LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY SITUATION REPORT

1ST SEMESTER 2020

Livestock and poultry inventory in the Province of Siquijor

posted positive growths in 1st Semester of 2020. Inventory

in the livestock sector went up by 6.50 percent while

inventory in the poultry sector grew by 8.70 percent in

2020.

Among the livestock and poultry products that recorded a

significant increase in heads were native chickens, swine,

goat, cattle, and carabao. Native chicken, as major

contributor of poultry inventory, had increased by 9.42

percent. Likewise, swine, with the biggest share in livestock

inventory, recorded 7.56 percent increase in 2020

Having a good ID system is necessary for achieving

sustainable development. Providing a legal identity for all

is one of the objectives under Sustainable Development

Goals (SDG No. 16), which is to “promote peaceful and

inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide

access to justice for all and build effective, accountable,

and inclusive institutions at all levels.”

Hence, the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) was

established. The identification called PhilID is a non-

transferrable foundational identity card that shall be

issued to citizens and resident aliens living in the

Philippines.

To jump start this operation, the Philippine Statistics

Authority-Siquijor Provincial Statistical Office is

incessantly coordinating with the local government units

of the Province of Siquijor in preparation for PhilSys,

which is set to start in 2021.
