FOREWORD

This report is the third of the series featuring Municipal and City level poverty estimates

released by the National Statistical Coordination Board for 2006 and 2009. The generation

of these estimates is part of the output of the “Project on the Generation of 2006 and 2009

Small Area Estimates of Poverty”. The project was implemented by the National Statistical

Coordination Board (NSCB) with funding assistance from the World Bank (WB), Australian

Government and the Philippine Government. It is a follow-up study to the earlier NSCB

projects on “Poverty Mapping in the Philippines” funded through the WB-Asia Europe

Meeting Trust Fund and the “Intercensal Updating of Small Area Poverty Estimates” through

the WB Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building, which generated provincial and

municipal level poverty estimates for 2000 and 2003, respectively, using small area

estimation (SAE) techniques.

Similar to the earlier efforts, the SAE methodology employed in the project combined survey

and census data to produce reliable poverty estimates at lower levels of geographic

disaggregation. The SAE methodology was based on the Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw

(ELL) methodology developed at the WB, which was subsequently modified to come up with

estimates for intercensal years.

We acknowledge the valuable assistance provided by our Project Consultant, Dr. Zita VJ.

Albacea of the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) as well as inputs from the

Project’s Technical Adviser, Dr. Romulo A. Virola. We also express our deepest

appreciation to Ms. Rashiel Velarde and her Team at the WB, for their encouraging support

in this undertaking and for the untiring efforts to help us improve the Philippine Statistical

System.

This report also highlights actual policy uses of the small area poverty estimates in the

Philippines emphasizing the relevance of the project outputs to national policymaking. It is

hoped that the results of this project will further help local communities and policymakers 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 2011-2016 Philippine Development Plan is to achieve rapid, sustainable and

inclusive growth that will generate employment opportunities and reduce poverty. This is

also in consonance with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which embodies

specific targets and milestones in eliminating extreme poverty worldwide. Specifically, MDG

1 aims to halve the poverty rate in 2015 from its baseline rate in 1990. Given limited

resources, achieving significant poverty reduction entails the development and

implementation of poverty programs that are based on timely and relevant national and sub-

national poverty statistics.

Official poverty statistics in the country are generated by the National Statistical Coordination

Board (NSCB) 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 NSCB include national, regional and provincial poverty estimates

directly estimated from the triennial Family Income and Expenditure Survey conducted by

the National Statistics Office (NSO). These are defined and estimated in line with Republic

Act (RA) 8425, the Social Reform and Poverty Alleviation Act, which refers to 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.

With the increasing clamour for lower disaggregation of poverty statistics for better targeted

poverty reduction programs, the NSCB 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

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 city and municipal level poverty estimates, the

NSCB implemented the “Intercensal Updating of Small Area Poverty Estimates Project” in

Page 10: in cooperation with Australian Government

2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 2

2006 through the World Bank Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building (WB TFSCB). The

study aimed to explore the possibility of generating reliable 2003 city and municipal 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.

In 2014, the DSWD plans to collect data for their NHTSPR. This system will serve as the

DSWD guide in the identification and updating of their beneficiaries for the flagship program

of the government, called the Pantawid Pamilya Program. Hence, the need for updated city

and municipal level poverty estimates, as well as demand for trend analysis among the city

and municipal level poverty estimates need not be over emphasized. In response, the

NSCB, with funding assistance from Australian Government, WB and the national

government, again undertook a project to generate 2006 and 2009 city and municipal level

poverty estimates. It is hoped that the results of this Project, like the earlier NSCB initiatives,

will be a useful guide to local government units, policy makers and program implementers in

formulating/designing intervention programs aimed at reducing poverty.

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.

The estimates were arbitrarily grouped so that the municipalities and cities are more likely to

have the same level of poverty status. There are five groups identified which are arbitrarily

described as (1) ‘least poor’; (2) ‘mildly poor’; (3) ‘moderately poor’; (4) ‘highly poor’; and (5)

‘severely poor’. In terms of numerical values, ‘least poor municipalities and cities’ are those

with estimated poverty incidence of at most 20% while those who are described as ‘mildly

poor’ are municipalities and cities with estimated poverty incidence greater than 20% but at

most 40%. The ‘moderately poor municipalities and cities are those with poverty incidence

greater than 40% but at most 60%; while the ‘highly poor municipalities and cities’ are those

Page 11: in cooperation with Australian Government

2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 3

with poverty incidence greater than 60% but at most 80%. The group, which probably needs

help the most, are the ‘severely poor municipalities and cities’ which have poverty incidence

greater than 80%.

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 especially if there is interest in monitoring the performance of a municipality

or city in relation to their poverty alleviation programs or initiatives.

The rank of the estimates could also be used in monitoring the performance of a municipality

or city relative to others. A big movement in the ranks could indicate a change in the poverty

status of a municipality or city. However, it should be emphasized that although there might

be shift in the group to which a municipality or city belongs, or even in the ranking, the

observed change 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.

But in general, when used appropriately, these small area estimates are useful information in

targeting and monitoring the poor municipalities and cities in the country.

II. 2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates

The Philippines is composed of 17 administrative regions which are further divided into 80

provinces. In 2009, there were 1,647 municipalities and cities of which 137 are cities and the

rest, municipalities. In 2006, there were 1,641 municipalities and cities, lower than the 2009

count as new municipalities were created, while some municipalities successfully

transformed into cities on or before 2009. Small area estimates of poverty statistics were

obtained for these municipalities and cities, and the 14 districts in the City of Manila which

are labelled as cities in this study.

The distribution of the 1,641 municipality or city level estimates of poverty incidence among

population in 2006 is presented in the following table (Table 1) and figure (Figure 1). None of

the municipalities and cities are considered severely poor (i.e., having poverty incidence

greater than 80%). Most of municipalities and cities (717 out of 1,641) are mildly poor. The

Municipality of San Andres in the Province of Quezon (with poverty incidence of 78% in

2006) is an outlier. Here, the estimate of poverty incidence is reliable since its coefficient of

variation is only 8.17%. Note that the Municipality of San Andres is classified as a highly

poor municipality. On the average, for every 100 residents of this municipality, 78 are poor.

For the year 2009, the distribution of the 1,647 municipality or city level estimates of poverty

incidence among population is presented in Table 2 and Figure 2. There is a slight difference

in the 2009 distribution compared to the 2006 distribution of municipalities and cities in Table

estimates for year 2009 but the group with the highest count is still the group of mildly poor

municipalities and cities. The municipality with the highest poverty incidence among

population is the Municipality of Siayan in the Province of Zamboanga del Norte with poverty

incidence of 80%. This is also a reliable estimate since the estimate’s coefficient of variation

is only 5.63%. This municipality is also classified as highly poor.

The distribution of the estimates for 2006 and 2009 (see Figure 3) only slightly differs. The

percentages of severely poor and highly poor remain the same after three years. However,

there is an increase in the percentages of least poor and moderately poor from 2006 to

2009. A decrease in the percentage of mildly poor is also observed, after three years. Some

of the municipalities and cities that were included in the decreasing mildly poor, were able to

cope with their poverty situation and thus resulted to an increase in the percentage of the

least poor. Meanwhile, others were not able to improve on poverty, thus resulting to an

increase in the percentage of moderately poor.

Similar observations can be found in the poverty maps at the municipal and city level

estimates by poverty classification (shown in the previous two pages). The municipalities

and cities grouped accordingly and represented by the same colours indicate similarities of

the poverty classification of the municipalities and cities in 2006 and 2009. The complete list

of estimates is found in the Annex Table.

The differences in the magnitude of the estimates were obtained and only 18% of these

estimates are said to be statistically significant at the 5% level. In terms of counts, there

were 293 out of the 1,641 municipalities and cities with a change in their magnitude of

poverty incidence. Out of these 293, there are 27 cities. Although there is an observed

difference in the estimated poverty incidence of the 293 municipalities and cities, 104 of

these or 35% did not result to a change in their poverty classification. Twenty one of the 27

cities with a reported significant change in their magnitude of poverty incidence did not shift

to another poverty classification. For those with significant change in magnitude resulting to

a shift in poverty classification, 81 out of 293 or only 4.9% of the 1,641 municipalities and

cities became poorer in terms of poverty classification. Of these 81, only two are cities,

namely, Tacloban City (of Leyte, Region VIII) and Naga City (of Camarines Sur, Region V).

There were 91 municipalities and cities (of which three are cities) with a reported significant

change in poverty incidence, particularly, a shift in lower poverty classification in 2009

compared to 2006. These three cities that improved on their poverty classification include

Canlaon City of Negros Oriental, Region VII; Panabo City of Davao del Norte, Region XI;

and Tangub City of Misamis Occidental, Region X. Since 91 out of 1,641 municipalities and

cities is also only around 5.5%, this suggests that there is not much change in poverty

conditions in 2009 compared to 2006.

Identifying the top 40 poorest municipalities in 2006, Table 3 list these municipalities with

their estimated poverty incidences and corresponding standard errors as well as coefficients

of variation (all in percent). The 40 poorest municipalities are found in nine regions, four of

which are in Mindanao, two are in Visayas and the other three in Luzon. Region VII or

Central Visayas has the most number of municipalities in the top 40. These municipalities

are found in the Provinces of Cebu, Bohol and Negros Oriental. Only one municipality

(Municipality of Matuguinao in Western Samar) is found in Region VIII or Eastern Visayas.

Six of the 40 municipalities are found in Region IV-A or CALABARZON and all of them are

found in the Province of Quezon. Each of the Regions IX, X and Caraga has five

municipalities identified in the list. These three regions, together with ARMM, are all found in

Mindanao. ARMM has three of its municipalities that were identified in the top 40. CAR and

Region IV-B have also three municipalities each that are found in the list.

In terms of precision and reliability, all estimates are said to be precise and at most with

acceptable measures of reliability (at most 20% CV). Only 12 of the 40 estimates have CVs

greater than 10% but less than 20% which could be described as estimates with acceptable

measure of reliability. In fact, of the 40 CVs, the highest coefficient is only 16%. The other 28

estimates all have coefficients at most 10%. Thus, all of these 40 estimates could be very

well used to target the municipalities that are highly poor.

Thirteen of these 40 municipalities remained to be highly poor in the year 2009 based on the

estimates obtained for that year. The Municipality of Siayan in the Province of Zamboanga

Del Norte in Region IX is said to be the poorest municipality in 2009. It is one of the 13

municipalities that remained to be highly poor since 2006. The 13 municipalities identified in

Table 4 are with poverty incidence greater than 60% but at most 80% in 2006. Although in

terms of magnitude, there were observed changes in the estimated poverty incidences of

these 13 municipalities, only the Municipality of Concepcion in Misamis Occidental, Region X

has a significant change at 5% level. This observed change in the poverty incidence

estimate, however, is not enough to improve the poverty classification of the residents of this

municipality. Thus, all of these 13 municipalities remained to be highly poor in 2009.

Nineteen of the 40 poorest municipalities who were once highly poor in 2006 are classified

moderately poor in 2009. Although there was an improvement in their poverty classification,

the decrease in the estimated poverty incidence was not significant at 5% level for 11 out of

these 19 municipalities. The other eight municipalities, namely: Municipalities of Loreto in

Agusan del Sur, Caraga; San Narciso in Quezon, Region IV-A; Jimalalud in Negros Oriental,

including Batuan and Carmen in Bohol, Region VII; Bonifacio in Misamis Occidental, Region

changes in their estimates (see Table 5). The statistically significant change in the poverty

incidence estimates in these eight municipalities, further supports the observed shift of their

poverty classification from higher to lower poverty status.

On the other hand, the remaining eight municipalities in the top 40 poorest municipalities,

which are mostly found in Luzon, have estimated poverty incidences that resulted to a shift

in two levels from 2006 to 2009. These changes are also supported by the changes in the

magnitudes of the estimated poverty incidence that were found to be statistically significant

at 5% level. The estimates for these eight municipalities are found in Table 6. However, note

that the coefficients of variation in these estimates are mostly between 10% and 20%. Thus,

caution must be employed in the use and interpretation of these estimates. More so, one of

the poverty incidence estimates in 2009 has a coefficient of variation slightly higher than

20%. In particular, it is observed that the poverty incidence estimate of the Municipality of

Cagayancillo in Palawan, Region IV-B is not reliable. Hence, greater caution must be done

in interpreting the results from this municipality.

of the estimates, the poorest city (Tangub City of Misamis Occidental, Region X) in 2006 has

a lower estimated poverty incidence compared to the estimates of all of the top 40 poorest

municipalities. All of the poverty incidence estimates for these 10 cities are said to be precise

and with coefficient of variation at most 15.32% which means that these estimates are with

acceptable measures of reliability.

Only one of these ten cities is classified as highly poor and six are moderately poor. The

other three cities are classified as mildly poor in 2006. Tangub City of Misamis Occidental,

Region X which is the lone city to be classified as highly poor in 2006 was estimated to have

lower poverty incidence in 2009. Hence, it is classified as moderately poor in 2009 with an

estimated poverty incidence of 43.1%. Such change is declared statistically significant at 5%

level (see Table 8). It is one of the four cities in the top ten with significant change in its

Page 21: in cooperation with Australian Government

2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 13

estimated poverty incidence. Thus, after three years, Tangub City was able to move out of

being highly poor.

The six cities classified as moderately poor in 2006 are the cities of Bais, Canlaon and

Bayawan, all in Negros Oriental, Region VII; Dapitan City of Zamboanga del Norte, Region

IX; Ligao City of Albay, Region V; and Gingoog City of Misamis Oriental, Region X. After 3

years, the Cities of Bayawan, Ligao and Gingoog remained to be moderately poor while the

other three cities have lower estimated poverty incidence. Thus, these were classified in

lower category as mildly poor. However, only the cities of Bais and Canlaon have statistically

significant change in their estimates at 5% level.

The 8th, 9th and 10th poorest cities identified earlier, were all classified as mildly poor in 2006.

In 2009, Passi City of Iloilo, Region VI and the Island Garden City of Samal in Davao del

Norte, Region XI remained to be mildly poor. However, Sipalay City of Negros Occidental,

Region VI has higher estimated poverty incidence and was classified as moderately poor in

2009. Among these three cities, only Passi City has a statistically significant change in its

poverty incidence estimate. But such change did not result in a change in its poverty

classification, i.e., it remained to be mildly poor in 2009.

III. Actual Policy Uses

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 NSCB responds to the need for more

updated poverty statistics. The updated Municipal and City level poverty estimates for 2006

and 2009 have likewise exhibited actual policy uses.

A list of the actual policy uses of the 2006 and 2009 Municipal and City level poverty

estimates has been compiled below to serve as reference for other policy- and decision-

makers, and program implementers.

A. Targeting Beneficiaries of Programs/Projects

1. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has been continuously

using the small area estimates of poverty in identifying and prioritizing provinces and

municipalities across the country for their National Household Targeting System for

Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR), which serves as basis in identifying beneficiaries for the

Pantawid Pamilya Program (or formerly known as 4Ps, which stands for Pantawid

Pamilyang Pilipino Program).

2. The Provincial Government of Eastern Samar used the small area estimates in the

identification of project sites of UNICEF, UNFPA, ECCD, PLAN Philippines,

PNRC/Agencia Espanola de Cooperacion Internacionale (AECI), DA/ADB Infrastructure

for Rural Productivity Enhancement Sector (InFRES) Project and GTZ Livelihood

Programs and Projects. The poverty data were also used in the identification of project

beneficiaries of development interventions such as light, housing, water and sanitation,

feeding program, literacy mapping, livelihood projects, Philhealth membership coverage,

medical and dental missions, and other related services.

3. The Provincial Government of Southern Leyte utilized SAE in identifying the poor

municipalities, for possible interventions geared towards poverty alleviation, in

coordination with other departments implementing poverty-related programs.

4. In Central Visayas, the SAE was used in the identification of beneficiaries for the

National Community Driven Development Program (NCDDP). This program is the

Page 23: in cooperation with Australian Government

2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 15

scaling up of the operations of the community-driven development approach of Kalahi-

CIDSS, which will cover 104 towns in the region. These towns will undergo an enrolment

process this year.

5. In the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), scholars for the Students Grants-in-Aid

Program for Poverty Alleviation (SGP-PA) of the DSWD, State Universities and Colleges

(SUCs) and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) were selected from 37 poor

municipalities identified by the NSCB in CAR. Each scholar is provided a maximum of

PhP 60,000 grant a year. These scholars are also recipients of the CCT in CAR.

6. The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) in Region 12

targeted participants/beneficiaries for their skills training, which is dubbed cash-for-

training program or C4TP, from the poorest of the poor municipalities in the region. The

Program mainly aims to provide more livelihood opportunities and eventually improve the

socio-economic status of the region’s poorest of the poor households that are supported

by the government’s Pantawid Pamilya.

7. The Municipal and City level poverty estimates were used to identify the beneficiaries of

the Kalahi-CIDSS in the following areas: a) Malate and Manila of the National Capital

Region (NCR), b) Cavite of CALARZON Region, c) Bicol region, d) Negros Oriental in

Central Visayas, and e) Butuan City, Agusan del Norte in Caraga, for the implementation

of the program in 2013.

B. Policy Formulation, Planning and Monitoring

1. The National Nutrition Council (NNC) used the SAE of poverty in the analysis of the

different causes of malnutrition in their Regional Nutrition Strategic Plan 2011-2016. The

estimates were also used to correlate and/or validate the prevalence rate of malnutrition

in a particular municipality.

2. The Provincial Government of Eastern Samar and its component municipalities used

SAE in the formulation/updating of the Provincial Development and Physical Framework

Plan, Comprehensive Development Plans and Comprehensive Land Use Plans of

municipalities.

3. The Caucus of Development NGO Networks (CODE-NGO) used the 2009 SAE as

baseline data in the conduct of Civil Society Satisfaction Report Card (CSRC) survey for

Page 24: in cooperation with Australian Government

2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 16

2012-2015. The overall objective of the project is to contribute in the poverty reduction

of 10 poorest municipalities in Eastern Visayas through the improvement of local poverty

reduction action plans and budgets, and local government service delivery, particularly in

health and agriculture/fishery.

4. The Provincial Government of La Union and San Fernando City used the poverty

estimates as basis in formulating and implementing poverty programs and projects in the

city, as well as in the whole province.

IV. Conclusions and Recommendations

1. Using the modified ELL methodology, there were 1,338 municipalities and cities in 2006

that had poverty incidence with CVs lower or equal to 20%. In 2009, these increased to

1,446 municipalities and cities. This means that reliable estimates of poverty incidence

at the Municipal and City levels can be generated using the small area estimation

methodology.

2. In the development of the regional models, consideration of other indicators, such as

tourism and migration indicators, may help in further improving the accuracy of the

poverty estimates.

3. Recognizing the importance of Municipal and City level poverty estimates, there is a

need to seriously consider the development of an official methodology for the generation

of regular Municipal and City level poverty estimates and its possible inclusion in the

official poverty statistics regularly generated by the NSCB.

4. Behind all these efforts by the NSCB to generate small area estimates of poverty, there

is a need for continuous statistical capacity building among the producers, users and the

providers of statistics. As the NSCB responds to the need to produce more relevant

statistics, data users should demonstrate better use of statistics in policy-making and

program implementation.

V. Annex

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, indirectly

estimated by obtaining the ratio of food to total basic expenditures from a reference

group of families, 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 Threshold 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 and the total number of families/individuals.

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

years 2006 and 2009 using the PovMap software. As the methodology used in this updating

is similar to the previous poverty mapping project undertaken by 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 reliable estimates at smaller geographic levels. However, the

census 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 the World Bank, which is commonly

referred to as the Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw (ELL) methodology. Such methodology

requires the use of census and survey data sets conducted on the same year. In the

Philippines, this situation occurred in the year 2000. Consequently, a Poverty Mapping

Project implemented by the 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 FIES, LFS and CPH 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 model1 for the whole country to predict the family income

per capita in logarithmic form.

1 Regression 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.

Page 27: in cooperation with Australian Government

2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 19

An update of the 2000 Municipal and City level poverty estimates was again generated by

NSCB with funding assistance from the WB. This case, however, is different from the

previous project since Municipal and City level poverty estimates will be generated for 2003,

a year when there will be no census to be conducted but there will be a nationwide survey,

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 FIES, 2004 January LFS and 2000 CPH were combined to

estimate poverty incidence for the provincial and municipal 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 X.

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 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, 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.

Assessing comparability in the case of updating small area poverty statistics for non-census

years require more attention. It should be noted that the survey data were taken in 2003

while census data were obtained in 2000, while 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

Page 28: in cooperation with Australian Government

2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 20

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.

The same is the case for this project where generation of 2006 and 2009 Municipal and City

level poverty estimates will be done using 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH)

and 2007 Population Census will be used respectively since 2006 and 2009 are non-census

years like 2003.

2. Data Sources

In the generation of the 2006 and 2009 Municipal and City level poverty estimates in the

Philippines using the ELL methodology, the following data sets were used:

a. For the generation of the 2006 Municipal and City level poverty estimates

2006 Official Provincial Poverty Thresholds (disaggregated by urban and rural areas).

These are generated by the National Statistical Coordination Board (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.

2006 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES)

The FIES is a nationwide survey conducted by the National Statistics Office (NSO) 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 2006 FIES is a regular module of the Integrated Survey of Households (ISH),

which contains 38,483 sample households, distributed across the 17 regions of the country.

January 2007 Labor Force Survey (LFS)

The LFS is another regular module of the ISH of 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 2006

FIES are also available in the January 2007 LFS.

Page 29: in cooperation with Australian Government

2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 21

2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH)

The CPH is a complete enumeration of the population in the country conducted at least

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.

b. For the generation of the 2009 Municipal and City level poverty estimates

2009 Official Provincial Poverty Thresholds (disaggregated by urban and rural areas).

These are also generated by the 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.

2009 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES)

The 2009 FIES contains 38,400 sample households distributed across the 17 regions of the

country.

January 2010 Labor Force Survey (LFS)

Most, if not all, of sample households in the 2009 FIES are also available in the January

2010 LFS.

2007 Census of Population (PopCen)

Similar to the 2000 CPH, the 2007 PopCen is a complete enumeration of the population in

the country. However, unlike the 2000 CPH, information collected in the 2007 PopCen is

more limited.

3. Implementation of the Methodology

a. Introduction/Background

In introducing the concept of small area estimation, we consider the thrust of the national

government of alleviating poverty in 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 available to

carry out the survey. Thus, surveys being incomplete enumeration of all populations 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 2006 FIES conducted by 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 level is 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 and among them is the ELL method, which was used by

the NSCB to generate the Municipal and City poverty statistics for 2000 and 2003.

In updating the small area poverty estimates from the 2000 and 2007 census years to the

intercensal years 2006 and 2009, respectively, a similar approach to the generation of the

2003 Municipal and City level poverty estimates was used. As mentioned in the previous

section, for the generation of the 2006 small area poverty estimates, information from the

2006 FIES, 2007 January Labor Force Survey (LFS), and 2000 Census of Population and

Housing (CPH) were combined to estimate poverty incidence among population for each of

the Municipal and City in the country. On the other hand, for the estimation of the 2009

Municipal and City level poverty estimates, we made used of 2007 CPH, 2009 FIES and

2010 January LFS.

Regression modelling was used to predict per capita family income, expressed in natural

logarithmic form2, Y, using explanatory variables, which we denote as X. The explanatory

variables were limited to time-invariant variables.

b. Selection of Explanatory Variables

Similar to the earlier poverty mapping project, the explanatory variables, X, can be classified

into two types: the survey-obtainable variables, at the household or individual level (e.g.,

2 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.

educational attainment of household head, etc.); and the census-derivable location

variables, which correspond to barangay or municipal/city means (e.g., existence of a market

in the barangay, proportion of households with no toilet in the city/municipality). It is

important that the variables, X, used in modelling should be (a) available both in the survey

and census; (b) definition is comparable and/or consistent in 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 Municipal and City 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, there will be predicted (per capita) income for all family units in the census.

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 for computing

predicted (per capita) family income become valid.

In the earlier poverty mapping project, specifically in the generation of 2000 Municipal and

City level poverty estimates, comparability assessment is more straightforward as the data

sets used (i.e., FIES, LFS and CPH) have the same reference period (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 answers. 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 for the census data should be within the confidence interval for the survey.

Comparability assessment is not required for the case of location-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 2006 and 2009, while census data is for 2000 and

2007, and our goal is to come up with 2006 and 2009 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 2006 (or 2009) survey information but fitting the model using 2000 (or 2007) census

Page 32: in cooperation with Australian Government

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). For some of the variables, this can be done by

purposely collapsing some categories of answers to pre-defined categories. For example, a

binary variable hea_noed can be created, with value 1 if the head of the household did not

have any formal education, 0 otherwise. If the head of the household has no formal

education in 2006 (or 2009), he / she also has no formal education in 2000 (or 2009). When

as many as possible of these “at least” type of variables have been generated, 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. Table 9 shows the

list of these variables grouped accordingly.

c. Statistical Modelling

This section provides a brief discussion of the regression modelling3 for per capita income.

Since there is 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

of multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity and bootstrapping.

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 generated 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 PovMap begins in the estimation of the income function,

lnYij = E[lnYij | Xij] + uij (1)

where Yij is the per capita income of jth household in ith cluster, X is the 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)

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, a software developed by World Bank for this

purpose.

d. Development and Selection of Regional Models

After model estimation and fitting of parameter estimates to census, it is necessary to undo

the log transformation of Y, also implemented through PovMap. The estimated per capita

income is then compared with the set of official provincial poverty thresholds for the years

2006 and 2009 to compute the poverty estimates. These estimates were determined at the

municipal/city, provincial and regional levels. Bootstrapping was undertaken and 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 accurate

estimates of the standard errors. As imputed income depends non-linearly on the stochastic

variables involved (the estimated model parameters, the correlated error terms), computing

the standard errors analytically will be very demanding.

Assessment of candidate models for each region involved comparison of the similarity of (a

subset of) parameter estimates and similarity of small area estimates, in addition to basic

statistical criterion such as adjusted R squares, among others. This approach of assessment

Page 45: in cooperation with Australian Government

2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 37

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

guidelines:

The relationship of the variables, whether positive or negative, on Y is generally

consistent with earlier empirical research results 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 variables.

A model that has an R-square of at least 40% generally possesses a good characteristic

in predicting the independent variable; in this case, the per capita income.

Inclusion of additional independent variables in the model increases the value of the R-

squared. However, the principle of parsimony states that the lower the number of

independent variables, the better the model.

The estimated 2006 and 2009 regional and provincial poverty incidence based on SAE

methodology should not largely differ from the 2006 and 2009 Official Regional and

Provincial Poverty Estimates (i.e., within two standard error away from the official

estimates). Further, ranking of the official provincial estimates within a region should be

preserved, unless provincial estimates are relatively too close that their confidence

intervals will be overlapping, hence, ranking of the provinces may not be significant.

The variables to be included in the model should not be highly correlated with each

other. For example, it is expected that there will be high correlation between the

proportion of household members that completed at least high school education and the

proportion of women that finished at least grade 6/elementary education. In such a case,

only one variable is maintained in the model.

In some instances that the regional models do not reflect the characteristics of a

province, city and/or municipality, the use of provincial dummy variables were done to

capture the unique characteristics of the province and down to the Municipal and City

Page 46: in cooperation with Australian Government

2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 38

level. An observation will have the dummy value of 1 if he/she belongs to that province, 0

otherwise. In this case, the dummy variable will help to adjust the model to account for

the unique characteristics of some provinces.

In selecting the best possible model, another criterion considered is the number of

municipalities and cities whose estimates have relatively low CVs. As much as possible,

it is desired that municipalities and cities would have CVs not greater than 20 percent.

The following may also be noted:

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

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.

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

The 2006 and 2009 Municipal and City level poverty estimates in this report were all

generated using the same ELL methodology developed by World Bank. Regional models

were also developed and used for both 2006 and 2009 to estimate per capita income for

each of the households in the census, which served as reference in the estimation of the

Municipal and City level poverty estimates. Both set of estimates were also generated using

the PovMap software developed by World Bank for the implementation of the ELL technique.

However, it may also be noted that for the estimation of the 2006 Municipal and City level

poverty estimates, this report utilized data from the 2000 Census of Population and Housing

(CPH), which is a census conducted six years prior to the conduct of the 2006 FIES. On the

other hand, the 2009 Municipal and City level poverty estimates were generated using 2007

Census of Population, only two years away from the conduct of the FIES but has limited

variables compared to the 2000 CPH.

Page 49: in cooperation with Australian Government

Having presented their similarities and differences in analysing the resulting poverty

incidences across the years, which is actually the mean of 100 simulations done in PovMap,

it is important to consider the estimated standard error of the estimates to ensure that

observed increases and decreases are significant. Further, a test of significance of the

difference between two average poverty incidences could be done.

4. Limitations of the Study

a. Data

In the absence of a census, as well as panel data in 2006 and 2009, in which case, survey

household income from 2006 (or 2009) can be linked to X variables in 2000 (or 2007), only

time-invariant variables4 or location effect variables/census means were considered in the

development of the regression models to predict income of households in 2006 and 2009.

As a result, variables such as household size and number of children were replaced with

proxy indicators such as cluster means (i.e., average household size in 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 is expected to be negatively correlated with income. Hence,

there may be cases that income could be overestimated, resulting to an underestimation of

poverty. Although the 2006 and 2009 estimates may be viewed as comparable but with

careful consideration of their standard errors, one limitation is that the gap between the

survey and census years most especially in the 2006 SAE where there is a 6 year gap

between the 2006 survey data and 2000 census. This could mean that some of the time-

invariant variables may have actually changed given the 6 year difference and compared

with the 2 year difference between the 2007 PopCen and 2009 FIES.

b. Dropped observations in the PovMap 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.

4 Time-invariant variables are variables considered to be “stable” over time.

Page 50: in cooperation with Australian Government

2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 42

c. Regional model may not necessarily capture the unique characteristics of

provinces/municipalities

As models specified are at the regional level, characteristics of the municipalities and cities

atypical of the province/region may not be fully captured by the model.

1. Region IV-A Although the regional model contains good characteristics, out of the 142 Municipal and

City poverty estimates in Region IV-A, 67municipalities and cities (47%) in 2006 are

considered unreliable having coefficients of variation greater than 20 percent while 47

unreliable municipalities and cities (33%) in 2009 were generated.

2. Masbate

It was observed in the 2009 SAE modelling process that the regional and Masbate

poverty estimate of Region V is outside the allowable 2 standard deviations of the 2009

Official Provincial Poverty Statistics. Almost all of the models yielded in the same result.

While the Project Team recognizes that there may be other variables that are correlated with

income, these, however, were not included in the model developed for the region due to

some constraints (e.g., limited time, data, manpower and financial resources).

C. Validation Workshop 1. Objectives

Similar to the past two poverty mapping projects that the NSCB TS conducted in 2004-2005

and 2006-2008, validation activities on the 2009 city/municipality poverty statistics through a

one-day workshop and ocular assessment in a selected region/province, particularly Region

VIII and the provinces of Leyte and Western Samar, were undertaken. The validation

activities were conducted by the NSCB TS with the participation of representatives from the

World Bank and Australian Government and the two local World Bank Consultants. 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:

Page 51: in cooperation with Australian Government

2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 43

a. Solicit the workshop participants’ expert opinion and intimate knowledge of the poverty

situation in Leyte and in specific localities through a validation form where participants of

the workshop will assess the status of the municipalities in the province based on

identified poverty indicators;

b. Present the initial results of the Project on the Generation of the 2009 City/Municipal

Poverty Statistics, including some background on the methodology, variables used, and

the statistical tests 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.

Municipal key informants, e.g., representatives from the municipal planning and

development offices.

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 VIII. Specifically, the participants

were asked to provide their “best” estimate of selected poverty-related characteristics of

households from their respective city/municipality.

The indicators are:

Educational attainment of male and female household members;

Households with a son/daughter of the head

Page 52: in cooperation with Australian Government

2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 44

Household members who are working as clerks in the barangay

Household in the barangay is into agriculture

Members of the immediate (nuclear) family

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.

b. Ocular Assessment

Ocular assessment was conducted in four municipalities in Leyte and three municipalities in

Western Samar. This was in collaboration with the Municipal Planning and Development

Coordinators (MPDCs) of the sampled cities/municipalities. Members of the Team,

consisting of NSCB TS Directorate and Staff and representatives from the World Bank and

Australian Government, were asked to accomplish an Ocular Assessment Form (See

Section C.4) containing the different variables found to be significant in the regional model.

In Leyte, Tacloban City, the capital of the province, and Palo and Tanauan which are

municipalities adjacent to it, have poverty incidences between 20.0 to 30.0 percentage point.

These three localities were predominantly non-agricultural, with schools up to tertiary levels,

and with offices and establishments. In contrast, the municipalities of Sta. Fe and

Babatngon, which are far from Tacloban City compared to Palo and Tanuan, have poverty

incidences above 30.0 percentage points and were predominantly agricultural with at most

high schools.

5. Matrix of Findings

Some of the general insights and findings on the validation workshop are as follows:

The participants found the definitions of some indicators being assessed confusing, thus,

requiring further explanations from the Team members.

As the design of the validation form is expected to exhibit memory bias, some

participants encountered difficulties in recalling the situation in 2009.

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.

In general, the SAE rankings were consistent with the participants’ assessment.

- Of the 27 municipalities in Leyte initially classified as “poor”, 21 are consistent with

SAE rankings.

- Of the 16 municipalities initially classified “less poor”, 10 are consistent with SAE

rankings.

D. Advocacy

1. Dissemination Forum

a. National

A National Dissemination Forum was held on 30 July 2012 at the Crowne Plaza Galleria

Manila. During the forum, the 2009 city and municipal 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:

Demand for more poverty statistics (e.g., barangay SAE of poverty, longer time series of

the SAE of poverty) from users, particularly the National Anti-Poverty Commission

(NAPC);

Need for the statistical community to communicate the statistics they produce (e.g., SAE

of Poverty); and

Computation of the R-squared and coefficient of variation to validate the reliability of the

estimates.

b. Regional

Aside from the national dissemination forum held in Metro Manila, regional dissemination

fora were also conducted to widely disseminate the small area poverty estimates in the

Visayas and Mindanao regions. Two regional fora were held in August 2012 and June 2013.

b.1 Davao City

During the 2012 Annual Conference of the Philippine Statistical Association (PSA) held in

Apo View Hotel, Davao City last 16 August 2012, a Special Forum on the 2009 City and

Municipal Level Estimates of Poverty was simultaneously held. The forum was attended by

users and stakeholders from both national and local government agencies and academic

institutions from various parts of the countries.

Page 59: in cooperation with Australian Government

2006 and 2009 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates Page 51

Below are the important points raised during the forum:

Clustering is highly appreciated; however, it is not safe to compare ‘Least Poor’ with

‘Poorest’. It was suggested that a more appropriate term be used;

Consider underemployment in the SAE model and stress effect activities (e.g.,

hypothesis testing) in measuring the poverty reduction between 2003 and 2009; and

The SAE of poverty should be mainstreamed, i.e., to lobby for the regular generation of

the estimates using government funds, considering its importance in local-level policy

making and program planning.

b.2 Cebu City

The 2006 and 2009 City and Municipal Level Poverty Statistics were released on 17 June

2013 at Crowne Regency Hotel, Cebu City. It was attended by various government

agencies, local government units and other users and stakeholders from the province of

Cebu and neighboring provinces in Central Visayas.

Below are the important points raised during the forum:

In Region VII, Cebu is not considered an agricultural area. Hence, the criteria or basis for

determining whether a household is poor or not in the region should be clarified. It was

explained that in generating the SAE of poverty, the following were considered: official

definition of poor; and significance of the variables/predictors. It was also noted that the

predicting variables were dependent on the characteristics of the region.

On the documentation of the utilization of the poverty statistics at the national level, the

NSCB Central Office listed the programs and policy uses from national government

agencies, while at the local level, the NSCB Regional Divisions documented the reports

provided by Regional Statistical Coordination Committee (RSCC). However, it was noted

that documenting the actual policy uses of poverty and other related statistics is a

challenge for the government. It was stressed that the government cannot regularly

generate all statistics requested by its stakeholders if it has no intended use on

policies/programs.

Comparing and ranking of the estimates can still be done even if there are different

models for each region. The models are different but the methodology is the same.

Using the standard errors generated, one can compare the estimates.

2. Web article

A Statistically Speaking article “Poverty Reduction: Successful Municipalities”, written by Dr.

Romulo Virola was published on August 2012 in the NSCB website. The article provided

background and results of the 2009 Small Area Estimates of Poverty.

3. Various presentations to various agencies/organizations

Several presentations on the 2006 and 2009 city and municipal level poverty estimates were

also conducted to disseminate the results and methodology, to solicit comments, and to

advocate for support, specifically from policymakers, in order to have the necessary

resources to sustain its regular generation.

a. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Network

In the 2nd M&E Network Forum held on 7 November 2012 at Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria,

the results of the 2009 SAE of Poverty were presented. The forum was participated by a

group of development practitioners from the government, development partner agencies,

academe and civil society organizations.

b. NSCB/UNICEF Forum on Local Level Statistics on Children

The results of the 2009 SAE of Poverty were presented during the NSCB/UNICEF Forum on

Local Level Statistics on Children held last 31 May 2013 at Crowne Plaza Galleria Manila.

Various users and stakeholders of statistics on children attended the said forum.

c. Meeting of the Regional Tripartite Wage and Productivity Board (RTWPB) IX

During the meeting of the RTWPB IX held last 29 April 2013, NSCB IX presented the results

of the 2009 SAE. It was noted that official poverty statistics were used as one of the bases

for the computation of minimum wage in the region.

d. National Nutrition Council (NNC) IX Forum

The 2009 SAE was also presented during a forum conducted by the National Nutrition

Council IX last July 26, 2013 at the Marcian Business Center, Zamboanga City. The forum

was envisioned to increase awareness of the Local Government Officials and other

stakeholders on hunger issues and to generate collective actions in identifying strategies to

mitigate the problem.

E. Lessons Learned

A. On the data/software to be used

1. It was recognized that while programs to prepare the data that were used in previous

SAE exercises can be very useful, it is still very important to review the questionnaire

and data dictionary of the surveys/census to ensure that variables or questions are

still the same. It may happen that changes result in microdata of a recent

surveys/census, such as the generation of new categories.

2. In addition to considering the coefficient of variation as a means of checking whether

the trends observed are real, it is also useful to conduct test of significant difference

between the estimates generated for 2003 and 2006, 2006 and 2009, and 2003 and

2009. For this Report, this was conducted to check if the increase/decrease in

poverty incidence among cities/municipalities for the years covered are significant/not

significant.

3. It can also be very useful if there will be some technical support from the group that

developed PovMap can easily help out whenever there are problems experienced in

processing the data.

4. There is a need to improve the design of the validation workshop to ensure that the

potential information that could be derived from the exercise will be maximized.

5. The result of the validation workshop usually reflects the statistical development of

the LGUs. Hence, it is important that statistical appreciation among LGUs is

developed.
