 FOREWORD

One main factor to consider in achieving development in a country,

whether social or economic, is the population. The government makes plans and
programs for the achievement of a better quality of life for the people. These
programs include better health services, adequate nutrition, free education,
housing for all, and social welfare for the needy. These programs can only be
achieved, however, if there are sufficient and reliable data as bases for planning.

The Census of Population and Housing (CPH) is one of the major

activities undertaken by the National Statistics Office (NSO) every ten years. It
takes an inventory of the total population of the country and a stock of the
housing units, not to mention other demographic and housing characteristics that
can provide the necessary data to planners.

This report is the first of two parts of the provincial publication for the 2000
CPH that was conducted on May 1, 2000. Demographic data presented herein
consist of population distribution according to age, sex, marital status, religious
affiliation, disability, education, ethnicity, residence five years ago, household
size, overseas workers, citizenship, literacy, place of school, language or dialect
generally spoken, ever married women, number of children ever born, and age at
first marriage. Housing data include type of building, structural characteristics,
state of repair, floor area, tenure status of house and lot, mode of acquisition,
sources of financing and monthly rental of the housing unit, land ownership, fuel
used for lighting and cooking, source of water, kind of toilet facility, manner of
garbage disposal, and presence of household conveniences.

Part two publication will include data generated from both common and
sample census questionnaires but with urban-rural breakdown.

NSO acknowledges all government agencies as well as private entities

which contributed their invaluable assistance and support to make the Census
2000 undertaking a success. The same is accorded to each and every
household in the country for being a witness to the success of the Census: true
to its slogan, “Census 2000, Count Me In!!!”.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Introduction
In May and June 2000, the National Statistics Office (NSO) conducted the
2000 Census of Population and Housing, more popularly known as Census 2000.
This nationwide undertaking is the 11th population census and the 5th housing
census conducted in the country.

The Census 2000 is designed to take an inventory of the

total population in the Philippines and to collect information
about their characteristics. The data provides an updated basis
for the apportionment of the Internal Revenue Allocation (IRA)
to local government units and for the creation of new legislative
areas such as regions, provinces, municipalities and
barangays, or the conversion of a municipality into a city.

The census of population is the source of information on the size and

distribution of the population as well as the information about the demographic,
social, economic, and cultural characteristics. This information is vital for making
rational plans and programs for development.

Pursuant to the provision of Batas Pambansa Blg. 72, a final report on the
population count and number of households by barangay was submitted to the
President and declared official for all purposes under Proclamation No. 28 dated
April 18, 2001.

Authority for Conducting the Census 2000

Under Commonwealth Act No. 591, the Bureau of the Census and Statistics
(now National Statistics Office) is authorized to prepare and undertake all censuses
of population, agriculture, industry and commerce.

Batas Pambansa Blg. 72, which was passed on June 11, 1980, further
accorded the NSO the authority to conduct population censuses every ten years
beginning in 1980 without prejudice to the undertaking of special censuses on
agriculture, industry, commerce, housing and other sectors as may be approved by
the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).

Moreover, Executive Order No. 121, otherwise

“. . . . The NSO shall be
known as the Reorganization Act of the Philippine
Statistical System, which was issued on January 30, the major statistical
1987, declared that the NSO shall be the major
agency responsible for

purpose statistics and for undertaking such censuses generating general
and surveys as may be designated by the National purpose statistics.”
Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB).

Further, Proclamation No. 205 declared January to December 2000 as the

Millennium Census Year and called upon all heads of departments of the
government and their instrumentalities to give their support and cooperation in the
census undertaking.

Census Coordinating Boards

For the Census 2000, the creation of Provincial Census Coordinating Board
(PCCB) and City/Municipal Census Coordinating Board (C/MCCB) was authorized
by NSCB Resolution No. 4 Series of 1999. The Provincial Statistics Officer (PSO)
and District Statistics Officer (DSO) were responsible for organizing the PCCB and
C/MCCB, respectively. These boards assisted the NSO field staff in the conduct of
the census at the sub-national levels.

The Provincial Governor was the Chairperson of the Provincial Census

Coordinating Board with the Division Superintendent of the Department of Education,
Culture and Sports (DECS) as Vice Chairman. The District Highway
Engineer, Provincial Commander/Director, Provincial Planning and
Development Officer, Provincial Assessor, Provincial Agriculturist,
Provincial Population Officer, Provincial Environment and Natural
Resources Officer and three representatives from the private sector
served as members. The Provincial Statistics Officer of the NSO
acted as the Executive Officer of the PCCB.

The City/Municipal Census Coordinating Board was chaired by the City/

Municipal Mayor. The DECS District Supervisor or Supervising Principal, Station
Commander, Municipal Civil Registrar, Municipal Planning and Development Officer,
and a representative from the private sector acted as members. The District Statistics
Officer/Statistical Coordination Officer of the NSO served as Executive Officer of the
C/MCCB.

Census 2000 Field Organization

The National Statistics Office (NSO) is the agency mandated to formulate and
execute plans to undertake the Census 2000. All matters pertaining to Census 2000
were coordinated and monitored by the Household Statistics Department (HSD),
under the direction and instructions of the Administrator. The planning and
preparatory activities for all aspects of the census were undertaken by the HSD in
close coordination with the Information Resources Department (IRD) and General
Administration Department (GAD).

A Steering Committee for Census 2000 provided directions on the major

activities of the nationwide undertaking, chaired by the Administrator and co-chaired
by the Deputy Administrator. It was comprised of the directors of HSD, GAD, IRD
and Industry and Trade Statistics Department (ITSD); division chiefs of HSD;
Regional Director of NCR as Field Representative; and the NSO Legal Officer. The
Demographic and Social Statistics Division (DSSD) of HSD served as Secretariat
to the Steering Committee.

The HSD Director was assisted by the Census 2000 Project Staff (CPS 2000)

offices. During
the census operations
and until the submission of the population
counts by barangay to the Office of the President of the Philippines, the CPS 2000
served as the monitoring, communication and action center.

The Data Capture Center (DCC), in charge of computer processing for the
Census 2000, was set up in four selected NSO regional centers under the direct
and technical supervision of IRD in consultation with HSD. The respective Regional
Directors exercised administrative supervision over the DCC operations. The
Director of IRD, assisted by the Census 2000 Data
Capture Center Project Staff (DCC 2000) ensured the
smooth flow of Census 2000 Data Processing and was
responsible for the supervision of the data capture areas.

National Statistics Office xi

 CENSUS 2000

The Regional Director (RD) was the overall supervisor in his/

her region and was assisted by the Census 2000 Regional Project
Staff (RPS 2000). The RD was responsible for the coordination,
monitoring and supervision of activities in all the provinces of his/her
region.

The Provincial Statistics Officer (PSO) together with the Census 2000
Provincial Project Staff was responsible for the allocation and control of census
forms, Quick Count operations as well as the manual processing of the census
returns and transmittal of forms to the DCC.

During the field enumeration, five teachers/hired enumerators were

supervised by a Team Supervisor (TS) and a group of ten TS was supervised by a
Census Area Supervisor (CAS). A CAS was designated in each municipality. He/she
was either a Statistical Coordination Officer (SCO) of NSO, public school District
Supervisor or Principal, or other government employee.

Method of Enumeration and Sampling

The gathering of population and housing data was performed

by census enumerators through house-to-house visits and
interview of a responsible member of each household. The
household was the enumeration unit. Moreover, a complete listing
of buildings, which contain living quarters, including vacant ones,

A combination of complete enumeration and sampling was

adopted. Just like in the 1990 CPH, a systematic cluster sampling
was used instead of a random sampling to minimize enumerators
selection bias. Each city/municipality was treated as a domain to
obtain efficient and accurate estimates at the municipality level.

An enumeration area (EA), which is a delineated geographic

area consisting of about 300 to 400 households, was divided into a
cluster of five (5) households and the corresponding number of
clusters was obtained for each. The sampling rates were based on
the estimated size of the municipality where the EA is located.

xii National Statistics Office

 CENSUS 2000

The non-sample households were

interviewed using the Common Household Estimated No. of Sampling Rate
Questionnaire (CPH Form 2). The items Households in the in the EA
Municipality
asked on the population were household
membership, relationship to the head, date of
birth, age as of last birthday, sex, marital 1—500 100%
501—1500 20%
status, religious affiliation, disability, ethnicity, 1501 and above 10%
highest educational attainment and place of
residence 5 years ago.

For the housing portion, the questions asked were about building
characteristics like type of building/house, construction materials of the roof and the
outer walls, state of repair, year building was built, floor area of the housing unit,
and tenure status of the lot.

Using the Sample Household Questionnaire (CPH Form 3),

additional questions were asked from the sample households. These
questions pertain to citizenship, literacy, language/dialect generally
spoken in the household, economic characteristics, fertility and other
related socio-economic items. Additional housing items asked were
household amenities, manner of acquisition of housing units, source of financing,
usual manner of garbage disposal and source of water.

Institutional population were enumerated using the Institutional Population

Questionnaire (CPH Form 4). Selected items in the Common Household
Questionnaire without housing questions were asked.

Information about households of Filipinos working in Philippine embassies

and foreign countries, were also gathered and included in the total population of the
country.

Place Where Enumerated

All persons were enumerated in their usual place of

residence, which is the geographic place (street, barangay,
sitio, municipality, or province) where the persons usually
reside.

Filipinos working in Philippine Embassies, Consulates and missions abroad

were also enumerated. CPH Form 2 was sent to them through the Department of
Foreign Affairs (DFA).

DEFINITION OF TERMS AND CONCEPTS

Barangay A barangay is the smallest political unit in the country.

Generally, its enumeration is assigned to one enumerator.
For enumeration purposes, a large barangay is usually
divided into parts and each part is called an enumeration
area (EA). A total of 41,940 barangays were covered in this
census. For the purpose of the Census 2000, the official list
of barangays was prepared by the Technical Working Group
on Geographic Classification and a Geographic
Classification was used as basis for the geographic codes
utilized. Among its members were representatives from
NEDA, NSCB, DILG, COMELEC and NSO.
Usual Place of Residence This term refers to the geographic place
(street, barangay, municipality, or province) where
the enumerated person usually resides. As a rule, it
is the place where he sleeps most of the time.
Hence, it may be the same as or different from the
place where he was found at the time of the census.

Household A household is a social unit consisting of a

person living alone or a group of persons who,

1. sleep in the same housing unit; and

2. have a common arrangement in the
preparation and consumption of food

In most cases, a household consists of persons who are related by kinship

ties, like parents and their children. In some instances, several generations of
familial ties are represented in one household while, still in others, even distant
relatives are members of the household.

Household helpers, boarders, and non-relatives are considered as members

of the household provided they sleep in the same housing unit and have common
arrangement for the preparation and consumption of food and do not usually go
home to their family at least once a week.

A group of unrelated individuals, as in the case of a group of students or

workers, who decide to rent a place and make common arrangements for the
preparation and consumption of their food constitutes one household.

 CENSUS 2000

Relationship to Household Head

Data on relationship to the head of the household provides an indication of

the typical relationship among household members. Each member of the household

counting the whole years completed on or prior to May 1, 2000.

Overseas Workers

An overseas worker is a household member who is

currently out of the country due to overseas employment. He or
she may or may not have a specific work contract or may be

marital status, based on the following definitions:

xx National Statistics Office

 CENSUS 2000

Single – a person who has never been married.

Widowed – a married person whose spouse has died and who has not remarried up
to the time of the census visit.

Separated/Divorced – a person who is permanently separated from his/her spouse,

legally or through mutual consent. This is also the status of a person whose
marriage with another has been annulled or dissolved and can therefore remarry.

Common–law/Live-in - person cohabiting or living consensually with another as

husband and wife without the benefit of a legal marriage.

Unknown - person whose marital status is not known to the

respondent, or whose marital status is being concealed by
the respondent.

Religious Affiliation

Citizenship

Citizenship is defined as the legal nationality

of a person. A citizen is a legal national of the
country at the time of the census, while an alien is
a non-national of the country. The collection of
data on citizenship permits the classification of the
population into (a) citizens and (b) aliens.

Data on citizenship are valuable in the study of problems relating to the legal
status and civil rights of immigrants.

Literacy

Simple literacy is the ability to read and write a simple

message. A person is literate when he can both read and write a
simple message in any language or dialect.

Language
Language/dialect is the medium used to communicate. A person who
understands and communicates using a language is considered able to speak the
language/dialect.

School Attendance
School attendance means attendance at any educational
institution, public or private, for formal academic education at the
elementary, high school, college or university level at any time during
the school year June 1999 to March 2000.

Place of School

This pertains to the place where a person was studying during the
reference period. The purpose of this is to determine the number of students who
were studying in places outside the city/or municipality where they resided. Data on
these are vital for transport planning purposes.

Type of School
This refers on the type of learning institution and
are classified as follows:

Public School — are those schools entirely subsidized by the national government
as mandated in the Constitution. Public colleges and universities are classified into
three categories as follows:

1. Chartered state universities and colleges are institutions that enjoy

autonomy under a self-governing board of regents chaired by the Secretary
of Education, Culture and Sports.
2. Non-chartered state colleges are higher educational institutions offering
higher education courses. Many of them evolved from technical school
such as school of arts and trades (SATs), agriculture and others.

xxiv National Statistics Office

 CENSUS 2000

3. Community colleges are mostly outgrowths of barangay high schools

located in rural areas and offer degree programs including graduate
program.

Private School — are those schools subsidized by a private

person or a group of persons. Some of the secondary and post
secondary schools are private stock (non-sectarian) or non-
corporations. Private colleges and universities are governed by
corporation laws. Such institutions have their respective board
of directors or trustees and are either stock or non-stock
corporation. Institutions with religious affiliation are classified as
sectarian schools and are non-stock organizations.

Madrasah and Others — refer to schools that provide alternative

learning system. This alternative learning system is classified as
non-formal and informal educational systems. However, such
entities are not accredited by the Department of Education,
Culture and Sports. Learning systems like schools of living
traditions which are organized by indigenous communities and
supported by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts
are categorized as others.

Highest Educational Attainment

Highest educational attainment refers to the highest grade or year completed in

Residence Five Years Ago

This pertains to the place where a person was residing
five years ago. Data on these are vital for projects concerning
housing and industrial development. Estimates of migration
(1995 to 2000) are needed for preparing population projections
necessary for planning and policy purposes.

Residence Ten Years Ago

This pertains to the place where a person was residing 10 years ago. Data on
these are collected to fill the missing information on migration between 1990 and
1995.

Number of Children Born Alive

Born alive children comprise all live-born children to a
woman, whether legitimate or illegitimate, born of present or of
previous marriages, and regardless of whether her children are
living or dead, or might be living elsewhere at the time of the
interview. Data on the number of children ever born to a particular
woman is an aggregate measure of her lifetime fertility experience
up to the moment the data are collected.

Number of Children
This refers to the number of children ever born to a
particular woman who are still living up to the time the data are
collected. The data serve as indicator of live-born children.

Age at First Marriage

Age at first marriage refers to the age when a woman first
entered married life or a consensual union, even if she was
married more than once. Normally in legal marriages, it is the
age when the marriage was solemnized. In cases wherein the
spouses lived together before legal marriage, the age to be
reported would be the age when the spouses began to live
together. In a consensual marriage, it is the age of the woman
when she and the man began to live together as husband and
wife.

HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS
Building A building is defined as any structure built, designed
or intended for the enclosure, shelter or protection of any
person, animal or property. It consists of one or more rooms
and/or other spaces covered by a roof and usually enclosed
within external walls or with common dividing walls with
adjacent buildings, which usually extend from the foundation
to the roof.

For purposes of the census of population and housing, only buildings which
contain living quarters whether occupied or vacant were listed.

Living quarters counted are structurally separate and independent places of

abode. These may:

1. have been constructed, built, converted or arranged for human habitation,

provided that at the time of the census, are not used wholly for other
purposes; or
2. actually being used as living quarters at the time of the census although not
intended for habitation.

Housing Unit
A housing unit is a structurally separate and independent place
of abode which, by the way it has been constructed, converted or
arranged is intended for habitation by one or more households.
Structures or parts of structures not intended for habitation such as
commercial, industrial, and agricultural buildings, or natural and man-
made shelters such as caves, boats, abandoned trucks, culverts, etc.,
but used as living quarters by households are also considered as
housing units.

Identifying Housing Units in a Building

A housing unit is normally intended for habitation by

one household. However, in some cases, two or more
households share the same building or housing unit as their
place of habitation. A building may have more than one
housing unit but from its physical layout the different housing
units may be discernible.

National Statistics Office xxvii

 CENSUS 2000

A portion of a building (a room or group of rooms) qualifies as a separate

housing unit if it meets the following requirements:

1. Separateness – a portion of the building must have

facilities for sleeping and preparing/taking meals. The
occupants may be isolated from other households in the
building by means of walls or permanent partitions;

2. Direct Access – the portion of the building can be

accessed directly from the outside of the building. That
is, occupants can come in or go out of the portion of the
building without passing through anybody else’s
premises from the street, pathway, alley, callejon, road,
yard, catwalk, public or communal staircase, passage,
gallery, grounds or through a common hall.
Housing Units Listed
Only the following housing units included in the listing were assigned individ-
ual housing unit serial numbers and listed:

1. Occupied or vacant housing units in single residential houses;

2. Occupied or vacant housing units in multi-unit residential buildings such as
duplex, accessoria or row houses, condominiums, tenement houses,
townhouses, etc.;
3. Occupied barong-barong or shanties;
4. Vacant housing units in residential buildings used for
purposes other than residential;
5. Housing units which are still under construction but the roof
and walls are already in place;
6. Occupied housing units in institutional living quarters, such as
hotels, motels, dormitories, lodging houses, seminaries, mental
hospitals etc.;
7. Occupied housing units in non-residential buildings such as offices, barns,
churches, etc.;
8. Vacant housing units with complete facilities for cooking, dining and sleeping
in institutional living quarters and non-residential buildings;
9. Occupied mobile housing units such as boats, trailers, etc.;
10.Occupied improvised housing units such as culverts, abandoned trucks,
caves, container vans, tents, railroad cars.

Highlights of the 2000 Census of Population and Housing

GENERAL SANTOS CITY

Population to Double in 14 Years

General Santos City was once a municipality of South Cotabato in Southern

Mindanao. Its history dates back to the turn of the 15th century when Shariff
Kabungsuan of Arabia arrived in Cotabato to introduce Islam with the help of his
religious teachers. He reigned as the Sultan of Mindanao until the early part of the
20th century when the Americans came.

In 1914, the first batch of Christian migrants settled in Glan along Sarangani
Bay and peacefully intermingled with the province’s ethnic inhabitants, namely the
Muslims, Manobos, Blaans, Tagabilis, and other native groups. In 1920, the first
Ilocano reached Kiamba on the opposite side of the bay.

On February 27, 1939, General Paulino Santos led the first and largest
settlers organized under the National Land Settlement Administration to the shores
of Sarangani Bay. In January 1948, by virtue of Republic Act No. 82, Buayan District
became a full fledged municipality. Six years later, in June 1954, the municipality of
Buayan was renamed General Santos as a tribute to its great pioneer. This was
made possible by Republic Act No. 1107 authored by Congressman Luminog
Mangelen of Cotabato.

On July 8, 1968, upon approval of Republic Act No. 5412, the municipality of
General Santos was converted into a city and inaugurated on September 5 of the
same year. In 1988, it was declared as a highly urbanized city.
