and 2004 (Figures A1 to A89). 3 The poverty scorecard is constructed using the 2004APIS and household-level lines, scores are calibrated to household-level povertylikelihoods, and accuracy is measured for household-level rates. This use of householdlevelrates reflects the belief that they are relevant for most pro-poor organizations.Organizations can estimate person-level poverty rates by taking a household-sizeweightedaverage of the household-level poverty likelihoods. It is also possible toconstruct a scorecard based on person-level lines, calibrate scores to person-levellikelihoods, and measure accuracy for person-level rates, but it is not done here.2.2.2 Poverty linesThe national poverty line (PHP39.52 per person per day, Figure A1) is definedas the food poverty line (PHP25.72) plus the income required to cover average non-foodexpenditure for households whose food expenditure per capita is within +/–10 percentof the food poverty line. 4 The scorecard here is constructed using the national line.The poverty lines are based on data from the triennial Family Income andExpenditure Survey (FIES). For the 2002 APIS, this paper applies the 2002 lines3Many of the estimated poverty rates in Figures A2 to A89 are not very precise becausethey are based on small samples.4The food line is based on “regional menus priced at the provincial level . . . using lowcost,nutritionally adequate food items satisfying basic food requirements of 2,000calories, which are 100-percent adequate for the Recommended Energy and NutrientIntake (RENI) for energy and protein and 80 percent adequate for the RENI forvitamins, minerals, and other nutrients” (National Statistical Coordination Board, 2007,p. 1).3
derived from the 2000 FIES by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB),and for the 2004 APIS, it applies the 2004 lines set by the NSCB from the 2003 FIES. 5In strict terms, FIES lines should not be applied to APIS data. As noted bySchelzig (2005, p. 131), FIES and APIS use different income and consumption modulesand different reference periods (FIES makes two visits and covers the whole year, APISmakes one visit and covers July). There are no official poverty rates based on APIS,“most likely because they would conflict with the FIES results”. Given this paper usesthe APIS data, however, the FIES poverty lines are the best available.For the Philippines as a whole, the household-level poverty rates in the 2004APIS are 31.4 percent for the national line and 15.4 percent for the food line (Figure 2).Compared with the 2002 APIS, these are reductions of 0.4 and 0.3 percentage points.As an imperfect comparison, the 2003 FIES household-level poverty rates are24.4 percent (national) and 10.2 percent (food). Compared with the 2000 FIES, theseare reductions of 3.1 and 2.1 percentage points. 6In the end, both the levels and changes in poverty rates differ between APIS andFIES, although the changes are in the same direction.5http://www.nscb.gov.ph/poverty/2002/2002povTreshold.asp,http://www.nscb.gov.ph/poverty/2002/2002foodTreshold.asp,http://www.nscb.gov.ph/poverty/2004/pov_th.asp, andhttp://www.nscb.gov.ph/poverty/2004/food_th.asp, all accessed January 27, 2009.6http://www.nscb.gov.ph/poverty/2004/table_1.asp, andhttp://www.nscb.gov.ph/poverty/2004/table_3.asp, both accessed February 6,20094
