ano mga 112 million ano for for for this

year So

um medyo bumagal nga po yung ating ano

yung population growth rate Pero po yung

um absolute number medyo significant pa

rin ano yung in-in niya kasi nga po

Medyo malaki na yung population base so

that means talagang ah kahit 1% increase

ah pa yan medyo ah substantial pa din

ang in-in crease natin by numbers yun

isa nga yun Sana sa ah sunod kong tanong

sa inyo ito po bang ah pagtaas ng bilang

mabilis po ba ito yung facing niya o

lagay um Nakikita na po natin ung

pagbagal po ng ating population through

the years Actually um nasa nung 2015 to

2020 ah naitala lang po ng 1.6% annually

ang kanyang population growth rate mhm

Actually mas bumagal po siya noong

panahon ng ng pandemic because of the Oo

excess deaths at saka yyung um lesser

fertility o Iyung live Birds no

pinanganak so medyo yung estimate ng ano

um bumagal lang yung nadagdag sa atin

since ah 2020 but Uh still ano um

tinitignan natin siya ah dahil nga may

pandemic factor by next year kasi 2025

pandemic so the first ever no n sensus

after the pandemic so we know kung ano

yung impact talaga ng pandemic diyan sa

population growth rate natin All right

ah sa data po ba ninyong hawak sa ngayon

sir ah Mayon ba kayong bilang halim nung

ah sa isang pamilya Ilan na yung

pinakamarami na napoproduce na anak kasi

nung mga dating panahon natin umaabot

ang isang pamilya yung mag-asawa

Mayon pa bang ganon sir ngayon o isang

anak na lang Opo Ah yung base po doon sa

ating 2022 national demographic and

Health survey Meron po tayong tinatawag

na total fertility rate Oo po yung

bilang ng anak na maaaring Ipinanganak

po ipanganak po ng isang kababaihan na

tinatawag natin nasa child bearing years

or 15 to 49 Okay so yun po kasi

international definition ng child

n sumusulong ng ng kaunlaran ang ano

lang po nagiging issue lang po kasi ang

population kung um ang quality no yung

kalidad ng ating populasyon ay um hindi

siya sumusuporta ano sa sa kaunlaran no

Like for example dahil sa

UM sobra yung bilang ng anak sa kayang

kakayahan ng isang pamilya na mabigyan

siya ng sapat na ano um investment sa

pag-aaral sa kalusugan at sa kanyang mga

basic needs doon nagkakaroon ng problema

mga urban areas no Kasi talagang Uh we

have the phenomenon of rapid

urbanization and um minsan Um yung pag

pasok ano ng mga tao yung urbanization

po pala natin By the way ay um Ano po

siya no ang kanyang main cause is

internal migration no ibig sabihin

talagang yung pagpasok no ng tao at

Syempre ung yung ano na din ano yung

fertility sa isang lugar at kapag Hindi

po na-set up yung tamang mekanismo sa

pag-manage ng influx ng ng migrants Ah

talagang Ano po no nagkakaroon tayo ng

mga negative effects ano of unmanaged

urban urbanization no At lalo na sa

kapag ang ang nangyayari po diyan is

unregulated encroachment tapos hindi

maganda po yung pagplaplano ano sa mga

lands natin ah Hindi ah nakikita po yung

um paano i-manage dapat yung yung

population lalo na doon sa kanilang mga

human settlements at at Syempre yung

impact niya doon sa mga Services na

kailangan hindi napag handaan so Diyan

po nangyayari Ano na medyo nagkakaroon

po tayo ng mga urban yung mga perenal

urban problems po natin such as

congestion flooding crowding even even

kung mga ano ngayon nangyayari ngayon na

mga environmental issues such as onong

flooding no medyo mm Ano po talaga and

mairekomenda o Pwede kayang gawin ng

pamahalaan at Syempre sa tulong na rin

ng publiko dapat para maibsan Yung

ganitong lumalalang epekto sa kalikasan

nung tumataas na bilang ng populasyon

natin Opo um ang unang-unang ano po

namin um sine-set up po natin is para

masolusyunan ang isang problema dapat

meron kang datos na malaman mo kung kung

ilan ang mga population mo ah doon sa

isang sa isang area ah at ilan ang

pumapasok Ilan ang lumalabas kaya po ang

kami nag susulong po kami ng Ah yung

tinatawag nating registry of barangay

inhabit migrant Oo po yung mekanismo na

nagrerehistro po yung mga pumapasok no

sa isang Barangay ah sa o sa sa Barangay

government ano para and providing po to

ng household no para malaman natin Ilan

na in real time more or less kung ilan

na po yung pumapasok so that kapag

nagplano po yung barangay sa kanyang

kasi required naman po sila na magsagawa

ng mga

um ano ano e mga plano para sa halimbawa

land use Ah yung paggamit po ng land

tapos pag ano po an yung mga climate

change adaptation plan ah in fact ang

dami pong mga plano no na dapat nilang

i-setup para masiguro po yung yung

pagunlad at ah sa amin

um ang mahalaga is Kapag tayo

nagsasagawa ng mga programa kasi dapat

nakase yan sa pangangailangan sa actual

na sitwasyon ng mga tao

so dapat yung ano ung namamahala alam

niya kung ilan ang tao sino-sino ung mga

tao niyan na like yyung characteristics

of the population mga bata pa yan

matanda pa yan at adult pa yyan kasi

Magkakaiba po yung kanilang mga

pangangailangan eh so Oo So yung

matalinong pagpaplano matalinong pag Ah

Ah gagawa ng mga programa para maging

responsive siya sa pangangailangan ng

tao yan po yung aming isinusulong no

para maging mas conscious lang no

conscious yung kasi hindi rin Nam namin

mandato talaga yung mag-implement ng mga

programa so kumbaga Parang ang mandato

lang namin is ah

um ah Palakasin lang yung kakayahan ng

mga institusyon relevant institution na

may siguro na magkaroon ng tinatawag

naming people centered development no So

yung

nakukunan talaga ng ng tao hindi po yung

tipong ah gawa ng gawa ng mga proyekto

na pagdating ng panahon ay hindi pala

kailangan ng tao yun o par h oo hindi
