THE PINOY DIASPORA: WHERE DO
In the first quarter of 2012, one barangay was added with the division of Barangay Canumay, Valenzuela City into: Barangay Canumay West and Barangay Canumay East bringing the total number of barangays to 42,027. The division of the said barangay was pursuant to Ordinance No. 37, Series of 2011, approved on November 21, 2011 by the Sangguniang Panglungsod of Valenzuela City and ratified through a plebiscite conducted by the COMELEC on March 3, 2012. Per Philippine Standard Geographic Code (PSGC), compiled by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), Barangay Canumay West retains the code 137504007 while Barangay Canumay East gets a new code, 137504033.
TOP CITIES: THE BIAS TOWARDS The NSCB Technical Staff has been exerting efforts towards good governance in our country. By presenting comparative statistics on income and expenditure patterns of Local Government Units (LGUs), we hope to contribute not only towards informed decision-making by our political leaders but more importantly, towards informed choices during elections by the governed. Our efforts in generating and disseminating governance statistics gained momentum in 2004, when we were invited by Raul Suarez de Miguel to participate in the METAGORA project of the OECD-hosted PARIS21. Since 2003, the NSCB Technical Staff has been compiling governance indicators. In this area of work, we had been “complained” about by politicians, but we draw strength on the encouraging support from Prof. Winnie “Mareng Winnie” Monsod, Executive Director Malou Mangahas of the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, and other partners, and we have persevered. In fact, one chapter of the Philippine Statistical Development Plan 2011-2017 is devoted to governance statistics. After all, public disclosure of LGU performance is one key strategy in the Philippine Development Plan 2011-2016.
