whether at home, school or work in a given time period. However, instead of
type of skill, it is recommended to disaggregate this indicator by level of skill
with Level 0 being the lowest (cannot do any of the computer-related
activities) to Level 3 (can do any of 7 to 9 of the activities).
Goal 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and
sanitation for all
6.1.1 Proportion of population using safely-managed drinking water. In the
Philippines, it is recommended to use family as the unit of measure so that the
indicator shall be defined as the percentage of families using safely managed
drinking water sourced from piped water into dwelling, yard/plot, neighbor,
public tap/stand pipe; tubed well/borehole; protected dug well; protected
spring; rainwater; water refilling station and packaged water. Excluded from
the category of sources of safely-managed drinking water are unprotected
well, unprotected spring, lake/river, tanker-truck, cart with small tank, and
surface water. Annual data can be obtained from the Family Income and
Expenditure Survey (FIES) conducted every three years and the Annual Poverty
and Income Survey (APIS) conducted during the years when there is no FIES.
6.2.1 Proportion of population using safely-managed sanitation facility,
including a hand-washing facility. It is also recommended to use family as the
unit of measure for this indicator so that it shall be defined as the percentage
of families using safely managed toilet facility, that is, the toilet facility
classified as any of the following types: flush/pour flush to piped water system,
septic tank, pit latrine; ventilated improved pit; pit latrine with slab; and
composting toilet. Excluded from this type are open pit latrine, and others that
are not considered as safely managed. The data can be sourced from surveys
conducted by PSA, FIES and APIS.
Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable
industrialization and foster innovation
9.c.1 Proportion of population covered by mobile network, by technology.
There are three (3) proxy indicators recommended to represent this global
indicator: (1) proportion of cell sites of all Cellular Mobile Telephone System
(CMTS) network operators, broken down by all available technologies (2G, 3G,
4G, LTE); (2) CMTS density or the proportion of CMTS subscribers to 100
population, by technology; and (3) proportion of cities and municipalities with
coverage of CMTS facilities, by technology, regardless of whether or not all
areas are within the rage of a mobile cellular signal. Regular data collection for
these proposed proxy indicators is yet to be established by the Department of
Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the National
Telecommunications Commission (NTC).
