Vital events refer to the births, marriages, deaths, fetal deaths, and all such events that have something to do with an individual's entrance and departure from life together with the changes in civil status that may have occurred to a person during his lifetime. Vital Statistics are derived from information obtained at the time when the occurences of vital events and their characteristics are inscribed in the civil register. Vital acts and events are recorded in the civil register at the Local Civil Registry Office (LCRO) and in foreign Philippine embassies. These administrative documents underwent processing, controlling, compilation and analysis. Statistics presented however, were not adjusted for under registration. The data and statistics presented will be of assistance to planners, policy makers, program managers and researchers in monitoring, evaluating and developing demographic and socio-economic programmes.
Each vital events is registered in the office of the Local Civil Registrar (LCR) of the place where the event occurred and a copy of the entries made in the preceding month iis sent to the office of the Civil Registrar-General within the first ten days of each month for filing and compilation purposes.
The basis of the registration of vital events in the Philippines is Act No. 3753, otherwise known as the Civil Registry Law of 1930 that mandates that all vital events that marked the entry and departure of a person in his lifetime and the changes in his/her civil status shall be registered. The registration method is defined as the continuous, permanent and compulsory recording of the occurrences and characteristics of vital events, primarily for their value as legal documents and secondly for their usefulness as a source of statistics.
- Under Commonwealth Act (CA) No. 591, the Bureau of Census and Statistics (BCS) that was created on 19 August 1940
- Presidential Decree No. 418 was issued on 20 March 1974 reconstituted the BCS into a new agency known as the National Census and Statistics Office (NCSO) under the administrative
supervisionof the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA)
- In 1987, by virtue of Executive Order No.121 entitled "Reorganizing and Strengthening the Philippine Statistics System and for Other Purposes," the NCSO as renamed National Statistics
Office (NSO) was placed under the Office of the President.
- Executive Order No. 149 dated 28 December 1993 was issued by the Office of the President entitled "Streamlining of the Office of the President." By virtue of this order, the NSO was
placed under the administrative supervision of the NEDA for effective policy and program coordination and integration.
- However, the reorganization of the Philippine Statistical System has put the NSO as one of the offices that composed the newly established Philippine Statistics Authority under Philippine
Statistical Act of 2013 (Republic Act No.10625) on 12 September 2013.
Under RA 10625, the National Statistician, being the head of the Philippine Statistics Authority is also the Civil Registrar General (CRG) who provides overall directions in the implementation of the Civil Registry Law and related issuances, and exercises technical supervision over the Local Civil Registrars. The CRG, in this regard, is empowered to issue implementing rules and regulations on civil registration and to prepare for and order the printing of necessary forms for proper compliance.
The Civil Registration Service maintains an Archive of registered vital documents on the civil status of persons. The repository of all civil registry documents is the source of all certifications issued to the public for legal and other purposes.
Vital registration is a continuous process. Hence, there is a need to establish certain cut-off period. The data presented are vital events that occurred from 2011 to 2012 but received from the LCR from January 2011 to March 2013. Events occurring in 2012 but were registered beyond March 2013 were no longer included in the generation of 2012 VSR. However, an addendum to this report has included those beyond the cut off dates of events from 2011 up to 2012 which included events that have been registered late.
The Vital Statistics Report 2011-2012 provides information on the number and percent distribution of births, marriages and deaths recorded, the place and month of occurence, crude rates, daily average and daily indices of birth, marriages and deaths. The report also includes other information on birth such as age of mother, birth order and attendant at birth; on marriage such as age distribution and nationality of brides and grooms and type of ceremony; on death such as infant and maternal deaths.
Scope and Coverage
This VSR includes data compiled from the reports submitted to and received by the National Statistics Office (NSO) for the period 2011-2012 on registered births, marriages and deaths from all City and Municipal Registrars of the country, from Philippine Courts which included the Shari'ah Circuit Courts on decided court cases involving civil registration and from the Department of Foreign Affairs on all registered vital events with Philippine foreign embassies involving Filipino nationals living abroad.
The rationale in the publication of the VSR involving past data series is an attempt to fast track the updating of the vital statistics data to more current levels to provide important information in the civil status of persons as well as the generation of demographic and health indicators that may help in the assessment of health/social services enjoyed by the population. The new data series will also provide national and local executives on the level of registration of vital events at the city/municipality level as a means of monitoring the implementation of the civil registration system.
Each vital events is registered in the office of the Local Civil Registrar (LCR) of the place where the event occurred and a copy of the entries made in the preceding month iis sent to the office of the Civil Registrar-General within the first ten days of each month for filing and compilation purposes.
