Introduction

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Board approved for adoption the CoRe-Is through Resolution No. 10, series of 2017. The CoRe-Is is a set of 98 economic, social and multidomain indicators that aims to:

  • Monitor the social, economic, political, cultural and environmental developments at the regional level;
  • Aid the government in understanding the needs of ocal communities; and
  • Enable both the national and local governments make right policies, decisions and actions for development planning and policy formulation.

These indicators would be produced, compiled, and disseminated taking into account comparability of indicators across regions.
