1. MULTIPLE CHOICE: 10 seconds

Area: Population, Environment, Resources and Sustainable Development
Population, health and environment are very closely interconnected issues; therefore,
they should be addressed through integrated programs and actions. Too many people
getting the Earth’s resources too quickly put extreme pressure on the environment.
During the period 2010-2015, the Philippine population has increased by 8.64 million.
What is the total population of the Philippines in exact figures as of August 2015 based
on the 2015 Census of Population (POPCEN 2015)?
A. 99,016,015
B. 100,981,437
C. 92,337,852
D. 102,912,417
2. TRUE OR FALSE: 10 seconds

Area: Adolescent Health and Youth Development
In the Philippines, the youth population, those in ages 15 to 24 years, continues to grow
in absolute numbers but its share to the total youth population has remained stable at
around 20 percent in the last 50 years. The region of Central Visayas has a total of 1.3
million youth ages 15 to 24 in 2010 and this constitutes 19.6 percent of the total
population of the region. Is the statement TRUE or FALSE?

3. IDENTIFICATION: 20 seconds
HIV in the Philippines continue to threaten the well- being of Pinoys especially those
with or whose partners have risky behaviors. In November 2016, there were 758 new
HIV antibody sero-positive individuals reported to the HIV/AIDS Registry and most were
male at 96% of the total cases and the age group with the biggest proportion of cases
has become younger.
The proportion of HIV positive cases in the 15-24 year age group increased from 25% in
2006-2010 to 28% in 2011-2016. With these very alarming trends, the HIV prevention
campaign has been intensified and a key strategy is to develop key messages that are
Page 1 of 11
easy to remember and recall especially by the young people. Give the five basic ways of
HIV prevention in any order:
 Practice Safe Sex

 Don’t Share Needles
 Take Preventive Medication
 Avoid Risky Behaviors
 Screen And Treat for HIV During Pregnancy

One in ten young Filipino women aged 15-19 is already a mother or pregnant with first
child according to the results of the 2013 National Demographic and Health Survey
(NDHS). The survey also reveals that one in five young adult Filipino women age 18 to 24
years had initiated their sexual activity before age 18 and more common among young
adult women with less education and those in poorer households. These trends call for
more effective campaigns and advocacy activities that will address early and unplanned
pregnancies.
One of the key strategies is the popularization of key and factual Sexuality and
Reproductive Health messages in order to correct the common and persistent myths and
misconceptions. Below are the most common Sexuality and Reproductive Health
misconceptions
except:
A. It is possible for a woman to get pregnant before her first menstruation

B. Withdrawal is effective to prevent pregnancy
C. A girl cannot get pregnant if she has sex during her period or menstruation
D. More than one healthy sperm cell is needed for a woman to get pregnant

Population Fund who conveyed the importance of understanding the crucial links
between population and development and the need to take population factors into
account in development planning. In whose honor does this award is named after?

foreign national from AIDS-related pneumonia. In 1986, HIV/AIDS was classified as a
notifiable disease. In 1987, the HIV/AIDS Registry was established in the Department of
Health.
In November 2016, there were 758 new HIV positive individuals reported to the
HIV/AIDS & ART Registry of the Philippines, 72 cases or 10% of which are in Region 7.

B. A healthy-looking person cannot have AIDS.
C. AIDS is treatable but not curable.
D. A person can be infected with HIV/AIDS by hugging, shaking hands or sharing

1,489 municipalities, and 42,036 barangays. Four highly urbanized cities (HUCs) had
surpassed the one million population mark, except:

A. Cebu City
B. Quezon City
C. Davao City

Area: Population and Development Integration
Population Growth Rate (PGR) indicates how fast a population increases or decreases
resulting from the interplay of births, deaths, and migration in a given period of time.

same as the population growth rate. What are the three (3) methods for computing the
rate of growth based on the assumption with respect to the change?
Answer:
 Arithmetic Change
 Geometric Change
 Exponential Change

In 2010, it was estimated that in the Philippines, there were 71 dependents per 100
persons in the working group. If in 2015, the population of the “dependent” population
(those younger than 15 and 65 or older) is 43.8 million and the “economically
productive” population (those between 15 and 64 years) is 67.3 million, how many
dependents do 100 persons in the working age group support?

The 2015 population of the Philippines is higher by 8.64 million compared with the
population of 92.34 million in 2010. Despite the slowdown of its population growth rate,
the Philippines still has a large population size because additional persons are added into
its large population base. What is the Annual Population Growth Rate (in percent) of the
country during the period 2010 to 2015?
Answer: 1.7 percent annually

Age 10 is a turning point in girls’ lives. Early adolescence is a transformative time

mentally, physically and socially. At 10, a girl is only beginning her journey through

and successful. The start of that journey, however, is fraught with risks and
vulnerabilities.

countries.
A. 18,603
B. 53,160

Results of the fourth YAFS or YAFS 2013 Further Study entitled, “Early Sex Debut of
Young Males and Females in Central Visayas”, indicate that early sex debut is influenced
by having experienced living in a dormitory or boarding house. For both men and
women, living in a dormitory or boarding house was conducive to an early sex debut,
since these facilities provide an environment vulnerable to risky behavior due to strong
peer pressure and the lack of parental supervision.
Based on the Young Adult and Fertility Study in 2013, what percentage of the youth in
Central Visayas has engaged in casual sex?
Answer: For casual sex, 9.4 percent of males have engaged in this activity compared
with only 0.7 percent of females

Parenting styles affect the development and adjustment process of adolescents. They
are believed to matter in children’s subsequent behaviors, especially in adhering to
norms of good conduct. Different parenting styles could exert different effects on their
development and social competence.
Results show that a great majority of parents believe that setting clear rules and
guidelines, listening to adolescent children’s views, monitoring and supporting them is
the best way of parenting adolescents. Cite the three types of parenting styles.
ANSWER:
 Authoritative (which blends a caring tone with structure and consistent limit-
setting)
 Authoritarian (a parents-know-best approach that emphasizes obedience)
 Permissive (which provide few behavioral guidelines because parents don’t want
to upset their children)

Between 1990 and 2000, the Philippine population grew by 2.34 percent. Given this
growth rate, the Philippines was expected to double its population in 30 years from the
year 2000 by using the rule of 69.3 which is accurate for rates from 0% to 5%.
The population growth rate however, declined between 2010 and 2015 and the
population grew by only 1.72 percent during that period. In what year will the Philippine
population double its 2015 population?

people who chose to stay and work or build their business in the said barangay.
Compute the in-migration rate of Barangay Apas, Lahug between 2010 and 2015.

early sex debut is more common among males and the home is still a popular place for
sex initiation.
While more young men expressed wanting the sex encounter primarily to relieve sexual
tension, more young women did not desire the sex encounter, but many succumbed to
sex out of curiosity.
Answer: True

Of the 17 HUCs outside of the NCR, Mandaue City was the most densely populated with
14,402 persons per square kilometer of land. It was followed by Lapu-Lapu City with
7,024 persons per square kilometre while Puerto Princesa City was the most sparsely
populated HUC outside of the NCR in 2015.

Given that Puerto Princesa has a population of 255,000 and a land area of 2,381 square
kilometres, calculate its population density. (Round off your answer to the nearest
whole number)
Dp= N/A = 255,000/ 2381= 108
