Notes:
a/ Caution in utilizing the estimate for these provinces must be observed due to its very small sample size.
b/ Coefficient of variation of first semester 2015 subsistence incidence among population is greater than 20%.
* Food Thresholds are estimated using actual prices collected by PSA for the estimation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). In consonance with the updating of the market basket for the collection of prices for CPI,
First Semester 2015 Poverty Statistics were revised accordingly.
