PREFACE
The Journal of Philippine Statistics (JPS) is a quarterly publication of
the National Statistics Office (NSO). It furnishes data users with statistical
information on the socioeconomic development of the country in accordance with
the NSO’s mission of providing timely, accurate, and reliable information as
bases for plans, policies and decisions, and as inputs to academic pursuits,
researches, and development projects.
The statistical series contained in this publication are updated for
continuity and for comparative analysis whenever possible. Tabular data usually
cover two or more periods for maximum comparability.
This issue presents the latest available statistics on population and
housing; labor and employment; travel and tourism; social welfare, and
community development; education and culture; health, nutrition and vital
statistics; and defense, crime and delinquency.
Featured in this issue is an update on the footwear industry which started
simply as a backyard trade in the then municipality of Marikina.
Most of the statistics shown here were taken from surveys and censuses
conducted by the NSO and other offices, as well as from administrative forms or
records compiled by various agencies. Acknowledgment, therefore, is extended
to all secondary data sources without whose cooperation and support, the
consolidation of information and the publication of this journal would not have
been possible.

Footwear Industry: An Update
dressed, handcrafted leather shoes for
medium to high-end users. Laguna is
known for its ladies dress and casual
synthetic leather shoes while Rizal is
famous for its slippers and sandals. PEZA
locators, on the other hand, are
manufacturing athletic or rubber shoes of
well-known brands such as Nike and
Tretorn.
According to the Board of
Investments (BOI), product coverage of the
industry includes leather footwear, which
are dress shoes, non-leather footwear,
sports footwear, slippers and sandals, and
parts of footwear, described as follows:
Leather footwear - includes
footwear with leather uppers and outer
soles of leather, rubber, plastic, wood,
cork, or other materials
Introduction
This journal presented a profile of
the shoe industry in the Philippines
sometime in the 1980’s. The following
discussion aims to give an update on the
footwear industry, its overall standing, its
problems, and certain opportunities.
Non-leather footwear - includes
footwear with uppers of rubber, plastic,
textile or other materials and outer soles of
rubber, plastic, wood, cork, or other
materials
Shoe-making began in Marikina
in 1887 through the pioneering efforts of
Don Laureano "Kapitan Moy" Guevarra,
assisted by Tiburcio Eustaquio, Ambrocio
Sta. Ines, and Gervacio Carlos. Marikina,
then, emerged as a town of shoemakers.
Sports
footwear
includes
footwear with uppers of leather, rubber,
plastic, textile or other
materials,
specifically for athletic or sports purposes
Slipper and sandals - includes
footwear with uppers of leather, rubber,
plastic, textile or other materials and outer
soles of leather, rubber, plastic, wood, cork
or other materials
Today, footwear manufacturers
are geographically dispersed in Metro
Manila, Laguna, Antipolo, Bulacan, Cebu
and in the Philippine Economic Zone
Authority (PEZA) areas like Cavite,
Bataan, Mactan, and Subic. Footwear
made in these places have their distinct
characteristics. For instance, shoes
manufactured in Marikina are mostly
Parts of footwear - includes
stiffeners, outer soles, uppers, gaiters,
shoe shanks, cleats, toe caps, rubber
straps, or similar articles.

Most of the manufacturers are
family-owned where the management is
handed down from generation to
generation. The enterprises range from
micro to medium scale industries and the
products are commonly for medium to
high-end markets. Many companies are
also
accepting
subcontracting
arrangements with department stores
and boutique owners. Factories of
popular local brands such as Chancellor,
Colours, Gibi, Figlia, Mendrez, Rusty
Lopez, and Valentino are found in
Marikina. Only a handful of companies
have ventured into export.
Raw materials used in footwear
manufacture are both local and imported.
Local raw materials are tanned leather
usually used in wrapping while imported
ones are synthetic leather and some
metal parts. Availability, quality, price and
time span of delivery are some of the
factors that concern raw materials. This
can affect the production and price of the
finished product. The major raw materials
used in footwear manufacturing process
are as follows:
• Upper (synthetic leather, tanned) and
upper lining (synthetic leather, tanned
leather)
• Chemicals and adhesives
• Nails, threads and buckles
• Heels, insole and outsole
• Cotton tape
• Welt and foam
• Leather dressing, shoe laces and
shanks
• Packaging and label
Local Demand.
Most of the
footwear manufacturers seem to be
contented with the local market for the
following reasons: (1) higher profit
margin, (2) lesser paper work, (3) lesser
people to deal with and (4) no pressure
JOURNAL OF PHILIPPINE STATISTICS
on the delivery time. Local markets rely on
direct selling, boutiques, and department
stores to sell their products. Few
enterprises have their own stores. The
industry’s highest production is during the
months of October, November and May.
This can be attributed to Christmas and
school opening seasons. The lowest is
during the month of July, caused by
clearance and inventory sales.
World Demand.
The export
performance of footwear manufacturers is
striving with the economic crisis and stiff
competition form other ASEAN nations.
Several exporters were able to get
licensing agreement with manufacturers of
branded shoes like Nike, Tretorn, Adidas,
Hush Puppies and Florshiem for children.
In order to promote Philippine footwear in
the world market, manufacturers or firms
participate in trade fairs, business
missions, and Internet or online brochures
and catalogues.
Incentives. Republic Act No. 9290,
otherwise known as the Footwear, Leather
Goods
and
Tannery
Industries
Development Act, grants incentives to
accredited footwear enterprises for a
maximum period of ten (10) years. Such
incentives are as follows:
• Zero duty on imported capital equipment
• Additional deduction of fifty percent
(50%) from gross income for the expense
incurred in training programs approved by
appropriate agency
• Inclusion, promotion, advertising, and
sale of locally manufactured finished
product in duty-free shops and
• Tax credits.
Firms can also register with the BOI
if their products are for export. Under
Book I of the Omnibus Investments Code,
BOI-registered enterprises are given a
number of incentives in the form of tax

The industry is facing some
challenges, with many firms closing or
folding up. In 2005, there were over 1,153
manufacturers
employing
16,600
personnel. However, as of 2009, there
were only 1,072 footwear-manufacturing
companies in the country, which employed
over 12,155 personnel. From 2005 to
2009, there was a 14.0 percent decline in
employment and a 7.0 percent decline in
the number of establishments in the
footwear Industry (Table 1).

Almost three-fourths of footwear
manufacturers are in Metro Manila and
CALABARZON
By location, 72.0 percent of
establishments manufacturing footwear
are located in the National Capital
Region (NCR) and CALABARZON with
36.0 percent apiece, mostly because of
the availability of the materials needed in
manufacturing such merchandise (Figure
1).

footwear manufacturers with an estimated
3,600 workers as of 2009 . The footwear
capital of Laguna, Liliw, is known for its
fashionable “home-made” style slippers
and shoes. The products are low-priced
shoes, slippers or sandals, generally for
the local market. The locators in PEZA, on
the other hand, are big manufacturers
owned by foreign investors or joint
ventures with Philippine companies. These
companies are all exporters and have
highly mechanized equipment (Table 2).
Footwear exports continue to dip
Time is ticking hard for the industry
as exports showed dips rather than
improvements. In 2003, footwear exports
amounted to US$45.96 million but declined
by more than US$11.0 or by 25.0 percent
in 2004 and dented further by more than
half in 2005. Despite improvements in the
succeeding years, recovery in terms of
export value may be far, as 2009 value
reached only US$23,442,648 (Table 3 and
Figure 2).

As of December 2010, the

Kapitan Moy (Sikap Mo Inc.), two of the
industry associations for the footwear
industry, has decreased. They now have
58 and 35 members from 68 and 70
members, respectively.
Footwear imports on steady decline
The CALABARZON-MIMAROPA
region (San Mateo-Rizal, Biñan and
Pagsanjan-Laguna) recorded some 384
A great volume of imports is from
China, which is at the same time the top
exporter in the world. This can be

and labor cost. However, the United

importer of footwear, is a third major
Philippine export partner.
the USA which brought in US $2.99 million
(12.7%) followed by Mexico (6.4%), and
France (3.9%), respectively (Table 4 and
Figure 4).
China remains top import partner
Imported Philippine footwear as
of 2009 was valued at US$43.15 million.
Lowest importation in the period under
review was that made in 2005 where a
total of US$16.58 million was reported
(Table 3 and Figure 3).
China shared 44.3 percent of total
Philippine footwear imports or US$19.11
million. Indonesia was on second with
14.6 percent, followed by Hong Kong
(10.7%), Vietnam (10.5%), and Singapore
(6.5%) (Table 5 and Figure 5).

population enumerated in institutional
living quarters or institution such as jails
or prisons, military camps, convents or
seminaries, mental hospitals, leprosaria,
and the like
Like the previous censuses, the
2007 Census of Population is designed
to take an inventory of the total
population in the Philippines and to
collect
information
about
their
characteristics. The census of population
is the source of information on the size
and distribution of the population as well
as information about the demographic,
social,
economic,
and
cultural
characteristics. These information are
vital for making rational plans and
Total population –- the sum of
household population and institutional
population.
Average household size –average number of persons who live in a
household computed as household
population divided by the corresponding
total number of households in that area
Sex ratio – ratio of males to
females in a given population expressed
as the number of males per 100 females

Barangay 24 (Poblacion) was the least
populated barangay (0.02%) (Table 1.1).
Median Age – age at which
exactly half of the population is younger

building
constructions refer to those proposed to
be constructed or construction work
started during the reference period and
not to construction work completed
during the reference period.

Offices of Local Building Officials (LBOs).
Hence, private building constructions
without approved building permits are not
included in the tabulation of data.

Section II - LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT
Labor Force Survey
January 2010
Labor force – the population 15
years old and over which contributes to
the production of goods and services in
the country; comprises the employed and
unemployed
Employed – persons in the labor
force who are reported as either at work
or with a job or business although not at
work; persons at work are those who did
some work, even for an hour during the
reference period
Unemployed – persons in the
labor force who have no job or business
during the reference period and are
reportedly looking for work; their desire to
work is sincere and they are, therefore,
serious about working; also included
are persons without a job or business
who are reportedly not looking for work
because of the belief that no work was
available or because of temporary
illness, bad weather, or other valid
reasons
Concepts and Definitions
The Labor Force Survey (LFS) is
a nationwide survey of households
conducted quarterly by the National
Statistics Office (NSO) to gather data on
demographic
and
socioeconomic
characteristics of the population. Data
presented are based on the preliminary
results of the January 2010 round of the
LFS.
Underemployed – employed
persons who express the desire to have
additional hours of work in their present
job or an additional job, or have a new
job with longer working hours
For comparative purposes, aside
from the January 2010 results, the
textual tables presented herein contain
final estimates of the survey conducted in
January 2009.
Labor force participation rate
(LFPR) – ratio of total labor force to the
total household population 15 years old
and over
The reference period used in the
survey is the past seven days preceding
the date of visit of the enumerator.
Employment rate – proportion of
employed persons to the total labor force
Unemployment rate – proportion of
unemployed persons to the total labor force
The concepts and definitions
used in the survey can be found in the
regular NSO – Integrated Survey of
Households (ISH) Bulletin. Some are
given below:
Underemployment rate – proportion
of underemployed persons to total employed
persons.

rate is 64.5 percent. This means that the
size of the labor force in January 2010
was approximately 38.8 million out of the
estimated 60.2 million population 15
years and older for that period.
Compared to the labor force participation
rate in January 2009 (63.2%), the
January 2010 rate is higher (Table 2.3).
Analysis of Tables
Employment rate remains stable at
92.7 percent
The number of employed persons
in January 2010 was estimated at 36.0
million increasing by 5.0 percent over last
year’s estimate of 34.3 million persons.
The employment rate estimated for
January 2010 was 92.7 percent. This
implies that nine in every 10 persons in
the labor force were employed in January
2010. The current figure is not
significantly different from the January
2009 rate which is 92.3 percent (Table
2.1).
NCR records the lowest employment
rate
Employment rates in the National
Capital
Region
(NCR)
(89.2%),
CALABARZON (90.5%) and Central
Luzon (91.0%) were lower than in all
other regions. As in previous LFS, the
NCR recorded the lowest employment
rate. In terms of the labor force
participation rate, the Autonomous
Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM)
(59.2%), Ilocos Region (60.9%), Central
Luzon (61.3%), NCR (62.8%), and
CALABARZON (63.8%) posted lower

persons were wage and salary workers.
Among the wage and salary workers,
more than one-third (33.6%) were ownaccount workers, and 10.6 percent
worked for private establishments.
Government workers or those working for
government corporations comprised only
8.2 percent of the total employed, while
5.9 percent were workers in private
households. Meanwhile, among the own
account workers, the self-employed
comprised the majority (29.4% of total
employed) (Table 2.2).
Seven in every ten employed work for
40 hours or more
Employed persons are classified
as either full-time workers or part-time
workers. Full-time workers are those who
work for 40 hours or more while part-time
workers work for less than 40 hours. In
January 2010, seven in every 10
employed persons (64.6%) worked for 40
hours or more, while part-time workers
were estimated at 34.2 percent of the
total employed (Table 2.2).
Number of underemployed persons
rose by 13.9 percent
Employed persons who express
the desire to have additional hours of
work in their present job or to have
additional job, or to have a new job with
longer working hours are considered
underemployed. The January 2010 LFS
placed the underemployment rate at 19.7
percent. This means that approximately
7.1 million employed persons were
underemployed in January 2010 as
against 6.2 million in the 2009 survey
round (Table 2.3).
More than half (57.0%) of the
total underemployed were reported as
visibly underemployed or working for less
than 40 hours during the reference week.
Those working for 40 hours or more
accounted for 41.3 percent of the total
underemployed.
Most
of
the
29
underemployed were working in the
agriculture sector (46.7%) and services
sector (39%). The underemployed in the
industry sector accounted for 14.3
percent (Table 2.3).
Unemployment
percent
rate
down
to
7.3
The unemployment rate in
January 2010 was estimated at 7.3
percent compared to 7.7 percent
recorded in January 2009. Among the
regions, the highest unemployment rate
was recorded in the NCR at 10.8
percent. The next highest rates were
posted in CALABARZON (9.5%) and
Central Luzon (9.0%).
The number of unemployed was
higher among males (64.6%) than
among females (35.4%). By age group,
for every 10 unemployed persons, five
(51.5%) belonged to age group 15-24
years while three (29.1%) were in the
age group 25-34.
Across
educational
groups,
among the unemployed, the high school
graduates comprised more than one-third
(46.7%), the college undergraduates
comprised about one-fifth (19.3%), while
the college graduates, 18.5 percent
(Table 2.3).
Labor Relations and
Concerns
The labor sector faces a lot of
legitimate concerns that need to be
addressed. Displaced workers left and
right, retrenchment, strikes and lockouts
and even closures of establishments are
just some of the bleak features in the
labor scenario. However, with the
determination of the current dispensation
to provide the push and the help, a more
encouraging atmosphere might be in
stead.

The Department of Labor and
Employment (DOLE) takes the lead in
formulating and directing the nation’s
labor policies and programs. Its mission
includes the promotion of social justice
and protection of human rights and
respect for human dignity in labor by
ensuring workers’ protection and welfare.
The department also aims to promote full
employment and manpower development
as well as to maintain industrial peace
through enhancement of workers’
participation in policymaking.
This section presents an overview
of the current labor condition in the
country. Data presented were derived
from the DOLE. Analyses were based on
first quarter 2009 and
first
quarter

Section III – TRAVEL AND TOURISM
Visitor Arrivals
to the Philippines
Second Quarter 2010
to realizing a better tourism scenario.
The year 2010 marks the final
year of the Medium-Term Philippine
Development Plan 2004-2010. Realizing
the potential to boost the country’s
economy the government takes a
strategic move to develop tourism as a
powerful economic growth engine in
sustainable manner.
This action plan taken by the
administration makes the national
tourism (1) market-product focused and
(2) destination focused. It also identifies
the 10 most attractive tourist segments
for the Philippines towards 2010, which
are the short-haul sightseeing and
shopping; long-haul mass comfort; longhaul backpacker; long-haul niche beach;
domestic, short-haul ecotourism; shorthaul beach lover; short-haul recreation;
meetings, incentives, conventions and
exhibitions (MICE); and Balikbayan
segments.
Every year, thousands of tourists and holiday
makers flock to this historic town commended as one
of the cleanest and most peaceful communities in the
country, as Lucban celebrates the SAN ISIDRO
PAHIYAS FESTIVAL - referred to by many as a fiesta
to end all fiestas. Decking the hall or decorating the
wall with "Kiping" and agricultural harvest is what
"PAYAS" or "PAHIYAS" literally means.
Destination focus requires the
tourist spots in the country to be
categorized according to the “Wow”
factor, available infrastructure, readiness
of existing tourism volume, and access
and other factors. Eight priority
destinations shall be classified into three
groups:
For
the
past
years,
the
government’s stance in developing a
more sustainable tourism industry has
certainly paid off. Not only has the
Philippines become one of the most
frequently visited tourist spots in Asia,
today’s revitalized industry also provides
additional jobs for Filipinos without
compromising the integrity of local
diversity and culture.
Major
destinations:
comprising
Cebu, Bohol, Camiguin, Palawan,
Manila, Tagaytay, and Davao as
potential major destinations
The Department of Tourism
(DOT) takes the lead in furthering the
position of the country as a favored travel
destination.
Along with other agencies
and organizations, it aims to break down
fundamental barriers to tourism growth
and works to minimize the impediments
Minor
destinations:
Vigan or
Laoag and Clark or Subic; and
Special
interest
destinations:
Baguio or Banaue, and Boracay
43
44
Based on the above definitions,
the following are included in the visitor
headcount:
♦ Aliens entering the country for a
temporary stay not exceeding one
year and for purposes other than
immigration, permanent residence or
employment for renumeration in the
country, and
♦ Filipino
nationals
or
overseas
Filipinos residing permanently abroad
who are on temporary stay in the
Philippines not exceeding one year.
These exclude overseas contract
workers.
For the second quarter (April to
June) of 2010, aggregate visitor arrivals
reached 837,760. This was 96,829
bigger compared to 740,931 arrivals
registered in the second quarter of 2009,
translated to an increase of 13.1 percent
(Table 3.1).
Asian visitors comprise more than
half of total visitor arrivals

prime movers of the Government’s Social
Insurance Program (SIP).
The Home Development Mutual
Fund (HDMF), more popularly known as
the Pag-IBIG Fund, established on June
11, 1978 by virtue of Presidential Decree
No. 1530 was an answer to the need for
a national savings program and an
affordable shelter financing for the
Filipino worker. Pag-IBIG is an acronym
which stands for Pagtutulungan sa
Kinabukasan: Ikaw, Bangko, Industria at
Gobyerno. To this day, the Pag-IBIG
Fund continues to harness these four
sectors of the society to work together
towards providing fund members with
adequate housing program through an
effective savings scheme.

Introduction
Analysis of Table
In keeping with the government's
various mass-based health and welfare
programs, the Government Service
Insurance System (GSIS) and the Social
Security System (SSS) continue to lead
and provide security protection for
workers in the public and private sectors.
GSIS membership up 3.2 percent
In the year 2007, membership of
the
GSIS

billion from PhP45.79 billion in 2006 or a
5.8 percent increase (Table 4.1).
(No update for GSIS membership)
Both the GSIS and the SSS
provide insurance and social security
benefits
to
members
and
their
dependents and extend financial support
to a wider range of economic
development projects. They have the
same primary objective of promoting the
welfare and security of employees and
their dependents through social security
and insurance program benefits. The
GSIS covers government employees
while the SSS that of the private sector,
as well as employers and self-employed
persons and their dependents. These

Natural and Man-made
Disasters: 2010
The Philippines, because of its
geographical location, is frequented by
natural disasters such as typhoons,
volcanic eruptions, tidal waves, floods,
droughts, and fires. As if these are not
enough, there have been occasions of
man-made disasters such as fire
incidents, vehicular accidents, and
epidemic or disease outbreak. These
almost
complete
a
scenario
of
destruction and damage to human lives
and
properties,
immense
human
suffering,
and
socio-economic
dislocation.
To address the problems brought
about by these disasters, the National
Disaster and Coordinating Council
(NDCC), under the Department of
National Defense (DND) spearheads
assistance and response programs for
the victims.
Analysis of Table
Disasters in 2009 rise by more than a
hundred percent
Incidents of disasters, both
natural and man-made rose to 460 in
2009 from only 228 in 2008 or by more
than a hundred percent. Figures for
deaths, injuries, and missing were all in
the upswing (Table 4.7).
Disasters claim lives and destroy
properties
The year 2010 saw a total of 460
disastrous incidents which claimed 377
lives, 650 injuries, and 81 missing
persons. Moreover, these wrought havoc
to 316,540 families or 1.51 million
persons. A total of 5,943 houses were
totally damaged and another 11,992
partially damaged. Damage wrought to
property was estimated at a cost of PhP
1.80 million (Table 4.7).
Man-made incidents comprise more
than half of total disasters
Of the total disasters reported,
that of man-made tolled 266 incidents
(57.8%) which resulted to 255 deaths,
injury to 587 and 62 missing persons.
Affected families numbered 9,876 and a
corresponding 47,390
persons. Total
cost of damage reached PhP138 million
(Table 4.7).

Education Indicators
Academic Years
2007-2009
The Department of Education is
the agency mandated to watch over the
pre-school, primary, and secondary
educational system of the country while
the CHED takes over the tertiary level
of instruction.
Analysis of Tables
Enrolment in tertiary
decreases by 1.1 percent
education
Higher education institutions in
the Philippines observed a 1.1 percent
decline in enrolment from 2.65 million
enrolees in Academic Year 2007-2008 to
2.63 million in AY 2008-2009.
Enrollees

business
administration and related courses
Introduction
There has always been an
evident link between poverty and
illiteracy. Many people are denied access
to basic education, life skills, and
livelihood training opportunities because
of the high cost of education. Children
work to help augment their family’s
economic survival. The lack of available
schools in communities deny Filipinos
access to their full potential. For this
reason the state continues to address the
situation
by
enhancing
the
accommodation of education seekers at
all levels. In 2009, the Commission on
Higher Education (CHED) adopted a
policy thrust aimed at broadening access
to higher education which includes, to
wit: provision of financial assistance to
poor but deserving tertiary students by
granting scholarships to some 57,566
beneficiaries with a total budget of
PhP796 million; promotion of students’
rights and welfare; and provision of
alternative modes of learning or acquiring
qualifications.

Academic Year
Licensure Examinations
2009
The Professional Regulation
Commission (PRC) is the government
agency that manages licensure and
monitors various professional practices in
the country. The PRC oversees stategiven licensure examinations for all
professions except law, which subsumes
under the Supreme Court.
65
The PRC has 42 professional
regulatory boards and one specialty
board.
These boards
exercise
administrative, quasi-legislative, and
quasi-judicial
powers
over
their
respective professions. Their functions
involve the preparation of licensure
examinations, determination of course
requirements, inspection of schools, and
the enforcement of a Code of Ethics for
the
practice
of
their
respective
professions.
Degree holders are required to
take state-given examinations to receive
appropriate licensure. Come the time
that these registered professionals must
renew
their
licenses,
government
requires from them proof of actual
practice and of continuing education.
Graduates in different fields of
study who passed the state-given
examinations and who are, therefore,
holders of valid licenses or certifications
to practice, acquire the status of
registered professionals.

Taguig City resilient to climate change,
and for being a youth leader in the
preservation of the environment.
The five group awardees were
Climate Change Congress of the
Philippines in Cagayan de Oro, led by
Archbishop Antonio J. Ledesma for
bringing the plight of the vulnerable
sectors of society most affected by
climate change before the Climate
Change Commission; GMA 7’s Born to

wildlife conservation and for heightening
environmental concerns through real
encounters in the wild and gripping
presentations of environmental issues;
Ms. Earth Philippines of Carousel
Productions for its concern in the
environment and actively promoting
environmental causes and preservation
and protection of Mother Earth with the
pageant winners and candidates; The
Philippine Daily Inquirer for being the
first local newspaper to use organic soybased ink that does not pollute the
environment, 100 percent recycled
newsprint and a resizing of the paper,
thus saving seven trees a day; and
Silliman University for being at the
forefront of the environmental movement
and for its academic initiatives in coastal
and marine conservation.
The ceremony was broadcast on
April 25, 2010 at Sining Gising over NBN

Section VI – HEALTH, NUTRITION
AND VITAL STATISTICS
Health and Vital Indicators
2010
of vital statistics comprises a system of
operations in which the registration of
vital events is an important component.
The system begins with the registration
followed by the processing and
controlling of vital records and ends with
the compilation and analysis of vital
statistics.
Under Commonwealth Act (CA)
591, the Bureau of Census, now the
National Statistics Office (NSO) is
mandated to generate general purpose
statistics and to carry out and administer
the Civil Registration Act.
Health may refer to the
soundness and general well-being of
body and mind. Securing good health for
people is one way of ensuring welfare
and development for the country as a
whole. It is, therefore, imperative upon
the government to make provisions and
invest in health welfare activities.
Introduction
The Department of Health (DOH)
is the principal health agency in the
Philippines. It is responsible for ensuring
access to basic public health services to
all Filipinos through the provision of
quality health care and regulation of
providers of health goods and services.
Vital statistics, on the other
hand, are derived from information
obtained at the time when the
occurrences of vital events and their
characteristics are inscribed in a civil
register.
Given the mandate, the DOH is
both a stakeholder in the health sector
and a policy and regulatory body for
health. As a major player, it is a technical
resource, a catalyst for health policy and
a political sponsor and advocate for
health issues.
Vital acts and events are the
births, deaths, fetal deaths, marriages, and
all such events that have something to do
with an individual's entrance and departure
from life together with the changes in civil
status that may occur to a person during
his lifetime. Recording of these events in
the civil register is known as vital or civil
registration and the resulting documents
are called vital records.
Furthermore, the DOH has an ongoing program that recruits physicians
and other health practitioners to join
government service and be fielded in
rural, hard-to-reach, and economically
underdeveloped areas.
On the other hand, the production

Fetal Deaths: 2007
Visayas with 1,052 reported fetal deaths
(12.8%).
Introduction
Fetal death refers to death prior
to the complete expulsion or extraction of
a product of conception from its mother,
irrespective of the duration of pregnancy;
the death is indicated by the fact that
after such separation, the fetus does not
breathe or show any other evidence of
life, such as beating of the heart,
pulsation of the umbilical cord, and
definite movement of voluntary muscles.
Number of fetal deaths decreases

Almost half of infant deaths occur
during the early neonatal ages
There were a total of 10,273

(Table 6.7).
Bacterial sepsis of newborn was
on top of the ten leading causes of infant
deaths as it recorded 3,506 deaths or
16.1 percent of the total. Three fifths
(2,131 or 60.8%) of those who died of the
disease were males.
On second and third rank were
respiratory distress of newborn (2,434 or
11.2%) and pneumonia (2,075 or 9.6%)
respectively.
The other causes of deaths that
landed on the top ten were: disorders
related to short gestation and low birth
weight, NEC (1,816 or 8.4%), congenital
malformations
of the heart (1,435 or
6.6%), congenital pneumonia (1,117 or

Section VII – DEFENSE, CRIME
AND DELINQUENCY
Crime Indicators
Second Quarter 2010
against national security, laws of the
state, public order, public interest, and
public morals, including drug-related
offenses and those committed by public
officers in the performance of their duty
as civil servants. Private crimes, on the
other hand, are those that afflict
individuals or persons directly but
endanger society on the whole, such as
crimes against persons (destruction of
life,
parricide,
murder,
homicide,
infanticide and abortion, and physical
injuries); personal liberty and security;
and crimes against property, chastity,
and honor.
Introduction
In measuring crime volume, a
distinct classification is used. Crimes are
classified into index and non-index
categories. Index crimes are those of
serious nature which occur with marked
frequency and regularity. Crimes against
persons and crimes against property
being normally reported to police
authorities exemplify index crimes. Nonindex crimes, on the other hand, are
those with no marked regularity, hence,
seldom find report in police files.
The
government
agency
mandated to enforce the law, to prevent
and control crimes, to maintain peace
and order, and to ensure public
safety
and internal security with the active
support of the community is the
Philippine National Police (PNP).
The PNP's collective effort to
address areas of priority, namely , the
campaigns against illegal drugs, illegal
gambling, terrorism, street
crimes,
kidnapping, bank robberies, hi-jacking,
carnapping, and those against wanted
persons and criminal gangs, as well as
the accounting of firearms, and
insurgency or communist terrorists find
substance in the data presented in the
following discussion.
Analysis of Tables
Crime volume wallops by more than
300.0 percent
A total of 85,627 crimes were
reported in the second quarter of 2010
against only 19,744 in the same period of
2009. Volume increased by more than 65
thousand incidents or by an alarming
332.7 percent. Solved crimes numbered
only 13,644 from the previous 9,617.
Efficiency recorded slid to only 15.9
The Revised Penal Code of 1990
classified crimes either as public or
private. Public crimes are those that
directly endanger the society and its
constituents such as those committed
83
84
percent from 48.7 percent. This was a
decrement of 32.8 percentage points
(Table 7.1).

Central Luzon reports 16.2 percent of
crimes
Across regions, Central Luzon
recorded the bulk of crimes committed,
13,856 for an equivalent 16.2 percent,
thus replacing the National Capital
Region (NCR) as the region with the
most number of crimes reported. NCR,
on second spot reported 12.7 percent of
the
total
or
10,914
crimes.
Other regions which reported more
crimes included Central Visayas (10.6%),
CALABARZON (9.7%), and Western
Visayas (7.3%). At the bottom was the
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
(ARMM) with a report of 385 (0.5%)
crimes and a corresponding efficiency of
8.8 percent (Table 7.1).
Index crimes soar
Total volume of index crimes went
up to 54,986 in the second quarter 2010
from only 11,565 in the same period in
2009. This was an increase of more than

Type of crim e
Index crimes were more prevalent
in Central Luzon than in other regions, as
it reported 13.8 percent share in the
second quarter of 2010 from only 10.0
percent share in 2009 second quarter.
NCR came close with 13.4 percent of the
crimes as it showed the highest
efficiency rate of 36.1 percent. On the
other hand, the ARMM reported the least
in both periods, 257 (0.5%) in the second
quarter of 2010 from 89 (0.8%) in the
same period in 2009.
Noticeable was the decline of
efficiency in solving crimes. Central
Luzon’s 39.6 percent went down
drastically to only 7.4 percent. NCR’s
68.4 percent in second quarter 2009 slid
to 36.1 percent. ARMM with minimal

By type of crime, crimes on
physical injury were the biggest with
19,121 incidents (81.2%). Murder was
second with 9.6 percent share, rape 5.1
percent, while the least went to homicide
at 4.1 percent.
Reports from the regions reflected
volume increases. It was in Central
Luzon where the bulk of these crimes
took place, 17.3 percent of the total.
CALABARZON with 11.4 percent came
next and NCR came on third with 9.6
percent. The ARMM had the least with a
report of 0.8 percent share (Table 7.3).

By
nomenclature,
non-index
crimes do not occur regularly, hence,
they number less than index crimes. A
huge increase in such crimes was
observed in the period under review, a
total of 30,641 crimes of this type was
reported in the second quarter 2010 from
only 8,179 in the same period in 2009 or
a dramatic increase of 274.6 percent.
Efficiency rates moved down to 20.8
percent from 58.5 percent (Table 7.2).

Type of crim e
Volume of crimes committed
against property grew by seven times in
the 2010 period-under-review, from
4,027 in the second quarter of 2009 to a
burst of 28,281 in the second quarter
2010. Majority of these crimes were
reported to be theft (68.2%) and the
other robbery (31.9%).
Central Visayas reported the
biggest crime volume of this kind, 4,622
86
(15.8%). At the cellar was ARMM with a
crime report of 45 cases (0.2%) from only
23 cases (0.2%) (Table 7.4).
Fire Incidence: 2009
The Bureau of Fire Protection
(BFP) is the agency concerned with the
prevention and investigation of firerelated crimes. It is primarily responsible
in enforcing the fire code and other
related laws such as preventing and
suppressing all destructive fires on
buildings, houses and other structures,
forests, land transportation vehicles,
equipment, ships or vessels docked or at
bay, petroleum installations, plane
crashes, and other similar incidents. In its
task of investigating incidences of fire
and their causes, the BFP is likewise
mandated to file proper fire-related
complaints with the city or provincial
prosecutor, when necessary.
