CONTENTS


In 2011, the National Statistical Coordination Board Technical Staff (NSCB-TS) observed its 24th anniversary in a year of exceptional achievement. The NSCB-TS for the past years has been noted for outstanding performance since its beginnings and in many aspects, reached new levels in 2011. Due to our proactive outlook and positive work attitude, we were able to reach most of our set goals amidst limited manpower and financial resources. We continued to do better especially on our work on statistical policy formulation, development and maintenance of statistical frameworks and indicators, provision of statistical products and services and coordination of national and subnational statistical system. We take pride in highlighting our accomplishments in 2011 thru this Annual Report.

During the year, foremost among the major outputs of the NSCB-TS was the release of the revised/rebased (2000=100) National Accounts of the Philippines (NAP) estimates for 1998-2010. The revision and rebasing of the NAP was done as part of the "Improving the Quality and Usefulness of the Philippine System of National Accounts (PSNA)" Project of the NSCB-TS with funding assistance from the World Bank. The said project involved the updating of the PSNA to incorporate new developments/new set of international statistical standards and guidelines of the updated 2008 SNA. The NSCB-TS also released the 2009 official provincial poverty statistics using the refined official poverty estimation methodology formulated based on the overall review undertaken by the Technical Committee on Poverty Statistics (TC PovStat) and approved by the NSCB Executive Board. Back estimates for 2003 and 2006 and 1991 estimates, specifically for MDG monitoring, were also produced.

As coordinator of the Philippine Statistical System (PSS), our initiatives in statistical policy formulation increased during the same year with 16 resolutions and five memorandum orders issued compared to 13 and four in 2010, respectively. These resolutions paved the way for the improvement of the quality and accessibility of government-produced statistics such as on the production, release and dissemination of microdata, compilation of the Philippine National Health Accounts, refinements in the official poverty estimation methodology, and in the revision and amendment of the Philippine Standard Classification Systems, among others.

The NSCB-TS also reviewed and monitored the statistical budgets of 18 agencies, coordinated and monitored six technical committees, 12 interagency committees and a task force, and reviewed and cleared 22 surveys and one questionnaire. Another output of the NSCB-TS in 2011 with funding support from the World Bank was the draft Philippine Statistical Development Program (PSDP) 2011-2017 Volume I which contains the proposed thrusts and directions of the PSS and statistical development programs by sector in the medium term.

In the same period, the NSCB-TS increased its stakeholders’ satisfaction/appreciation to statistics and utilization of data by efficiently providing its statistical products and services to its various stakeholders. Records show that through our National Statistical Information Center (NSIC) in the Central Office and in the nine Regional Divisions, clients served went up by 31% with 13,538 in 2011 from 10,328 in 2010. Our web performance also increased with 13,078,873 page views in 2011 compared to 12,026,866 in the previous year (up by 9%). We also increased the number of our press releases and web announcements disseminated with 215 in 2011 from 128 in 2010 (up by 68%). We were happy to note that our news articles/press releases and other information/data disseminated were published at least 1,112 times in various local, national, and international newspapers and websites as monitored by the NSCB compared to 746 in 2010 (up by 49%).

These we have done through the tireless efforts of our dedicated, work-oriented and professional employees. Our vision for instituting statistical literacy among our stakeholders and effectively responding to country’s growing need for statistical advancement is sharply on track towards a better and more progressive Philippine Statistical System.

We take the opportunity to thank our partners in the PSS for their continued support. Their selfless cooperation and active participation to all our undertakings helped the NSCB deliver results that contribute to our overarching goal to provide true public statistical service for the benefit of our stakeholders towards the empowerment of the Filipino people.

Statistical Standards and Classification System

2009 Philippine Classification of Individual Consumption Expenditure According to Purpose (PCOICOP)

The 2009 PCOICOP is the first standard classification of individual consumption expenditures in the country which was patterned after the 1999 Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP) issued by the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD). In 2011, the NSCB-TS made the 2009 PCOICOP available online thru its website at: http://www.nscb.gov.ph/activestats/pcoicop

This is one of the 13 free interactive online databases developed by the NSCB-TS.

2011 Philippine Standard Occupational Classification (PSOC), Draft

The PSOC serves as guide to establishments and other institutions dealing with job placements and recruitment services, vocational training and guidance, immigration purposes and related concerns and as basis for manpower educational planning, program formulation and policy-and-decision-making and framework for statistical operations. It is also used in household and establishment surveys of the PSS. During the year, the NSCB-TS worked on the draft revision of the 2011 PSOC.

Statistical Advocacy

22nd National Statistics Month (NSM) celebration

As in the past, the NSCB-TS spearheaded the celebration of the 22nd National Statistics Month (NSM) with a series of successful statistical activities held in various parts of the country. The celebration hosted by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) with the theme "Quality Social Protection Statistics for Focused Targeting: Improving Outcomes, Changing Lives” was highlighted by the following events:

Opening ceremonies held on October 3, 2011 at the Century Park Hotel, Malate, Manila with DSWD Secretary Corazon Juliano-Soliman as keynote speaker. During the program, the DSWD as host of the 22nd NSM, launched the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR) data-base. The NHTS-PR database is an information management system aimed at creating an objective and transparent database of poor households that will serve as guide in identifying beneficiaries of their social protection programs.

In March 2011, the Cabinet Cluster on Human Development and Poverty Reduction (CCHDPR) decided to create the Technical Working Group on Poverty Monitoring and Indicator Systems (TWG-PMIS) to harmonize the different statistical frameworks/indicator systems on poverty reduction from various government agencies. The TWG-PMIS had a series of meetings and workshops to develop conceptual and statistical frameworks and to come up with an inventory of indicator systems on poverty reduction existing in the government. Hence, the Conceptual and Statistical Frameworks on Poverty Monitoring and Indicator Systems and the Philippine Poverty Statistics Portal were launched during the Opening Ceremonies. The Philippine Poverty Statistics Portal aims to serve as a one-stop web portal on information and statistics on poverty to communicate official poverty statistics and other related poverty indicators to a wider audience.



Similar tree planting activities were also conducted in various regions in the country. The Regional Statistical Coordination Committees (RSCCs) in collaboration with the DENR Regional Offices, and NSCB Regional Divisions in Regions VI, VIII, IX, and XII spearheaded the regional NSM tree planting activities. In Davao, a record 900 participants from regional line agencies, local government units, business sector, academe, and media joined the NSM tree planting held in South Dumalama, Barangay Tamugan, Marilog District, Davao City. In Western Visayas, in the joint effort of the Provincial Government of Iloilo, RSCC 6 and DENR 6, a total of 4,060 participants from RLAs, LGUs, Academe, Private Organizations, Media, Business sector, Philippine Army and PNP joined the “Piyesta sa Kakahuyan” Tree Planting Activity in Celebration of the 22nd NSM in Sito Agdalusan, Brgy. Jayubo, Lambunao, Iloilo where 6,900 seedlings of Narra, 2,800 seedlings of Toong and 300 seed-lings of Tapiya were planted.

The main recommendations of the Conference were:

For the international community:

to support efforts by countries to make MDG targets more ambitious and better tailored to different levels of development (including the use of additional, proxy or complementary indicators;

to address all unresolved issues in the application of standard definitions and methodolo-gies for the compilation of the MDG indicators; to strengthen country ownership of MDG monitoring process;

to continue efforts to enhance data management and analytical tools such as SDMX, country progress snapshots and DevInfo;

to increase efforts to provide guidelines and support for localizing MDG monitoring and addressing inequalities; and;

to assess the overall progress of statistical systems around the world as a result of the MDG monitoring process.

For national statistical systems:

to improve the compilation of metadata in countries and their accessibility by users;

to reiterate the importance of increased communication and better coordination between and among international agencies and national statistical systems/regional organizations;

to advocate both at the national and international level increased promotion of MDG statistics not only to track progress but also to be used as basis for policy and program interventions by governments and the international community; and:

to ensure the full involvement of the statistical community in the setting of targets and indicators for MDGs beyond 2015, including sustaining the gains achieved in statistical capacity building.

Official Poverty Statistics

The 2009 Official Poverty Statistics based on the refined official poverty estimation methodology was released on February 8, 2011. The 2011 Refinements of the Official Poverty Estimation Methodology was the result of serious and dedicated efforts of the Technical Committee on Poverty Statistics (TC-PovStat) being coordinated by the NSCB-TS. One major issue that was addressed in the latest refinements was on the comparability of the poverty estimates across space and over time. In the refinement, the adoption of provincial food bundles was recommended in the estimation of the provincial food thresholds, instead of using regional food bundles as what was earlier used. There were also changes in the estimation of non-food component, indirect estimation will still be used through the average FE/TBE ratio nationally determined from the 2000, 2003, 2006 and 2009 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) instead of a different FE/TBE ratio for each FIES year. The following are the major products and services of the NSCB-TS on poverty statistics in 2011:

2009 Philippine Poverty Statistics generated, based on the refinements in the official poverty estimation methodology approved by the NSCB Executive Board on February 1, 2011, and esti-mates released during a press conference on February 8, 2011;
