Chapter 1
OVERVIEW OF GENERAL SANTOS CITY
1.1 History
General Santos City was formerly called as Buayan District and became a municipality of South
Cotabato by virtue of Republic Act No. 82 in January 1948. Its history begun on February 27,
1939 when the first Christian settlers led by General Paulino Santos landed on the shores of
Sarangani Bay together with 62 first batchers.
Economic growth in the area has been apparent with the establishment of the basic institutions
and infrastructures and the construction of roads and the establishment of multi-million companies
such as Standard Fruits Company (STAFILCO and Coca-Cola Bottling Company and the
establishment of first radio station in 1964. The municipality was classified then as a fourth class
municipality. House Bill 5862 was filed converting General Santos Municipality into a city and
renaming it to Rajah Buayan City. However, the Bill was rejected. It was only in 1968 that the
municipality turned into a city through the passage of Republic Act 5412. More schools were put
up in this time including the establishment of government hospital, public market, major streets
and highways and the building of bridges and the construction of the new city hall. Undeniably,
with this development, the city became a first class city since 1975 based on its income.

The above table shows that 90.10 percent are registered, while 4.20 percent are not registered
with the Office of the Local Civil Registrars and reported to have 0.40 percent who did not know
about their birth registration.
At the barangay level, highest registration of birth is noted for barangays Ligaya and Katangawan
both with 94.70 percent, San Isidro (94.20%) and Baluan (94.10%). Meanwhile, barangays
Siguel (48.0%), San Jose (49.30%), Tambler (61.50%) and Batomelong (63.20%) noted to have
the least registration counts.
Average Parity of Ever-Married Women aged 45 to 49 was also considered as a fertility measure.
This refers to the number of children ever-born by a woman in her entire life.
Table 2.11 presents statistics on the average parity of ever-married women aged 45 to 49 years
old. The data makes use of the 2000 Census of Population and Housing results, which asked the
respondents if any living children had been born by women aged 45 to 49 years in the households
or the total number of children ever born by women in their entire life. Women aged 45-49 years
of age considered to have reached or are reaching menopausal stage and no longer pregnant.
Therefore, their number of children born is found substantial and their parity is a measure of
completed fertility.

2.7 Children for every married woman aged 15 to 49

A woman aged between 15-49 years of age considered to be in the childbearing age had born an
average of 2.7 children. Of all women aged 15-19, more than half (51.97%) of this population had
no children while 36.15 percent had only 1 child. It can be noted that a lot of women (16%) in
their mid 20's (25-29 years old) had born an average of two children. And upon reaching
menopausal stage (45-49 years old), more women had born between 3 to 5 children in their entire
lives.
Average Parity is 4.8
In 2000, out of the 70,001 ever-married women in General Santos City (Table 2.10), 10.6 percent
were women aged 45 to 49 years old. Of this age group, women had born an average of 4.22
children. This means that when a woman reaches at the age between 45-49 years, an average of
4.22 children will be born in her entire life.

The table above shows the number of live births in General Santos City from 2004 to 2007 by
sex. It indicates that generally more males are born than females as illustrated in Figure 2.C.
This implies that there are still more males than females in the city or the sex ratio at birth is high.
In 2004, for every 100 females who were born, 109 males were also born. In 2005, there were
110 males for every 100 females born. In 2006, there was a decrease in the sex ratio to 108
males per 100 females born in the city and still the same in 2007 (108).
Marriage
Marriage is one indicator of population boom. The occurrences of marriages result to high
incidence of birth occurrences or high fertility rate. Table 2.12 below shows the number of evermarried women 15 to 49 years old by age at first marriage. In 2000, of the total 70,001 evermarried women, 11.35 percent of them married at the age of 20 years old. While 10.64 percent
got married at the age of 18 and 9.07 percent got married at the age of 19.
21 years old- age at first marriage
Meanwhile, the age at first marriage of ever-married women aged 15-19 was 17, while those aged
20-24 years old got married at the age of 19. Those at the mid 20's and late 20's got married at

Death occurrence in General Santos City had a sluggish increase from 2004-2007. With 2,451 in
2004, it increased to 2,455 (0.16%) in 2005. In 2006, 5.73 percent has added to the death counts
and only 0.30 percent in 2007.
29
Apparently, Figure 2.D reveals that there was generally higher death incidence of males than
females from 2004 to 2007. The proportion of male death incidence slightly rose from 61.51% in
2004 to 62.91 after a year and 63.40 percent in 2006. However, it went down by 2.41 percentage
points in 2007 and eventually rose females' proportion by 2.41 percentage points in 2007 from
36.60 percent in 2006.

Migration
Migration is the third demographic processes, which also affects population change. The source
of migration data is the Census of Population which asked individuals of their residence five years
ago prior to the conduct of the census.
Table 2.15 presents migration data from the 2000 census of population results. The table shows
the proportion of residents/inhabitants who, five years before the census had resided elsewhere in
the country. Likewise, people who had changed their residence within the same municipality or
those who had only change their barangay residence are not included. These are called shortdistance movers, and their moves are only local movements.
Migration questions are asked to persons five years of age and older because younger persons
had not been born five years before the census. Likewise, not included in the group of those who
actually had in-migrated within the intercensal periods but since then they are died out or outmigrated again.
The consequence of the exclusions cited is that the number of migrants both in intra and interprovincial shown in table 2.11 is understated. However, the figures then permit the data user to
get an idea as to whether in-migration was substantial and to determine whether in-migration
increased or decreased. It also permits the user to decide which type of migration had been
prevailing, that within the province or that from the outside and determine those municipalities that
had been most attractive to in-migrants.

Persons aged 70-74 years old accounted for only 0.62 percent with 52.84 percent females and
47.16 percent males.
The above table indicates that females tend to have greater proportion than males as their age
advances, possibly because the life expectancy of females is higher than males. Only 0.35
percent belonged to age group 75-79 years old.

Expectedly, the proportion of persons aged 80 and over is lowered to 0.33 percent. Females
shared 59.35 percent while males only 40.65 percent with a sex ratio of 68.
The age-sex population pyramid can also be used as a tool in evaluating the age-sex composition
of the population. Figure 2.F shows the population pyramid of General Santos City based on 2000
census. The pyramids indicate, by sex and proportion of the population of each five-year age
group to the total population.
The 2000 population age-sex pyramid of General Santos City followed the normal pattern with
broad base at the bottom and narrower at the top. The age group four years and below had the
largest population (13.1%), followed by the age group 5 to 9 years old(12.5%). This implies that
population decreases as age increases.

4.5 Consumer Price Index
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is an important indicator of the economy. It is used to compare
price movements in the different areas of the country. It also measures the value of a peso
relative to a base year period. It also determines inflation rate.
The citys annual Consumer Price Indices (CPI) from 2001 to 2007 posted to have the lowest
indices compared to the regional and national level. The annual average inflation indicates that
the general price level of commodities accelerates at a slower rate compared to regional and
national level.
Higher inflation started to occur in 2004 and 2005, which lowers the value of a peso from P0.92 to
P0.87 in 2004 to P0.82 in 2005. Price increases continue and eventually devalued the peso to
P0.78 in 2006 and P0.76 in 2007.
