ESTIMATING INFORMAL SETTLERS IN THE PHILIPPINES

In the Housing Backlog Study commissioned by the HUDCC, the Consultants prepared the estimates of Informal Settlers in the Philippines. According to the Spatial Statistics of
Informal Settlers in the Philippines component of the Study, informal settler families reached an estimated 550,771 households as of August 1, 2007. This is based on the extrapolation made using the 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) and the 2007 Census of
Population. The study showed that the highest concentration of informal settlers was in
Quezon City, having more than 90 thousand households. Far second are Rizal in
Calabarzon and Davao City in the Davao Region, both with more than 20 thousand households in the informal settler sector.

It should be noted that for this specific study, Informal Settlers are defined as those households1 whose tenure status is “rent-free without consent of owner”. The 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) data provides statistics on households with tenure of lot,
“rent-free without consent of owner” which were then classified as informal settlers.
However, the 2007 Census of Population did not include the “housing aspect”, hence the study used the characteristic observed in CPH 2000 to project the numbers for 2007.
The HUDCC then compared the result of the Study with the Survey on Informal Settlers in
Metro Manila conducted by the NHA in 2007. In Table 2, the NHA identified 544,609 informal settler families in Metro Manila, while the NS0-CPH figures account for only 199,398 informal settler families.

    The chapter demonstrates the aspects of comparative historical research. In the first part of the chapter, After the Fact, Serving Time in Virginia, various research methods used to verify what happened in the early Virginia colony by evaluation of Captain John Smith’s original narrative written to his published narrative, the research to seek historical evidence to verify names, dates and people, interpretation of anthropological facts about Algonquin Indians, and evaluation his writing style. As the chapter continues, it delves into historical analysis of economic and cultural growth of the Virginia colony reverting to what the author calls “most basic tactics of sociology” (After the Fact 6). The early colony failures were identified by historian’s research of documents from Colonial Virginia such as Smith’s writings; land company charters, written policies, and letters all reveal details about the colonies economics; trade company involvement, survival rate for new colonists, and identify innuendo’s of slavery and indentured servants. Historic research of these documents allows the author to make inferences about economic growth and how it relates to the cultural growth of the Virginia colony.…
