Philippine Regions Development Analysis

This document summarizes a study that analyzed factors like education, employment, health, and poverty across the 17 regions of the Philippines in 2012. The author used statistical analysis techniques like principal component analysis and cluster analysis. The cluster analysis revealed that the ARMM and MIMAROPA regions formed independent clusters, while the remaining 15 regions clustered into two groups of 5 and 10 regions. The study also found inverse relationships between crime, poverty, and health mortality rates and factors like higher education, employment, income, and basic amenities.

Abstract

The Philippines is one of the fast-growing economies in South-


East Asia and the Pacific. In this study, eight factors were considered:
HEI PRC rate, crime rate, education, employment, health, poverty,
income, and basic family amenities of the 17 regions of the country
all taken from the year 2012 databases of Philippine Statistics
Authority (PSA), Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS)
and Open Data Philippines. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was
used to generate the indexes of the six factors and Cluster Analysis
(CA) to group the similarities of the regions. The clustering process
revealed that ARMM and MIMAROPA Regions have clustered
independently in two individual clusters while the rest of the 15
regions have clustered in two groups of 5 and 10. The study revealed
that crime, poverty and health mortality rates have generally inverse
relationships with HEI PRC percentage performance, employment,
education, income and basic housing amenities.
