y 6,097 persons over the population count of 81,598 persons in 2000 or 7.47 percent increase over the 2000 count. The recent population count for the province translates to an annual growth rate of 1.0 percent for the period 2000 to 2007. It is lower than the 2.2 percent annual growth rate for the period 1995-2000 by 1.2 percent. In the whole of Region VII, Siquijor registered the lowest annual population growth rate (APGR), followed by Bohol’s 1.1 percent and Negros Oriental’s 1.2 percent. The province with the highest APGR is Cebu. The three provinces of Siquijor, Bohol and Negros Oriental have lower APGRs than the regional rate while Cebu exceeded the regional APGR by 0.1 percent. Region VII, however, still has a lower APGR than the national figure. In 2000, Cebu had the highest population density of 489 persons/ sq.km. Bohol followed with 276 persons/ sq.km., then Siquijor with 256 persons/ sq.km. and finally, Negros Oriental with the lowest population density of 208.4 persons/ sq.km. Only Cebu had a population density higher than the regional population density of 381 persons/sq.km. Compared with the national figure, Cebu and Bohol registered higher population densities. Among the municipalities, Larena registered the highest population density of 329 persons/sq.km. based on the 2007 census. This could be due to its smaller land area, followed by San Juan with 326 persons/ sq.km., Siquijor with 288 persons/sq.km., Lazi with 265, Maria with 230, and Enrique Villanueva with the lowest density of 210 persons/sq.km.

Tagalog as well as English, however, are understood by a big majority of the population. The big influencing factors include the movies, radio, television and publications. English remains as the medium of instruction in schools, colleges, and other higher learning institutions aside from the fact that most foreigners who live in Siquijor are English-speaking people. 3.3 Social Environment Siquijor province has its own unique island ecosystem and contains endemic and wildlife species probably not found anywhere in the country. There are no existing biological assessments in the island that can establish the condition and diversity of species. The different ecosystems considered vital to the overall status of the natural environment include coastal, marine and terrestrial ecosystems. National guidelines exist for the protection of such ecosystems. Province of Siquijor Generally, there is little or no pollution in the rivers and foreshore areas except for visible garbage (particularly plastics and glass bottles) thrown or left indiscriminately by the locals and tourists alike. The waters around the harbors are visibly clear. In fact, according to some diving experts, some of the best dive sites in the island are found near piers in Siquijor and Lazi. 3.3.1 Health Siquijor believes that a healthy and wellcared population is the pillar of a progressive nation. That is why health should be considered a main priority by the government and should thus be given more importance. In the province of Siquijor, mortality data had been observed to be high. Deaths were generally caused by septicemia/Sep- Status Report on the Millennium Development Goals Using CBMS Data
