Household Survey Results
The mean monthly household expenditure is, Php 6,209.75. These include expenditures on food, electricity, water, education, transportation, medicines, clothing, telephone, cellphone load, internet, cable, and land/house/room rental. It is important to note that not all households spend for items. Some may be relying on others to provide for their food, or may be tapping on other sources for water and electricity.
Among the expenditure items, water is the most bought by households with 97% of the households spending for it. This is closely followed by food, and then by electricity. The item that households spend for the least is clothing, followed by medicines. It is worth noting that only 33 households stated that they spend for education. This may be attributed to free public-school education, state-sponsored 4Ps program, or the covid-19 pandemic. Out of the total households that claim to be renting the house/room that they are occupying, only 93% are paying for it.
