TOP CITIES: THE BIAS TOWARDS
METRO MANILA PERSISTS!

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.
