FOREWORD

This report features the 2012 municipal and city level poverty estimates in the country as part of the
output of the Project on the Generation of the 2012 Small Area Estimates of Poverty, which is a
government-funded project implemented by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). It is a follow-up
study to the earlier projects of the former National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB, now part of
the PSA) on Poverty Mapping in the Philippines Project, the Intercensal Updating of Small Area
Poverty Estimates Project, and the Project on the Generation of 2006 and 2009 Small Area Estimates
of Poverty. These earlier projects were funded through the World Bank (WB) - Asia Europe Meeting
Trust Fund, WB Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building, Australian Agency for International
Development (AusAID) and the Philippine Government. These projects generated municipal and city
level poverty estimates for 2000, 2003, and 2006 and 2009 respectively, using small area estimation
(SAE) technique.

Similar to the earlier projects, the SAE technique used is the Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw (ELL), a
method developed by the WB wherein the survey and census data conducted on the same year are
combined to produce reliable poverty estimates at lower levels of geographic disaggregation. As in
the previous projects, the ELL method was modified to come up with estimates even during
intercensal years.

We would like to express our deepest appreciation to our Project Technical Resource Person, Dr. Zita
VJ. Albacea of the Philippine Statistical Research and Training Institute (PSRTI) for her valuable
guidance and assistance and to our Project’s Technical Adviser, Dr. Romulo A. Virola, for his
significant recommendations and active participation in the Project activities. We acknowledge their
untiring efforts in helping us with this Project, which will hopefully contribute to the improvement of the
Philippine Statistical System (PSS).

This report also highlights the validation exercises and consultations done with the local government
units, and provides the actual policy uses of the small area poverty estimates in the Philippines
emphasizing the relevance of the project outputs to national and local policymaking. More specifically,
the municipal and city level poverty estimates were used by several national and local government
agencies in their policymaking and program planning, e.g., the Department of Social Welfare and
Development’s (DSWD) use of the SAE of poverty as basis for the identification of areas for the Kapit-
Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan- Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-
CIDSS), the Pantawid Pamilya Program and the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP). It is hoped
that the results of this project will further help local communities, policymakers and program
implementers in the formulation of appropriate programs and improvements in targeting schemes
aimed at reducing poverty.

I. Introduction

Poverty reduction remains the overarching goal of the Philippine government. The main
vision of the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2011-2016 is to achieve rapid,
sustainable and inclusive growth that will generate employment opportunities and reduce
poverty. The PDP 2011-2016 Midterm Update further recognized the need for fine-
tuning strategies on poverty reduction to unleash the potential of all sectors in the areas
and communities where the poorest and most vulnerable are found. This is also in
consonance with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and its successor, the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which embodies specific targets and milestones
in eliminating extreme poverty worldwide. While MDG 1 aims to halve the poverty rate in
2015 from its baseline rate in 1990, the SDG 1 envisions eradicating extreme poverty for
all people everywhere by 2030. Recognizing that poverty reduction is a long-term
program that requires uninterrupted growth over a reasonable length of time, the
generation of more frequent, timely and relevant national and sub-national poverty
statistics are deemed critical inputs to achieve this objective.

Official poverty statistics in the country are generated by the former National Statistical
Coordination Board (NSCB), now part of the Philippine Statistics Authority1 (PSA), in
accordance with Executive Order (EO) No. 352, Designation of Statistical Activities that
will Generate Critical Data for Decision-making of the Government and Private Sector.
The official poverty estimation methodology is developed by the Technical Committee on
Poverty Statistics, which has a multi-sectoral representation consisting of noted experts
in poverty measurement coming from the academe, producers and users of poverty
statistics from both government and non-government organizations. Official poverty
statistics released by the PSA include national, regional and provincial poverty estimates
directly estimated from the triennial Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES).
Further, starting 2013, national poverty estimates are also generated using the results of
the Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS), which is conducted in years when the FIES
is not conducted. These poverty estimates are defined and estimated in line with
Republic Act (RA) 8425, the Social Reform and Poverty Alleviation Act, which refers to

The Philippine Statistics Authority was established on 12 September 2013 by virtue of Republic Act 10625,
otherwise known as the “Philippine Statistical Act of 2013”, which merged the major statistical agencies
engaged in primary data collection and compilation of secondary data, namely: National Statistics Office
(NSO); National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB); Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS); and Bureau
of Labor and Employment Statistics (BLES).

the poor as those families and individuals whose income fall below the poverty threshold
and who cannot afford to provide for their minimum basic needs in a sustained manner.

The increasing clamour for lower disaggregation of poverty statistics for better targeted
poverty reduction programs has been recognized by the former NSCB as it embarked on
a Poverty Mapping Project with funding assistance from the World Bank Asia Europe
Meeting (ASEM) Trust Fund in 2004. This Project made possible the release of 2000
poverty estimates for all the 1,622 municipalities and cities in the country through small
area estimation in 2005. Small area estimation is a statistical methodology that allows
the estimation at lower levels of disaggregation by combining information collected from
a survey with data from other sources such as the census. A variant of this methodology,
called the Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw (ELL) Method, was applied in the Project using
the 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH), 4th Round of the 2000 Labor Force
Survey (LFS) and 2000 FIES.

Recognizing the need to update these 2000 municipal and city level poverty estimates,
the former NSCB implemented the “Intercensal Updating of Small Area Poverty
Estimates Project” in 2006 through the World Bank Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity
Building (WB TFSCB). The study aimed to explore the possibility of generating reliable
2003 municipal and city level poverty estimates using a slight modification of the ELL
Methodology used in the earlier Project, but still using 2000 census data. The results of
these projects were utilized in a number of projects by the government and private
sector, including the identification of municipalities where household information for the
National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTSPR) of the
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will be collected. The NHTS-
PR serves as the DSWD guide in the identification and updating of their beneficiaries for
the flagship program of the government, called the Pantawid Pamilya Program.

The continuing demand for updated municipal and city level poverty estimates as well as
trend analysis on local level poverty estimates were further addressed by the former
NSCB, with funding assistance from Australian Government, WB and the national
government, by undertaking the project on the generation of the 2006 and 2009
municipal and city level poverty estimates. Furthermore, in 2014, the national
government recognized the need for sustainability and regular updating of these
estimates as it solely funded the project on the generation of the 2012 municipal and city
level poverty estimates. It is hoped that the results of this Project, like the earlier

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 2


initiatives of the former NSCB, will be a useful guide to local government units, policy
makers and program implementers in formulating/designing intervention programs aimed
at reducing poverty.

The clamour for sustaining the efforts for the generation of lower level disaggregation of
poverty statistics was recognized by the Philippine Statistical System. The Philippine
Statistical Development Program (PSDP) 2011-2017 and the Updated PSDP 2011-2017,
similar to the PSDP 2005-2010, reflected statistical programs and activities related to
SAE of poverty, i.e., regular generation of poverty statistics at the municipal and city
levels and improvement of the estimation methodology on city and municipal level
poverty statistics towards the adoption of an official methodology.

Sub-national statistics like the municipal and city level estimates were commonly
obtained using a model-based approach. Hence, the estimates from this approach are
based on certain assumptions which play vital role in the limitation of its use. Like other
estimates, these are presented with their measures of precision and reliability,
specifically their standard error and coefficient of variation. This is done to caution users
that this set of estimates is just one of the many possible estimates that could be
obtained and as these are not exact values but rather, most likely values. These
estimates are very useful in targeting the poor localities, especially if the estimates are
with small standard error and coefficient of variation.

Recognizing that some of the estimated poverty incidence of municipalities may have
overlapping confidence intervals with other municipalities, hence, it may not be accurate
to rank the cities and municipalities, , the estimates were grouped instead so that the
municipalities and cities within a group are more likely to have the same level of poverty
status. There are five groups identified which are referred to as (1) Level 1; (2) Level 2;
(3) Level 3; (4) Level 4; and (5) Level 5. It is deemed that those in Level 1 is the group of
municipalities and cities with low poverty estimates having estimated poverty incidence
of at most 20%. Those in Level 2 are municipalities and cities with estimated poverty
incidence greater than 20% but at most 40%. Level 3 are municipalities and cities with
poverty incidence greater than 40% but at most 60%; while Level 4 are municipalities
and cities with poverty incidence greater than 60% but at most 80%. The municipalities
and cities which need help the most, are those in Level 5 with poverty incidence greater
than 80%.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 3


Knowing to which group a specific municipality or city belongs is useful for national
planners in targeting the rightful beneficiaries of a poverty alleviation program. On the
other hand, local chief executives of the country’s municipalities and cities will have the
useful information describing poverty in their localities based on these estimates. In
terms of monitoring the performance of a municipality or city, its membership to a group
could be observed if there is a change in the grouping to where the municipality or city
belongs. A shift in the group where a municipality or city belongs, from a higher to lower
group in terms of poverty incidence, signals that the municipality or a city has improved
its poverty status. Such information on poverty dynamics is useful for both the national
and local executives in monitoring the performance of a municipality or city in relation to
their poverty alleviation programs or initiatives.

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


city with overlapping poverty estimates. This is the same practice observed in releasing
the official provincial poverty statistics wherein the PSA does not encourage ranking of
provinces based on point estimate of the poverty incidence and instead releases the
provinces by clusters based on the confidence intervals of the poverty incidence. It is
deemed that while the rank of the estimates could be used in monitoring the
performance of a municipality or city relative to others, it should be emphasized that the
observed difference might not be statistically significant . Likewise, there could be
observed changes in the estimates across time but those changes may not be declared
statistically significant. In such cases, it could be said that the change is not large
enough to indicate a significant difference based on the random sample used in the
estimation. Thus data users need to be aware of these technical matters in interpreting
data.

Also, it should be noted that municipal and city level poverty estimates are income-based
indicators. It is encouraged that other non-monetary based poverty related indicators be
also utilized in assessing the poverty situation in a locality. But in general, when used
appropriately, these small area estimates may serve as useful information in targeting
and monitoring the poor municipalities and cities in the country.

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


each region of the country will be made available.

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

The distribution of the 1,633 municipality and city level estimates of poverty incidence
among population in 2012 is presented in the following table and figure. On the average,
about 33.4% of municipalities and cities are classified in Level 1 or those with poverty
incidences of at most 20%. For Level 2, with poverty incidences between 20% and 40%,
about 38.9% of municipalities and cities are classified in this group. For Levels 3 and 4,
with poverty incidences between 40% and 60% and between 60% and 80%, about
21.4% and 6.1% of municipalities and cities belong to these groups, respectively. On the
extreme end of distribution, which is Level 5 consisting of municipalities and cities with
poverty incidences greater than 80%, about 0.3% or five municipalities are classified in
this group. The municipalities which belong to Level 5 are found in the Autonomous
Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM); two of which (Datu Saudi-Ampatuan and Talayan)
are in the Province of Maguindanao and the other three (Bacolod-kalawi, Lumbayanaque
and Piagapo) are in the Province of Lanao del Sur. It may be noted that on the average,
eight out of every 10 residents of any of these five municipalities are considered poor. In
2012, the municipality with the highest poverty incidence among population is the
Municipality of Bacolod-Kalawi in the Province of Lanao del Sur with poverty incidence of
84.8%. This is a reliable estimate since the estimate’s coefficient of variation is only
6.7%.
The area graph in Figure 1 shows that one-third of all the municipalities and cities in the
country are in Level 1. In terms of count, this means that there are 545 municipalities and
cities categorized in the Level 1.

For year 2009, the distribution of the poverty incidence estimates for the 1,634
municipalities and cities is presented in Table 2 and Figure 2. On the average, about
25.6% of municipalities and cities are classified in Level 1 or those with poverty
incidences of at most 20%. For Level 2, with poverty incidences between 20% and 40%,
about 38.4% of municipalities and cities are classified in this group. For Levels 3 and 4,
with poverty incidences between 40% and 60% and between 60% and 80%, about
32.1% and 3.9% of municipalities and cities belong to these groups, respectively. It is
worth noting that there was no municipality or city that was classified in Level 5. The
poorest municipality in 2009, which is the Municipality of Siayan in the Province of
Zamboanga del Norte, has a poverty incidence estimate of 79.9% with coefficient of
variation of 5.63%. This classified the municipality in Level 4.

For the year 2006, the distribution of the 1,628 municipality or city level estimates of
poverty incidence among population is presented Table 3 and Figure 3. On the average,
about 21.9% of municipalities and cities are classified in Level 1 or those with poverty
incidences of at most 20%. For Level 2, with poverty incidences between 20% and 40%,
about 44.0% of municipalities and cities are classified in this group. For Levels 3 and 4,
with poverty incidences between 40% and 60% and between 60% and 80%, about
29.7% and 4.3% of municipalities and cities belong to these groups, respectively. Similar
in 2009, there were no municipalities or cities that were classified in Level 5. The bulk of
the estimates are within the range of 21% to 60% which classified most of the

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 6


municipalities and cities in either Levels 2 or 3. There was a total of 1,201 municipalities
and cities in these two levels. The municipality with the highest poverty incidence among
population is the Municipality of San Andres in the Province of Quezon with poverty
incidence of 78%. This is a reliable estimate since the estimate’s coefficient of variation
is only 8.17%. With this measure of poverty incidence, the Municipality of San Andres is
classified in Level 4.

Comparing graphically the distributions of the estimates across the years from 2006 to
2012 (see figure below) indicates that there is a trend for the shapes to shift to the left
which means having more municipalities and cities on the lower level of poverty in 2012
compared to 2006 and 2009. The percentage of municipalities classified in Level 5
remains zero for two years. Also, there is an increase in the percentage of least poor
municipalities and cities or those in Level 1 from 2006 to 2012. However, a decrease in
the percentage of municipalities and cities in Level 2 from 2006 to 2009 and 2012 was
observed.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 7
The poverty map at the municipal and city level estimates by levels also illustrate the
same observations as presented in the graphs shown above. (Please refer to page 15
for the poverty maps as Figure 5.) The municipalities and cities clustered on this
classification and are represented by the same color indicate similarities in the groupings
across the years. It could be noticed that there are more green-shaded areas in Luzon
for the year 2012 compared to the other two years. This indicates that the poverty
incidences in the municipalities and cities in Luzon are declining which supports the
observation of having more municipalities and cities classified in Level 1. Although there
is still a municipality in CAR that is shaded orange indicating its classification as Level 4.

In the case of Visayas, there are less yellow shaded areas in the year 2012 and
additional green-shaded areas could be observed indicating that the poverty condition of
the municipalities and cities in the Visayas are improving. Orange-shaded municipalities
are sparsely found in the Visayas area and specifically they are found in Region VIII.
However, there are more orange-shaded regions or those in Level 4 that are found in the
Mindanao area. This indicates that the poverty incidences of the municipalities in
Mindanao are increasing showing that the condition of the people in Mindanao is
worsening through time. Also, it is only in 2012 where there are municipalities which are
in red-shaded areas and are classified in Level 5.

The 40 poorest municipalities in the year 2012 have estimated poverty incidences from
69.8 to 84.8 with an average of 75.03 which means that 75 people for every 100
residents of these municipalities are said to be in poverty. Five of these 40 municipalities
are in Level 5 while the rest are in Level 4. In terms of geographical location, Table 4
shows that majority of them are found in ARMM and specifically from the Provinces of
Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao. Out of the six regions where these forty poorest
municipalities could be found, four of them are found in Mindanao area, there is one
region each for Luzon and Visayas. Also, only two of these 40 poorest municipalities are
found in provinces outside Mindanao. Thus, the poorest municipalities are mostly found
in Mindanao. All the estimates for these forty municipalities are with coefficients of
variation at most 15%. Hence, the estimates are with acceptable measures of reliability.

Focusing on the five municipalities classified under Level 5, the poorest level, Table 5
shows the poverty incidence estimates of these municipalities in years 2006 and 2009.
Note that their poverty conditions in years 2006 and 2009 are not severe and they were
classified in lower poverty levels. However, the estimates in 2006 have to be used with
caution as three of the estimates have coefficients of variation greater than 20%. (The
estimates are marked with *). Comparing only the estimates in 2009 and 2012, there are
significant increases in poverty incidences of these five municipalities resulting to a jump
in poverty level from Level 2 or 3 to Level 5. This observation indicates that indeed the
conditions of these five municipalities deteriorated in 2012.

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

In the past releases of the municipal and city level poverty estimates, various government
agencies have demonstrated actual policy uses of these estimates. Given the relevance and
importance of these estimates for targeting beneficiaries of programs/projects, policy
formulation and planning, and poverty monitoring, the PSA responds to the need for more
updated poverty statistics. The updated municipal and city level poverty estimates for 2006,
2009 and 2012 have likewise exhibited actual policy uses.

A list of the actual policy uses of the 2006, 2009 and 2012 municipal and city level poverty
estimates has been compiled below to serve as reference for other policy- and decision-
makers, and program implementers.

A. Policy Formulation, Planning and Monitoring

1. The 2012 SAE of poverty was used by the Municipality of Nabas in Aklan in the
development of municipal economic profile and local planning in the area. The poverty
estimates served as basis for formulating poverty reduction program in the area.

2. The Provincial Government of Negros Occidental used the SAE of Poverty for the
development of provincial economic profile. The poverty estimates served as basis for
local planning on poverty reduction in the area.

3. The Provincial Government of Pangasinan used the 2006, 2009 and 2012 small area
estimates of poverty in the assessment of the progress of municipalities in their
implementation of poverty reduction programs. The SAE estimates were also included
in their provincial socio-economic profile.

4. The La Union Provincial Government used the 2006, 2009 and 2012 estimates in the
assessment of the progress of municipalities in their implementation of poverty
reduction programs. The PSA RSSO I has also been requested to present the
estimates during the La Union Anti-Poverty Summit (Poverty Diagnostic and Anti-
Poverty Program Tagging Planning Workshop). The objective of the summit is to
identify the causative factors behind the poverty situation in the province as basis for
the formulation of a more focused 5-Year Anti-Poverty Plan.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 11


5. The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Regional Office I used the
2006, 2009 and 2012 estimates as inputs of the Regional Development Council in the
annual selection of the Best LGU Poverty Program Implementer at the municipal level.

6. The NEDA/Regional Development Council in CAR used SAE in preparing the profile
and situationer of the BLISTT areas (Baguio, La Trinidad, Itogon, Sablan, Tuba and
Tublay) during the BLISTT master planning activity. In the presentation and analysis of
the region's poverty and macro-economy situationer, the SAE is used in identifying
areas needing poverty reduction programs.

B. Targeting Beneficiaries of Programs/Projects

1. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in Western Visayas used
the SAE results for the Phase II of the Pantawid Pamilyang Piipino Program (4P’s) in
Western Visayas.

2. DSWD-CAR used the SAE as a guide for the 2nd round of the National Household
Targeting System (NHTS) operations. When DSWD researchers were also tasked to
prepare the provincial Social Protection Development Report (SPDR), the SAE of
poverty statistics were suggested to be included in the list of criteria in lieu of the
regional poverty data in order to come up with a better picture of "poverty" in the
locality and for better risk and vulnerability assessment.

3. The Department of Agriculture (DA) used the SAE in the Panay Island Sustainable
Agricultural Upland Development Project. The poverty estimates shall serve as basis
to determine recipients of the projects to be undertaken in 2016 to 2020 in the pilot
communities in the Municipalities of Alimodian in Iloilo, Tapaz and Jamindan in Capiz,
Libacao in Aklan and Patnongon in Antique. The project addresses the upland
communities’ need for nutritious and healthy food by building the capability of people in
implementing upland agricultural and forest development programs.

4. The DA also used the SAE for determining top priority LGUs in Region VI as recipients
of the Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP) funded by World Bank in
partnership with the LGUs and the private sector. It is a six-year (6) project designed to
establish the government platform for a modern, climate-smart and market-oriented
agri-fishery sector.

IV. Conclusions and Recommendations:

A. Technical

1. Using the modified ELL methodology, poverty statistics were generated for all
municipalities in the country where 1,425 out of 1,633 (87.3%) city and municipal level
estimates for 2012 are with acceptable measure of reliability or have coefficient of
variation (CV) not greater than 20 percent. Thus, the possibility of generating municipal
and city level statistics was again shown to hold true.

2. In addition to survey and census data, the following information were initially
considered in the pool of possible predictors:

a. Presence or absence of airport in the province;


b. Presence or absence of malls (i.e., Shoemart, Gaisano, Ayala and Robinson’s) in
the municipality;
c. Presence or absence of Jollibee in the municipality;
d. Percent of households with unpaid family worker in the barangay; and
e. Average number of unpaid family worker.

However, none of these indicators entered the final model of the regions. There may
be a need to reconstruct these variables, e.g. number of Jollibee stores instead of
presence or absence in the municipality. Or one can explore other variables that may
have significant association with income, such as migration and tourism-related
variables.

3. It may be noted that the adjusted R-square provides the information on how much of
the variation is explained by the model taking into consideration the number of
variables. Hence, we would want a high adjusted R-square. However, it may be
observed from the table below that the adjusted R-square for some of the regions were
relatively low, e.g., 33.4 for the National Capital Region (NCR). These were based on
the model derived upon the adoption of the Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw (ELL)
Methodology, which made use of the multiple linear regression analysis. In view of
this, the use of alternative forms of the model, e.g., assuming a Poisson distribution in
estimating income may be explored to further improve the models and ultimately the

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 14


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

B. For the PSA and the PSS

1. Cognizant of the importance of small area estimates of poverty for policymaking and
targeting, it is important that conduct of exercises and discussion towards the adoption of
an official methodology for estimating municipal and city level poverty estimates be
undertaken soon. And this is where the Technical Committee on Poverty Statistics (TC
PovStat) and the members of the PSA Board can play crucial parts, particularly in
providing valuable inputs, reviewing and approving the methodology for adoption and
implementation.

2. Also, it is crucial that statistical capacity building among the producers, users and the
providers of statistics be continuously done to ensure that these poverty statistics
remains to be relevant and serve as useful input to evidence-based decision-making at
the national and local government units, as well as, the private sector.

3. Strong manpower and financial support would ensure regular updating of the estimates
and maximized use of these poverty statistics and resources.

4. More subnational dissemination fora on the small area estimates of poverty should be
conducted using user-friendly communication tools such as infographics.

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

6. Small area estimation techniques should be used to generate lower level disaggregation
of other key indicators produced in the Philippine Statistical System.

7. Validation of city and municipal poverty estimates should have been conducted in areas
with large deterioration of poverty in order to personally assess the poverty condition on
the ground. For instance, the poverty deterioration from 2009 to 2012 for the 5 poorest
municipalities in the country, which are located in ARMM, should have been validated.

8. While a number of local government units have already made use of the SAE of poverty
estimates in local policymaking and program planning, there are still areas which have
not demonstrated actual policy uses of the SAE. Hence, it is recommended that future
dissemination fora be conducted in these regions.

A. Definition of Terms

1. Poor – Based on Republic Act 8425, otherwise known as Social Reform and Poverty
Alleviation Act, dated 11 December 1997, the poor refers to individuals and families
whose income fall below the poverty threshold as defined by the government and/or
those that cannot afford in a sustained manner to provide their basic needs of food,
health, education, housing and other amenities of life. It may be estimated in terms of
percentages (poverty incidence) and total number of poor families (magnitude of poor
families).

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


to meet the basic food and non-food requirements. Basic food requirements are
currently based on 100% adequacy for the Recommended Energy and Nutrient Intake
(RENI) for protein and energy equivalent to an average of 2000 kilocalories per capita,
and 80% adequacy for other nutrients. On the other hand, basic non-food
requirements are indirectly estimated by obtaining the ratio of food to total basic
expenditures from a reference group of families, to cover expenditure on: 1) clothing
and footwear; 2) housing; 3) fuel, light, water; 4) maintenance and minor repairs; 5)
rental of occupied dwelling units; 6) medical care; 7) education; 8) transportation and
communication; 9) non-durable furnishings; 10) household operations; and 11)
personal care & effects. Mathematically, poverty threshold is computed as:

Food Expenditure is actual food expenditure of families within the +/- ten percentile of
the food threshold while Total Basic Expenditure is total expenditures of families within
the +/- ten percentile of the food threshold.

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


income/expenditure less than the per capita poverty threshold to the total number of
families/individuals. Poverty incidence (usually expressed in percent) is estimated as
ratio of the number of families/individuals with per capita annual income/expenditure
less than the per capita poverty threshold to the total number of families/individuals.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 19


4. Standard Error (SE) – a measure of the precision of the estimate. SE is inversely
proportional to the sample size, that is, the larger the sample size, the smaller the
standard error.

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


expressed in percent) is estimated as the ratio of the standard deviation/error relative
to the mean. Smaller CV of an estimate reflects smaller variability between repeated
measures and thus, indicates a more reliable or consistent measurement.

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


surrounding an estimate. The CI provides an interval estimate of the true mean, i.e.,
the true value of the parameter will fall within the range. The CI is computed using the
sample mean and standard error; the wider the interval, the more caution is required
when using the estimated sample mean.

B. Methodology

This section presents a general description on small area estimation following the Elbers,
Lanjouw and Lanjouw (ELL) methodology implemented in the Philippines for the intercensal
year 2012 using the PovMap software. As the methodology used in this updating is similar
to the previous poverty mapping project undertaken by the former NSCB, up to a certain
extent, some parts of this section are lifted directly from the previous Estimation of Local
Poverty in the Philippines report.

1. Background

In this study, the main consideration is to identify local areas that need to be prioritized in
poverty alleviation programs. These areas, which have uncontained pockets of poverty, are
often sought through the use of nationwide survey data that provide information on poverty
indicators. These surveys usually have a great deal of information, such as income and
expenditure, but have limited sample size that can only provide reliable estimates at larger
geographic disaggregation such as regions, but not at smaller geographic level such as
provinces or municipalities or cities. The census, on the other hand, has complete coverage
and therefore can produce statistics at smaller geographic levels. However, the census

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 20


usually has limited information and does not contain data on income and expenditure, which
are the variables usually needed as inputs in poverty estimation.

A solution to this problem is the use of small area estimation (SAE) technique. There are
numerous SAE techniques that can actually be used to generate statistics at the local area.
One of these techniques is a methodology developed by Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw
(ELL). Such methodology requires the use of census and survey data sets conducted on the
same year. For the case of the Philippines, the use of ELL for poverty estimation started in
the year 2000. Consequently, a Poverty Mapping Project implemented by the former NSCB
in 2005 with funding assistance from the World Bank, used the ELL method to generate the
municipal and city level poverty statistics for 2000. The project made use of the survey and
census data sets that were all gathered in the same year, 2000, as required in the
methodology. More so, the methodology in the project made use of a single regression
model2 for the whole country to predict the family income per capita in logarithmic form.

An update of the 2000 municipal and city level poverty estimates was again generated by
the former NSCB with funding assistance from the WB. This time, however, the
methodology is slightly different from the previous project since municipal and city level
poverty estimates were generated for 2003, a year when there was no census and only a
nationwide survey was conducted, which is the usual source of poverty statistics. Thus, in
updating the small area poverty estimates from the census year 2000 to the intercensal year
2003, a slightly different approach was used.

The information from the 2003 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), 2004 January
Labor Force Survey (LFS) and 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) were
combined to estimate poverty incidence at the municipal and city levels. Statistical
regression is again used to predict per capita family income, expressed in natural
logarithmic form Y, using explanatory variables, which are denoted as Xi’s.

Similar with the 2000 poverty mapping project, X can be classified into two types: the
survey-obtainable variables, at the household or individual level (e.g., educational
attainment of household head); and the census-derivable location variables, which
correspond to barangay or municipal means (e.g. average family size in the barangay). It is

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

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 21


important that the X’s used in modelling should be comparable both in the survey and the
census. In general, comparability means that X has the same definition in both survey and
census.

However, in the 2000 poverty mapping project, comparability assessment was more
straightforward because the data sets used (i.e., FIES, LFS and CPH) have the same
reference period: the year 2000. Selection of survey-obtainable variables was done by
examining the survey and census questionnaires to identify which questions elicit equivalent
information. In several cases, equivalence was achieved by collapsing some categories of
answers. When common variables had been identified, the appropriate summary statistics
were compared for the survey and the census data.

It is ideal that the summary statistics for the census data be within the confidence interval for
the survey. Comparability assessment is not required for the case of location-effect variables
because these are essentially sourced from the census, which were only merged with the
survey; and as long as the geographic configurations between survey and census are the
same, this will be consistent.

Assessing comparability in the case of updating small area poverty statistics for non-census
years, however, requires more attention. It should be noted that the survey data were
conducted in 2003 while census data were obtained in 2000, and the goal is to come up with
2003 poverty statistics at the small area level. Hence, there is a time component that should
be taken into consideration. Using the same methodology as in the 2000 poverty mapping
project will result to ambiguity since such procedure captures relationship between Y and X,
through regression modelling using 2003 survey information but fitting the model using 2000
census data, which is of a different reference period.

This was the same concern in the generation of 2006 and 2009 municipal and city level
poverty estimates, which used the 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) and 2007
Population Census, respectively, since 2006 and 2009 are non-census years like 2003.
Furthermore in this project, as 2012 is again not a census year, the same technique was
implemented, this time using the 2010 CPH data. To remedy this problem, a solution is to
use or redefine variables so that the X’s will not be affected by time. Hence, in the 2003,
2006, 2009 and 2012 SAE on poverty, variables that were utilized were limited to those that
were considered to be time invariant variables.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 22


For reference years 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2012, different SAE of poverty regression models
were developed. However, it should be noted that the same ELL methodology was
implemented across the reference years to generate small area poverty estimates. The
models may be different but the methodology utilized is the same. Using the standard errors
generated, one can compare the estimates. However, it must be noted that in 2011,
refinements in the computation of the poverty threshold was adopted and back estimates
were only generated and utilized in the project starting with the 2006 SAE on poverty.
Hence, the poverty statistics series for municipalities and cities that are considered
comparable are for 2006, 2009 and 2012.

2. Data Sources

In the generation of the 2012 municipal and city level poverty estimates in the Philippines
using the modified ELL methodology, the following data sets were used:

2012 Official Provincial Poverty Thresholds (disaggregated by urban and rural areas).
These were generated by the former NSCB for each of the provinces, urban and rural areas,
based on the methodology per NSCB Resolution No. 9, Series of 2011 - Approving the
Refinements in the Official Poverty Estimation Methodology.

2012 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) 3


The FIES is a nationwide survey conducted by the former National Statistics Office (also
now part of the Philippine Statistics Authority) every three years, which consists of 70 pages
of information on household income and expenditure, as well as, some socio-demographic
characteristics of the family. It is the main source of income and expenditure data in the
estimation of official poverty statistics in the country. The FIES is conducted in two rounds,
i.e., the first visit held in July as a rider to the July round of the LFS while the second visit is
in January of the following year as a rider to the January round of the LFS. The 2012 FIES is
a regular module of the Integrated Survey of Households (ISH), which contains 40,056
sample households, distributed across the 17 regions of the country.

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

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 23


January 2013 Labor Force Survey (LFS)
The LFS is another regular module of the ISH of the former NSO conducted every quarter of
the year. It collects data on the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of
population 15 years old and over and the major source of official employment data of the
country. The FIES is actually a rider to the LFS. Hence, most, if not all, of sample
households in the 2012 FIES are also available in the January 2013 LFS.

2010 Census of Population and Housing (CPH)


The CPH is a complete enumeration of the population in the country conducted every ten
years. It is a vital source of information on the composition of the population and
characteristics of their housing units. It covers all areas under the jurisdiction of the
Philippines as defined by the 1987 Constitution.

The table below summarizes the data sources used in the generation of the 2012
Municipality and City level poverty estimates:

3. Implementation of Methodology

This section presents a general perspective on small area estimation following the ELL
method implemented in the Philippines for the intercensal year 2012. As the methodology
used in this updating is similar to the previous poverty mapping project up to a certain extent,

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 24


most part of this section are lifted directly from the previous Estimation of Local Poverty in
the Philippines (2005) report.

a. Introduction/Background

In introducing the concept of small area estimation, we consider the thrust of the national
government of alleviating the poverty status of the country. To maximize the effect of any
poverty alleviation program, there are a number of factors that have to be carefully taken into
account before implementation. One of the most common considerations is the proper
identification of priority areas. Answers to questions such as which areas need most help
and assistance from the government are often sought from national surveys that provide
information on poverty indicators. Needless to say, users want surveys to have as much
coverage as that of a census. However, this is not usually feasible because survey
coverage is directly proportional to the amount of administrative and financial resources
required to carry out the survey. Thus, surveys being incomplete enumeration of all
population units, have limitations and sampling errors. Due to the sampling design, surveys
may not be representative at the province and district level, such that estimates may tend to
be biased. In this context, survey domains provide information on the level of disaggregation
of direct estimates that can be derived from a survey which are theoretically reliable. For
example, the domain of the 2012 FIES conducted by former NSO corresponds to the
geographic region. Therefore, it is not surprising to get relatively high standard errors for
some poverty estimates at the provincial level. This could imply that the sample is not
representative at that level, and so, the estimates may tend to be biased. Further, analogous
estimates at the municipal and city level are expected to be less reliable should these be
generated directly from the survey. In this example, the sets of geographic provinces and
municipalities are referred to as statistical small areas. Hence, small area estimation is a
collection of statistical techniques designed to provide reliable estimates beyond the survey
domain. There are a number of small area techniques available and among them is the ELL
method used to generate the municipal and city poverty statistics.

In updating the small area poverty estimates during non-censal year like 2012, a similar
approach was used. The information from the 2012 FIES, 2012 Labor Force Survey (LFS),
and 2010 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) were combined to estimate poverty
incidence, poverty gap, and severity of poverty at the provincial, city and municipal levels.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 25


Statistical regression was used to predict per capita income, expressed in natural logarithmic
form4, Y, using explanatory variables denoted as X.

b. Selection of Explanatory Variables

Similar to the earlier poverty mapping project, X can be classified into two types: the survey-
obtainable variables, at the household or individual level (e.g., educational attainment of
household head, etc.); and the census-derivable location variables, which correspond to
barangay or municipal means (e.g., existence of a market in the barangay). It is important
that X used in modelling should be (a) available both in the survey and census; (b)
comparable and/or consistent with both the survey and census (i.e., X follows the same
definition in both survey and census) and (c) have survey and census statistics (mean value)
that match.

It may be noted that the overall objective is to compute city and municipal level poverty
statistics, with reliable and/or acceptable levels of precision. This can be done by modelling
income using X and fitting the resulting model using its census counterpart. Once this has
been done, predicted (per capita) income for all family units in the population will be derived.
Effectively, strength is borrowed from the census which has a larger coverage than the
survey. Note that such procedure requires that the variables constituting X should also be
available from the census. In addition to availability, comparability is also an essential
component in order to make the substitution of X with its census counterpart to compute
predicted (per capita) family income become valid.

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


the data sets used (i.e., FIES, LFS and CPH) were collected in the same year (i.e., 2000).
Selection of survey-obtainable explanatory data can be done by examining the survey and
census questionnaires to identify which questions elicit equivalent information. In several
cases, equivalence may be achieved by collapsing some categories of responses. When
common variables have been identified, the appropriate summary statistics are compared for
the survey and the census data. For variables to be considered as consistent, summary
statistics of the census data should be within the confidence interval estimates observed
from the survey data. Comparability assessment is not required for the case of location-

Using natural logarithmic form of income is a usual approach in a number of econometric models. This is done
because log of income has symmetric distribution (while income has a highly skewed distribution). The error term
in the model, which denotes the unexplained part of the dependent variable, is also assumed symmetric. Such
that a model specification where the dependent variable and the error term have a similar distribution will be
preferred to a model where they have very different distributions. For a more thorough discussion of this
approach, the readers are referred to statistical regression theory texts.
2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 26
effect variables as these are sourced from the census, which were merged with the survey;
and as long as the geographic configurations between survey and census are the same.

Assessing comparability in the case of updating small area poverty statistics requires more
attention. Note that survey data is for 2012 while census data is for 2010, and our goal is to
come up with 2012 poverty statistics at the small area level. Hence, the time component has
to be taken into consideration, otherwise ambiguity may arise when the relationship between
Y and X is captured through regression modelling using 2012 survey information but fitting
the model using 2010 census data. To address the issue, survey-obtainable variables were
carefully screened by examining the survey and census questionnaires not only to identify
which questions elicit equivalent information but also those, which are time-invariant. Time
invariance, as used in this Project, means that the characteristic is not likely to change from
time to time (i.e., stable over time), e.g., material of the wall. For some of the variables, this
can be done by purposely collapsing some categories of responses to pre-defined
categories. For example, a binary variable hea_ategrad can be created, with value 1 if the
head of the household is at least elementary graduate, and 0 otherwise. If the head of the
household has completed elementary education in 2010, the value of hea_ategrad will be
equal to 1 in 2012 even if he is already in college.

When as many as possible of these “at least” type of variables have been created,
appropriate summary statistics are compared for the survey and census data. A variable will
be included in the list of explanatory variables X if the summary statistics for the census data
is within the confidence interval of the survey data. Likewise, we also include in the list of
explanatory variables X, location-effect variables represented by the census means.

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

 Presence or absence of airport in the province


 Presence or absence of malls (i.e., Shoemart, Gaisano, Ayala and Robinson’s) in
the municipality
 Presence or absence of Jollibee in the municipality
 Percent of households with unpaid family worker in the barangay
 Average number of unpaid family worker

It is hoped that inclusion of these variables may help improve the model in terms of
adequacy that will be used to generate the municipal and city level poverty estimates.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 27


Further, the use of alternative forms of the model, e.g., assuming a Poisson distribution, may
be explored to possibly improve the Adjusted R-square of the regression models, and
ultimately, the accuracy of the poverty estimates

c. Statistical Modelling5

Since there is a limited number of time invariant variables at the household level, the
explanatory variables X is dominated more by the location-effect variables. Recall that the
dependent variable Y is expressed at the household level. To capture a significant amount of
variability of Y, it is operationally useful to construct more time-invariant variables. This was
done by computing two-way interactions among variables in X. Interactions of explanatory
variables with urbanity were also computed. These approaches created more household-
level auxiliary data.

Separate models were fitted for each geographic region. The objective is to tailor the model
to account for the differences of geographic regions in the country, such as spatial
peculiarities. The set of geographic barangays comprise the clusters. Per geographic region,
computing through PovMap6 begins in the estimation of the income function,

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

where Yij is the per capita income of jth household in ith cluster, X is the matrix explanatory
variable and u is the error component. This error component uij can be attributed into two
components: variability among the clusters and variability among households. Thus, we can
represent uij as,

uij = hi + eij (2)

5 This section provides a brief discussion of the regression modelling for per capita income (Note: Please refer to
the Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines released in 2005 for a discussion of more advanced statistical
concepts such as multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, modeling, and bootstrapping.).

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

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 35


where hi is the cluster component and eij is the household component. For each region, a
number of candidate models were estimated. As mentioned earlier, estimation of these
models was implemented using PovMap.

d. Development and Selection of Final Model

After model estimation and fitting of parameter estimates to census, it is necessary to undo
the log transform used for Y, also implemented through PovMap. The set of official provincial
poverty thresholds for the year 2012 was thus used to compute poverty estimates. These
estimates were determined at the municipal, provincial and regional levels. Bootstrap
estimates were summarized by their mean and standard deviation giving a point estimate
and standard error for the desired level of disaggregation. Bootstrapping is used to provide
estimates of the standard errors. As imputed income depends on the non-linearity of the
stochastic variables involved (the estimated model parameters, the correlated error terms),
computing the standard errors analytically is a little bit complicated.

Assessment of candidate models for each region involved comparison of similarity of the
parameter estimates and that of small area estimates, in addition to basic statistical criterion
such as adjusted R-squared, among others. This approach of assessment is also useful in
identifying over-fitted models, aberrant fluctuations as well as robustly significant variables.
Further, the resulting model-based poverty estimates at the regional levels were also
compared to direct survey estimates.

Selection of a reasonable model for a specific region was done by considering the following
criteria:
 The relationship of the variables, whether positive or negative, on Y is generally
consistent with earlier researches on poverty (e.g. education should have a positive
effect on income).
 The models should be robust, which means that small changes to the model do not
greatly affect the significance or signs of the regression coefficients pertaining to a
particular variable.
 Estimated regional poverty incidence does not largely differ from the official regional
poverty estimates. Ranking of provinces based on the derived provincial poverty

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 36


estimates based on SAE should as much as possible be consistent with the ranking of
provinces within the region based on official poverty statistics.
 The model should have “good” statistical properties, e.g., acceptable model adequacy,
significant regression coefficients, significant regression coefficients and parsimony.

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

As illustrated in Figure A1, regional poverty incidences based on SAE are relatively close
to the official poverty estimates although when they differ, SAE tends to underestimate
poverty a bit.

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

i. Since variables used in model-building were limited to those that are considered to
be time-invariant, variables such as household size and number of children were
replaced with proxy indicators such as cluster means (i.e. average household size in
2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 37
a barangay). These variables, however, were not always significant. In cases that
they are found to be significant, it was noted that these proxy indicators are not able
to capture the dependency variables adequately, which are negatively correlated with
income. Hence, it is expected to over-predict income, resulting to an underestimation
of poverty.

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


characteristics) has been stable over time may have been optimistic. It is possible
that migration, and/or variations in birth and death rates between the poor and non-
poor may have altered the picture.

e. Comparison of Estimates

It may be noted that refinements in the official poverty estimation methodology was
undertaken in 2011 and revised poverty estimates were only generated for 1991, 2006 and
2009 for comparison with 2012. Hence, methodology used in the estimation of the poverty
lines used for the 2000 and 2003 city and municipal level poverty estimates are not
consistent with those used in 2006, 2009 and 2012 city and municipal level poverty
estimates.

4. Limitation of the Study

i. Data

In the absence of a census, as well as panel data in 2012, in which case, survey household
per capita income from 2012 can be linked to X variables in 2010 while, only time-invariant
variables or location effect variables/census means were used in the development of the
regression models to predict per capita income of households in 2012. Hence, as
mentioned in the earlier section, variables such as household size and number of children
were replaced with proxy indicators such as cluster means of these variables (i.e., average
household size in a barangay). These were not always significant or if significant, are not
able to capture the dependency adequately that tends to over-predict income, resulting to an
underestimation of poverty.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 38


ii. Dropped observations in the PovMap modelling process

The PovMap only proceeds if the barangay clusters have at least two observations. A
solution that was made is to filter the data set by keeping the clusters with at least two
observations, causing some observations to be dropped in the modelling process.

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

As models specified are at the regional level, characteristics atypical of the province may not
be fully captured by the model.

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

The Project Team recognizes that there may be other variables that are significantly
correlated with income, such as migration and tourism, which were not included in the model
due to data constraints. (Note: Tourism was somehow incorporated in the model building
through the census variable “number of hotel or accommodation establishments in the
barangay”). Nevertheless, the PSA plans to consider these in the future endeavours on SAE
once data on these areas of concern becomes available.

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

It may be noted that refinements in the official poverty estimation methodology was
undertaken in 2011 and revised poverty estimates were only generated for 1991, 2006 and
2009 for comparison with 2012. Hence, methodology used in the estimation of the poverty
lines used for the 2000 and 2003 city and municipal level poverty estimates are not
comparable with those used in 2006, 2009 and 2012 city and municipal level poverty
estimates.

C. Validation Workshop

1. Objectives

Similar to the past poverty mapping projects that were conducted, validation activities on the
2012 municipal and city level poverty statistics through a one-day workshop and ocular
assessment in a selected region/province, in this case Region VI in the province of Aklan,
was undertaken. The validation activities were conducted by the PSA Technical Staff with
the Project Consultant and the Project Technical Adviser. The main objective of the
validation activities is to assess the acceptability and consistency of the estimates
generated. These exercises were done to evaluate how well the estimates relate to the
assessment of local government units, the academe, civil society organizations, as well as
local communities in the region/province. Specifically, the validation activities aim to:

a. Solicit the workshop participants’ expert opinion and intimate knowledge of the poverty
situation in Aklan and in its specific localities by providing assessment on the status of
their respective municipalities in the province based on identified poverty indicators;
b. Present the initial results of the Project on the Generation of the 2012 Municipal and
City Level Poverty Statistics, including some background on the methodology,
variables used, and the assessments undertaken;
c. Serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas and discussion of the provincial and
municipal level poverty estimates produced through the project and to evaluate how
well they relate to the assessment of the local participants; and
d. Conduct ocular assessment of the socio-economic, demographic, and housing
characteristics of cities/municipalities vis-à-vis the results of the regional model and
city/municipality poverty estimates in the Region.

2. Mechanics

a. Validation Workshop

Invited workshop participants were composed of:

 Provincial key informants with detailed knowledge of all the municipalities in the
province, e.g., provincial planning and development coordinator.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 42


 Municipal key informants, e.g., representatives from the municipal planning and
development offices.
 Some representatives from the academic institutions and civil society organizations in
Aklan
 Representatives from government agencies’ regional/provincial offices

The participants were asked to accomplish the validation form, which included the indicators
significant in the SAE model for Region VI. Specifically, the indicators are:

 Educational attainment of the male and female household members


 Barangay being part of the town/city proper or former poblacion of the municipality
 Marital status of the household head
 Household members who are working as clerks in the municipality
 Number of immediate (nuclear) family members in the household

3. Workshop Design

a. Validation Workshop

The validation workshop was held in Kalibo, Aklan. Twelve out of the 17 provinces were
represented by public and private institutions during the validation workshop. The
participants were asked to provide their assessment on the poverty situation of the
municipalities in the province.

In Part I of the validation form, the participants were asked to assess the indicators that
turned out to be significant in the SAE model of Region VI. Specifically, the participants were
asked to provide their “best” estimate of selected poverty-related characteristics of
households from their respective city/municipality.

In Part II of the validation form, the participants were asked to provide information on the
average number of poor per 10 persons/individuals residing in their respective
city/municipality and other cities/municipalities where they have some reasonable knowledge
of.

The poverty estimates of the cities/municipalities in the province based on the participants’
scoring were compared with the poverty estimates of cities/municipalities based on the SAE.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 43


b. Ocular Assessment

In addition to the validation workshop, the Project Technical Team conducted ocular
assessments of the community and housing characteristics of some barangays in the three
municipalities in Aklan. These were done to gain better insights on the province and validate
whether the variables are truly reflective of the actual poverty situation in the municipalities.
The Team were asked to fill out the Ocular Assessment Form (see Form in the next section)
based on their observations.

The ocular assessment was conducted in the municipalities of Kalibo, New Washington and
Malay in Aklan. The community and housing characteristics of some barangays in these
municipalities were observed and noted in the ocular assessment form.

Kalibo, New Washington and Malay have poverty incidences below 15.0 percent. Based on
the ocular exercises, it was observed that the three municipalities are generally urban areas,
with commercial establishments and offices present in the vicinity. Primary and secondary
schools are present in all the municipalities. There are also tertiary education institutions in
Kalibo and New Washington.

5. Findings

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

 The participants found the definitions of some indicators being assessed confusing,
thus, requiring further explanations from the Project Team members.
 The results of the accomplished validation forms were presented after the workshop
proper, hence, providing insights/clarifications to the participants on the rankings of
cities/municipalities based on SAE and participants’ own assessment. Upon the
presentation of the assessment results, it was noted that the participants’ assessment
on the poverty classifications of the municipalities were more consistent with the 2009
SAE than with 2012 estimates. This was because according to the participants, their
major reference in filling up the Form for the validation workshop is the result of the
assessment undertaken by the Department of Social Welfare and Development
(DSWD) in 2011 and not their own observation for 2012. It was noted that a number of
typhoons were experienced by the province from 2011-2012, which resulted to flood
and damages to properties.

D. Advocacy

1. National Dissemination Forum

A National Dissemination Forum was held on 10 April 2015 at the BSA Twin Towers,
Mandaluyong City. During the forum, the 2012 municipal and city level poverty estimates, as
well as the methodology and variables used, were presented. The forum also served as a
venue for the exchange and discussion of ideas among various stakeholders and users
regarding the small area poverty estimates and methodology.

Some of the important points raised during the forum are:

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


the project was presented, i.e., least poor, mildly poor, moderately poor, highly poor,
and severely poor, which was based on a Ph.D. research study on communications.
However, it was recommended that further review be done on the classification and

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 47


more politically acceptable terminologies be adopted for the poverty analysis of
municipalities and cities.

 There is a need to reduce the time lag on the generation and release of small area
poverty estimates to be more relevant to data users, program planners and
stakeholders. The suggestion made by the participants was to improve the efficiency
of collection of data inputs, i.e., the census and survey data, through the use of tablets
and other gadgets.

 Government statistics should be packaged in such a way that users will be able to
appreciate and use the data as effective tool for policies, programs and evidence-
based decision-making. The use of infographics and other visualization tools in
disseminating statistics are recommended to reach out to a greater audience of users
of statistics, particularly the policy-makers, the politicians and the media.

 Explore the possibility of coming up with small area poverty estimates for other
marginalized sector, e.g. women, which will serve as inputs to women empowerment.

2. Regional Dissemination Forum

a. Iloilo City

On 30 June 2015, the first regional dissemination forum on the 2012 Municipal and City
Level Estimates of Poverty was held in Iloilo City. The forum was attended by users and
stakeholders from the local government agencies and academic institutions from various
parts of Visayas.

Following are essential comments raised during the forum:

 The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) VI used the SAE of
poverty for identifying who and where are the poor. They also used the estimates for
their Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-
Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS), and
Listahanan Program. Hence, shorter time lag will be appreciated.

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 48


 The local chief executives used the estimates in decision making and policy
formulation and emphasize the importance of generating lower disaggregates of
statistics.
 There is clamour for the timely release of small area estimates, so that they can use
the data more efficiently and effectively.

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


generate employment, and further alleviate poverty in the Region.

 The proposition to utilize other resources to aid and further enhance the determination
of poverty levels, aside from income and expenditure data was also raised during the
forum.

b. Laoag City

The second regional dissemination forum on the 2012 Municipal and City Level Estimates of
Poverty was held in Laoag City on 22 September 2015. The forum was attended by users
and stakeholders from the local government agencies and academic institutions from various
parts of Northern Luzon.

Below are the salient points raised during the forum:

 The Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte has been one of the active local
government units to localize the monitoring of the Millennium Development Goals
(MDG) and the first goal of MDG is to eradicate poverty. To achieve this goal, the
provincial government utilized the small area estimates of poverty produced by the
PSA, along with the Listahanan Program of DSWD, to determine the poor families and
communities. They were able to determine two levels of poverty. The first level
includes the poorest of the poor and they are the ones that receive poverty alleviating
programs like the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program. The second level is the
transformative poor wherein they are the ones that receive the community driven
development programs. The local government provides capital for the families who
wants to become entrepreneurs and put up a business.

 There were inquiries raised on the generation of poverty thresholds that determines
whether an individual or a family is considered poor and the inquiries were met from
2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 49
further discussions on the food and non-food needs of an individual or a family. It has
been cleared that poverty incidences are obtained in consideration with the local
characteristics of a province.

 There was also a suggestion from one of the resource persons, Dr. Romulo Virola,
regarding the presentation of poverty estimates for least poor regions like Ilocos
Region. He suggested that instead of presenting the poverty estimates of the region, it
would be ideal to present the indicators that drive the region to be less poor and
encourage the region to explore other indicators to improve. Also, he urges the
province to serve as a leader in spearheading other provinces to alleviate poverty.

 There was a suggestion on conducting the survey of prices for all municipalities and
cities with markets for a more accurate data on pricing which will help generate more
accurate results for poverty threshold but this is still considered a challenge for the
PSA since this will need more labor and cost resources.

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

c. Davao City

The third regional dissemination forum on the 2012 Municipal and City Level Estimates of
Poverty was conducted in Davao City on 2 December 2015. The forum was attended by
users and stakeholders from the local government agencies and academic institutions from
various parts of Mindanao.

Following are the relevant comments raised during the forum:

 The DSWD XI used the small area estimates of poverty in the identification of areas for
the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social
Services (KALAHI-CIDSS), the Pantawid Pamilya Program and the Sustainable
Livelihood Program (SLP).
 The City Planning and Development Office of Davao City used the municipal and city
level estimates of poverty as basis for programming and planning the City’s projects.
The city government also conducted their own participatory resource appraisals, where
they did poverty profiling for each barangay. They considered variables other than

2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 50


income such as access to electricity, survival and development indicators of children,
access to sanitary toilets and water, land tenure, structure of the house, among others.
 For policy purposes, the policy-makers should be concerned with the data such as the
poverty statistics, which are used for the allocation of funds. In the context of DSWD
programs, poverty statistics are important for better targeting, which can also linked
with the programs of the Department of Health (DOH) and Department of Education
(DepEd). These line agencies should review the implementation of their programs to
better serve the programs’ objectives. Further, it is suggested to revisit the institutional
arrangements on planning and budgeting.
 There is still persistent demand/request for the timely release of data. Further, there
was a suggestion to forecast or project the poverty incidence, however, there are
limited data points available. Hence, the results will be unreliable.
 Validation exercises or ocular assessments were done to validate/cross-check the
results. There were focused-group discussions with the municipal/city coordinators.
Relatedly, there was an invitation to do validation exercises in North Cotabato.
 There are clamor on the barangay-level poverty estimates for more deterministic and
more focused planning and targeting.
 Since there is a wealth of human resources at the academe, the state universities and
colleges offering statistics program can take a look at various research agenda e.g.,
generating barangay-level or smaller area poverty statistics.

E. Lessons Learned

 There is a need to clearly define the variables.


 There is a need to further improve the design of the validation workshop to ensure that
the main objective of the workshop, which is to validate the estimates will be fully
achieved.
 There is a need to dovetail the focus/context/substance of the subnational
dissemination forum to the poverty situation in the area
(region/province/municipality/city).
 There is a need to seriously consider addressing the time lag of the data to be able to
accurately validate whether the generated SAE reflects the latest poverty situation in
the municipality.
 There may be a need to explore other SAE techniques to be able to generate more
reliable poverty estimates.

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

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

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