5 FOREWORD The official poverty monitoring system (PMS) in the Philippines relies mainly on family income and expenditure surveys. Information on other aspects of well-being is generally obtained from demographic and health surveys, national population and housing censuses, labor force survey, and others. However, these surveys and censuses are (i) too costly to be replicated frequently; (ii) conducted at different time periods, making it impossible to get a comprehensive profile of the different socio-demographic groups of interest at a specific point in time; and (iii) have sampling designs that do not usually correspond 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 delivering basic services, creates greater demand for data at the local level. The Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) seeks to address these gaps by providing data at the local level appropriate for diagnosing the cause and extent of local poverty, formulating appropriate policies and programs, identifying eligible beneficiaries for targeted programs, and assessing the impact of policies and programs. It also supports the decentralization process by capacitating the LGUs to collect, analyze, and use the data in local planning, budgeting, and program implementation to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs). This eighth volume of statistical tables and poverty maps of provinces and cities generated through the CBMS methodology represents part of a series of publications resulting from the collaboration 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 enjoying the fruits of their hard labor. The CBMS poverty maps will identify who and where the poor are as they provide a comprehensive picture of the different faces of poverty in different parts of the country. They will also aid in identifying the most pressing needs of the community, assist in prioritizing interventions to address these needs, and facilitate the targeting of programs for those who need the assistance most. This volume features the provinces of Albay and Marinduque and the cities of Balanga, Candon, Marikina, Paranaque and Valenzuela. Since 213, we have used mobile technology to fast-track the generation of CBMS results in order to serve as timely inputs in local development planning and budgeting. The CBMS Accelerated Poverty Profiling (APP) is an organized, systematic, and efficient use of the latest information and communication technology tools, and the standard CBMS instruments for data collection, processing, and poverty mapping and data management instruments. The work leading to the publication of this book owes much to the unwavering support and commitment of our partners both at the local and national levels. We have worked hand-in-hand with them in consolidating databases and validating our survey findings. And now, with their consent, we are sharing their data to a wide range of CBMS stakeholders all over the country indeed a glowing testament of their dedication to make their development planning processes more efficient and effective! We are grateful to all our partner LGUs, national government agencies, non-government organizations, donors and other development partners for making this possible. It is hoped that this publication will provide the necessary data to facilitate evidence-based decisionmaking toward improving local governance and reducing poverty and inequality in the country.

6 INTRODUCTION Considered a foremost legislation that ushered in a new era of local governance, the Local Government Code (LGC) of 1991 has paved the way not only for greater autonomy but also for increased expenditure responsibility and revenue authority of local government units. Since then, the local government units (LGUs) have assumed a greater role in local government management and service delivery. The devolution is substantial not only in the magnitude of responsibilities that were shifted to LGUs but also in the amount of resources at their disposal to 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 , the average IRA per year is P365.6 billion (see Table 1). Table 1. Internal Revenue Allotment of Local Government Units, TOTAL Year Ave. per year Source: DBM Amount (in P billion) , While experts agree that local governments are not awash with cash, the P billion worth of IRA that the LGUs have received over the 4-year period is certainly a big amount. This underscores the importance of making sure that LGUs are equipped with the right tools, systems, and procedures to ensure the effective use of these public financial resources. One way to do this is by providing them access to comprehensive socioeconomic data, on the basis of which they can craft their development plans and budgets. Statistical Issues and Concerns at the Subnational Level With decentralization, the types of data demanded by a wide range of users policymakers, program implementers, civil society, and others are changing. Data disaggregated to correspond to the different 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 also needed to identify eligible beneficiaries of different programs. In 25, 14 years after the LGC enactment, the Asian Development Bank-World Bank released a report highlighting statistical issues and concerns at the subnational level. It said: "The most comprehensive and consistent comparative subnational data is at the regional level although this is simply an administrative level of government that has no responsibilities for delivery of social services. More data is gradually becoming available at the provincial level, but not at lower levels, which are at the frontline of efforts to reduce poverty. 1 1 Decentralization in the Philippines: Strengthening Local Government Financing and Resource Management in the Short- Term, 25 (A joint document of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank). 1

7 Local Poverty Monitoring System Rise up to the Challenge Owing to still unresolved statistical issues and concerns at the subnational level, an increasing number of LGUs all over the country have taken the initiative to adopt and establish the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS). National government agencies have likewise recognized the value of CBMS as a cost-effective tool for various thematic concerns such as the Millenium Development Goals/Sustainable Development Goals, gender and development, Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM), and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA), Bottom- Up Budgeting (BUB), and migration and development, among others. The CBMS was developed in 1993 to fill in the necessary information for more evidence-based planning and program implementation and for monitoring the micro-level impacts of macro policies and shocks particularly on the most vulnerable groups of the population. CBMS is an organized process of collecting, processing, validating and use of data for various development concerns. It was designed as a system that can be used and sustained by LGUs over time and facilitates information sharing at each geopolitical level for purposes of better policymaking and program implementation. Since the early 2, the implementation and use of CBMS has been supported by policy issuances at the local and national levels. Also, the inclusion of CBMS in the list of projects that can be funded through the BUB funds is a recognition that CBMS is important in facilitating evidence-based decision-making. Some of the policy issuances are as follows: o DILG Memorandum Circular Issued in August 21, the circular enjoins all local chief executives to undertake local programs on poverty reduction and economic transformation and emphasized the need to designate Local Poverty Reduction Action Officers (LPRAOs) and to formulate a Local Poverty Reduction Action Plan (LPRAP). o NAPC En Banc Resolution No. 7 Issued in March 23, the resolution directs LGUs to adopt the 13 core local poverty indicators as the minimum set of community-based information for poverty diagnosis and planning at the local levels and integrate such information in their local poverty monitoring system and local level action plans and program. o DILG Memorandum Circular Issued in April 23, it provides policy guidelines for the adoption of the 13 core local poverty indicators for planning. The guidelines shall aid the LGUs in assessing and understanding poverty and its dimensions at the barangays, municipalities, cities and provinces with the end view of formulating an LPRAP and implementing the plans and programs to reduce poverty. o DILG Memorandum Circular Issued in November 24, the circular encourages LGUs to intensify efforts in implementing programs, projects and activities towards the achievement of the millennium development goals (MDGs). o NSCB Resolution No. 6, Series of 25 Issued in January 24, 25, the resolution recognizes the CBMS as a viable and cost efficient system that can be used to generate the Core Local Poverty Indicators (CLPIs) and ensure uniformity and standardization of CLPI databases of all LGUs. It further enjoined the NAPC, DILG, other government agencies and LGUs to coordinate with the CBMS International Network Coordinating Team towards the fastracking and full implementation of the CBMS. o League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP) Memorandum Circular Issued in June 26, enjoining all CBMS-implementing municipalities to adopt/sustain the adoption of the CBMS as a tool for local poverty diagnosis and ensure the incorporation of the MDG targets and utilization of CBMS data in the formulation of local development plans. o SDC Resolution No. 3, Series of 26 Issued on July 19, 26, the resolution adopts the CBMS as the prescribed monitoring tool for the generation of the Core Local Poverty Indicator Database. It further enjoined the NAPC, DILG, other government agencies and LGUs to coordinate with the CBMS Network Coordinating Team towards the fast-tracking and full implementation of the CBMS. o PhilHealth Board Resolution No. 982, S.27 In March 27, the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) adopted the CBMS as the principal source of data in identifying indigent families to be enrolled under the sponsorship program of the National Health Insurance 2

8 Program (NHIP). The Program is implemented in partnership with the local government units (LGUs) and PhilHealth. The LGU and the National Government through PhilHealth share the annual premium payment of P1,2 per indigent household to get enrolled. o League of Provinces of the Philippines (LPP) Resolution No Issued in January 28, 211, urging the Department of Social and Welfare Development (DSWD) and the Department of Health (DOH) to adopt the CBMS and other locally-developed poverty monitoring systems as its targeting system in identifying beneficiaries to the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) and the Philhealth Indigent Sponsored Program o DBM-DILG-DSWD-NAPC Joint Memorandum Circular No. 1, Series of 212 Issued on March 8, 212, the joint memorandum circular identifies the collection of relevant economic and social data such as those that can be obtained from CBMS, as one of the main components in empowering poor LGUs and in the bottom-up planning and budgeting approach. o DILG Memorandum Circular Issued on April 17, 212, the circular provides that the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund can be utilized for disaster prevention and mitigation projects including the implementation of a CBMS with CCA/DRRM indicators. o DILG Memorandum Circular Issued in August 1, 212, the circular enjoins all local chief executives to utilize the community-based monitoring system (CBMS) in planning and project development. It also recommends for the adoption of CBMS to coincide with the synchronized local planning and budgeting calendar and with the bottom up planning and budgeting preparation calendar. o DILG Memorandum Circular Issued in May 23, 216, the circular provides policy guidelines for the implementation of CBMS and capacity development projects on GAD and DRR-CCA under the FY 216 Bottom-Up Budgeting (BUB). The guidelines shall aid the LGUs for the efficient and effective execution of subproject components, monitoring, and reporting of projects under the BUB program. As of February 2, 217, CBMS is being implemented in 77 provinces (32 of which are implementing the system province-wide), 93 municipalities, and 79 cities, covering a total of 24,676 barangays. Data generated by CBMS have so far been used in diagnosing the nature and extent of poverty in their localities, identifying appropriate interventions, identifying eligible beneficiaries of poverty reduction programs, and monitoring the impact of some of these programs. Parallel with efforts to establish databanks at each geopolitical level, a national repository of CBMS data has also been established at the CBMS Network Office, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC). The national repository aims to facilitate data sharing across government agencies, the private sector, donor agencies, and other relevant stakeholders. Specifically, the national repository will (i) facilitate the access and use of the integrated CBMS database by national entities in their advocacy work with key decision makers, (ii) support government and non-government funding sources in strengthening evidence-based planning and monitoring and in aligning their interventions to national priorities, and (iii) facilitate the implementation of targeted programs. Concluding Remarks Public statistics will increasingly shape public agenda at the local level as more and more LGUs establish their own monitoring systems to make their development planning processes more efficient and effective. In this scenario, local poverty monitoring systems such as the CBMS will have an extremely important role to play. The country's experience with local-level poverty monitoring systems clearly demonstrates that there can be a comprehensive picture of the poverty situation. Very few, if any, national surveys collect information on the different 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. As the samples and the reference periods are different, there is no comprehensive picture of the poverty status of the population at any point in time. This is where CBMS can make a difference as it addresses these gaps through its set of core indicators relating to the different dimensions of poverty. 3

9 EXPLANATORY TEXT A. CBMS Core Indicators The statistical tables and poverty maps presented in this volume pertain to the CBMS Core Indicators (also known as Core Local Poverty Indicators 1 ), which were generated using the CBMS methodology. Box 1. Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) The CBMS is an organized way of collecting ongoing or recurring information at the local level to be used by local governments, national government agencies, non-government organization (NGOs), and civil society for planning, budgeting, and implementing local development programs, as well as for monitoring and evaluating their performance. It is a tool for improved local governance and democratic decision-making that promotes greater transparency and accountability in resource allocation. It involves the following steps: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 CBMS APP Track Advocacy/organization Data collection, GPS reading, and data transmission Data consolidation, database-building, and poverty mapping Data validation and community consultation Knowledge (database) management Plan formulation Dissemination, implementation, and monitoring The CBMS Core Indicators are a set of carefully selected indicators that capture the multiple dimensions of poverty. They define the basic criteria for attaining a decent quality of life and correspond 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 and order. 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 food thresholds used are presented in Table 2. 1 The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has issued Memorandum Circular (April 23) to set policy guidelines for the adoption of the 13 core local poverty indicators, for planning and Memoradum Circular (November 24) to encourage LGUs to intensify efforts toward the achievement of the millennium development goals (MDGs). The latter circular also enjoins LGUs to use monitoring systems such as MBN-CBIS, CBMS, IRAP, etc., to monitor and diagnose the nature and extent of poverty in their respective localities. CBMS was adopted by the DILG as the data collection and processing system for the CLPIMS which was the tool adopted to monitor the MDGs for LGUs. 4

One of the primary objectives of the CBMS is to generate data to diagnose the extent and causes of poverty, formulate appropriate plans and programs,identify eligible beneficiaries and assess the impacts of policies and programs. Data used in this report is a by-product of the CBMS implementation by the LGUs featured in this volume. In particular, primary data was generated using the CBMS Accelerated Poverty Profiling (APP) 2 tools including the CBMS Scan and PORTAL (using android gadgets and ICT for data collection), the CBMS StatSim (data processing) and Quantum GIS (QGIS) 3 for poverty mapping. Primary data collection was done through the conduct of a household census administered by trained local enumerators and field coordinators using the standard CBMS APP modules and instruments (household profile questionnaires and barangay profile questionnaires). Data from the census operations are transmitted and stored in a CBMS PORTAL and are likewise established at the databanks at the LGU-level. C. Authority of the CBMS Census In 25, the Philippine Statisical Authority (formerly National Statistical Coordination Board) has issued Resolution No. 6, which recognizes and enjoins support to the CBMS as a tool for strengthening the statistical system at the local level. It also directs the PSA Technical Staff to initiate and coordinate an 2 See CBMS APP details from the CBMS Network website at cbms-app 3 Since 213, the CBMS Mapping System under the CBMS PAPER and CBMS APP Tracks uses Quantum GIS (QGIS) 6

12 advocacy program for the adoption of the CBMS by the LGUs, through the Regional Statistical Coordination Committees (RSCCs), the technical arm of the Executive Board in the regions. The PSA has also approved the 215 CBMS Questionnaire (PSA Approval No.DILG154-1 and DILG-154-2). D. CBMS Census Operations All census operations were undertaken under the supervision of the CBMS Technical Working Groups (TWGs) at the City Levels. They identified the local personnel who were trained as enumerators and field coordinators. Technical assistance was provided by the PEP-CBMS Network Office and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). Training is mainly conducted at two levels. The first level training (Training of Trainors) is conducted for members of the TWGs. This is conducted by a pool of CBMS Accredited Trainers from the DILG. Meanwhile, a second level training (Training of Enumerators) is conducted for enumerators--usually composed of barangay health workers and students. Members of the TWG act as trainors in this training. E. Data Processing System The CBMS Statistics Simulator (CBMS STATSIM) was developed by the CBMS International Network Coordinating Team to process the data from the CBMS census. It is designed to automatically compute and generate tables containing the 13+1 core indicators of poverty, the MDG indicators, and DRRMrelated indicators, among others. Poverty maps are generated using the Quantum GIS (QGIS). QGIS is capable of creating and storing spatial (shapefiles) and non-spatial (texts and numbers) data as well as generating maps, reports and graphs ideal for presentation and analysis of poverty attributes in the community. This has significantly addressed the need for a simple yet powerful and free geographically-oriented database. These systems can be accessed and are being provided by the CBMS Network for free to CBMS APP implementing LGUs in the country. E. CBMS Poverty Maps The poverty map for each indicator is prepared at the province and/or city level. A simple color scheme is used for the poverty maps. Green, light green, pink and red represents the four ranges of data for each indicator. Shades of green indicate performance better than the province and/or city average while shades of red indicate performance worse than the province and/or city average. Each indicator, however, used a different range relative to the province and/or city data. Meanwhile, gray is used to indicate that the CBMS data for the particular LGU is not included and/or available. F. Dimensions of Poverty There are ten (1) dimensions of poverty being considered in CBMS namely, health, nutrition, housing, tenure, water, sanitation, education, income, job, and security. From the 13 core indicators, one indicator is selected to determine whether a household is poor in a particular dimension. The dimensions of poverty are presented in Table 3. G. Limitations of the Data Estimates on poverty and subsistence incidence may be affected by under-and/or over-reporting of income or reluctance on the part of the respondents to reveal their true levels of income. As in other censuses and surveys, the CBMS enumerators may also have encountered interview non-response and item non-response. 7

14 Republic of the Philippines CITY OF PARAÑAQUE Message I am pleased to extend warm greetings to the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) Network for providing free technical assistance -- from the data collection stage to the building of the CBMS database in cooperation with the Bureau of Local Government Development of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG-BLGD) to the institutionalization of the CBMS to generate baseline data for poverty diagnosis, monitoring, and ecological profiling. The City Government of Paranaque has just come up with the results of its first Community-Based Monitoring System comprising of 16 Barangays. The results represent different facets of poverty which will be used as basis for the preparation of our local development plans, investment programming and other purposes. Poverty is too critical an issue that everyone, irrespective of political affiliation and leaning, should be deeply concerned about its eradication. Effective poverty alleviation must respond to the needs of population groups with the view of improving the living standards of the people. There should be sufficient participation of the grassroots people in the identification and implementation of projects, and in the provision of greater opportunities for "bottom-up approach". This will not only increase their commitment to such program but also promote empowerment as well as sustainability. Congratulations to the CBMS Network on the upcoming publication of "The Many Faces of Poverty." Let us work together and embrace the challenges that the future holds! Maraming salamat po. EDWIN OLIVAREZ City Mayor 231

15 The Many Faces of Poverty in the City of Parañaque POPULATION The City of Parañaque has a total population of 37,811 covering 19,376 households The CBMS census in 216 covered all 16 barangays in the city. It has a total population of 37,811 where 49.6 percent are male and 5.4 percent are female in 19,376 households. Barangay BF Homes has the largest population with 46,169 members (or 15 %) in 14,697 households, followed by Barangay San Isidro with 45,77 members (or 14.6 %) in 15,128 households. HEALTH AND NUTRITION Two in every 1 children under the age of five died Around.2 percent of children under the age of 5 died during the reference period. This corresponds to a total of 5 child deaths among children, zero to four years old, in the city of Parañaque. Further, the estimate of child deaths among girls and boys is equal at.2 percent. Barangay Vitalez reported the highest proportion of child deaths among children zero to four years old at 3.7 percent, followed by Barangay La Huerta at.4 percent. Meanwhile, Barangay San Dionisio, with 1 cases, reported the highest number of child deaths. * The CBMS census covered 37,811 of the 216 registered population of 681,735 of the City of Parañaque. 232

16 Three pregnant women died due to pregnancy-related causes The results of the CBMS census in Parañaque revealed that 3 pregnant women aged died due to pregnancyrelated causes during the reference period. These maternal deaths were reported in Barangay San Antonio with 2 cases and Santo Niño with 1 case. Two in every 1 children aged zero to five years were malnourished About 2.2 percent or 697 children zero to five years old were classified as moderately or severely underweight in the city. This corresponds to 2 malnourished children for every 1 children, five years old and below. Malnutrition prevalence among boys at 2.1 percent was lower than girls at 2.4 percent. Barangay Baclaran recorded the highest prevalence of malnutrition at 14.6 percent, followed by San Isidro at 4.9 percent. San Isidro also recorded the highest number of malnourished children with 129 cases. HOUSING About 3.6 percent of households were living in makeshift housing while 9.9 percent were informal settlers The 216 CBMS data showed that about 4 in every 1 households in the city were living in makeshift housing. The highest proportion of households living in makeshift housing was observed in Barangay Marcelo Green Village at 9.9 percent which is equivalent to 42 households. This is followed by Don Galo at 9.4 percent and Sun Valley at 7.4 percent. Meanwhile, Barangay San Dionisio reported the highest number of households living in makeshift houses at 71 cases followed by San Antonio at 67 cases, and Sun Valley at 459 cases. In terms of tenure status, 1 in every 1 households in the city were considered as informal settlers. This corresponds to 1,845 informal settler households. Barangay Sun Valley reported the highest proportion of informal settler at 23.8 percent or 1,479 households.

Disaggregated data further revealed that no barangay in the city was "waterless". Meanwhile, about 1.1 percent of the households in Parañaque have no access to sanitary toilet facilities.

INCOME AND LIVELIHOOD Around 14 in every 1 households were living below the poverty threshold Around 13.8 percent of the households in the City of Parañaque were considered income poor which translates to around 14 in every 1 households with no sufficient income to satisfy their basic food and non-food needs. Barangay Santo Niño recorded the highest proportion of income poverty at 19 percent or 1,292 households. In terms of magnitude, Barangay San Antonio with a total of 2,321 households placed first while San Isidro with 2,62 households ranked second. About 9 in every 1 households have no sufficient income to satisfy their food needs The CBMS data also showed that 8.8 percent of the households in the city were living below the food threshold during the reference period.

Barangay Vitalez reported the highest proportion of crime victims at 1.1 percent or 18 cases. Among all the barangays, Don Bosco reported the highest number of crime victims with 135 cases followed by San Dionisio and San Isidro with 6 cases each. CBMS COMPOSITE INDEX Households in the City of Parañaque suffered from about one deprivation 2 on the average The city recorded a CBMS composite index (CCI) of.5. This means that, on the average, some households in the City of Parañaque were not able to meet the 13 basic needs and suffered from about one deprivation. For instance, households in BF Homes and San Antonio were not able to meet 1 of the 13 basic needs, on the average. 2 The deprivations are based on the 13 indicators: (1) children -4 years old who died; 2) women who d ied due to pregnancyrelated causes; (3) malnourished children -5 years old; (4) households living in makeshift housing; 5) households who are informal settlers; (6) households without access to safe water supply; (7) households without access to sanitary toilet facilities; (8) children 6-15 years old not in school; (9) households with income below the poverty threshold; (1) households with income below the food threshold; (11) households that experienced food shortage; (12) unemployment; and (13) victims of crime. A high er index would mean more deprivation and hence, worse condition for the households. 236
