That maybe a good research but as usual we filipinos are very good in theory and research but we are very poor in implementation..

It's a 13 point checklist used by most government organization in determining what service to provide. Another determinant is if the family is spending less than $1 a day for basic needs. But ultimately what they want to know is the "quality of life". Measuring poverty is based on an MBN or Minimum Basic Needs.

For Abra, we know that the violent political families and warlords have something to do with their stagnation, but with Apayao? I always saw it as very blessed with water and natural resources. What's the reason? I’m not updated with Apayao since the partition with Kalinga, so why ngata this high poverty level.
