Population
Density and Growth
The
region’s total population is placed at 2,738,329 as of 2000 Census
of Population or an increase of 10.64 percent (264,313) compared
to census of 1995. In 2003, with the inclusion of Lanao
del Norte and Iligan City, the region's population is estimated
to be at 3,505,708. Region 10 ranks 12th among the regions

The rest of the provinces and cities registered only at
percent growth annually.
The
population of the provinces accounted for 79 percent of the population
while that of the cities constituted 21 percent.
Bukidnon is the most populous province, constituting 30.24%
(1,060,265) of the total population followed by Misamis Oriental
18.95% (664,338); Misamis Occidental 13.88% (486,723); Lanao del
Norte 13.49% (473,062) and Camiguin, the smallest province with
2.11% (74,232).

1995 and 194 persons per square kilometer in 2000 an increased
by 9.03% over period of five (5) years.
Being
the region’s capital city, Cagayan de Oro registered the most
number of persons per square kilometer at 1,118.89. This could be attributed to the fast growth of Region 10 as
an industrial center and the development of the Cagayan-Iligan
Corridor (CIC) areas.

Migration
and Urbanization
The
region grew by an average of only 1.99 percent over the last five
(5) years. There are areas in the region which experienced
rapid growth, and these are the major urban centers.
The lack of livelihood opportunities in the rural areas,
coupled by the pockets of disturbances, pushed the population
towards the city center thereby putting more pressure into already
congested centers of development.
Urban
growth in the region is concentrated along the northwestern coast,
with the two most populous urban centers of Cagayan de Oro and
Iligan forming a potential metropolitan growth area.
The two cities, which are classified as highly urbanized
comprised about 56% of the total population of the eight cities
in 2000.
Along the same major highway linking Iligan and Cagayan
de Oro, and towards eastern portion of the region is the steadily
growing Gingoog City, also considered a primary urban center.
Towards the south in the mountain province of Bukidnon
are two fast growing
cities of Valencia and Malaybalay. (NEDA Regional Physical

Poverty
incidence was estimated at 39% as of 2000, a slight improvement
from the 43% in 1997. Among
the provinces, Camiguin had the highest incidence at 56% followed
by Lanao del Norte
with 55%. Poverty
is more prevalent in the rural areas with around 74% of the 253,782
total poor families classified as living below the poverty line.
Except
for Misamis Oriental, the provinces in Region 10 have poverty
incidences that are higher than the national figure of 34%.
Camiguin, for instance, is number 9 of
the 10 poorest
provinces in the Philippines in the year 2000.
Health
A.
Births
Based
on the 2003 data, there were 79,125 registered births with Crude Birth
Rate (CBR) of 21.05 per 1,000 populations. A decrease
of 4.75 percent was noted compared to 2002, which was 22.10 per
1,000 populations. Among the provinces, Bukidnon, Lanao
del Norte and Camiguin posted the highest Crude Birth Rate of
22.90, 20.88 and 19.32 respectively. A decrease of
12.89 percent for Misamis Oriental for the period of one year
was also noted.
Among
the cities, Valencia has the highest CBR of 35.79 percent followed
by Cagayan de Oro 23.82%. Likewise a slight decrease was
noted in the cities of Gingoog 3.60%, Malaybalay 3.62%, and Tangub
5.02%. However, Ozamiz City revealed a significant decrease
of 41.17percent from 23.34 percent in 2002 to 13.73 percent in
2003.
Of
the registered births, 73.5% (58,159) were delivered at homes;
23.23% (18,382) at government and private health clinics; 1.13%
(897) at other places. Out of the 78,825 registered births,
90.07% (70,997) were attended by trained health personnel including
trained hilots, while 2.41% (1,900) were attended by untrained
hilots and others.
Of
the total livebirths, 52.5% (41,547) were males and 47.1% (37,278)
were females. This shows that there were more males born
in 2003 than females. With regards to weight at births 51,717
(63.36%) were born with a weight of more than 2,500 grams, 18,054
(22.82%) were less than 2,500 grams , while 419 (0.53%) were registered
under unknown.
The
decrease in Crude Birth Rate (CBR) is an indication that family
planning program was fully supported by the Local Government Units
(LGUs), the technical and financial assistance provided by Center
for Health Development - Northern Mindanao (CHD-NM), as well as
the joint efforts of other GOs and NGOs and also the contribution
of foreign donors such as USAID-LPP, Asian Development Bank (ADB),
Institute of Reproductive Health (IRH), Axis to Voluntary Surgical
Contraception (AVSC). The contimuous quality training of
service providers and program coordinators, intensified IEC at
all levels and the increased awareness of mothers on the FP program
in a reproductive health approach also contributed to the reduction
of Crude Birth Rate (CBR) in the region.
B.
Deaths
A
total of 13,564 deaths were registered in 2003 representing a
Crude Death Rate (CDR) of 3.61 per 1,000 populations. A
slight decrease of 11.74 percent was noted for a period of one
year from 4.09 percent in 2002 to 3.61 percent in 2003.
Among
the provinces, Camiguin has the highest CDR of 5.53% followed
by Misamis occidental (4.05%), Misamis Oriental (3.00%), Bukidnon
(2.75%) and Lanao del Norte (1.86%)
Among
the cities, Oroquieta has the highest of 7.11% followed by Ozamiz
(6.97%) and Cagayan de Oro (6.57%). Iligan has the lowest
CDR with only 2.07 percent.
Of
the 13,564 deaths, 5.27 percent (715) were infant deaths, of which
1.07% (145) were caused by Pneumonia, Prematurity 0.64% (87) and
congenital Anomalies 0.44% (60).
A
reduction in the Crude Death Rate (CDR) in the provinces and cities
was noted compared to 2002, except Bukidnon which shows an increased
of 3.77 percent and three (3) cities, Cagayan de Oro (14.06%),
Malaybalay (13.09%) and Valencia (3.70%).
C.
Infant Deaths
There
were 715 registered infant deaths in 2003 representing an Infant
Mortality Rate (IMR) of 9.04 per 1,000 livebirths. Camiguin
posted the highest IMR of 20.56, higher than the regional average
of 9.04 per 1,000 livebirths. This is attributed to teenage
pregnancies and unwed mothers in the locality.
Among
the cities, Ozamiz registered the highest IMR of 18.61 per 1,000
livebirths, followed by Gingoog (17.26), Cagayan de Oro (16.91),
Iligan (13.24), Tangub (12.41) and Oroquieta (9.74).
Malaybalay and Valencia have an IMR below regional average of
7.95% and 1.90%, respectively. A decrease of 14.56 percent
was noted on the IMR of 2003 (9.04%) compared to 2002, with 10.58per
1,000 livebirths.
The
continuous capability building of service providers, increase
awareness of mothers on child care, especially on the integrated
management of childhood illness, the promotion and advocacy/IEC
on the maternal and child care as well as the joint effort of
the LGUs, CDH-NM and donor agencies such as the Management Sciences
for Health (MSH), UNICEF, USAID-LPP and the improvement of two
way referral system among RHUs/BHs and hospitals, contributed
so much on the reduction of the Infant Mortaltiy Rate (IMR) in
the region.
D.
Maternal Deaths
The
total registered Maternal Deaths in 2003 were 58 with Maternal
Mortality Rate (MMR) of 0.73 per 1,000 livebirths. A significant
increase of 5.79 percent was noted for a period of one (1) year
from 0.69% in 2002 to 0.73% in 2003. Bukidnon registered
the highest Maternal Death (20) with an MMR of 1.10 per 1,000
livebirths followed by Lanao del Norte 0.48 and Misamis
Oriental 0.40. The rest of the provinces have zero maternal
deaths.
Among
the cities, Cagayan de Oro has the highest Maternal Mortality
Rate of 1.37% (16) followed by Malaybalay 1.81 (5), Gingoog 1.23
(3), Tangub 0.89 (1) and Valencia 0.52 (3). Three (3) cities,
registered zero (0) MMR, namely: Iligan, Oroquieta and Ozamiz.

F.
Mortality and Its Leading Causes
The
shift from communicable to degenerative disease as the leading
cause of deaths for the past 5 years was noted compared to the
last ten (10) years wherein most of the causes of deaths were
communicable in nature. Of the leading causes of mortality
in 2003, only two (2) were caused by communicable diseases namely:
Pneumonia and tuberculosis, while the rest are non-communicable
in nature.
Pneumonia
and diseases of the circulatory system presented a marked decrease
of 9.64% and 0.57% compared to 2002 but for the past 5 years,
pneumonia has increased by 1.10%.
Other
causes of mortality such as accidents/violence, kidney diseases
and septicemia exhibited a significant increase of 3.83%, 73.97%
and 13.59% compared to 2002.
Likewise, compared to the 5-year average, six (6) of the
leading causes of mortality exhibited also an increasing trend
namely: pneumonia (1.10%), malignancy (6.17%), kidney (9.69%),
septicemia (1.41%), diabetes mellitus (13.18%) and peptic ulcer
(1.75%). However,
malignancy, tuberculosis, septicemia, peptic ulcer and malnutrition
showed a decreasing trend of 21.17%, 22.50%; 2.69%; 3.67% and
