1. Introduction

The Philippines is an archipelago of 7,107 islands spread over a total land area of 299,764 square kilometers. Efficient transportation system that will interconnect all the islands in the country is vital in supporting the development programs of the country. As such, information or statistical data relating to the country’s transport sector serves as essential input in the design of appropriate programs and projects. In the Philippines, there is a government-wide system of providing statistical information to the public, the Philippine Statistical System (PSS). This is a decentralized system composed of a policy-making body, data producers, users, research and training institutions, and data providers. The present system is defined by Executive Order No. 121 of the Philippines. The framework of coordination is shown in Figure 1. 0

Figure 1. Framework of Coordination in the Philippine Statistical System The policy making and coordinating body is the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB). The NSCB formulates policies, delineates responsibilities, sets priorities and standards on statistics and administers the one-stop statistical information center. It also maintains multi-sectoral frameworks/indicator system. It also provides links for coordination between and among the key players. It also serves as the statistical clearing-house and liaison for international matters. Based on the PSS, the data producers or the agencies that produce statistics as their primary function are the National Statistics Office (NSO), Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS) and Bureau of Labor and Employment Statistics (BLES). In addition to these statistical agencies, various other government departments/agencies generate statistics as by-products of their primary functions. These agencies disseminate directly to data users and provide NSCB a copy of their data. With regards to transport sector, the NSCB compiles data from several government agencies. The statistics on land surface and rail transport are provided by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Philippine National Railways (PNR), Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) – Road and Rail Division and the Land Transportation Office (LTO).

Authority (MARINA) provide the maritime transport data. Air transport data are sourced from the Air Transportation Office (ATO). Aside from those agencies mentioned above, there are other government agencies, which generate transport statistics. The Philippine National Police produces data on road traffic accidents. The Philippine Coast Guard, which is under the Philippine Navy generates maritime incidents data. The Department of Interior and Local Government, which collects road inventory data from Local Government Units (LGUs). This paper elucidates the situation of transportation statistics data collection in the country. An attempt has been made to identify the transportation statistics currently generated by different government agencies in the country and to identify the transportation data gaps.

2. Land Surface Transport

For the case of land surface transport, the agencies that actually produce statistics are the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Philippine National Police (PNP). These agencies disseminate directly to data users and provide the National Statistics and Coordination Board (NSCB) a copy of their report. When there are new data requirements, the NSCB requests data from these agencies thru proper channels.

a. Road Length based on Administrative Road Classification Road length in the Philippines is usually reported based on the five (5) administrative road classification, namely: National Road, Provincial Road, City Roads, Municipal Roads and Barangay Roads. National Roads: These are roads continuous in extent that form part of the main trunk line system. The road administrator for this type of road is the National Government, specifically the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). Provincial Roads: Roads connecting one municipality with another. The provincial government covers the maintenance of these roads. City Roads: Roads/streets within the urban area of the city to be designated by the City council. The city government is responsible for the operation and maintenance of these roads/streets. Municipal Roads: Roads or streets within the poblacion area of a certain municipality to be designated by the Municipal Council. Barangay Roads: Rural roads located either outside the urban area of city or outside industrial, commercial or residential subdivisions which act as feeder farm-to-market roads, and which are not classified as national, provincial, city or municipal roads. This type of road is to be designated by the Barangay Council concerned. Table 1 and Figure 2 shows the historical development of the Philippine Road Network. Total road length has increased gradually from 1985 to 1997 and a remarkable increase of 21.9% was noted in 1997-1998. The increase was mainly due to the expansion of barangay roads. The decrease of the total length of road network from 1985 to 1988 was due to the correction of national and barangay road sections nationwide with overlapping section and double listed road section and the non-inclusion of the physical length in the lineal meters of bridge. It is also important to note that Table 1 data for the national road includes the north and south Luzon expressways. The data for the national road is readily available because there is a database under the Roads and Bridges Information Application System (RBIA) of the DPWH. The national road data is updated quarterly by DPWH regional offices. The data, on the other hand, for other road classification are collected by the DILG. As of 2007, from the four (4) road classification being collected by DILG, only the Provincial Road is up-to-date. The road length of city, municipal and barangay roads are still for verification.

Based on the 2006 data, about 14.5% is under the jurisdiction of the National Government through the DPWH. The remaining 85.5% fall under the jurisdiction of the Local Government Units (LGUs).

b. Road Length by Surface Type The statistics on road length by surface type is also collected and reported by DPWH and DILG. The data for national road is collected by DPWH while the data for provincial, city, municipal and barangay roads are gathered by DILG. Table 2 below shows the existing road length by surface type for the whole country. Of the total of 200,869 kms of roads in the Philippines, 21 % is paved and 79% is still unpaved. The percentage of paved roads has increased by only 8% from 1982 to 2001. This may be attributed to the inadequate financial and technical resources of the LGUs considering that about 85% of the total roads fall under their responsibility.

For 2003-2004, there was no update on road length by surface type because during this time the DPWH is doing the roads and bridges database for the country. Comparing Table 1 and 2, it will be observed that there are some discrepancies on values. This happens when data is gathered at different times of the year. The road length data may vary when the data gathered is in May and December. There may be road improvement projects finished between May and December. As such, the road length especially on national road may differ. Regional offices of DPWH do the inventory of roads for national roads every quarter.

Table 2 and Figure 3 shows the surface type and paved ratio of national roads per region for 2007. The cut-off data for this set of data is October 31, 2007. There are some areas with no inventory. This means that there are some road sections, which are either under construction and/or within Urban Metropolitan Area. By surface type, the National Capital Region (NCR) was noted to have the highest paved ratio with the total length of its road composed by 68.57% concrete and 30.36% asphalt. Regions with very high gravel roads includes Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) – (65.38%), Region IV-B (54.69%) and Region XIII (52.25%). On the other hand, Regions I, III, IV-A and VII were noted to be with higher percentage of paved roads. Road length data by surface type for other road classification per region is not yet available for 2007

c. Existing Bridges Along National Roads The DPWH also maintains and collects data on the length and status of bridges located along national roads. Table 3 shows the existing bridges along national roads. The bridges are classified according to the type of structure: permanent or temporary. From 2003 – 2006, only the total length of the existing bridges and the number of bridges are available.

d. Motor Vehicle Registration Motor vehicle registration is under the jurisdiction of the Land Transportation Office (LTO). The LTO’s mission is to rationalize the land transportation service and facilities and to implement effectively the various transportation laws, rules and regulations. Basically, their mandate and main functions are: inspection and registration of motor vehicles, issuance of licenses and permits, enforcement of Land Transportation Rules and Regulations, adjudication of traffic cases and collection of revenues for the Government. Registered motor vehicles are classified into seven groups, namely: cars, Utility vehicles (UV), sports utility vehicle (SUV), trucks, buses, motorcycles/tricycles and trailers. Based


11

on the data obtained from the Land Transportation Office (LTO), all types of vehicles have more or less steadily increased in the past 17 years as shown in Table 4 and

Figure . The average growth per year is 3.12% for cars, 5.88% for UV, 21.26% for SUV, 4.72% trucks, 3.35% for buses, 12.13% for MC/TC and 1.92% for trailers.

In the year 2007, total registered vehicles is 5,530,052 consisting of 751,092 cars or 14.09%, 1,602,619 or 30.06% UV, 192,991 or 3.62% SUV, 281,261 or 5.28% trucks, 30,159 or 0.57% buses, 2,647,574 or 49.66 MC/TC,24,356 or 0.46% Trailers.

e. Licenses

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) handles the issuance of licenses in the Philippines. There are three types of driver's license in the Philippines, namely: Student Permit, Non-Professional driver's license, and Professional Driver's license. The minimum age for driving in the Philippines is 16 years old provided that they must have a student permit and must be accompanied by a person with a professional driver's license. The minimum age to get a Non-Professional license is 17 years old. And to secure a Professional driving license, the age requirement is at least 18 years old. Table 6 shows the license issuance in the country per region for 2007. This includes the three types of driver’s license being issued in the Philippines and the conductors permit. Based on the table, the regions with very high percentage of license issuance are the National Capital Region (28.25%), Region III (13.02%) and Region IV-A (12.74%).

f. Road Accidents The traffic accidents in the Philippines are collected by the Philippine National Police – Traffic Management Group (PNP-TMG) and DPWH. However, the classification of road accidents differs between the two (2) agencies. The PNP-TMG data is classified into 12: driver’s error, drunk driving, mechanical defect, over speeding, use of cellphone while driving, road defect, hit and run, bad overtaking, bad turning, overloading, self accident and others. The DPWH data on the other hand is classified into three (3): human error, vehicular defect and road defect. DPWH also classify the accidents based on the severity of accidents, namely: fatal, serious injury, Minor injury and property damage. Table 8 shows the traffic accidents in the Philippines from 2004 – 2007. This indicates the data coming from the PNP-TMG and DPWH. The data from DPWH is readily available since they are already developing the accidents database for the country. Table 9 and Figure 5 illustrate the traffic accidents per region for 2007. Region XI exhibited the highest frequency of accidents with a share of 32.54%. It is also important to note that NCR has the highest number of motor vehicle registration but it has fairly low number traffic accidents.

Maritime Transport

3. Maritime Transport Several departments of the Philippine government have a participation in running the maritime transportation industry, with its own functions and powers. The main government authority with respect to policy formulation and infrastructure investment is the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA). Other government agencies involved in safety and security, industry promotion, and system operation are: Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) , Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and Office of Transport Security (OTS). There are also devolved localized bodies, which includes Cebu Port Authority (CPA), Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), Cagayan Export Zone Authority and Phividec Industrial Authority (PIA). a. Ports

The development of ports in the Philippines was carried out before through different port administrative system. Today, the structure of the Philippine Port System can be divided into four categories: (1) the PPA port system consisting of public and private ports; (2) ports under the jurisdiction of independent port authorities; (3) public ports devolved to the local government units (LGUs); and (4) the recently-established Road RO-RO Terminal System (RRTS).

Ports in the Philippines can be classified by port authorities, that is, ports managed by PPS, CPS, ARMM,-RPMA, LGUs/DOTC, PPMBs and the private sector. There is no accurate statistical number of ports in the Philippines since there are various types of ports ranging from big international ports to extremely small, which is catering to local fishing and passenger movements. Based on table 11, there are around 2,451 ports in the country. There are 423 private ports, mostly ports belonging to private enterprises for their own exclusive use. There are 421 fishing ports, most of which are under the administration of the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority. The Philippine Port Authority (PPA) operates 239 public ports, which consists of 25 base ports and 214 secondary ports or terminal ports. In addition, around 1,369 ports, which are handled by the LGUs.

c. Maritime Incidents The regulation and enforcement of maritime laws on safety has gone through several phases through the years. Before, regulation and enforcement of maritime laws is the sole responsibility of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) under the wings of the Philippine Navy. Today, it is looked after by three (3) Departments of the Philippine Government: the DILG through the Philippine National Police – Maritime Group (PNP-MG); the Department of Transportation and Communications through the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) and Cebu Ports Authority (CPA); and the Department of National Defense through the Philippine Navy.

Despite the increased involvement of other government agencies, the PCG remains to be the center for coordination and management being the most equipped and trained in this specialized line of work. PCG also collects and reports the maritime incidents in the country. Table 13 shows the maritime incidents for all vessel type based on the records of PCG. However, the available data yet is up to 2006. They are still consolidating the data coming from different units around the country.

4. Air Transport The main government agency in charge of policy-making body and infrastructure investment is the DOTC. Other government agencies involved in safety and security, industry promotion and system operation are: Air Transportation Office (ATO) and Office of the Transport Security (OTS). Devolved localized bodies includes: Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) Mactan-Cebu International airport authority (MCIAA) and Clark International Airport Authority (CIAC) and Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA). Economic regulation is handled by Civil aeronautics Board (CAB). a. Airports The Philippines has a total of 85 national airports, which are classified as international, trunkline, secondary and feeder airports. There are eight (8) international airports designated as major gateways to the country. There are also twelve (12) trunkline airports served by jet aircraft. The rest of the domestic airports are classified either as secondary or feeder airports serviced by mainly turbo-propeller type aircraft. Table 14 shows the number of registered airports in the Philippines. This is classified into national and private ports. The data is from the Air Transportation Office (ATO).

b. Domestic Air Transport Services

There are three (3) domestic air carriers, which dominate air transport services in the country, namely: Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific Airways and Air Philippines. The Philippine Airlines (PAL) was the only airline carrier allowed to operate in the Philippine Airports until 1986, when the air transport policy on airline liberalization was adopted leading to the demonopolization of PAL.

Rail Transport

5. Rail Transport The main government agency in-charge of the policy-making and infrastructure investment is the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and Metro Manila Development authority (MMDA) for the National Capital Region (NCR). The other government agencies, which is responsible fore safety and security, industry protection and system operation are: Light Rail Transit authority (LRTA), DOTC, Philippine National Railways (PNR). a. Railway System The Metro Manila urban rail system is comprised of three LRT/MRT lines, notably Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1, LRT Line 2 and the Mass Rail Transit Line 3 (commonly referred to as EDSA Line). The Light Rail Transit System Line No. 1 consists of 15 km elevated railway system servicing the Taft Avenue – Rizal Avenue route between Baclaran, Pasay City and the Bonifacio Monument in the City of Caloocan. It is considered to be the first LRT system in Southeast Asia.

The Megatren, more popularly known by its generic name LRT Line 2, is a 13.8 km mass transit line that traverses five cities in Metro Manila namely Pasig, Marikina, Quezon City, San Juan and Manila) along the major thoroughfares of Marcos Highway, Aurora Boulevard, Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard, Legarda and Recto Avenue. The EDSA MRT Line runs on double-track and partly elevated carriageway along EDSA from North Avenue in Quezon City to Taft Avenue in Pasay City. The 17.8 km EDSA route consists of 13 stations: North Triangle, Quezon Avenue, Kamuning, Cubao, Santolan, Ortigas, Shaw, Bonifacio Avenue, Guadalupe, Buendia, Ayala, Magallanes and Taft Avenue. Figure 7 shows the existing railway system and its extension. PNR System Over the years, the Philippine National Railways (PNR) has constructed the following railway lines linking Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon. • Main Line North (Manila to San Fernando City, La Union Province) – 266 kms • Main Line South (Manila to Legaspi City, Albay Province) – 480 kms • San Jose Branch Line (Tarlac to San Jose, Nueva Ecija) • Cabanatuan Branch Line (Calamba to Batangas) • Santa Cruz Branch Line (College to Sta. Cruz, Laguna) The current Operational lines are the Main Line South for Long distance line (Tayuman Station in Manila to Legaspi Station in Albay with length of 479.0 km) and the Commuter Lines (Caloocan to Calamba with length of 61.96 km and the branch line of San Pedro – Carmona with Length of 4.7 km.) based on the Working Timetable 55-A dated April 15, 2004. The total length of heavy rail currently in operation is approximately 489.5 km. with gauge of 1.067 m. There are limited data available for freight and passenger along railways. These are essentially due to the fact that there are few non-operational lines in the Philippines including the Philippine National Railways (PNR) Main Line South and Commuter Line, the EDSA MRT, the LRT Line 1 and the LRT Line 2. Among these, only the PNR Main Line South qualifies for inter-regional passenger and freight movements.

b. Rail Transport Statistics

The summary of rail transport statistics is shown in Table 17. It will be observed that the route length decreases from 523 to 85 kms in 2006. This is so because the PNR Main Line South becomes non-operational.

Conclusion and Recommendations


31

6. Conclusion In the Philippines, several government agencies are involved in the planning and administration of the transport sector. The two lead agencies are: the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and Department of Transportation and Communications. Most of the transportation data (rail, road, water, air). Some other agencies which contribute to the transportation statistics of the country are: Air Transportation Office (ATO), Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), Philippine National Railways (PNR), Land Transportation Office (LTO), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Philippine National Police – Traffic Management Group (PNP-TMG) and Philippine coast Guard (PCG). However, there are cases that transportation statistics are gathered by different agencies using different classifications. It is important to harmonize them in order to have greater international comparability. Data users should also be organized in order to discuss and determine the factors or indicators that will be gathered by the National Statistics Coordination Board (NSCB) for the transport Sector. Also, budget should be provided for updating the transport data for different agencies, most especially for those agencies, which produces data as by-product of their primary function.
