from 5.02 million on the 2015 census to 5.03 million. (SS)
 The region’s settlements are situated on narrow coastal lowlands and are economically close to larger markets in Manila with access via
Central Luzon.
 Conversion of productive farmlands into non-agricultural purposes.
 Poor marketability of the region’s agrifishery products.
 Lack of advocacy by the government in terms of access to finance and insurance.
  Lack of tourism support facilities
 Malnutrition rate (0-60 months old): 29% stunting; 20% Underweight; 10% wasting.
 Food insecurity in household is 55%.
 Mortality rate of 5.9 per 1,000 population.
 The region’s population density was 388 persons per square kilometer which is higher than the 337 population density of the
Philippines.
 Total Fertility Rate has increased from 3.4% to 3.8%.


Opportunities :
 Region 1 can be reached by land, air and water. It is accessible through its four provinces from Cagayan (Region 2), Nueva Vizcaya
(Region 2), Benguet (CAR), Abra (CAR), Zambales (Region 3), Nueva Ecija (Region 3), and Tarlac (Region 3) by any mode of land
transportation.
 It has one main airport, i.e. the Laoag International Airport (LAO) in Laoag City, Ilocos Norte that is serving the northern Luzon area with
one domestic flight daily to Manila and vice versa.
 It has a direct access to international sea lanes as it is bound to the west by South China Sea (West Philippine Sea).
 local festivals and events with national importance will form part of the tourism promotion package of the region to attract more
tourists, both domestic and foreign, in the region.
 Health Facilities: 1,159 Barangay health stations; 150 rural health units; 97 hospitals (government/private).
 Tourist spots
 3 major ports are available in the region


Treats :
 The protection and maintenance of natural parks and protected landscapes in the region is one primary concern due to the increasing
population and activities in communities adjoining the protected areas.
 Another concern is the prevention of settlements from encroaching in areas which are susceptible to geologic and hydrometeorologic
hazard.
  The value of agriculture and fishery production losses and damages in the region due to weather and climate-related disasters was
pegged at an annual average of P1,868.98 million from 2011-2015.
 In Region 1, the seemingly rampant conversion of productive farmlands into non-agricultural purposes remains a primary concern in the
AFF sector. urge farm owners to convert their lands for industrial or commercial purposes which could be more profitable on their part.
As a result, the sustainability of the region’s food sufficiency may be compromised.


Kailangan ng region :
 Provision of higher incentives to students who take up agri-related courses. In order to encourage younger generation to pursue careers
in agriculture and related discipline, incentives will be provided to students who take up agri-related courses. Agriculture will be
promoted as a viable and versatile career option and not just about tilling the soil.2
increasing awareness of students on the importance of agriculture in Philippine society will increase the number of students who are
interested in agricultural courses.
 In addition, post-harvest facilities such as ice plants and cold storages, municipal fish ports, community fish landing centers (CFLCs),
warehouses, factory buildings and other structures will be established to generate employment, increase productivity and marketability,
and improve the quality standards of agrifishery products in the region. Post-harvest facilities and other post-harvest-related
infrastructure are recognized as critical investments to reduce post-harvest losses, extend the shelf-life and maintain the quality of agri-
fishery products.4
 In Region 1, there is a need to improve tourism support facilities which include information centers, local tourism establishments, and
sightseeing transport modes given the expected role of tourism in regional economic development.
 There is a need to improve the quality of basic education in line with the K to 12 Program.
 For seaport development, the seaports in the region were not fully utilized for passenger movement despite their potential as an
alternative mode of transport
