r1 - Updated 2021 poverty statistics for the national, BARMM and Sulu due to updates in the food prices of Sulu.
r2 - Revised 2018 and 2021 poverty statistics of Regions VI and VII due to the creation of the Negros Island Region based on Executive Order (EO) No. 183.
1/ significant change; The increase or decrease in the magnitude of poor population between 2018 and 2021 is significant at 5% level of significance (α = 0.05).
2/ significant change; The increase or decrease in the magnitude of poor population between 2021 and 2023 is significant at 5% level of significance (α = 0.05).
3/ significant change; The increase or decrease in the magnitude of poor population between 2018 and 2023 is significant at 5% level of significance (α = 0.05).
4/ The 2018 and 2021 estimates still include the 63 barangays from Cotabato and Cotabato City, which are now part of BARMM.
5/ The 2018 and 2021 estimates still exclude the 63 barangays from Cotabato and Cotabato City, which are now part of BARMM in 2023.
Coefficient of variation (CV) and standard error (SE) are measures of precision of the estimates.
a/ Those with CVs higher than 10% in 2018 magnitude of poor population should be used with caution.
b/ Those with CVs higher than 10% in 2021 magnitude of poor population should be used with caution.
c/ Those with CVs higher than 10% in 2023 magnitude of poor population should be used with caution.
