – Dissemination, implementation, and monitoring

    * Agusan del Sur, Palawan, and Southern Leyte used this definition of unemployment. Meanwhile, Dinagat Islands, Marinduque, OrientalMindoro, and Sarangani used the new official definition of unemployment as per NSCB Resolution No. 15, Series of 2004. More informationabout this new definition is available on the website of the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB): http://www.nscb.gov.ph/resolutions/2004/15.asp

  • B. Authority for the Survey

    The National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) has issued Resolution No. 6 (2005),which recognizes and enjoins support to the CBMS as a tool for strengthening the statisticalsystem at the local level. It also directs the NSCB Technical Staff to initiate and coordinatean advocacy program for the adoption of the CBMS by the LGUs, through the RegionalStatistical Coordination Committees (RSCCs), the technical arm of the NSCB Executive Boardin the regions.

    The NSCB has also approved the CBMS Survey Instruments (NSCB Approval No. DILG-0903-01)

    C. Survey Operations

    All survey operations were undertaken under the supervision of the CBMS Technical WorkingGroups (TWGs) at the provincial and municipal Levels. They identified the local personnelwho were trained as enumerators and field supervisors. Technical assistance was providedby the PEP-CBMS Network Office, the Bureau of Local Government Development (BLGD) andRegional Office IV-B of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), NationalAnti-Poverty Commission (NAPC), National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA)Regional Office IV-B, and the Institute for Democratic Participation in Governance (IDPG).

    Training is mainly conducted at two levels. The first level training (Training of Trainors) isconducted for members of the TWGs. This is usually conducted by members of the researchstaff of the PEP-CBMS Network Office and CBMS-accredited trainors from the DILG, NAPCand NEDA. Meanwhile, a second level training (Training of Enumerators) is conducted forenumerators--usually composed of barangay health workers and students. Members of theTWG act as trainors in this training.

  • D. Data Processing System

    The CBMS Data Processing System includes the CBMS Data Encoding System, StatisticsSimulator (StatSim) and the CBMS-Natural Resources Database (NRDB).

    The CBMS Encoding System uses CSPro (Census and Survey Processing), a softwaredeveloped by the United States Bureau of Census for entering, editing, tabulating, anddisseminating data from censuses and surveys. The CSPro-based Encoding System convertssurvey data into electronic data. It produces text files (ASCII) described by data dictionaries,which adds flexibility to the output data. This feature facilitates the interface between theCBMS data and other database systems and statistical softwares.

    The CBMS-NRDB is capable of creating and storing spatial (shapefiles) and non-spatial (textsand numbers) data as well as generating maps, reports and graphs ideal for presentation andanalysis of poverty attributes in the community. This has significantly addressed the need for asimple yet powerful and free geographically-oriented database.

    The CBMS Mapping system employs the Natural Resources Database2 (NRDB) for CBMS-based poverty mapping and for storing and displaying household- and individual-levelinformation.

    The data presented through poverty maps using the CBMS-NRDB are processed using theCBMS StatSim which has been developed by the PEP-CBMS Network Office to address theparticular need of LGUs to harness outputs from the CBMS Database such as custom tables,reports, case lists and queries. The StatSim simulates simple computations and tabulationsusually done through statistical software or other tabulation applications, and also exportsindicators and statistics for use in dissemination, such as tables and maps.

    These software are provided for free to CBMS-implementing LGUs.

    E. CBMS Poverty Maps

    The poverty map for each indicator is prepared at two levels. The first level is the provincialmap disaggregated by municipality while the second level is the provincial map by barangay.

    A simple color scheme is used for the poverty maps. Green, light green, pink and redrepresents the four ranges of data for each indicator. Each indicator, however, used a differentrange relative to the national data (Table 2). Color ranges used for the maps are common forall the data of all the provinces in this publication for comparison purposes.

    2 The NRDB was developed by Mr. Richard Alexander, a British volunteer who spent three years working for the Bohol EnvironmentManagement Office through the assistance of the Voluntary Service Overseas (vso.org.uk).

  • F. Limitations of the Data

    While observations are taken from the entire population, the user of the data presented in thisreport should bear in mind that due to some difficulties, the CBMS census could not be carried outin Silago, Southern Leyte; one barangay in Maasin City, also in Southern Leyte; and 4 barangays inMalungon, Sarangani. Data for some of the barangays in the following city/municipalities in Palawanwere also not available: Puerto Princesa City, Araceli, Balabac, Bataraza, Narra, Roxas, Taytay, andKalayaan.

    Estimates on poverty and subsistence incidence may also be affected by under- and/or over-reporting of income or reluctance on the part of the respondents to reveal their true levels ofincome. As in other surveys, the CBMS enumerators may also have encountered interview non-response and item non-response.

    It is indeed my great honor and pride that the Provincial Governmentof Dinagat Islands has finally come up with comprehensive results of thefirst Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) of its 7 municipalitiesand 100 barangays.

    In 2006, Dinagat Islands was once a part of the Province of Surigaodel Norte, which was ranked number 5 among the poorest provinces in thecountry. With the conviction to address the poverty situation in our youngprovince, the Provincial Government then initiated the implementation ofCBMS as our initial yet sure way of fighting poverty among Dinagatnons.

    Out of 21,274 households surveyed in 2008, 68.1% have incomebelow the poverty threshold and 54.5% have income below the foodthreshold. Water and sanitation is also a problem that needs to be addressedwith urgency and commitment by the LGUs and our partners. Mining is the major industry in the province, and wefeel that there are more local natural resources needed to be explored and to be developed to provide householdswith gainful sources of livelihood to increase their income. In support of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III’s job-creation agenda, the Provincial Government of Dinagat Islands will seriously work on the growth of our agriculture,fishery and eco-tourism industries in the province to make the islands predictable, reliable and efficient for investors.

    As the youngest province that needs to be nurtured, we are fostering stronger partnership with the privatesector and all stakeholders. We also solicit any form of assistance that is wholeheartedly offered to the people ofDinagat Islands to pursue poverty reduction efforts and improve their quality of life.

    This is indeed a great challenge for all of us - a challenge we will bravely take!

    Maraming Salamat Po!

    Faces of Poverty in Dinagat Islands

    POPULATIONDinagat Island had a total population of 96,779 in 21,274 householdsThe 2008 Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) survey covered the province’s seven municipalities and100 barangays. Among all the municipalities, San Jose is the largest in terms of population with 23.8% (23,051individuals) while Tubajon has the smallest with only 6.4% (6,216 individuals) of the province’s total population.

    Of the households, 5.2% experienced food shor tageDespite the high food poverty rate, a relatively small proportion of household suffered from hunger during the 3-month period prior to the survey. Provincial data showed that 5.2% of the households experienced food shortage.This means that about 5 in every 100 households suffered from hunger during the reference period.
