OVERVIEW OF EASTERN VISAYAS
Eastern Visayas or Region VIII is composed of the three major islands of Leyte, Samar and
Biliran. It has 6 provinces: Biliran, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Northern Samar, Southern Leyte, and
Samar; 7 cities: Tacloban (highly urbanized city), as the regional capital, Borongan, Baybay, Ormoc,
Maasin, Calbayog and Catbalogan; 136 municipalities, and 4,390 barangays. It has a total land area of
23,234.8 square kilometers which accounts for 7.7 percent of the country’s land area.
Strategically linking the islands of Luzon and Mindanao via the National Maharlika Highway,
the region serves as the only gateway to northern and southern parts of the country. It is home to its
longest and most graceful-looking bridge, the San Juanico Bridge, and the tallest, the Agas-Agas
Bridge.
Based on the 2015 Census of Population, the region has a total population of 4.4 million and a
population density of about 191 persons per square kilometer. The locales are called Waray but some
Cebuano-speaking residents also settle in Ormoc City, Western Leyte and parts of Southern Leyte.
Dubbed as the geothermal capital of the Philippines, the Tongonan Geothermal Plants known
as the Leyte Geothermal Power Field (LGPF) is the second geothermal power producer in the world.
The region also sits one of the country’s top dollar earners, the Philippine Associated Smelting and
Refinery Corporation (PASAR).
Rich in natural resources, vast agricultural lands with fertile soil and abundant water sources,
the region is the sixth largest producer of coconut and second largest producer of abaca among the 17
regions in the country.
The vision of Eastern Visayas, as gleaned from its Regional Development Plan (RDP) 2017-
2022, is spliced on its long-term aim to become a resilient and prosperous region where people enjoy
equitable socioeconomic opportunities for and benefits of sustainable human development. The
pursuit of which is anchored on twin regional goals: 1) robust and sustained economic growth, and 2)
reduced poverty and inequality in all dimensions - geared on three economic growth drivers:
agriculture and fisheries, manufacturing, and tourism.

Chapter 1
POPULATION AND HOUSING
D ata on size, distribution, growth and demographic characteristics of the population and
the stock and condition of housing are essential in the planning
and decision making processes of the governmental instrumentalities and private businesses
alike. The data provide the bases in determining what, where, how and when public services,
facilities and interventions should be put in place. The impact of services, programs and
projects implemented are measured vis-à-vis the effects in the socioeconomic well-being of
the populace, as the ultimate beneficiaries of governance and development. Entrepreneurs,
corporate executives and managers in the private sector use the data in making decisions on
the level, form, programming, distribution, and situs of resources that will be invested. The
returns in their investments are largely determined by their responses to the market created by
the demands of the consumers and readiness to supply goods and services that satisfy the
needs and capabilities of the public.
This chapter presents data pertaining to the region by province/city/municipality, where

available. The data include population counts during several censuses conducted nationwide
as well as the demographic characteristics, migration patterns and housing units. Projected
population of the region, which are estimated based on the result of the population census are
also presented. The data sources are the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), Department of
Budget and Management, Home Mutual Development Fund (PAG-IBIG Fund), and
Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO).

Chapter 2
INCOME AND PRICES
D ata on the levels and patterns of family income and expenditure, poverty incidence and
threshold and price indices are vital indicators of the socioeconomic status of
the people. Specifically, these data provide a picture of the standard of living, the varying
degrees of inequality, the purchasing capacity, and the demand for goods and services of
families. The data are essential in the conceptualization and assessment of poverty alleviation
programs of government, private and non-government organizations. The data have become more
significant to all sectors now that genuine efforts are being demonstrated in pursuing the social
reform agenda. The trends, patterns and signals shown by the data have been given wide and
serious attention due to the far reaching ramifications on policies and programs aimed at people
empowerment. The usage of the data has accordingly permeated all echelons of the government
bureaucracy, private businesses and even ordinary citizens themselves. With the support provided
by the data, interventions can be implemented to help the citizenry respond to situations brought
about by the increased prices and incidence of poverty and low income capacity, among others.
This chapter presents data on incomes and expenditures and the consumer price indices.
Several indicators derived from these basic data such as poverty incidence and threshold, income
gap, poverty gap, severity of poverty, inflation rate and purchasing power of the peso are also
shown in this chapter. The income, expenditures and price data are generated from the results of
the Family Income and Expenditures Survey (FIES) and price surveys of the Philippine Statistics
Authority. The provincial poverty statistics and municipal level poverty estimates, on the other
hand, are computed by the Philippine Statistics Authority using the results of the FIES, LFS and
Census of Population.
Highlights
 The average annual family income (at current prices) in Eastern Visayas increased by
18.7 percent from Php166,000 in 2012 to Php197,000 in 2015. Similarly, average annual
family expenditure (at current prices) went up by
18.2 percent from Php132,000 in 2012 to Php156,000 in 2015.
 Poverty incidence among families in Eastern Visayas decreased from 37.4 percent in
2012 to 30.7 percent in 2015. Moreover, the Annual per Capita Poverty Threshold in the
region significantly increased to Php21,304 in 2015 from Php18,076 in 2012. With this
threshold, a family of five needed at least Php 8,877 on the average every month to meet
the family’s basic food and non-food needs.
 In 2016, the average inflation rate of the region was posted at 1.3 percent. Among the
provinces, Southern Leyte recorded the highest average inflation rate at 3.6 percent.
Samar, on the other hand, had the lowest at -0.7 percent.

Notes:
1. Poverty estimates for the basic sectors for 2006 and 2009, which were released on June 2012 were revised
based on the following:
a) adoption of the new urban and rural classification in the Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES)
as defined in the NSCB Resolution No. 9 Series of 2003; and
b) use of the 2006-Based Consumer Price Index (CPI) prices in the computation of the food or subsistence thresholds.
2. Poverty incidence is the proportion of poor population to total population.

Notes:
1. Poverty incidence is the proportion of poor population to total population.
2. The poverty incidence of municipalities are ranked in two ways: (1) among municipalities in a province
and (2) among municipalities in the region.
3. The methodology employed to generate poverty incidence was small-area estimation using the
data of the 2012 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), 2012 Labor Force Survey (LFS)
and 2007 Census of Population.

ECONOMIC ACCOUNTS
he economic accounts of the region, which are presented in terms of the Gross
T Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), provide a comprehensive and meaningful quantitative

picture of the regional economy. Specifically, the GRDP shows the levels and growth of the
region’s economic performance; the structure of the regional economy by industrial origin; and
the sectors that contribute and are of great potential to the region’s growth. The accounts
likewise serve as a yardstick for assessing the economic performance of the region during a
given period and over a span of time. With its
usefulness in charting the socioeconomic growth path of the region, the GRDP, a macroeconomic
indicator of economic performance, is necessary in planning, policy
formulation and analytical exercises.
This chapter presents the GRDP on an annual basis in terms of levels, growth and indices at
constant and current prices. The series is generated by the Philippine Statistics Authority from
primary and secondary data sources gathered from various data producers in the country.
Highlights
 Eastern Visayas posted the fastest economic growth in the country at
12.4 percent in 2016, driven by the expansion in Construction and Manufacturing
subsectors. This is higher than the 4.6 percent growth recorded in 2015 and the first ever
double-digit growth of the region.
 Industry expanded with a faster growth of 20.2 percent in 2016 as compared with the 4.9
percent in 2015. Construction, which had a 13.5 percent share to the region’s economy,
recorded the fastest growth at 44.5 percent. Manufacturing, which accounted for 18.4
percent, rebounded from a 3.0 percent contraction in 2015 to 19.6 percent growth in 2016.
 Services, likewise, posted an accelerated growth of 8.6 percent as compared with the 7.9
percent in the previous year. The major contributors to the Service Sector were Other
Services (OS), and Transportation, Storage and Communication (TSC) which grew by
11.0 percent and 9.2 percent, respectively.
 Agriculture, Hunting, Forestry and Fishing (AHFF) rebounded from a contraction of 3.5
percent in 2015 to 2.4 percent in 2016. Agriculture and Forestry, which shared 11.9
percent to the regional economy, grew by 1.9 percent while Fishing improved by 4.3
percent.
 Industry accounted for the largest share in the region’s economy at 44.3 percent, followed
by Service Sector at 40.6 percent and AHFF at 15.1 percent.

ENVIRONMENT & NATURAL RESOURCES
A growing awareness and national concern on the country’s natural resources and
e environmental condition have been demonstrated during the past years. These resulted from
the development vision long espoused by national and local leaders and the worldwide goal
of sustainable development. The said goal implies a balance
between resource utilization and development, protection and conservation of the country’s
environment and natural resources. In this fashion, development will benefit
not only today’s generation but the future ones as well.
All these concerns underscore the need for more reliable, timely and comprehensive data.
The data are critical to the government, private sector and even international community in the
formulation of policies and programs designed to bring about effective environmental
protection and resource utilization. They are important inputs in designing measures that would
safeguard the environment and natural resources and remedy destruction and degradation in
these areas.
This chapter presents data on land, forest, mineral, and watershed areas, climate of the
region and/or its provinces. The data sources include the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR), Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB), Environmental
Management Bureau (EMB), and Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical
Services Administration (PAGASA).
Highlights
 Metallurgic chromite ore production increased substantially by 133.0 percent, from

12,465 dry metric tons (d.m.t) in 2015 to 29,045 d.m.t in 2016. Consequently, total
value of metallurgic chromite ore produced rose by 129.5 percent, from 90.4 million
pesos in 2015 to 207.4 million pesos in 2016.
 Number of clearances issued to business owners/operators by EMB increased by

121.3 percent, from 512 in 2015 to 1,133 in 2016. Certificates of Non-Coverage issued
rose by 163.9 percent, while Environmental Compliance Certificates (ECC) issued went
up by 23.2 percent.
 A total of 7,593 patents were issued by DENR in 2016. More than three-fourth or
75.1 percent of the patents issued were regular patents, while the rest or 24.9 percent
were CARP patents.
 The highest total rainfall in the region in 2016 was recorded at 3,458 millimeters by
Visayas State University, Baybay City Station.

AGRICULTURE AND AGRARIAN
REFORM
A griculture plays a major role in the growth and stability of the economy. In Eastern
Visayas, about half of the population is dependent on agriculture for
livelihood. The sector is a major source of food. This situation then makes agricultural
development a top and an urgent priority of governance in the region. It likewise calls for a
truly meaningful agrarian reform that promotes social justice, sound rural
development and industrialization.
To this end, data on agriculture are of paramount importance. They provide objective basis
for directing legislation aimed at developing agriculture and fishery sectors and in the
implementation of agrarian reform. The data also provide indicators of impacts of programs and
projects in the lives of farmers. The status and trends portrayed by data help identify necessary
interventions. In this manner, the systems of monitoring and assessment of programs can be
better sharpened and refocused to give greater attention to problems and potential areas.
This chapter presents regional and provincial data on crops, livestock, poultry, fishery,
number and area of farms by type and size, number of agricultural operators, status of agrarian
reform, and number of registered and confirmed cooperatives. Data sources are the Philippine
Statistics Authority (PSA), Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and the Cooperative
Development Authority (CDA).
Highlights
 Palay production in the region declined by 0.1 percent from 955,709 metric tons in
2015 to 954,844 metric tons in 2016.
 The region registered an average palay yield of 3.56 metric tons per hectare. Among
provinces, Biliran recorded the highest average yield of palay at 4.6 metric tons per
hectare. On the other hand, Samar had the lowest yield of palay at 2.75 metric tons per
hectare.
 As of January 1, 2016, the total hog population in the region was 322,574 heads. This is
3.8 percent lower than the 335,446 heads inventory in 2015.
 As of January 1, 2016, the total chicken population in Eastern Visayas was 2,272,502
birds. This is 30.9 percent higher than last year’s total stock of 1,736,252 birds.
 Annual per capita consumption of pork in Eastern Visayas was estimated at 8.95
kilograms per person. Among provinces, Leyte recorded the highest per capita
consumption of 11.05 kilograms per person.
 Annual per capita consumption of chicken in the region was estimated at 6.90 kilograms
per person. Among provinces, Leyte registered the highest per capita consumption of
10.17 kilograms per person.

Chapter 6
INDUSTRY
D ata on the industries and investments in the region serve as gauge of the extent of its
attractiveness and capability to absorb entrepreneurial ventures. An
analysis of the data on the size and growth of industries and the stock and flow of
investments shows the enabling factors that provide or enhance the comparative
advantages enjoyed by industries and investors in the area. On the other hand, the data can
give indications on the limiting factors that hinder entry, growth and movement of
industries and investments. With the data providing signals, the concerned governmental
instrumentalities can formulate policies, enforce regulations and undertake infrastructure
programs and other forms of assistance to business and prospective investors. Armed with
the data, key decision makers in the government and the private sectors can also forge
alliances to improve the business climate and environment.
Ultimately, the policies and measures implemented as well
as the alliances can serve as instruments for achieving growth and providing
employment opportunities, among others, to the region’s labor force.
This chapter presents regional and provincial data where available, on the number of
establishments by industry, business names registered and employment generated, and
number, floor area and value of private building construction. Data were taken from the
Philippine Statistics Authority and the Department of Trade and Industry.

TRADE
D
a
ata on trade reflect the extent of the inward and outward flow of commodities in an area.
The data likewise indicate the kind of commodities that either go into the
export/import markets or are used for domestic or foreign consumption. Proprietors, managers
and executives of private businesses also use them in identifying high potential markets and in
deciding on which commodities to produce and what markets to penetrate. Leaders and
implementors in government, on the other hand, use the data to conceptualize and initiate
programs, projects, services, and facilities that stimulate trading activities in high yielding areas
and/or in those sectors where a demand and supply gap exists. The data are also useful in
identifying areas and products that need to be improved/promoted for better competitiveness.
This chapter presents data on the volume and value of exported and imported commodities
that enter ports located in the region and the value of commodity flow by mode of transport. The
Philippine Statistics Authority is the source of the data that are processed from administrative
reporting forms of agencies in government involved in the collection of customs and tariff
charges or administration of ports.
Highlights
 The region’s total value of exports decreased by 11.9 percent, from US$ 351.8 million in
2015 to US$ 310.0 million in 2016. Other Manufactures is the top export commodity of
the region in 2016, valued at US$ 192.3 million.
 Total value of imports increased by 37.8 percent from US$ 157.3 million in 2015 to
US$ 216.7 million in 2016. This was on account of the big increase in the total value of
metalliferous ores and metal scrap, the top import commodity of the region.
 Total value of commodity outflow from Region VIII increased significantly by 69.4
percent from P28.8 billion in 2013 to P48.7 billion in 2014. Caraga region was the major
export destination with 87.3 percent.
 Total value of commodity inflow to the region decreased substantially by 19.2 percent
from P54.1 billion in 2013 to P43.7 billion in 2014. Central Visayas and Caraga regions
were the major sources of imports with 36.3 percent and
37.7 percent, respectively.

TOURISM
ourism is an important source of foreign exchange receipts and of livelihood and
T employment opportunities for communities. Data on the industry provide a panorama

of the region as a tourist destination. They provide a quantitative measure of the results of
programs that promote the area as a traveler's destination and the industry's contributions to the
economic performance of the area. The data are essential in providing vital links in the
development and orchestration of campaigns aimed at promoting the region as a tourist
hideaway. Local leaders can put up infrastructure and institute policies and regulations that will
boost the inflow of visitors. Investors, on the other hand, can take signals to develop tourist and
recreational sites and put up establishments and amenities.
This chapter presents regional level data on the visitor arrivals and their countries of
residence/origin and average occupancy rates of the region’s accommodation facilities.
Provincial and city level data on visitor arrivals reported by accommodation establishments and
various tourist attractions in the region are also shown. The data source is the Department of
Tourism (DOT).
Highlights
 Total visitor arrivals to the region reached 1,186,465 in 2016, a 12.7 percent increase
from the 2015 figure of 1,052,715. Domestic tourists, which comprised the bulk or 95.7
percent of total visitor arrivals, increased by 12.6 percent.
 Foreign tourists, which comprised only 4.1 percent of the total visitor arrivals, also
increased by 15.3 percent.
 The highest number of foreign visitors came from the USA which was registered at 8,009.
Tourists coming from Australia followed at 2,469 and those from Japan at 2,149.
 Average occupancy rate of accommodation facilities in the region slightly decreased from
51.9 percent in 2015 to 51.3 percent in 2016.

VITAL, HEALTH & NUTRITION STATISTICS
T he health and nutrition status of the people is an utmost concern of local governance. The
ern focus of current development efforts is towards extending better
health services and expanding its delivery system even to the remotest rural communities. This is
anchored on the concept that no individual should be deprived of the right to health care.
Furthermore, the strengths and well being of the people influence their capabilities to engage in
various economic endeavors.
These concerns and objectives necessitate the provision of data on vital events, health and
nutrition as bases in the delivery of services catering to the health and nutritional requirements of
individuals. The data are key inputs to programs aimed at providing the basic minimum services
to the citizenry. They provide a profile of the health status and level, causes and patterns of the
mortality and morbidity of the population. A cross analysis of the data with the demographic and
socioeconomic information of a target population can show existing and potential problems in an
area.
This chapter provides data on total fertility rate and mortality rates, projected life
expectancies, number of health personnel and facilities, coverage of immunization programs,
nutritional status of children, and the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. The sources of
data are the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), Department of Health (DOH) and National
Nutrition Council (NNC).
Highlights
 Pneumonia was the top leading cause of deaths in the region with 2,595 cases
recorded in 2016. This translates to about 59 deaths per 100,000 population.
Pneumonia was also the number one leading cause of deaths among infants with a
total of 165 cases, or a rate of about two deaths per 100,000 live births.
 Acute Respiratory Infection was the major leading cause of morbidity with 195,410
incidences recorded in 2016. This translates to 4,411 cases per 100,000 population.
 The proportion of underweight pre-school children weighed in 2016 has slightly

improved at -0.7 percent from -15.0 percent in 2015. Meanwhile, the proportion of
severely underweight pre-school children weighed has increased to 0.6 percent from -
13.1 percent in 2015.
 The number of government doctors, nurses, dentist and other medical pratictioners in
the region went down by 13.9 percent, from 3,742 in 2015 to 3,220 in 2016. Almost
half or 49.7 percent are stationed in Field Health Services.

EDUCATION
T he far reaching and enduring effects of education on individual and societal growth call
for serious efforts to continuously improve and promote our
educational facilities and services to the people. More so, the responsiveness of our
educational system to changes in the socioeconomic spheres and the demands of development
initiatives pose a challenge to our decision makers and educators. It is, therefore, imperative
for the government to earnestly make its educational programs meaningful and efficient.
To address these challenges, an adequate and timely supply of data focusing on the levels
and state of resources and facilities and the accomplishments of our educational system is
vital. The data are essential in the planning, implementation and supervision of programs in
this field.
This chapter presents data at the regional down to the division level. The statistics
include enrolment, schools, teachers and graduates by level and government or private. The
chapter contains indicators such as teacher-student ratio and performance indicators like
enrolment, retention, survival, completion, dropout, transition, and graduation rates. Also
shown are data on literacy rates, post- secondary enrolment and graduates and number of
persons assessed and certified for skills competency by TESDA. The data are obtained from
the Department of Education (DepEd), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and the Philippine
Statistics Authority (PSA).

LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT
T he labor force is the backbone of the economy. The sector plays a crucial role in the
development of the nation and in the upliftment of the economic well-being of the people.
Data on the sector are critical inputs in the formulation of policies aimed at
providing adequate employment opportunities and productive activities to the labor force of the
country. They are also necessary in enhancing policies and programs of government towards
promoting harmonious labor relations and improving environment in the workplace. The
generation of adequate, timely and reliable data is an imperative need
of the formulators and implementors of our laws, policies and decisions.
This chapter presents data on the number and employment status of the labor force at the
regional and provincial level when available. The data include the number of employed persons,
the industry and occupation they are engaged in, and class they are classified into. Also, data on
number of overseas workers were classified according to sex, major occupation group and
highest educational attainment. The labor productivity and establishments resorting to permanent
closure/retrenchment, and information on the existing unions/labor organizations, collective
bargaining agreements, basic pay and daily minimum wage rates are also provided in this
chapter.
Data are obtained from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the Department of Labor
and Employment (DOLE) and the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB).

SOCIAL SERVICES
P eople empowerment, care, protection and rehabilitation of the disadvantaged and special
sectors of society are the primary goals of our social welfare policies and programs. The
objective is to place the disadvantaged sectors of society in the
mainstream of productive and economic processes. This entails converting the disadvantaged
groups into active agents and partners in development. In this manner, growth and progress
pervade all sectors of society and the disadvantaged sectors become beneficiaries of
development.
In contributing to the attainment of these goals, the generation of data and relevant indicators
is therefore of utmost necessity. Data on social welfare serve as indicators of results and impacts
of goals, policies and programs on human development. They help direct the thrusts and focus
the programs and other interventions implemented by government, private and non-governmental
institutions to a wider and a more rationalized target beneficiaries.
This chapter presents data on the number of persons with disabilities, and number of clients
served by the various outreach and service programs of the Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD), as well as the personnel and facilities utilized in carrying out these
programs. Data were taken from the Philippine Statistics Authority and DSWD.
Highlights
 Clients served through various centers/facilities/institutions of DSWD decreased by 14.0
percent, from 21,772 in 2015 to 18,714 in 2016. Almost all or 98.9 percent of the center-
based clients served in 2016 were in Crisis Intervention Unit (CIU).
 The number of Women in Especially Difficult Circumstances (WEDC) served through

community-based social welfare programs/projects decreased slightly by
2.8 percent, from 887 in 2015 to 862 in 2016. More than half or 65.4 percent of the
cases were Women In Crisis.

in 2015 to 26 in 2016. Most or 92.3 percent of the trafficked victims in 2016 were

TRANSPORTATION
AND COMMUNICATION
T he different modes of transportation and channels for communication are vital in the
economic, social and cultural lives of peoples and institutions. A well-
developed transportation system ensures fast and efficient transfer of goods and services
between traders, households and institutions within and outside geographical limits of a
community. Advances in communication system accelerates the flow of information, enables
faster access to and dissemination of news, events and developments in the domestic and
international scene. It helps stimulate business growth.
The provision of data on the transportation and communication systems is therefore
indispensable in charting the course towards socioeconomic development and cultural
upliftment. Data on the extent and coverage of the transportation and communication
networks provide planners and decision makers in government and in entrepreneurial
ventures with a sound basis to improve their infrastructures. Planners use them in formulating
strategies that would link the locality with its neighbors.
This chapter presents transportation and communication data at the regional and
provincial levels. On transportation, data include registered motor vehicles, road length,
number and length of bridges, number of sea and air ports, movement of aircraft, and volume
of sea and air passengers and cargo handled. On communication, data include number of
telecommunication facilities, telephone density and volume of mails handled. Data sources
are Land Transportation Office (LTO), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH),
Provincial and City Engineers Offices, Air Transportation Office (ATO), Philippines Ports
Authority (PPA), National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), Telecommunications
Office and the Philippine Postal Corporation (PPC).

Chapter 14
ENERGY AND WATER RESOURCES
he importance of energy and water resources in countryside development is recognized in

T many ways. They are essential in stimulating the growth of businesses and other institutions
operating in the locality. Industries and agriculture, the major contributors to the region’s
economy, are highly dependent on these resources. They are
also vital in the day-to-day lives of individuals residing in the community.
Considering the multifarious uses of these resources, the data on the level, extent, sources and
utilization of energy and water provide signals on the potentials of the area to achieve growth and
development. They are vital inputs to national and local programs of government. The business
sector also uses them in the conduct of feasibility studies and investment planning. They also
serve as indicators of the standard of living of families comprising the community.
This chapter presents regional and provincial data on power, water and irrigation.
Specifically, the data on power include the number of municipalities/barangays energized, power
distribution, service connections and power rates by electric cooperatives. The data on water
includes production, service connections, water rates and irrigation systems. The data sources are
the National Electrification Administration, Local Water Utilities Administration and the
National Irrigation Administration.
Highlights
 Power distributed in Eastern Visayas increased by 16.3 percent, from 807,765 megawatt-
hour (MWh) in 2015 to 939,796 MWh in 2016. Residential consumers comprised more
than half or 58.0 percent of the total number of consumers in the region.
 Electricity service connections in the region increased by 6.0 percent, from 749,693 in
2015 to 794,386 in 2016. LEYECO IV and BILECO posted the highest increases of 8.6
percent and 8.3 percent, respectively.
 Average system rate in Eastern Visayas declined by 2.6 percent, from P9.00 per kilowatt-
hour (KWh) in 2015 to P8.77 per KWh in 2016. SAMELCO I recorded the highest
average system rate among electric cooperatives at P10.19 per KWh.
 Calbayog Water District in Samar charged the highest minimum water rate (first 10 cubic
meters) of P287.00. Meanwhile, Naval Water District in Biliran billed the lowest at
P64.60.
 A total of 471 Communal Irrigation Systems (CIS) assisted by NIA were constructed in
2016 with a decrease of two CIS from the count reported in 2015. The 38.188 hectare
CIS-covered service area in the region benefited 336 Irrigator’s Associations and 26,967
farmers.

Chapter 15
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
D ata on the levels, patterns and distribution of the income and expenditures of
L local government units (LGUs) are essential in measuring their capabilities to provide public
service to their constituents. Specifically, the level of income serves as a criterion in the
classification of the LGUs. The classification, on the other hand, provides legislators a yardstick
in the allocation of resources and other forms of assistance. Furthermore, the data provide a
sound and logical basis in the choice of alternative options aimed at balancing the sources and
disposition of resources. The data are also useful in identifying priority program areas and
localities in the community.
This chapter presents data on Internal Revenue Collections (IRA), revenue collections,
annual income and expenditures of LGUs, and classification of provinces, cities and
municipalities by income class. The sources of data are the Department of Budget and
Management, Bureau of Internal Revenue, and the Bureau of Local Government Finance.

activities of proprietors and corporate institutions in an area. The growth in the
number of banking and other financial institutions in a certain locality gives insights on the pace
at which the business and trade grows. Also, the presence and accessibility of establishments
providing financial services to existing and prospective investors contribute to the
realization of programs and projects aimed at industrial and
entrepreneurial advancement.
In this light, generation of data pertaining to the operations of financial institutions in an area
is needed to better understand the prevailing economic condition and undertake appropriate steps
aimed at achieving desired economic goals. Data on loans granted by banks provide a picture of
the level and nature of investments put up over time. Statistics on loans outstanding of financial
institutions serve as signals of the rate of turnover of investments. These and similar information
help strengthen confidence of strategists to sustain their businesses and pursue other ventures.

loan portfolio and combined resources of banking offices. The source of data is the Bangko

Chapter 17
PUBLIC ORDER, SAFETY & JUSTICE
O ne of the basic goals of the government is to establish a peaceful, stable and just
on- environment conducive to national growth and development. A society where
peace, order and law prevail is not only a goal or a vision. It is one of the pillars of man’s basic
rights. Development that is not coupled with order, safety and justice contribute to the
degradation of society. The effects of public order, safety and justice in national well-being and
in every fiber of the social and economic lives of individuals are priority concerns of governance.
In this light, an information system that generates timely and reliable data becomes a
necessary tool in the administration of justice and enforcement of laws as well as to aid
legislation. Data on public order, safety and justice reflect the effectivity, efficiency and fairness
in the administration and enforcement of laws.
This chapter presents regional/provincial/city data on crimes and number of policemen and
firemen, fire incidences, including deaths and property damages, law enforcement cases handled,
and legal assistance extended. The sources of data are Philippine National Police (PNP) for
crimes and law enforcers; Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) for fire incidences; and Public
Attorney’s Office (PAO) for cases handled and legal assistance services.
Highlights
 Total crime rate in the region decreased by 45.1 percent, from 468 crimes per 100,000
population in 2015 to 257 crimes per 100,000 population in 2016.
 Among the six provinces in Eastern Visayas, Biliran recorded the highest total crime rate
in 2016 at 255 crimes per 100,000 population. On the other hand, Southern Leyte
registered the lowest at 156 crimes per 100,000 population.
 Among the cities in the region, Tacloban City posted the highest total crime rate in 2016
at 1,175 crimes per 100,000 population. Meanwhile, Borongan City recorded the lowest
at 170 crimes per 100,000 population.
 Of the 11,782 index and non-index crimes in the region, 6,377 were solved which
translated to a solution rate of 54.1 percent. This is 8.8 percentage points higher than the
45.3 percent solution rate recorded in 2015. Among the provinces, Southern Leyte
registered the highest crime solution rate at 59.9 percent. Among the cities, Tacloban City
posted the highest crime solution rate at 76.2 percent.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
cience and Technology (S&T) showcases the Filipino as a creator and
S innovator. Science unfolds latest ideas, translates them into theories, and develops them into
practical uses and applications called technology. Science is essential to technology
and technology is the key to the culmination of science, which is uplifting the lives of people.
As an economic sector, S&T ensures the creation, development, and production of new,
diversified, competitive, and high-value added inventions that become commodities of
importance in the country’s economic life. The government envisions a proactive role of S&T
in the country’s development efforts and in uplifting the lives of Filipinos. It seeks S&Ts
contribution in strengthening and maximizing the use of the
country’s technological capabilities to enable development.
Statistics regarding technologies are valuable in monitoring and determining our capacities
and abilities of adopting them. Data on the number of people supported by the government to
pursue degrees in science and technology show this institution’s efforts in encouraging people to
engage in these fields. Further, the figures on the government’s technology dissemination
activities show its response to the country’s development strategy of using S&T.
The sources of data on this sector are the Visayas Consortium for Agriculture and Resources
Program (ViCARP), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Technical Education and
Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and National Computer Center (NCC).
Highlights
 The number of DOST undergraduate scholars increased by 60.2 percent from 399
scholars in AY 2014-2015 to 639 in AY 2015-2016. Among provinces, Leyte accounted
for the biggest number of scholars at 294.
 Total expenditures of DOST VIII increased by 7.5 percent, from 96.5 million pesos in
2015 to 103.7 million pesos in 2016. More than half or 56.4 percent of the total
expenditures in 2016 were spent for Technology Transfer.
 The number of TESDA graduates in IT-related diploma, short term and specialized
courses dropped by 13.1 percent, from 7,897 graduates in 2015 to 6,859 in 2016.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
POPULATION AND HOUSING
Age Dependency Ratio1 - is the ratio of persons in the “dependent” ages (generally under age 15
and over age 64) to those in the “economically productive” ages (15-64 years) in the population. It is
sometimes divided into the old-age dependency (the ratio of people aged 65 and older to those aged
15-64 years) and the child dependency (ratio of people under 15 to those aged 15-64 years)
Child Development Index - is a composite index, which measures the average achievement in the
three basic dimensions captured in the human development index (HDI), (i.e., a long and healthy life,
knowledge, and a decent standard of living), but specific to children.
Emigrants – refer to Filipino migrants and legal permanent residents abroad; include Filipinos who
are Filipino citizens, who are Philippine passport holders, or who have been naturalized citizens in
the host country; also include Filipino or Filipina spouses who have married foreign partners and
have settled overseas. (Institute for Migration and Development Issues)
Gender Development Index2 (GDI) – a composite index measuring average achievement in three
basic dimensions captured in the human development index (i.e., a long and healthy life, knowledge,
and a decent standard of living) , adjusted to account for inequalities between women and men. It is
measured by taking the average of the same components as HDI but adjusted for gender disparities.
Gender Disparity Index2 (GeDI) – a measure to illustrate whether overall human development is
being shared equitably by women and men. Gender disparity = 0 means women and men have
equality in human development. Gender disparity > 0 means there is disparity in the development
of women and men.
Gender Education Index2 (GEI) – an index which measures gender disparity in the quality of life in
terms of access to education. It is measured through the functional literacy rate and combined net
enrolment rate as indicators.
Gender Equality Ratio2 (GER) – a measure indicating whether women and men have more
advantage in terms of development. A ratio greater than 1 indicates higher development of women
over men.
Gender Health Index2 (GHI) – an index which measures gender disparity in the quality of life in
terms of longevity and health life.
Gender Income Index2 (GII) – an index which measures gender disparity in the quality of life in
terms of income.
Household1 - a social unit consisting of a person living alone or a group of persons who sleep in the
same housing unit and have a common arrangement in the preparation and consumption of food.
Housing Unit - a structurally separate and independent place of abode which, by the way it has
been constructed, converted or arranged is intended for habitation by one household. Structures or
parts of structures which are not intended for habitation such as commercial, industrial, and cultural
buildings or natural and man-made shelters such as caves, boats, abandoned trucks, culverts, and
others, but which are used as living quarters by households.
Human Development Index1 - a measure of how well a country has performed, not only in terms of
real income growth, but also in terms of social indicators of people’s ability to lead a long and healthy
life, to acquire knowledge and skills, and to have access to the resources needed to afford a decent
standard of living.
Appendix - 2
Life Expectancy1 – represents the average number of years remaining to a person who survives to the
beginning of a given age or age interval x.
Medium Assumption - moderate fertility decline and moderate mortality decline
Migration1 - the movement of people across a specific boundary for the purpose of establishing a new
or semi-permanent residence. Two distinct types are international migration (migration between
countries) and internal migration (migration within a country).
Population1 - total number of individuals in a territory at a specified time. It covers both nationals
and aliens, native and foreign-born persons, internees, refugees and any other group physically
present within the borders of a country at a specified time. In assembling national demographic
statistics for publication, the basic aim has been to obtain data for the physically present (or “de
facto”) population rather than for the legally established resident (or “de jure”) inhabitants.
Population Density1 - refers to the number of persons per unit of land area (usually in square
kilometers). This measure is more meaningful if given as population per unit of arable land.
Population Growth Rate1 – indicates how fast a population increases or decreases as a result of the
interplay of births, deaths, and migration during a given period of time. Where the population is
closed, meaning no migration, the population growth rate is the same as the rate of natural increase,
i.e., the difference between the number of births and the number of deaths during a specified period
of time. The three methods for computing the rate of growth based on the assumption with respect
to the change are: arithmetic change, geometric change and exponential change.
Population Projections1 - computation of future changes in population numbers, given certain

assumptions about future trends in the rates of fertility, mortality and migration. Demographers
often publish high, medium, and low projections of the same population based on different
assumptions of how these rates will change in the future.
Sex Ratio1 - the number of males per 100 females in a population.
INCOME AND PRICES
Basic Sectors (as defined in RA 8425 or The Social Reform and Poverty Alleviation Act) refer to the
disadvantaged sectors of Philippine society, namely: farmer-peasant, artisanal fisherfolk, workers in
the formal sector and migrant workers, workers in the informal sector, indigenous peoples and
cultural communities, women, differently-abled persons, senior citizens, victims of calamities and
disasters, youth and students, children, and urban poor.
Consumer Price Index (CPI)1 – indicator of the change in the average prices of a fixed basket of goods
and services commonly purchased by households relative to a base year.
Family – is a group of persons usually living together and composed of the head and other persons
related to the head by blood, marriage and adoption. A single person living alone is considered a
separate family.
Family Expenditures – refers to the expenses or disbursements made by the family purely for
personal consumption during the reference period. They exclude all expenses in relation to farm or
business operations, investment ventures, purchase of real property and other disbursements which
do not involve personal consumption. Gifts, support assistance or relief in goods and services
received by the family from friends, relatives, etc. and consumed during the reference period are
included in the family expenditures. Value consumed from net share of crops, fruits and vegetables
produced or livestock raised by other households, family sustenance and entrepreneurial activities
are also considered as family expenditures.
Appendix - 3
Family Income – includes primary income and receipts from other sources received by all family
members during the calendar year as participants in any economic activity or as recipients of
transfers, pensions, grants, etc.
Primary income includes:

 Salaries and wages from employment
 Commissions, tips, bonuses, family and clothing allowance, transportation and
representation allowance and honoraria
 Other forms of compensation and net receipts derived from the operation of family-operated
enterprises/activities and the practice of profession or trade
Income from other sources include:

 Imputed rental values of owner-occupied dwelling units
 Interests
 Rentals including land owner’s share of agricultural products
 Pensions
 Support and value of food and non-food items received as gifts by the family (as well as the
imputed value of services rendered free of charge to the family)
 Receipts from family sustenance activities, which are not considered as family operated
enterprise
Food Threshold3 – the minimum income/expenditure required for a family/individual to meet the
basic food needs, which satisfies the nutritional requirements for economically necessary and
socially desirable physical activities.
Gini Ratio3 - the ratio of the area between the Lorenz curve and the diagonal (the line of perfect
equality) to the area below the diagonal.
Notes: It is a measure of the extent to which the distribution of income/expenditure among

families/individuals deviates from a perfectly equal distribution, with limits 0 for perfect
equality and 1 for perfect inequality.
Income Gap – is the average income shortfall (expressed in proportion to the poverty line) of those
below the threshold.
Inflation Rate - the annual rate of change or the year-on-year change in the Consumer Price Index.
Magnitude of the Poor - the number of families or the population whose annual per capita income
falls below the poverty threshold.
Migrant workers – individuals who are either overseas contract workers (OCW) or overseas Filipino
workers (OFW).
Poverty Gap3 – 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.
Poverty Incidence3 - 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 Threshold3 – 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
Appendix - 4
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.
Purchasing Power of the Peso1 - a measure of the real value of the peso in a given period relative to a
chosen reference period. It is computed by getting the reciprocal of the CPI and multiplying the
result by 100.
Severity of Poverty3 – 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.
Subsistence Incidence3 - the proportion of families/individuals with per capita income/expenditure

less than the per capita food threshold to the total number of families/individuals.
Workers in the formal sector - refers to employed persons working for private establishments and
government organizations and corporations
Urban poor - refers to individual residing in an urban area whose income falls below the official
poverty threshold
ECONOMIC ACCOUNTS
Constant Prices (at constant prices) – valuation of transactions, wherein the influence of price
changes from the base year to the current year has been removed.
Current Prices (at current prices) – the value based on prices during the reference year; nominal
value.
Gross Domestic Product – the value of all goods and services produced domestically; the sum of
gross value added of all resident institutional units engaged in production (plus any taxes, and minus
any subsidies, on products not included in the values of their outputs).
Gross Regional Domestic Product - aggregate of the gross value added or income from each industry
or economic activity of the regional economy.
Gross Value Added – the difference between gross output and intermediate inputs. Gross outputs of
a production unit during a given period is equal to the gross value of the goods and services
produced during the period and recorded at the moment they are produced, regardless of whether or
not there is a change of ownership. Intermediate inputs refer to the value of goods and services used
in the production process during the accounting period.
Implicit Price Index – represents an overall view of the price movement in the economy and is as
such the most comprehensive price index. It is derived by dividing the GNP/GRDP/GDP series in
current prices by the corresponding series in constant prices.
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
Alienable and Disposable Land – refers to those lands of the public domain which have been the
subject of the present system of classification and declared as not needed for forest purposes.
Appendix - 5
Forest1 – refers to land with an area of more than 0.5 hectare and tree crown cover (or equivalent
stocking level) of more than 10 percent. The trees should be able to reach a minimum height of 5
