FOREWORD
This report features the 2003 small area poverty estimates (SAPE) for the 1,622 cities and municipalities in the country as part of the output of the Intercensal Updating of Small Area Poverty Estimates Project. The project was implemented by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) with funding assistance from the World Bank Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building (WB TFSCB). It is a follow-up study to the NSCB project on Poverty Mapping in the Philippines funded through the WB-Asia Europe Meeting Trust Fund, which generated provincial and municipal level poverty estimates for 2000 using small area estimation (SAE) techniques. 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 Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw (ELL) methodology developed by the WB, which was modified to come up with estimates even during intercensal years. The methodology combined the data from the 2003 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), 2003 Labor Force Survey (LFS) and 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) to estimate 2003 poverty incidence, poverty gap, and severity for all cities and municipalities in the country. We acknowledge the valuable assistance provided by the Project Technical Adviser, Dr. Peter Lanjouw of the WB, and the Project Consultants, Dr. Roy van der Weide also of the WB and Dr. Zita VJ. Albacea of the University of the Philippines Los Baos (UPLB). We also express our deepest appreciation to Mr. Karl Kendrick Chua, the Project Task Team Leader of the WB, for his encouraging support in this undertaking and for his untiring efforts to help us improve the Philippine Statistical System. This report also highlights actual policy uses in the Philippines as well as in other countries and the relevance of the project outputs to national policymaking. Thus, it is hoped that the results of this project will help local communities and policymakers in the formulation of appropriate programs and improvements in targeting schemes aimed at reducing poverty.

Introduction The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which affirmed commitments of member countries of the United Nations towards reducing the worst forms of human deprivation, has as its primary goal halving poverty by 2015. Towards the achievement of this goal, it is imperative that policy- and decision-makers have access to subnational information on the poverty situation as program interventions are implemented and done at the local level. The National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), under Executive Order No. 352 issued in 1996, Designation of Statistical Activities that will Generate Critical Data for Decision-making of the Government and the Private Sector, generates and release the countrys official poverty statistics using the official poverty estimation methodology as approved in NSCB Resolution No. 1 Series of 2003 Approving the Proposed Methodology for the Computation of Provincial Poverty Statistics. Poverty incidence and other measures of poverty are directly estimated using the Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) collected by the National Statistics Office (NSO) every three years. Due to limited resources of the government and the Philippine Statistical System (PSS), these are available only at the national, regional, and provincial levels. With increasing clamor for lower disaggregation of poverty statistics, 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 1,623 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 data from other sources such as the census, in addition to information collected from a survey. A variant of this methodology, called the Elbers, Lanjouw and Lanjouw (ELL) Method, was applied in this 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 2006 through the World Bank Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building (WB TFSCB). The study aims 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, using 2000 census data. It is hoped that the results of this Project like the earlier initiative, will be a useful guide to local government units, policy makers and program implementers in formulating/designing intervention programs aimed at reducing poverty.

II. 2003 City and Municipal Level Poverty Estimates A. 2003 Poorest Cities and Municipalities Across the Nation A total of 1,622 municipal and city level poverty estimates were generated for the year 2003 using the small area estimation technique discussed in the Annex section. Annex F gives the complete list of these estimates. Based on the results, the poorest municipality is Siayan of Zamboanga del Norte with a poverty incidence of 97.5 percent and coefficient of variation (CV) equal to 1.4 percent. This municipality is located seven hours away from the poblacion. The figure indicates that 97.5 percent or almost all of the municipality residents are poor. Siayan is a third class municipality1 with a population of 34,588 in 2007 Census of Population (PopCen) and has fishing and farming as its main source of livelihood. On the other hand, the least poor residents are found in Binondo, where the biggest Chinatown in the City of Manila is located, with poverty incidence placed at 1.1 percent. In this area with a population of 12,100 in 2007 PopCen, only one out of every ten residents is considered in poverty. However, this estimate has a CV equal to 86 percent. It should be noted that it is generally believed that the reliability of an estimate is within acceptable level, if its CV is low, which is at most 20 percent.
On the average, the municipality and city level poverty incidence estimates is less than 50 percent, with a reported average value of 37.5 percent. Thus, on the average, around four out of every ten residents of a municipality or city are said to be poor. Table 1 shows the distribution of the poverty incidences at the municipality and city level estimates. As shown in the table, almost half (48 percent) of the 1,622 municipalities and cities have estimates ranging from 25 percent to 50 percent. Only 2 percent of the municipalities (36 out of 1,622) have higher than 75 percent poverty incidence.
Income classification is based on the Department of Finance Order No. 20-05, effective July 29, 2005.

The 1,622 municipal and city level estimates generated are mostly reliable as shown in Table 2. Thirty eight percent of the estimates (623 out of 1,622) have CVs less than 10 percent while 757 estimates or around 47 percent have estimates with acceptable values of the CV. Hence, a total of 1,380 out of 1,622 municipalities and cities or around 85 percent are having reliable poverty incidence estimates, which can be used to better target the poor population in a province.

The confidence bounds of the estimates are plotted in Figure 1. It can be seen that only few estimates have wide intervals like in the Municipalities of Turtle Islands, Adams and Matanog while the rest of the estimates have narrow confidence interval estimates.

1. The Poorest 40 Municipalities in 2003 As mentioned earlier, the Municipality of Siayan in the Province of Zamboanga del Norte found in Region IX tops the list of the municipalities and cities based on the estimated poverty incidence. The list is actually composed of municipalities with no city included. The 2nd poorest municipality is Tanudan, a fourth class municipality and a remote place in the Province of Kalinga. In this community, almost nine out of every ten residents are in poverty. The lowest poverty incidence estimate among these 40 municipalities is 74.3 percent indicating that at least seven out of every ten residents are poor. Among the poorest 40 municipalities, only five are in Luzon. Specifically, two are in the Province of Kalinga in Cordillera Autonomous Region (CAR), one in the Province of La Union in Region I, and two from Region 4-B; one each in the Provinces of Palawan and Oriental Mindoro. In the Visayas, the seven municipalities included in the list all came from Region VIII, specifically in the province of Western Samar, which is considered the poorest province in 2003 using the SAE. Mindanao has the rest of the municipalities (28 out of 40) and mostly from Regions IX, X, XI and Caraga. These municipalities in Mindanao are found in the provinces of Zamboanga del Norte (7), Zamboanga del Sur (7), Davao del Norte (1), Davao del Sur (3), Agusan del Sur (4), Surigao del Norte (2), and Lanao del Norte (4). The provinces with municipalities belonging to the poorest 40 are the same provinces identified in the 40 poorest provinces based on the SAE estimates for 2003. The list of 40 provinces includes the provinces mentioned above except for Davao del Norte and Davao del Sur. Hence, it can be said that within a province that is not generally considered poor, there are municipalities that are very poor and need more assistance compared to other municipalities or cities in the same province. All the 40 estimates are found to have CV of at most 16.4 percent. Only two estimates have CVs greater than ten but less than 20 percent, hence these two estimates are still with acceptable measures of reliability. The rest of the 40 estimates (38 out of 40) are reliable with CVs less than 10 percent.

2. 40 Municipalities in 2003 with Highest Poverty Gap Another poverty measure is poverty gap, which measures the total income shortfall (expressed in proportion to the poverty line) of individuals with income below the poverty line divided by the total number of individuals. This could actually provide information as to how much, on the average, is needed by each individual for them to become non-poor. The 2003 municipal and city level poverty gap estimates were also generated using the SAE technique described in the Annex. The Municipality of Siayan in the Province of Zamboanga del Norte found in Region IX still tops the list of the municipalities and cities based on the estimated poverty gap. Thus, the people of Siayan are not only poor but their incomes are also the farthest from the threshold compared to other poor municipalities since their municipality has the highest poverty gap estimated at 63.2 percent. This means that on the average, the per capita income of Filipino families living in Siayan is 63.2 percent short of the poverty threshold. Again, no city was included in the list (see Table 5). The fifth class municipality of Tangkal in the Province of Lanao del Norte ranks 2nd highest in terms of poverty gap. The Municipality of Tanudan in Kalinga, which ranks 2nd in terms of poverty incidence, is now 5th in the list. Hence, while Tanudan has high proportion of poor, the income of its residents are closer to the poverty threshold, compared to those residing in Tangkal, the smallest municipality in Lanao del Norte. Six municipalities in the list of 40 poorest municipalities based on the poverty incidence were not included in the list based on the poverty gap. These six municipalities were replaced by municipalities coming from the province of Lanao del Norte in Region X. The list of 40 municipalities with high poverty gap is composed of two municipalities from the Province of Kalinga in Cordillera Autonomous Region (CAR); one in the Province of La Union in Region I, six municipalities from the Province of Western Samar, and the rest from the provinces in Mindanao. Only one of the 40 estimates in Table 4 has CV greater than 20 percent, at 26 percent. The rest in the list has CVs less than 20 percent, which indicates that the measures of reliability of the estimates are still acceptable.

3. 40 Municipalities in 2003 with Highest Severity of Poverty Severity of poverty is a poverty measure that estimates the inequality among poor. This measure is sensitive to the distribution of living standards among the poor. A high value indicates that the distribution is worse or that poverty is severe. The severity of poverty index of the 1,622 municipalities and cities were generated using the SAE technique. The Municipality of Siayan in the Province of Zamboanga del Norte found in Region IX still ranked first in the list of municipalities with high estimated severity of poverty. Thus, the most severe in poverty is being experienced by the people of Siayan. The 40 municipalities that comprise the list is shown in Table 6. On the average, the severity of poverty of the municipalities and cities in 2003 is 5.1 percent, which is higher than the countrys official measure in 2003. The highest index was observed in Siayan, which is equal to 42.9 percent while the least severe is the first class Municipality of Angono in the Province of Rizal with severity index equal to 0.1 percent. The municipalities comprising the list of 40 municipalities with the highest index of severity is the same as those in the list of 40 municipalities with highest poverty gap except for one municipality. The Municipality of Sta. Rita in the Province of Western Samar of Region VIII now ranks 42nd based on severity of poverty while it ranks 39th based on poverty gap. Hence, the residents of this municipality are said to be poor with incomes that are far from the poverty line but their state of poverty is less severe compared to those in the list. As mentioned before, the composition of the list of 40 municipalities is almost the same as that of the list based on poverty gap except for Sta. Rita in Western Samar. Thus, the list is composed of two municipalities from the Province of Kalinga in Cordillera Autonomous Region (CAR); one in the Province of La Union in Region I, five municipalities from the Province of Western Samar, and the rest from the provinces in Mindanao. In terms of reliability, the estimates for the municipalities of Baculin of Ilocos Norte and Tagoloan of Lanao del Norte have high CVs, with values greater than 20 percent. Hence, these estimates must be used with caution.

4. Municipalities in Terms of the Three Poverty Measures Using the three measures of poverty, namely; poverty incidence, poverty gap and severity of poverty, municipalities that have high estimates in the three poverty measures can be identified and targeted. These municipalities are those that are consistently in the list of 40 municipalities when each of the poverty measures was considered. This comprises a total of 31 municipalities as shown in Table 6. The Municipality of Siayan of Zamboaga del Norte in Region IX tops this list. Many residents of this municipality are poor with incomes that are far from the poverty line. In addition, the poor residents of the municipality are in very severe poverty state. Hence, being first in terms of the three poverty measures indicates that a considerable amount of resources is needed to alleviate poverty in this area. There are municipalities, which rank low in poverty incidences but rank high in poverty gap and severity of poverty. For example, the Municipality of Mabuhay in the Province of Zamboanga del Sur, has less percentage of poor residents but the condition of its poor residents is more severe compared to other municipalities. The case of the Municipality of Zumarraga of the Province of Western Samar of Region VIII, which was visited by four typhoons in 2003, is the opposite. There is a high percentage of poor residents in this municipality but the condition of the poor residents is less severe compared to other municipalities. The municipalities with high estimates on the three poverty measures are mostly from Mindanao provinces. Only three municipalities are from Luzon while five are from the Visayas. It is in Region IX where most of these municipalities can be found, specifically in the provinces of Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur. Each of these provinces has seven of its municipalities in the list. Other municipalities are from Lanao del Norte of Region X, Davao del Sur of Region XI and Agusan del Sur of the Caraga Region. Among the 1,622 cities and municipalities, these municipalities identified in Table 6 are said to have higher percentages of poor residents with incomes far from poverty line making their conditions more severe compared to others.

the highest poverty incidence with 13.2 percent, followed by San Nicolas and Intramuros, with 8.9 percent and 8.0 percent, respectively. In the second district, Pasig City had the highest poverty incidence estimated at 3.6 percent, followed by Quezon City (3.0 percent) and Mandaluyong City (3.0 percent). Navotas, which is also known as the fishing capital in the region, topped the list of the poorest municipalities in the third district with an estimated poverty incidence of 7.4 percent. This was followed by its nearby municipalities, Kalookan City and Malabon. The fourth district of NCR, consisting of five cities and two municipalities registered Taguig as its poorest municipality in 2003 with 5.2 percent of its total population classified as poor. Pateros, known for its balut-making industry, ranked 2nd poorest in the municipality at 4.1 percent followed by the City of Muntinlupa at 4.0 percent. Variables found to be significantly correlated with income in this region include those related to education, family size, and floor area of the house.

The municipality of San Francisco in Quezon, with an estimated poverty incidence of 60.9 percent, registered as the poorest municipality in the Region. It can also be observed that the five poorest municipalities in the Region are all from the province of Quezon. The variables used to estimate income and generate poverty incidence for the Region also include education-related variables and location variables (e.g., presence of a housing project or a telephone system in the barangay, and census means such as percentage of households in the municipalities owning a washing machine, subscribed to a telephone system, and other residential land). 7. MIMAROPA (Region (IV-B) MIMAROPA Region is composed of five provinces with 72 cities and municipalities. In contrast with the poverty situation in CALABARZON, majority of the areas in the Region have relatively high poverty incidence. As shown in Figure 9, very few municipalities have poverty incidence lower than 32 percent in 2003.

Poverty incidences of municipalities in the six provinces of the Region were relatively high, ranging from 22.8 percent to 72.5 percent, except for those located in the province of Albay2. As illustrated in the map, it can be observed that relatively high poverty incidence is concentrated in the municipalities of Masbate, while municipalities with low poverty incidences are concentrated in Albay.

It was observed that poverty incidence generated for Albay using the regional model developed in SAE was estimated as 15.1 percent with a CV of 3.7. The computed incidence is considered relatively low compared to the 2003 official poverty estimates of 42.7 percent with a CV of 7.3. While the Project Team recognizes that there may be other variables that are correlated with income (particularly for households of Albay), 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). Thus, users are adviced to take into consideration the above-mentioned concern in the analysis of the estimates for Albay, including all its cities and municipalities.

Consequently, municipalities from Western Samar were identified as the poorest municipalities in the Region with poverty incidence registering as high as 80 percent. It should be noted that variables on education, housing materials, and presence of community work in the barangay were found to be significantly related to income of families residing in the Region. 12. Zamboanga Peninsula (Region IX) The Zamboanga Peninsula is a region bounded by three bodies of water, namely Moro Gulf, Celebes Sea, and Sulu Sea. The Region consisting of three provinces, five cities and 67 municipalities is home to more than 3.2 million Filipinos based on the 2007 PopCen. As presented in Figure 14, poverty is heavily concentrated in Zamboanga del Norte. Ironically, the least poor municipality in the region, which was identified as Dipolog City with poverty incidence of 16.2 percent, is also located in this province.

municipalities in other provinces, with Sagay its poorest municipality, posting 38 percent in poverty incidence. Education of the household head, housing materials, presence of a street pattern in the barangay, proportion of households in the municipality with washing machine, and average proportion of household members who are children of the household head in the barangay were variables found to be significantly related to the income of families in the Region. 14. Southern Mindanao (Region XI) Southern Mindanao, home to almost 4.2 million Filipinos based on the 2007 PopCen or 19.3 percent of the total population in Mindanao, is composed of four provinces, with a total of six cities and 43 municipalities. Unfortunately, most of its residents, as shown in Figure 16, are still living in poverty. As can be observed in the map, the only areas shaded with dark green, which indicates poverty incidence of 18 percent and below, are areas of Davao City in Davao del Sur and City of Tagum in Davao del Norte.

Contrary to the situation in Davao City, considered as one of the more progressive cities in the country, other municipalities in the province particularly for the municipality of Jose Abad Santos, posted relatively high poverty incidences. Table 20 shows that poverty incidence in Jose Abad Santos was estimated at 84.6 percent, the highest among all the cities and municipalities in the Region. The municipalities of Don Marcelino and Sarangani, which are both located in Davao del Sur, ranked 2nd and 3rd poorest municipalities with poverty incidences of 80.8 and 78.7 percent, respectively. Variables found to be significantly related to income of families in this region include education variables, housing materials for urban areas, average family size in a barangay, and presence of electric power, telephone and housing project in a barangay. 15. Central Mindanao (Region XII) Based on the 2007 PopCen, the total population in Central Mindanao is home to more than 3.8 million or 4.3 percent of the countrys total population. It is composed of four provinces, with five cities and 45 municipalities, contributing 3.6 percent to the countrys total economy in 2003 the third largest contributor among the six regions in Mindanao. However, high incidences of poverty still persist in some of its municipalities, particularly those located in the southern part of the Region. As presented in Figure 17, poverty incidences of municipalities in Sultan Kudarat, South Cotabato, and Sarangani were estimated to be more than 60 percent.

Among the municipalities, the municipality of Tboli was estimated to have the highest poverty incidence in the region with 66.5 percent of its residents classified as poor. This was followed by Malapatan and Lake Sebu with poverty incidences estimated at 66.4 and 65.3 percent. It can also be noted that while Tboli and Lake Sebu have poverty incidences greater than 60 percent, all other municipalities in South Cotabato had poverty incidences not more than 40 percent.
Page 32
Variables found to be significantly related to the income of household are: education, proportion of persons in the municipality involved in agriculture, and presence of the following in the barangay: community work, hospitals, housing project, hotels and similar accommodation establishments. 16. Caraga Region The Caraga Administrative Region boasts of Butuan, the site of some of the oldest archeological discoveries in the country and Siargao Island, the surfing capital of the Philippines. The Region is composed of four provinces, with six cities and 67 municipalities and home to 2.3 million Filipinos based on the 2007 PopCen. As illustrated in Figure18, most of its residents were classified as poor in 2003, with most areas shaded red. In fact, only two areas were estimated to have poverty incidences lower than 32 percent, namely Butuan City and Nasipit, both of Agusan del Norte.

Among the municipalities in the Region, San Luis in Agusan del Sur was estimated to have the highest poverty incidence with 83.1 percent of its population or eight out of ten individuals considered to be poor in 2003. The 2nd and 3rd poorest municipalities in the region were also part of Agusan del Sur, namely, La Paz and Esperanza with poverty incidences of 79.7 percent and 78.4 percent, respectively. Variables that were significantly related to income of the families in this region were education, housing materials, presence of a market in a barangay, and proportion of individuals in the municipality five years and older who can speak Filipino. 17. Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) The Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) created in August 1, 1989 by virtue of Republic Act No. 6734 or known as the Organic Act of Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, is composed of five provinces, with one city and 93 municipalities. As presented in Figure 19, only five areas were estimated to have poverty incidences lower than 32 percent: Marawi City, Bubong, Buadiposo Buntung and Taraka, which are all in Lanao del Sur, and Lamitan in Basilan. Poverty incidences among municipalities in the Region were generally high ranging from 34.0 to 66.5 percent.

Among the cities and municipalities in the region, the municipality of Panglima Estino in Sulu posted the highest poverty incidence, estimated at 66.5 percent in 2003. This was followed by Sultan Gumander of Lanao del Sur at 65.7 percent and Luuk of Sulu at 65.4 percent. It can also be noted from Table 23 that among the five provinces, poverty incidences of municipalities in Basilan were relatively low as compared to the poverty incidences of other municipalities in the Region. Aside from proportion of households in the municipalities that has television, presence of health center in the barangay and proportion of non-Filipino citizen among urban municipalities, education variables were also found to be significantly related to income of families in ARMM.

III. Actual Policy Uses Behind all these efforts by the NSCB to generate small area estimates of poverty, there is a need for statistical capacity building among the producers, users and the providers of statistics. As the NSCB responds to the need to produce more relevant statistics, there is a strong need for the data users to demonstrate better use of statistics to improve the relevance of the NSCB and the PSS. A. Philippines It is worth noting that the results of the earlier poverty mapping project undertaken by the NSCB played a significant role, especially in policy formulation and targeting. Following is a list of actual policy uses of the 2000 small area estimates of poverty released in 2005, which can also serve as a reference for other policyand decision-makers:
1. Targeting Beneficiaries of Programs/Projects

1.1 The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) used the small area estimates of poverty in their Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program to identify the poorest municipalities from the 20 poorest provinces. Data will be collected from residents of these municipalities to determine beneficiaries of their poverty reduction programs. 1.2 The National Nutrition Council (NNC) and DSWD used the small area estimates of poverty in December 2007 to identify priority households for the Pamaskong Handog of GMA. 1.3 The Department of Agriculture (DA) used the 2000 small area estimates of poverty as one criterion in the identification of target sites of the Cordillera Highland Agricultural Resources Management Project (CHARMP II). 1.4 The Regional Development Council of Region I (RDC I) used the 2000 small area estimates of poverty in the identification of common priority areas for poverty-related programs in the region.
Page 36
1.5
The Regional KALAHI Convergence Group (RKCG) used the estimates to serve as one of the bases in identifying its convergence municipalities throughout the region (e.g., MIMAROPA, Region VI).
1.6
The NSCB RD VI provided a list of the five poorest municipalities for each of the six provinces of the region to the Office of the Presidential Adviser for Regional Development (OPARD). The list will be used in identifying target municipalities for the livelihood projects of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). These projects include the Integrated Services for Livelihood Advancement of Fisherfolks (ISLA) and Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged Workers (TUPAD).
1.7
The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation used the results as inputs to determine target enrolment for its health insurance sponsored programs in 2007 (e.g.,Regions VIII and XII).
1.8
The small area poverty estimates were used by the Local Government Units (LGUs) in Antique, DSWD, Department of Education (DepEd) and National Food Authority (NFA) in the estimation of the volume of rice needed for the Food for Children Program in the province.
1.9
The MPAI-World Vision used the poverty mapping results to determine priority municipalities in Leyte in May 2007 for: (i) sponsorship program for schooling of indigent children; and (ii) for micro-enterprise development (MED) projects.
1.10 The DSWD used the municipal poverty incidences in identifying priority municipalities for Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS) (e.g., Samar). 1.11 The LGUs in Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga Sibugay used the SAE of poverty extensively for the allocation of funds to and implementation of projects in priority/depressed areas.
Page 37
2. 2.1
Policy Formulation and Planning The SAE of poverty were used as reference by the Millennium Development Goals International Conference on Population and Development (MDG-ICPD) Localization Task Force in Region VI in its orientation to various Provincial Poverty Reduction Action Teams (PPRATs), in the design and implementation of their local poverty action plan.
2.2
The estimates were used by the KALAHI CIDDSS Project Management Team in Region VIII (RPMT) for project planning.
2.3
The NEDA XII used the estimates as inputs for their study on the socio economic reconstruction and development of conflict-affected areas in Mindanao and in the revision of their Medium Term Regional Development Plan (MTRDP).
2.4
The Runggiyan Social Development Foundation used the estimates in the preparation of a proposal on the Infrastructure for Rural Productivity Enhancement Sector Project of Barugo, Leyte.
2.5
The Compostela Valley Provincial Government used the results in the revision of their Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan and in the preparation of their Provincial Plan for Children.
3. 3.1
Poverty Monitoring Various local government units (LGUs) of Regions I, IV, and VIII used the estimates in monitoring the attainment of the MDGs at the local level as basis in setting the MDG targets (Goal 1) as well as in the preparation of their MDG action plans in 2006.
3.2
The LGUs in CALABARZON used the small area poverty estimates, along with the official poverty statistics, in the preparation of their 2007 State of the Children Report.
Page 38
3.3
The NEDA Regional Development Council (NEDA RDC) used the estimates in the assessment of interventions being provided to the poorest municipalities in Eastern Visayas and for future targeting purposes of the different local government agencies.
3.4
The NNC Region VIII used the estimates in assessing the nutritional situation of municipalities in the region in October 2007.
3.5
The Asia Pacific and Policy Center (APPC)/Human Development Network (HDN) used the estimates as inputs in the preparation of the La Union Provincial Development Report.
3.6
The estimates were used by the LGUs in La Union in the development of their Provincial MDG database
Further, it is worth-noting that the relevance of the 2003 intercensal small area estimates of poverty was already demonstrated by various government agencies, within seven months3 from its release in September 2008. Below is a list of the actual policy uses of the 2003 estimates: 1. The 2003 intercensal small area estimates of poverty was used by the DSWD as basis for prioritizing target households for the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTSPR) as well as in their conditional cash transfer (CCT) program presently being implemented.
2.
The DOLE, Department of Health (DOH), and the Professional Regulation Commission, Board of Nursing (PRC-BON) used the 2003 SAE of poverty as inputs in the design and implementation of their collaborative training/deployment Project on Nurses Assigned in Rural Service (NARS). The Project aims to mobilize unemployed registered nurses to the 1,000 poorest municipalities in the country to improve the delivery of health care services.
As of March 2009.

B. International community Small area estimation methodology has been used not only in the Philippines but in numerous countries around the world. The following are just some of the experiences in the different countries around the world as presented by Dr. Roy van der Weide during the National Dissemination Forum last 4 September 2008: 1. Indonesia 1.1 In 2005, the government of Indonesia decided to cut fuel subsidies. The resulting increase in fuel prices would particularly affect the poor, and the government planned to cushion this negative shock by providing unconditional cash transfers to the poor. The Ministry of Finance used the poverty maps to estimate the budget for the cash transfers (Ahmad and Goh, 2007). 2. Cambodia 2.1 The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has used the poverty map as a guide in selecting target areas for agro-ecosystems analysis and to target the poorest communes for agricultural productivity improvement and crop diversification (Fujii, 2007). 3. China 3.1 Food-and-cash for work programs make use of the surplus labor resources in poor areas to build infrastructure such as roads, water management structures and drinking water treatment facilities. The program aims at providing poor farmers with job opportunities and sources of income (Ahmand and Goh, 2007). 4. Morocco 4.1 The impact of the poverty maps on Moroccan social policy has been strong and direct. They were released in June 2004, which was followed by a World Bank analysis of poverty and targeting at the local level, and in
Page 40
May 2005, King Mohammed VI launched the National Initiative for Human Development. One Billion USD would be allocated, half of which would be invested in the poorest 360 rural communes and poorest 250 urban neighborhoods (Litvack, 2007). 4.2 Poverty maps played a role in promoting local governance. areas in which they live. The maps
provided citizens and local officials with relative poverty rankings of the This empowered them to question the government allocations to their communes and hold government officials accountable for any lack of equitable treatment in the geographical distribution of government programs (Litvack, 2007). 5. Bulgaria 5.1 Immediately after the 2005 maps had been completed, the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy (MLSP) organized consultations with the mayors and other representatives of the 13 poorest municipalities, which resulted in the development of an ad hoc Program for Poverty Reduction It identified priority areas for intervention and the allocation of resources, including the generation of employment, especially among the long-term unemployed and disadvantaged groups in the labor market (Gotcheva, 2007). 5.2 Contributed in reducing poverty in the disadvantaged municipalities by creating alternative income sources such as agro-industries, bio-fuels, rural tourism, local crafts, wood working, carpentry (Gotcheva, 2007).
Page 41
IV.
Conclusions and Recommendations 1. Using the modified ELL methodology, 1,380 out of 1,622 (85%) city and municipal level estimates for 2003 have Cvs not greater than 20 percent. 2. For further improvement of the estimates, inclusion of other indicators in the conduct of survey (i.e., FIES) or census (i.e., CPH) may be considered, such as migration and tourism indicators. Inclusion of these variables in the development of the regional models will likely improve poverty estimates that will be generated.
3.
In the intercensal updating of small area poverty estimates, variables to be used in the model-building process need not be restricted to only those that are considered to be time-invariant. Possibility of using regression model(s) to come up with intercensal estimates of independent variables, which may possibly be significantly correlated with income but may vary over time.
4.
Cognizant of the importance of this information for targeting and policymaking, the NSCB would like to update these estimates to further guide the national and local governments in targeting priority areas in the implementation of poverty reduction programs of the government. However, as this is beyond the regular work of the NSCB and in light of its limited manpower and financial resources, the Government should realize that statistics play a critical role for coming up with informed decisions, better design of programs; hence, should invest more on statistics.
5.
Behind all these efforts by the NSCB to generate small area estimates of poverty, there is a need for 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.

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. Poverty Threshold - the minimum income/expenditure required for a family/individual to meet the basic food and non-food requirements
Notes: 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.
2.
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
Page 44
4. Poverty Gap - the total income/ expenditure shortfall (expressed in proportion to the poverty threshold) of families/ individuals with income/ expenditure below the poverty threshold, divided by the total number of families/ individuals
5.
Severity of Poverty - the total of the squared income/expenditure shortfall (expressed in proportion to the poverty threshold) of families/ individuals with income/expenditure below the poverty threshold, divided by the total number of families/ individuals
Notes: This is equal to the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) family of measures with alpha = 2. It is a poverty measure, which is sensitive to the income/ expenditure distribution among the poor the worse this distribution is, the more severe poverty is.

B. Methodology 1. Overview 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 techniques that can be used to generate statistics at the local area. One of these techniques is the 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 with funding assistance from the World Bank used the ELL method to generate the municipal and city level poverty statistics for 2000. As mentioned in the previous section, 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 model4 for the whole country to predict the family income per capita in logarithmic form. The situation, however, is different in 2003. While there are no census data set for the year to speak of there is a nationwide survey, which is the usual source of poverty statistics, in 2003. Thus, in updating the small area poverty estimates from
Regression is a statistical tool used to predict one variable using other variables/information. For example, one can predict a salespersons total yearly sales using information on age, education and years of experience of the salesperson.

Page 46
the census year 2000 to the intercensal year 2003, a slightly different approach was used. The information from the 2003 FIES, 2003 LFS and 2000 CPH were combined to estimate poverty incidence, poverty gap, and poverty severity for the provincial and municipal levels. Statistical regression is used to predict per capita family income, expressed in natural logarithmic form Y, using explanatory variables, which are denoted as X. Similarly with 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 Xs used in modeling 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 were 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 requires 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 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 modeling using 2003 survey information but fitting the model using 2000 census data, which is of a different reference period. To address the issue, the survey-obtainable variables were carefully evaluated. First, the survey and census questionnaires were examined carefully not only to identify which questions refer to equivalent information but also those, which are time-invariant. Time invariance implies that the characteristic is not likely to change from time to time, or at least in three years in this case. This can be done by purposely collapsing some categories of answers to pre-defined categories. For example, a binary variable head_athsgrad1 can be created, with value 1 if the head of the household is at least high school graduate and 0 otherwise. If the head of the household is at least high school graduate in 2000, he/she is still at least high school graduate in 2003. When there are sufficient number of time-invariant variables that have been created, appropriate summary statistics are compared for the survey and census data. A variable will be included in the list of possible Xs if the summary statistics for the census data is within the confidence interval of the survey data. Likewise, location-effect variables represented by the census are also considered. After identifying possible Xs, several regression models were developed to estimate the natural logarithmic form of per capita income Y. A reasonable model is then chosen which satisfies the following practical criteria (in addition to the usual regression diagnostics): The relationship of the variables, whether positive or negative, on Y is generally consistent with earlier researches on poverty (e.g. education should have a positive effect on income). The models should be robust, which means that small changes to the model do not greatly affect the significance or signs of the variables. Estimated regional poverty incidence does not largely differ from the official regional poverty estimates. Selected regional models were then used to generate 2003 per capita income for all households in the CPH and these were compared to the poverty lines to estimate the different poverty measures, poverty incidence, poverty gap and severity of poverty at the provincial, city and municipal levels.

2. Data Sources A. 2003 Official Poverty Statistics The NSCB generates official poverty statistics based on the NSCB Resolution No. 1 Series of 2003, Approving the Proposed Methodology for the Computation of Provincial Poverty Statistics. Official Poverty Statistics include food threshold, The 2003 official provincial poverty threshold, subsistence incidence, poverty incidence, magnitude of poor, income gap, poverty gap and severity of poverty. poverty thresholds, with urban and rural disaggregation, were applied in the estimation of the 2003 small area poverty estimates in this Project. B. This study also made used of the following datasets from the National Statistics Office (NSO): 2003 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) The FIES is a nationwide survey conducted every three years where information on household income and expenditure, as well as, some socio-demographic characteristics of the household head are collected. It is the main source of data in the estimation of official poverty statistics in the country. The 2003 FIES is a regular module of the Integrated Survey of Household (ISH), which contains 42,094 sample households, distributed across the 17 regions of the country. January 2004 Round of the Labor Force Survey (LFS) The LFS is another regular module of the ISH conducted every quarter of the year. It collects data on the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of population 15 years old and over. Sample households of the second and fourth quarter round of the LFS coincide with the sample households of the FIES. Thus, these two data sets were combined to form a richer data set. 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.

3. Implementation of the Methodology5 This section presents a general perspective on small area estimation following the ELL method implemented in the Philippines for the intercensal year 2003. As the methodology used in this updating is similar to the previous poverty mapping project up to a certain extent, some parts of this section are lifted directly from the previous Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines report. a. Introduction/Background In introducing the concept of small area estimation, we consider the thrust of the national government of alleviating the poverty status of the country. To maximize the effect of any poverty alleviation program, there are a number of factors that have to be carefully taken into account before implementation. One of the most common considerations is the proper identification of priority areas. Answers to questions such as which areas need most help and assistance from the government are often sought from national surveys that provide information on poverty indicators. Needless to say, users want surveys to have as much coverage as that of a census. However, this is not usually feasible because survey coverage is directly proportional to the amount of administrative and financial resources required to carry out the survey. Thus, surveys being incomplete enumeration of all 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 2003 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
Most of the procedures discussed in this section were implemented using PovMap version 2.06. PovMap is a software package that computes poverty and inequality indicators at a spatially disaggregated level.

estimates beyond the survey domain. There are a number of small area techniques and among them is the ELL method used to generate the municipal poverty statistics for the census year 2000. In updating the small area poverty estimates from the 2000 census year to the intercensal year 2003, a similar approach was used. The information from the 2003 FIES, 2003 Labor Force Survey (LFS), and 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) were combined to estimate poverty incidence, poverty gap, and poverty severity at the provincial and municipal levels. Statistical regression was used to predict per capita family income, expressed in natural logarithmic form6, Y, using explanatory variables, which we denote as X. b. Selection of Explanatory Variables Similar to the earlier poverty mapping project, X can be classified into two types: the survey-obtainable variables, at the household or individual level (e.g., educational attainment of household head, etc.); and the census-derivable location variables, which correspond to barangay or municipal means (e.g., existence of a market in the barangay). It is important that X used in modeling should be (a) available both in the survey and census; (b) comparable and/or consistent with both the survey and census (i.e., X follows the same definition in both survey and census) and (c) have survey and census statistics (mean value) that match. It may be noted that the overall objective is to compute city and municipal level poverty statistics, with reliable and/or acceptable levels of precision. This can be done by modeling 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 population. Effectively, strength is borrowed from the census which has a larger coverage than the survey. Note that such procedure requires that the variables constituting X should also be available from the census. In addition to availability, comparability is also an essential component in order to make the substitution of X with its census counterpart to compute predicted (per capita) family income become valid.

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. Page 51
In the earlier poverty mapping project, 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 2003 while census data is for 2000, and our goal is to come up with 2003 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 modeling using 2003 survey information but fitting the model using 2000 census data. To address the issue, survey-obtainable variables were carefully screened by examining the survey and census questionnaires not only to identify which questions elicit equivalent information but also those, which are timeinvariant. 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 2003, he / she also has no formal education in 2000. When as many as possible of these at least type of variables have been created, appropriate summary statistics are compared for the survey and census data. A variable will be included in the list of explanatory variables X if the summary statistics for the census data is within the confidence interval of the survey data. Likewise, we also include in the list of explanatory variables X, location-effect variables represented by the census means.

c. Statistical Modeling This section provides a brief discussion of the regression modeling for per capita income (Note: Please refer to the Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines released in 2005 for a discussion of more advanced statistical concepts such as multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity modeling, and bootstrapping.). 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 variability of Y, it is operationally useful to construct more time-invariant variables. This was done by computing two-way interactions among variables in X. Interactions of explanatory variables with urbanity were also computed. These approaches created more household-level auxiliary data. Separate models were fitted for each geographic region. The objective is to tailor the model to account for the differences of geographic regions in the country, such as spatial peculiarities. The set of geographic barangays comprise the clusters. Per geographic region, computing through PovMap begins in the estimation of the income function, ln Yij = E[ln Yij | Xij] + uij (1)
where Yij is the per capita income of jth household in ith cluster, X is the 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.
Page 56
d. Development and Selection of Final Model After model estimation and fitting of parameter estimates to census, it is necessary to undo the log transform used for Y, also implemented through PovMap. The set of official provincial poverty thresholds for the year 2003 was used to compute poverty estimates. These estimates were determined at the municipal, provincial and regional levels. Bootstrap estimates were summarized by their mean and standard deviation giving a point estimate and standard error for the desired level of disaggregation. Bootstrapping is used to provide 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 similarity of (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 is also useful in identifying over-fitted models, aberrant fluctuations as well as robustly significant variables. Further, the resulting model-based poverty estimates at the regional levels were also compared to direct survey estimates. Selection of a reasonable model for a specific region was done by considering the following criteria: The relationship of the variables, whether positive or negative, on Y is generally consistent with earlier researches on poverty (e.g. education should have a positive effect on income). The models should be robust, which means that small changes to the model do not greatly affect the significance or signs of the variables. Estimated regional poverty incidence does not largely differ from the official regional poverty estimates. As illustrated in Figure 20, regional poverty incidences based on SAE are relatively close to the official poverty estimates although when they differ, SAE tends to underestimate poverty a bit.
Page 57
Figure 20 Official vs. SAE Poverty Incidence by Region, 2003
60.0 50.0 40.0 SAE 30.0 20.0 10.0 10.0 20.0 30.0 Official 40.0 50.0 60.0
This was also observed in a similar exercise in Vietnam. Possible reasons could be the following: 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.

4.Limitations of the Study a. Data In the absence of a census, as well as panel data in 2003, in which case, survey household income from 2003 can be linked to X variables in 2000, only timeinvariant variables7 or location effect variables/census means were used in the development of the regression models to predict income of households in 2003. 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 are negatively correlated with income. Hence, it is expected to over-predict income, resulting to an underestimation of poverty. b. Estimation of Magnitude of Poor Population in 2003 To be able to come up with the magnitude of poor population in 2003, poverty incidence in each municipality was multiplied with the estimated total population in each municipality. With estimated total population by municipality computed using the following data: 2000-based population projection for 2003 (provincial level) 2000-based population projection for 2007 (provincial level) Actual Population for 2007 (provincial and municipal level)
The difference between the 2007 projections and actual population at the provincial level were computed and used to adjust the 2000-based population projection for 2003. Further, the distribution of the 2007 actual population among the municipalities was also used to estimate the municipal level population projection for 2003.
Time-invariant variables are variables considered to be stable over time.

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 atypical of the province/region may not be fully captured by the model. 1. Siayan, Zamboanga del Norte This municipality is characterized8 as follows: Ranked as the poorest municipality in 2003 Has farming and fishing is known to be the common source of income Located very far from the poblacion (i.e., approx. 7 hrs. away) with roads that are described to be rugged and rough. Yet it was found that GIS-based maps of poverty related indicators done by NSCB Regional Division IX (NSCB RD IX) presented good status of the municipality, except for malnutrition. It was also noted that an e-center of the National Computer Center (NCC) has been established in this municipality. 2. Albay It was observed that poverty incidence generated for Albay using the regional model developed in SAE was estimated as 15.1 percent with a CV of 3.7. The computed incidence is considered relatively low compared to the 2003 official poverty estimates of 42.7 percent with a CV of 7.3. While the Project Team recognizes that there may be other variables that are correlated with income (particularly for households of Albay), 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).
Per consultation with NSCB Regional Division IX.
Page 64
d. Non-inclusion of variables on migration and tourism Although it has been recognized that migration and tourism might be significant variables that could have been considered in the model building, these were not included in the model due to limited time and data available. (Note: Tourism was somehow incorporated in the model building through the census variable number of hotel or accommodation establishments in the barangay). Nevertheless, with the availability of data on these areas of concern, the NSCB plans to consider these in the future endeavors on SAE. e. Comparison of the 2000 and 2003 SAE It is recognized that trend analysis, specifically for poverty measurement, is important. However, in consideration of the differences in model building, such as: National model for 2000 SAE and regional models for 2003 SAE 2003 models were only developed using time invariant variables, locationeffect/census means Thus, it might not be appropriate to do a trend analysis from 2000 SAE to 2003 SAE.

C. Validation Workshops 1. Objectives Similar to the earlier poverty mapping project, which the NSCB conducted in 2004-2005, a series of provincial validation exercises were conducted in order to assess the acceptability and consistency of the estimates generated. These exercises were done to assess how well the estimates relate to the assessment of local government units, the academe, and non-government organizations in the province. Specifically, these activities aim to: Solicit the participants expert opinion and intimate knowledge of the poverty situation in their province; Present the initial results of the Intercensal Project; 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; Serve as an advocacy for poverty mapping at the local level; and Convince the local government units (LGUs) to invest on and appreciate statistics. 2. Mechanics Invited workshop participants were composed of: Group 1: Provincial key informants with detailed knowledge of all the municipalities in the province, e.g., provincial planning and development coordinator. Group 2: Municipal key informants, e.g., representatives from the municipal planning and development offices. The participants were asked to accomplish the validation form, which included the indicators significant in the small area modeling procedure, other correlates of poverty, and the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) indicators. The following indicators were included in the validation form: - Level of educational attainment - Age dependency ratio
- Employment - Absence of malnourished or underweight children under 5 years of age - Maternal mortality ratio - Access to health facilities - Literacy rate - Ownership of residence - Quality of housing - Access to safe water - Access to sanitary toilet - Access to electricity - Ownership of refrigerator - Peace and order 3. Workshop Design a. Areas that were covered include: Province 1. Sorsogon (29 April to 2 May 2008) Ranked 29 poorest; Representative of a poor province Poverty incidence from 2000 to 2003 dropped by 7.6 percentage points from 41.4% to 33.7%, respectively; then, posting 43.5% in 2006. Ranked 43th poorest; Representative of a not very poor province 2003 FIES sample size: 68 2003 estimated HHs (based on FIES): 15,509 Ranked 14th poorest; Representative of a very poor province For continuity of assessment/validation; One of the validation exercises in the earlier 2000 Poverty Mapping Project was conducted in Palawan.

c. Field Validation In addition to the validation workshops conducted, ocular assessments were also done in some of the municipalities/barangays of the three provinces. Members of the Team were asked to accomplish an Ocular Assessment Form (See Annex C) containing the different variables found to be significant in the regional model. These were done for the Team to gain better insights on the province, as well as validate whether the variables are truly reflective of the actual poverty situation in the municipalities. Through these ocular assessments, some of the SAE results were verified such as Donsol being a poor municipality (perceived by some of the workshop participants as relatively non-poor municipality because of its popularity as a tourist destination) with most houses still made of light materials including those along the highway. These also gave the members of the Team the chance to actually talk to people residing in the visited municipalities and understand better their way of life.

5. Matrix of Findings In the validation workshops conducted in the three provinces, some of the general insights and findings of the Team were as follows: As the design of the validation form is expected to exhibit memory bias, it is not surprising that participants encountered some difficulties in recalling the situation five years ago. The results generated from the SAE methodology did not produce a unique ranking of the municipalities. While the poverty incidences were unique, due to sampling errors, it was not possible to establish definitive rankings of municipalities. SAE rankings were generally consistent with the participants assessment, except for some municipalities. The following were specific observations in each of the provinces:
Province 1. Sorsogon Aspect Methodology and regional model Reactions/Remarks The model does not include tourismspecific variables as significant predictors of income. Presence of financial institutions was included as one of the variables in the initial regional model of Bicol. However, per the citizens perception, this is not a strong indicator of the economic situation for all municipalities. Validation results Donsol ranked poorest in SAE but 10th poorest (among 16) based on participants assessment. A participant from an NGO noted that in their recently conducted poverty mapping activity in Sorsogon, Donsol also ranked as poorest, consistent with SAE. Participants also noted that their assessments are mostly based on their perception as a number of them have yet to personally see/visit Donsol.

Province 2. Camiguin
Aspect Methodology and regional model
Reactions/Remarks In appreciation of the SAE experience and the usefulness of lower-level poverty statistics, they have strongly expressed interest to invest on statistics within their province (e.g., conduct of their own community-based data collection activities). Further, they stressed the need for their participation (e.g., as enumerators) in national governmentinitiated surveys/censuses.
Validation results
Sagay was identified to be the poorest municipality based on SAE but participants perceive it to be Guinsiliban. The following were noted as slightly varied rankings were observed: 1) There were only five municipalities in Camiguin; 2) Range of poverty incidence, excluding least poor, is 30.1 to 36.8
3. Palawan
Methodology and regional model Validation results
There is general agreement in the model developed for the region. The participants strongly recommended the exclusion of Kalayaan as this is a government regulated island. Hence, its characteristics are not comparable to the rest of the municipalities. During the validation workshop, municipal rankings of some participants slightly differed with the rankings based on SAE. Although, it should be noted that some participants have yet to personally see/visit some municipalities. Nonetheless, this was addressed by the Project by further improving the models based on the result of the validation workshop. Like what happened in Region V wherein the number of financial institutions in the barangay was considered to be dropped from the model.

D. Advocacy 1. National Dissemination Forum A National Dissemination Forum was held on 4 September 2008 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel to: a. Present the project results, providing details on the methodology and variables used; b. Serve as a venue for the exchange of ideas and discussion of the estimates produced through the project; c. Develop awareness among national government agencies, the academe, nongovernment organizations, local government units and other institutions/ organizations on the importance of the small area estimation methodology and the results generated. Some of the important points raised during the forum include: Suggestion to include the magnitude of poor families in the poverty estimates to reflect the density of poverty across the country. An attempt to generate estimates of the magnitude of poor population has been done during the presentation of the SAE to the Congress, however, it should be noted that it entailed a number of assumptions since 2003 actual population is not available. Provided in Annex E is the table with magnitude of poor population. Possibility of generating poverty estimates at the barangay level. While it is possible to generate poverty estimates at the barangay level, the estimates might not even be useful or acceptable to data users due to expected large errors of the estimates. Difference of the 2003 small area poverty estimates with the 2003 official poverty estimates and how to relate them. Which provincial ranking should be used? Although it has been presented during the forum that the 2003 provincial poverty estimates based on SAE have lower coefficients of variation as compared to the official poverty estimates, the SAE methodology adopted in the Philippines is still undergoing further review/refinements/ improvements. Thus, ranking of poverty estimates should still be based on the 2003 official poverty estimates. Need for better data dissemination schemes for better appreciation at the local level. As NSCB recognized the need to communicate the results of the Project to policy makers and local government units, presentations have been
Page 76
done with various data users of poverty. In addition, this final report has also been prepared such that it will be more user-friendly, easy to understand and not very technical. Timeliness of release of poverty data. At present, the generation of SAE is not yet included in the regular work of NSCB since this exercise will entail additional resources and manpower. However, its implementation is part of the future plans of NSCB. Possibility of partnership between the Philippine Statistical System (PSS) and the local government units (LGUs), specifically, in maximizing the use of Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS) database. This issue was raised by the City Planning and Development Coordinator (CPDC) of Pasay City as one of the discussant during the forum. The NSCB, in response, has already communicated with the Office of the Mayor the willingness of NSCB to provide technical assistance in the analysis of CBMS data. Use of the SAE in monitoring poverty over time. It is recognized that monitoring of poverty over time is important, specifically, if we want to determine whether gains in poverty reduction programs have been significant. However, with a slight variation of the methodology used in the earlier project, (used of only time-invariant variables in the model and developing regional models in the 2003 SAE, as compared to the national model used in the earlier project) it might not be appropriate to do a trend analysis between the 2000 and 2003 SAE. Explore other SAE methods, such as the Bayes Hierarchical Model. This may be considered in the future studies of NSCB on SAE. Effectiveness of the SAE method in estimating poverty, specifically when dealing with non-censal year, considering the fact that one is only limited into using time-invariant variables. In this Project, regional models using only timeinvariant variables were able to produce poverty estimates with acceptable level of error for most of the provinces and even for majority of the cities and municipalities. Variables such as housing materials, which were considered to be timeinvariant, can actually be affected by typhoon and other external factors. While this may be correct, average values were used in the computation of estimates thereby negating the contribution of extreme values.
Page 77
As this is a regression modeling study, there is a need to also present the diagnostic checks done to assess the effectiveness/robustness of the models developed. In the dissemination fora, the results of the diagnostic tests were not fully discussed because of time limitation but in this report, indicators used to assess the appropriateness of the models are provided.
Use of consumption/expenditure instead of income as welfare measure. There is indeed a debate on the use of consumption/expenditure instead of income in welfare measure. However, since the official methodology of poverty measures in the Philippines makes use of income, the study considered the same as the welfare measure.
Given the assumption of area homogeneity with the use of regional models, questions on how cultural diversity and conflict areas, specifically in Mindanao, were taken into consideration in the models developed. The cultural diversity within a region was not accounted for in the model building process since there is no measure of such characteristic in the data sets used in the study.
Need to make available subsistence incidence, which are useful to government agencies like the DSWD who are targeting those who are food poor. This may actually be done but will entail some time. Also, DSWD has already started using the ranking of provinces and municipalities based on poverty incidence among families.
Need to check the consistency of the model and estimates across the years, 2000, 2003 and 2006. It might not be appropriate to do a comparative analysis of the 2000 and 2003 SAE because of its differences in the model building: a) national model for 2000 and regional model for 2003 and b) 2003 model were developed using only time-invariant variables.
It might be useful to compare the result of the CBMS data with the SAE. Although comparison of the result of the CBMS and SAE is feasible, it must be noted that the methodologies used in these two studies as well as the data sets are different. Hence, the comparison is baseless.
The sustainability of this activity, specifically, on whether there will already be a regular generation of SAE through the help of World Bank. It is recognized that World Bank can only support this activity to a certain extent and thus, the NSCB, and also with the help of World Bank, started to explore other possibilities like seeking the help of Congress to fund this activity and make it part of the regular work of NSCB.

2. Various presentations to various agencies/organizations Various presentations on the SAE were also made to the following to disseminate the results and methodology, generate comments and gather support, specifically from policymakers, to be able to have the necessary resources to sustain the generation of small area poverty estimates: House of Representatives through the Congressional Planning and Budget Department (CPBD) NSCB Executive Board Provincial Social Welfare and Development in Rizal Inter-agency Committee of the Department of Labor and Employment National Economic Development Authority - Region IV-A UP Junior Executive Society UNSD / UNESCAP Workshop on MDG Monitoring
Page 79
E. Lessons Learned 1. In producing SAE on poverty, variables to be used in the model-building process need not be restricted to only those that are time-invariant. Possible regressors that are perceived to be significantly correlated with income, but may vary over time, may be estimated through regression modeling. 2. Use of latest/up-to-date version of the PovMap software is expected to greatly improve the model building process. 3. In designing and conducting validation/dissemination workshops, the following should have been considered by the Team to ensure outputs presented are fully optimized: Inclusion of an activity wherein participants will be requested to identify actual programs in their locality where the small area poverty estimates presented to them can possibly be used.
Identification of more targeted participants by selecting agencies/ organization which are possible users of the estimates.
