LISTAHANAN/ NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD TARGETING SYSTEM FOR POVERTY REDUCTION (NHTS-PR)
Listahanan, or the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR), is an information management system that employs geographic targeting, household assessment, and validation in order to provide national government agencies, development partners, and other social protection actors with information on who and where the poor are in the Philippines. This information is then used for the identification and selection of potential beneficiaries for various poverty alleviation and social protection programs.
Listahanan primary website interface with the Home, About, Statistics, Contact Us, News, Gallery, Infographics and Resource Materials navigation icons which can be surfed on http://listahanan.dswd.gov.ph/.
Background and Problem
The DSWD has relied in the past on program-specific targeting mechanisms, which employed varied and often inconsistent methods—an approach which was short on uniformity and objectivity, and often relied on self-declared data from potential beneficiaries. This lack of standardization meant inefficiency and high costs, as each new program would have to bring its own targeting approach to bear. Results were also unsatisfactory, with cases of leakage (the inclusion of non-poor beneficiaries) and deprivation (the exclusion of poor beneficiaries) in the delivery of services to the poor. This, coupled with limited resources, means that ensuring the equitable distribution of services to the poor through a standardized, accurate, and reliable targeting system is essential in addressing poverty.
Solution and Impact
NHTS-PR reduces both the leakage and deprivation of social protection programs and services by establishing an objective targeting system that compiles information to create a database of identified poor families and households. Utilizing a unified set of criteria for identifying the poor ensures that resources and efforts are concentrated on those who most need assistance, ensuring lower costs, better impact, and increased transparency and credibility of social protection programs.
The identification of poor households follows a four-phase project cycle. This begins with the Preparatory Phase where target areas for household assessment and the appropriate data collection strategies are identified. This is followed by the Data Collection and Analysis Phase. During this phase, DSWD-hired enumerators conduct household interviews to gather basic and socio-economic information through a standardized questionnaire called the Household Assessment Form (HAF), which is then processed through a proxy means test (PMT) that estimates family income and compares it to the provincial poverty threshold. For the last phases, the results of the PMT are then validated locally, finalized, compiled, and generated into National and Regional Profiles of the Poor. Data sharing partnerships with various social protection stakeholders are established through a memorandum of agreement to ensure data privacy and to guarantee that the data will only be used as guide for selecting beneficiaries and developing various poverty alleviation and social welfare and development pro
Listahanan’s project phases.
Milestones
In 2009, the NHTS-PR conducted the first round of assessment which resulted to the identification of 5,255,118 poor out of 10,909,456 households assessed.
In 2010, Executive Order No. 867 entitled, “Providing for the Adoption of the National Targeting System for Poverty Reduction as the Mechanism for Identifying Poor Households Who Shall Be Recipients of Social Protection Programs Nationwide” was issued. This mandated government agencies to use the NHTS-PR data as basis for selecting beneficiaries of their social protection programs.
The data generated from the first assessment were shared with 1,256 data users comprising of 55 National Government Agencies (NGAs), 1,095 Local Government Units (LGUs), 56 Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), 34 legislators, and 15 academic institutions and researchers. NHTS-PR became the basis for selecting beneficiaries of notable government programs such as the PhilHealth Indigent Program and Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). The former subsidized the insurance premium of all 5.2 million poor households while the latter provided health and education grants to 4.2 million. These are only among social protection programs that provided targeted services to the poor in the fields as diverse as education, employment, health and nutrition, maternal and childcare, water and sanitation, shelter, electricity, and environmental protection. NHTS-PR is also supported by international partners such as the World Bank and the Australian Department of Trade and Industry
Listahanan Statistical e-Map which shares data on poor, near poor and non-poor households as of 2015.
In compliance with Section 2 of EO 867 which requires the DSWD to update the NHTS-PR every four years, the Department embarked on its second nationwide assessment.
In preparation for the said assessment, new guidelines, protocols and systems were put in place to maintain transparency and objectivity, ensure faster and efficient implementation, and prevent political interference in its implementation. A new PMT model was also developed using variables lifted from the 2009 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), Labor Force Survey (LFS), and 2007 Census of Population and Housing (CPH). It features a 2nd stage screener that weeds out possible inclusion errors. These improvements in the PMT model lowered its model-based error rates, from having 22-25% and 31-35% inclusion and exclusion rates, respectively, in the 2009 model to having 10.6-13.8% and 6.8-19.3% inclusion and exclusion rates in the 2013 model.
The said assessment resulted in the identification of 5.1 million poor out of 15.1 million households assessed. With the result of second assessment, the Department was able to track changes in the status of previously identified poor households, particularly of 4Ps beneficiaries. Of the 4.2 million beneficiaries of the said program, 1.3 million households registered as non-poor.
After two assessment cycles, the NHTS-PR data continues to be a vital information resource for the government, providing an objective basis for beneficiary selection and a rich data resource for planning, developing and monitoring program interventions.
Testimonial Excerpt from the Country Director of the World Bank Philippines, Dr. Mara Warwick, during her Remarks at the 2015 Listahanan Launch “Grounded in empirical studies, the World Bank recognizes Listahanan as a leading “good practice example” for a growing number of countries that aspire to introduce such registries. This brings me back to my original question: why is Listahanan so important? I would like to highlight four key reasons.
First, by enabling the Government to target programs to the poor and vulnerable, Listahanan is increasing both the efficiency and effectiveness of public spending. It is also improving the governance of Social Protection in the Philippines by removing political patronage from distribution of public resources to citizens. Let me elaborate. Listahanan tells the Government who poor families are and where they live. It ensures that the intended beneficiaries of public funds for poverty reduction have names and faces. This enables objective selection of the beneficiaries of government programs through the use of transparent, objective and verifiable criteria, validated by the community, to estimate poverty in Filipino families. Using the so called “proxy means test method,” poverty lines determined by the Philippines Statistics Service and community validation, Listahanan 2015 has identified 5.1 million households who are poor. Targeting anti-poverty programs to those 5.1 million households will be critical to realizing the aspiration to end poverty in the Philippines within a generation. Listahanan is the key platform for such targeting, just as Listahanan 2010 was used to identify beneficiaries of government programs.
Second, Listahanan is important because its impact is far-reaching across the Philippines. Listahanan is currently used by 59 national agencies to target programs where they are needed most, including the Pantawid, and the PhilHealth subsidized health insurance. It enables transparent and fair selection of beneficiaries of government programs. How? Programs draw initial lists of poor and vulnerable families from Listahanan, and the families are then checked for program specific eligibility requirements. When the families meet the requirements, they receive the benefits. In addition to Pantawid and PhilHealth, Listahanan is also used by 1,095 Local Government Units, 56 Civil Society Organizations, 34 legislators, and 15 universities and research institutions. Looking ahead, we hope that Listahanan 2015 will add value to all government agencies and LGUs towards maximizing the impact of public funding and ensuring that the poor and vulnerable benefit from their respective programs.
Third, Listahanan is important because of what it means for all citizens. Listahanan is an anchor for an objective and transparent approach to selecting beneficiaries. Such transparency is important for citizens, affecting how people perceive their government. Citizens are able to see that public funding and government services are deployed fairly, rather than as gifts or as favors. This in turn signals an important shift and the beginnings of a deeper transformation in state-society relations: people start seeing government services as public goods rather than as personal rewards.
Fourth, as I mentioned before, Listahanan is important because its targeting performance is excellent by international standards based on the available empirical evidence. While there is no such thing as perfect targeting, the tool that you have developed does an excellent job in identifying the poor and vulnerable. Listahanan is supporting impressive results and must continue to evolve and adapt over time for even greater impact.” # Source - Development Academy of the Philippines

DSWD SUPPORTS PROPER IMPLEMENTATION OF PRE-MARRIAGE COUNSELING, ORIENTATION OF COUPLES
As one of the members of the technical working group (TWG) for the implementation of the Pre-Marriage Orientation and Counseling (PMOC) Program, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) vowed its full support to assist national government agencies and local government units (LGUs) to streamline the process and effectively execute the PMOC.
Based on the revised guidelines on the conduct of the PMOC Program, the DSWD is tasked to accredit Pre-Marriage (PM) Counselors and to provide technical assistance to LGUs and PMOC teams which includes the provision of relevant training to accredited PMOC counselors.
The contacting parties or would-be-married couples, who will apply for a marriage license at the Local Civil Registry Office (LCRO), are required to undergo a Pre-Marriage Orientation and Pre-Marriage Counseling as pre-requisite in securing a marriage license. Prior to the PMOC sessions, the contracting parties must accomplish a Marriage Expectation Inventory Form (MEIF) at the PMOC Secretariat.
Applicants who are 18-25 years old, except those marriages that are exempted from license requirement as provided for in the Family Code of the Philippines, are obligated to personally attend the PM orientation that will be conducted by the PMOC Secretariat and PM counseling session that will be facilitated by an accredited PM counselor who is a member of the local PMOC.
Meanwhile, contracting parties 18-25 years old who have certificates issued by a priest, minister, or imam (Muslim priest) to formalize their marriage are no longer required to undergo PM counseling.
The topics that will be discussed in the PMO session include information on responsible parenthood, family planning, marriage and relationship, and breastfeeding and infant nutrition.
The DSWD is committed to ensuring that appropriate training will be provided to PM counselors to ensure that couples are provided with extensive information to strengthen the foundation of the Filipino family and the practice of responsible parenthood.
The PMOC-TWG is chaired by the Commission on Population (POPCOM) with the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) as its vice-chair. Other members of the PMOC include the DSWD, Department of Health (DOH), and the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). # Source – www.dswd.gov.ph

WORLD FOOD DAY 2018 CALLS FOR #ZEROHUNGER
The Department of Agriculture (DA) concludes the celebration of 2018 World Food Day (WFD) on October 16 at the Liwasang Aurora in Quezon City Circle with its theme: “Our Actions are our Future. A #ZeroHunger world by 2030 is possible”.
Agriculture Secretary Manny F. Piñol, together with Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Representative to the Philippines Jose Luis Fernandez and other DA key officials graced the culminating activity.
The #ZeroHunger campaign urges world leaders to come together and take account of lessons learned and adopt best practices to address hunger, malnutrition, and poverty.
Miss World 2013 and Zero Hunger Champion Megan Young also graced the said event. In her speech she stressed that food hunger and malnutrition can be resolved within us. She said zero hunger is possible if more people were informed and educated towards healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
“We can become zero hunger generation if we join forces across nations, across sectors, and professions,” Young said.
She said as an advocate it is very important that she will be able to change mindset and behavior of people towards proper eating of food and using earth resources wisely.
“I respect food because I respect my body and respecting food means knowing where the food comes from,” Young said.
Young said that the #ZeroHunger is possible thru the following actions: love your leftovers, adopt healthy and sustainable lifestyle, store food wisely, use less water, be a more conscious consumer, and educate yourself on food labeling.
In his message, Piñol urged DA employees to continue working hard towards achieving available and affordable food for every Filipino.
“Huwag tayong magpadala sa mga ingay na iyan kasi ang misyon natin nakapokus towards sustainable goals,” Piñol said.
“Our responsibility as food producers extend towards the next generation,” he added.
Piñol announced that the government’s five-year food security plan aims to help local government units to produce and secure enough food within their locality.
The Secretary added that through the Municipal and City Cluster Wide Food Security Summit last October 3,4,5, and 9, the government was able to draw out realistic and practical plan, which will serve as basis of programs and expenditures for 2020 and beyond.
Lastly, he urged the DA officials to fast-track the National Food Consumption Quantification study, thru the assistance of FAO, which will help the department in implementing programs. # Source - (Kristel Merle, DA-AFID)

40 INDIGENOUS FILIPINOS UNITE IN ILOCOS TO PRESERVE THEIR CULTURE
Forty indigenous Pinoys gathered at the National Museum Ilocos Region complex in this city last October 7 to celebrate National Indigenous People’s Month this October.
Students, teachers, and residents from 12 indigenous communities from all over the country showed their unique dances, musical instruments, songs, and attires to help preserve their identity, and their cultural heritage, to residents of the city.
They are the Blaan of Sarangani, the Tagbanwa of Palawan, the Mangyan of Occidental Mindoro, the Yakan of Basilan, the Maguindanaoan of Cotabato, the Bugkalot of Nueva Ecija, the Ga’dang of South Cotabato, the Ibaloy of Benguet, the T’boli of South Cotabato, the Ipugaw of Ifugao, the Ayta of Bataan, and the Tinggian of Ilocos Norte.
The event called “Gameng” or wealth, is a lecture and workshop on indigenous cultures conducted by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, City Government of Laoag and Barangay Casili, Katutubo Exchange Philippines (KEP) and the National Museum Ilocos Region, to celebrate also Museum and Galleries Month this October.
Before the program began, a press conference conducted by the Ilocos Sur Information Center of the Philippine Information Agency, helped introduce the Katutubo Exchange to local media through its president, Dr Edwin Antonio. It cleared some issues on the preservation of indigenous cultures in the country, understanding of the attires of the indigenous peoples, and prevention of discrimination against their communities.
The audience composed of teachers, students, media personalities, museum staff and residents, were taught indigenous dances to help them understand the culture of their indigenous brother and sisters.
This was the closing program of the October 5-7 Katutubo Exchange Ilocos 2018 (Akhad Eskwela Katutubo) led by Dr Antonio. The other activities held in Ilocos Norte included a ‘parada’ (parade) of indigenous people on kalesa in Laoag City covering the city market, Laoag Central School, Capitol and City Hall; a grand opening ceremony at the Laoag City Multi-purpose Hall; Kannawidan: An Evening of Philippine Indigenous Performances at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Paoay Church; Dap-ayan: Interaction with the Weavers and National Living Treasure Magdalena Gamayo at Lumbaan-Bicbica, Pinili town; and Tillaong: Immersion with Tinggian community at the Eco-cultural park in Nueva Era town.
Antonio said that this is the second time that Katutubo Exchange Philippines came to the World Heritage city to show the culture of the indigenous communities of the country. The first was in May 2017 when he and two teeners from Sarangani and Batanes were guests for two episodes of the Ilocano culture-anchored radio program of PIA Ilocos Sur, “Dap-ayan Pagdadapilan,” at DZNS Vigan.
Katutubo Exchange Philippines began in 2013 as a “multi-level cultural exchange platform among indigenous youth groups from all around the Philippines, is an annual program of Katutubo Exchange Philippines,” said Antonio during the presscon. “It aims to promote awareness of indigenous cultures, empower indigenous peoples, embrace indigenous beauty and magnificence, and celebrate oneness of the Filipino race even in the face of multi-dynamic cultural ethos and traditions.”
Its programs include Katutubo Exchange, community outreach in education, environment, arts and culture, health and nutrition; international outreach; sentro katutubo with activities like Museo Katutubo, arts camp, and katutubo residency. # Source - (JND/ICR/PIA1 Ilocos Sur)

DSWD SECRETARY REITERATES COMMITMENT TO REDUCING POVERTY
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Virginia N. Orogo gives a message during the 40th Samar Island Partnership for Peace and Development (SIPPAD) Forum at St. Mary’s College in the City of Borongan, Eastern Samar last week. The Secretary also answers queries regarding the programs and services of the DSWD during the forum.
“We will never stop. We will remain committed, supporting all efforts to help our President and his administration reach the goal of reducing poverty by 14 percent by the year 2022. I can’t wait to see more people enjoying their freedom from poverty.”
This was the main message of DSWD Secretary Virginia N. Orogo during the 40th Samar Island Partnership for Peace and Development (SIPPAD) Forum at St. Mary’s College in the City of Borongan, Eastern Samar last week.
Sec. Orogo said she was grateful to be invited as a guest to SIPPAD’s 40th assembly, which carried the theme “Towards Equalizing Access to Social Development Opportunities Among the Marginalized Sectors.”
She congratulated the organization for bringing together various non-government organizations, faith-based organizations, the academe, and agencies of the government in its efforts towards peace and development.
The Secretary, who had over 40 years of community work, also emphasized the importance of empowering communities during the event.
“We need empowered communities who are able to stand and help their own people to grow. Empowering communities by providing them access to knowledge and technology and increasing their ability to manage resources is a key towards a more inclusive growth and development,” she said.
“Our country is facing numerous economic challenges and signs of poverty can be seen everywhere. Despite this, our kababayans continue to be positive, holding on to the hope that one day, their lives will improve with the help of the government,” she continued.
On a lighter note, the Secretary shared her experiences as the country’s head of the social welfare department.
“Five months ago, I accepted the challenge of being the Acting Secretary of the DSWD. It was definitely not easy, as I tried to be available 24/7 to perform my duties and to fulfill the Department’s mandate of extending aid to the most vulnerable sectors of our society. But that’s the call—and I heeded that call,” she said.
She is thankful for all the support that she received since she became the top official of the DSWD.
“I am happy whenever I am greeted by the warm welcome and glowing faces of our kababayans everywhere I go around the country. And I am really thankful for that,” she ended. # Source – www.dswd.gov.ph

DILG TO LGUS: GET ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE BEFORE STARTING ANY ENV'TAL PROJECT
In ensuring the protection of the people and safeguarding the environment against man-made disasters, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is reminding all local government units (LGUs) to secure an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) from the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) before operating any environmental project.
In Memorandum Circular 2018-152, DILG OIC-Secretary Eduardo M. Año says that projects that pose possible environmental risk or impact are required to secure an ECC from the DENR-Environmental Management Bureau. Among such projects are mining, agriculture projects, and golf course construction.
“Sometimes there is a flip side to development as unchecked development takes its toll on the environment. While we, therefore, encourage the influx of new businesses, local governments should always consider the potential impact of new projects on the environment and to nearby residents,” says Año.
The DILG Chief says the tragic environmental degradation of Boracay Island is a classic example of how unregulated development made the famous white-sand holiday destination into a ‘cesspool’.
“Huwag na nating hayaang mangyari pa ang nangyari sa Boracay. Huwag nating ishort cut ang mga proseso para lang sa negosyo. Kailangan nating siguruhin na mayroong ECC bago magsimula ang anumang proyekto na alam nating makakaapekto sa kalikasan,” he says.
Presidential Decree No. 1586 dated June 11, 1978 (Establishing an Environmental Impact Statement System including other Environmental Management-Related Measures) states that “no person, partnership, or corporation shall undertake or operate any declared environmentally critical project or area without securing first an ECC..”
Applications for ECCs are reviewed and granted by the DENR through the EMB as stated in Malacañang’s Administrative Order 42 issued on November 2, 2002.
An ECC is issued after a positive review of the project’s application by the DENR-EMB. It indicates that a proposed undertaking will not cause a significant negative impact on the environment. The project proponent must then fulfill the specific measures and conditions indicated in the ECC before and during the operation of the project and even after the project completion.
An ECC also certifies that the proponent has complied with all the requirements of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) System and has committed to implement its approved environmental management plan.
In cases where DENR-EMB finds that an ECC is not applicable, a Certificate of Non-Coverage (CNC) shall be issued confirming that the proposed project is not part of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and poses no environmental threat. # Source – www.dilg.gov.ph
