Key Finding

Magdalena shows the highest average yearly population growth rate at +9.58%, based on the available population records.

Explanation of Growth Trend
Young Population Structure
Higher birth rates due to lower median age contribute to sustained natural population increase.
Sustained Growth Trend
Continuous increase based on census data reflects a long-term upward demographic trajectory.
Resource Availability & Settlement Expansion
Access to water and land in the Santa Cruz watershed supports population growth, leading to expansion of settlements and built-up areas.
Increasing Human Activities & Environmental Interaction
Rising population leads to increased land use, water consumption, and environmental changes, reflecting strong interaction between people and natural resources.

Conclusion

The rapid population increase in Magdalena is driven by a combination of demographic factors and environmental-resource dynamics. The availability of water and land supports continuous settlement expansion, while increasing human activities further accelerate growth.

However, this growth also places pressure on natural resources, particularly water systems and land use. As population increases, environmental impacts such as changes in land cover and water quality become more evident. Therefore, sustainable resource management is essential to balance population growth with environmental protection.

Data Notes & Limitations
  • Figures are annual beneficiary counts (month IS NULL). Stored 0, NULL, and missing annual records are shown as N/A because they mean data have not yet been entered. They are not treated as verified zero beneficiaries.
  • Monthly program rows are not added to annual municipality totals. Soft-deleted records are excluded.
  • No budget, unit cost, eligibility, need or outcome data are used, so the counts describe recorded reach only and do not measure program effectiveness.
  • The records do not state whether a person who receives more than one program is counted once or once per program, so the total across programs may not equal the number of unique persons.
  • Liliw: N/A for AICS in 2023; the total covers known programs only and does not represent every program.
  • Liliw: no census population for 2023, so beneficiaries as a share of population is not calculated. Census records exist for: 2015, 2020, 2024.
  • Magdalena: N/A for 4Ps, AICS in 2023; the total covers known programs only and does not represent every program.
  • Magdalena: no census population for 2023, so beneficiaries as a share of population is not calculated. Census records exist for: 2015, 2020, 2024.
  • Majayjay: N/A for 4Ps, AICS in 2023; the total covers known programs only and does not represent every program.
  • Majayjay: no census population for 2023, so beneficiaries as a share of population is not calculated. Census records exist for: 2015, 2020, 2024.
  • Years without usable annual counts appear as N/A. Yearly totals may cover different municipalities and program types, so compare years with care. A change from N/A to a positive count is not a confirmed increase.
  • Comparative ranking covers Liliw, Magdalena, and Majayjay only.
AHP-Weighted Comparative Ranking
AHP: Computed

AHP-weighted comparative score based on beneficiary counts

The score is an AHP-weighted comparative score based on beneficiary counts using approved AHP criteria weights. It does not measure poverty severity, program effectiveness, or unmet need.

Rank Municipality Score
1 Majayjay 80.58
2 Magdalena 63.39
3 Liliw 18.16
Approved criteria weights
  • Senior Citizen Pension: raw 0.3737, effective 0.373737
  • PWD Assistance: raw 0.3271, effective 0.327133
  • Solo Parent: raw 0.2991, effective 0.299130
AHP calculation details
Methodology
  1. The overall ranking uses approved AHP criteria weights from pairwise comparisons of 10 respondents. Weights are not recalculated from beneficiary counts.
  2. Approved raw weights: Senior Citizen Pension raw 0.3737, effective 0.373737; PWD Assistance raw 0.3271, effective 0.327133; Solo Parent raw 0.2991, effective 0.29913. Each raw weight is divided by the total (0.9999) so effective weights sum to 1.0.
  3. AICS and other programs may appear in descriptive tables when annual data exist, but they are excluded from the three-criterion AHP score.
  4. Only annual municipality-level records are used (month IS NULL, not soft-deleted). Monthly slices are never added to annual totals.
  5. A stored beneficiary_count of 0, NULL, or a missing annual record is N/A (data not yet entered) and is never treated as zero beneficiaries.
  6. N(i,j) = (X(i,j) - min(X(j))) / (max(X(j)) - min(X(j))) across Liliw, Magdalena, and Majayjay. Score(i) = Σ effectiveWeight(j) × N(i,j), displayed on a 0–100 scale.
  7. If all three valid values for a criterion are equal, each municipality receives a normalized value of 1 for that criterion so no municipality gains an artificial advantage.
  8. Duplicate active annual rows for the same municipality, year, and program are not summed. The row with the highest id is used.
  9. A complete overall ranking requires a valid annual count greater than zero for Senior Citizen Pension, PWD Assistance, and Solo Parent in every municipality. Missing values are not replaced with zero and weights are not renormalized over a subset of criteria.
