3. Foreword
This Provincial Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Report was prepared in accordance with
DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2004-152 dated 10 November 2004, “Guide to Local Government
Units in the Localization of the MDGs”.
The report contains the summary of the entire efforts rendered by the province and its component
LGUs for the Sarangans through close partnership with line agencies of national government and
non-government organizations. Similarly, this report serves as feedback to executive and legislative
bodies for further exploration of measures that would foster the quality of life of the people.
With the implementation of CBMS in the province in 2008, we were able to measure the progress
towards achieving the targets of MDG in 2015. With this MDG Report, the current status, policies,
programs and interventions are being assessed.
This report quantifies the achievements that have been shown and provides a measure of the
tasks that remain or yet to be achieved. It also summarizes progress towards the eight goals of the
province.
A lot of challenges were in the way in the implementation of the different programs/projects of the
province. Nevertheless, these programs/projects were implemented to ensure the delivery of appropri-
ate services and interventions to address the need of our constituents. As contained in this MDG report,
the Provincial Government has implemented programs and projects and formulated policies in line with
its thrust of Progress and Good Governance and to help achieve the targets of the MDG.
This report would not have been made possible without the support and cooperation of various
Provincial Government Offices including National Government Agencies for the valuable contribu-
tion they provided for the completion of this report. With this, earnest appreciation and thanks are
extended to them.
To the staff of the Provincial Planning and Development Office, for the support that led to the
completion of this work, sincere thanks and appreciation are hereby extended.
To the dynamic Provincial Officials headed by the Honorable Governor Miguel Rene A. Domin-
guez, Vice Governor Steve Chiongbian Solon, Members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan and
the Municipal Mayors of the seven component municipalities, special recognition is extended for
responsive governance they pursue.
To our fellow Sarangans, this humble accomplishment is hereby dedicated!

5. Message
The preparation of provincial MDGs reports is a critical step that Local Govern-
ment Units (LGUs) have taken in the overall effort to localize the MDGs. As it is
often said, the MDGs will be ‘won or lost’ at the local level given the conditions
of uneven progress and disparities across regions and provinces in the country.
Beyond the national averages, one can see wide disparities on the gains in
poverty reduction, universal education, child mortality and maternal health. This
situation reinforces the notion that the progress of each province is just as important
as the achievements of the country as a whole. After all, the Philippines’ progress
towards the MDGs, is the sum of the efforts and gains of all LGUs.
By preparing provincial reports, LGUs are provided vital information on the
status of the MDGs in their areas of influence. These reports are important sources
of information for planning, resource allocation and priority setting that LGUs are tasked under their
mandate of effective local governance. Likewise, in the course of the preparation of the reports, the
capacity of LGUs to collect, monitor and use data for decision making has been greatly enhanced.
The reports also show how far the Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS) that UNDP has
supported can go in terms of its use.
Against the backdrop of renewed optimism emanating from the new political leadership, this first
set of nine Provincial Reports on the MDGs is a timely and important milestone. The reports provide
crucial insights on how to overcome the constraints in achieving the MDGs locally as the country
gears towards the last stretch to attain the eight goals by 2015. They also emphasize the important
role of active collaboration of political leaders, stakeholders, and donors in achieving the MDGs.
I wish to commend the nine Provincial Governments that prepared their reports – the Agusan
del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Biliran, Camarines Norte, Eastern Samar, Marinduque, Romblon, Sa-
rangani, and Siquijor Province – the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) Network and
the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) for working together in bringing about
this important accomplishment.
With this initiative, it is hoped that other provinces will follow suit to attain nationwide support
for the need to accelerate the pace of the achievement of the MDGs by 2015.

Republic of the Philippines
PROVINCE OF SARANGANI
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
The Province of Sarangani is quite young compared to the other prov-
inces. However, this fact has not deterred the officials and employees of
the Provincial Government in vigorously pursuing its mission and vision.
The Province ranked 4th and 11th among the poorest provinces in the
country based on Small Area Estimates of the National Statistical Coordi-
nation Board with poverty incidence of 63% and 52% in 2003 and 2006,
respectively. However, we cannot identify who they are, where they are and what necessary
interventions they need.
With the implementation of Community-Based Monitoring System in the province, the ex-
tent of poverty and its characteristics – face, nature and cause of poverty are identified from
Municipal, Barangay to household level. CBMS is a tool to assess the progress towards the
achievement of Millennium Development Goals. With this MDG report, the current status,
policies, programs and interventions for the 8 goals, 18 targets, and 48 indicators are being
assessed.
The delivery of basic government services to the people of Sarangani is in the forefront of the
local development agenda of the present administration. The efforts of the Provincial Govern-
ment are all geared towards the reduction of poverty and upliftment of the living conditions
of all Sarangans.
A lot of challenges were in the way in the implementation of the different programs/proj-
ects of the province. Nevertheless, these programs/projects were implemented to ensure the
delivery of appropriate services and interventions to address the need of our constituents. As
contained in this MDG report, the Provincial Government has implemented programs and
projects in line with its thrust of Unity, Progress and Good Governance and to help achieve
the goals and targets in the MDG.

7. With our aim for an improved governance system, greater transparency and accountability
in resource allocation, the MDG Report provides the situation of the province and the policies/
programs/projects as well as the recommendations to improve and address the challenges
identified under each goal.
We have seen the need for the local government units to take initiatives and pursue dynamic
programs to uplift the living condition of its constituents. With our local initiative to focus all our
efforts, programs and interventions towards addressing poverty situation in the province, and
with full support and commitment of the Provincial leadership, employees and its constituents,
we can reduce poverty in the province!
The people of Sarangani will see more dynamic projects for their own good in the near
future. In fact, the present leadership is committed in developing every sector of the province
and to take out the province from among the top 20 most impoverished province in the country
by year 2010.
With this in mind, we will be able to utilize all our resources right, with the right target and
appropriate interventions with sustainability as a common ground.
I would like to personally give my sincere gratitude to the people who in one way or another
have contributed their efforts for the preparation of the Provincial Millennium Development
Goals Report. This shows that as a team, we could do everything right.
Mabuhay ang Sarangani!

42. Ratio of Girls to Boys in Secondary
Education
CBMS data shows that there
are more girls than boys in sec-
ondary education throughout the
province having a ratio of 1.2 or
12 girls for every 10 boys. Higher
disproportion is noticeable in
rural areas, particularly in Glan,
Kiamba, Maasim, and Malapatan
with the 1.2 ratio. The biggest dif-
ference is recorded in the urban
area of Malapatan at 1.3. The
inequality is attributed to the fact
that girls are more enduring than
boys in terms of schooling, and
that boys of this age are likely to
help in the livelihood activities of
their parents whose occupation
are mostly farming and fishing.

Ratio of Girls to Boys in Tertiary Education
Girls outnumbered boys in tertiary
education by a higher margin. The ratio
is 1.3 or 13 girls for every 10 boys. This
disparity is felt largely in the rural areas
of the province.
Among the municipalities, the highest
difference is registered in Maasim at 1.5
or 15 girls for every 10 boys, while the
lowest is recorded in Malapatan at 1.1
(11 girls for every 10 boys).
Though higher inequality is noticeable
in almost all rural areas of the component
municipalities, Maasim however, shows
a different picture. Its urban area has the
biggest discrepancy at 1.7 (17 girls for ev-
ery 10 boys), the highest across all levels
(primary, secondary and tertiary). One
possible reason for this disparity is that ma-
jority of the people living in the urban area
are fishermen. In this type of occupation,
boys are preferred because of the strenu-
ous character of the job, thereby hindering
them from pursuing tertiary education.
