indicators in the Philippines showed that
out of the 48 indicators, 29 could be obtained from the various government
surveys and administrative records; 8 indicators are not available; and 11
are found not applicable in the Philippines. For some of the 8 indicators
which are not available, there are international organizations such as the
UNAIDS, WHO, World Bank, and International Telecommunications Unit (ITU)
which have country estimates on these indicators.
The 11 indicators which are not applicable
in the Philippines fall under Goal 8 – Develop a Global Partnership for
Development. Some of these indicators are more relevant to least developed
countries (LDCs), Africa, landlocked countries, small island developing
States, and HIPs.
