ANCIANO, PATRICIA 'VIVIEN J. Socio-economic Performance of the City of Bacoor, Dasmarhias, and Imus, Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Economics. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite_ October 2014_ Adviser: Normida M. Hernandez. The study was conducted to determine the socio-economic performance of the cities of Bacoor, Dasmarinas, and Imus. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the: 1) demographic and physical profile of Bacoor, Dasmarinas, and Imus; 2) economic performance of Bacoor, Dasmaririas, and Imus; 3) budget allocated for social services of Bacoor, Dasmarinas, and Imus ; and 4) ratios of government social infrastructure and social services to population of Bacoor, Dasmarifias, and Imus. Secondary data were gathered from provincial offices as well as local government offices of Bacoor, Dasmaririas, and Imus. Descriptive design was used to analyze the socio-economic performance of the local government units of Bacoor, Dasmarinas, and Imus from year 2000 to 2013. The results of the study and the comparison of performances of selected cities using ratio as an indicator were presented and compared through tables. Arithmetic progression method was used to estimate the population in the three cities. The result shows that Dasmaririas had the lowest average population growth rate of 4.04 percent. Based on the data collected, Dasmarinas was also considered to be the most populated city among the three cities from year 2000 to 2013 with an average population of 516,928 individuals; followed by Bacoor with an average growth rate of 5.12 percent and an average population of 455,861 individuals; and Imus with an average growth rate of 4.20 percent and an average population of 269,781 individuals. The populations on the three cities were estimated based on the actual population of 2000 and 2010 using arithmetic progression method. All the three cities experienced improvements in economic performance particularly in revenues earned. Most lands in the three cities were devoted for residential purposes. In terms of employment, Imus was able to maintain its good employment status of 76.56 percent to 80.61 percent employment rate from year 2007 until 2010 along with their growing industry. Generally, the budgets in the cities were mainly expended for general services. On the average, only 28.15 percent out of the total budget of Bacoor were allocated for social services, while Imus allocated 9.97 percent. In terms of educational infrastructure and services, all the three cities failed to meet the standard ratio of classroom to student (less than 1:46) and ratio of teacher to student (1:35 to 1:40) stated in RA 7305, except in school year 2006-2007 where lmus obtained 1:44 ratio of elementary classroom to student. The results show that the three cities had more elementary schools than secondary schools. In terms of health infrastructure and services, the three cities failed to provide the population a better access to health infrastructure for the ratios gained were beyond the standard. All the cities failed to meet the standard ratio of health personnel to population particularly the ratio of doctor to population (with a standard ratio of 1:20,000) and midwife to population (with a standard ratio of 1:5,000). However, the cities of Bacoor and Imus were able to meet the standard ratio of dentist to population (1:50,000) and nurse to population (1:20,000) only from year 2001 to 2007. In terms of protective services, from 2000 to 2013, Bacoor, Dasmaritias, and Imus failed to meet the 1:1,000 standard ratio of policeman to population and 1:2,000 standard ratio of fireman to population. Compared to the ratios of fireman to population of the three cities which got worse through the years, policeman to population ratios in the three cities show improvements each year but were still beyond the standard. In general, results of the study show that Bacoor, Dasmarthas, and Imus are having difficulties in coping up with their growing population, particularly in providing the population the appropriate number of basic social infrastructures and services.
