The Peace and Equity Foundation (PEF) has objectives to popularize the use of development and poverty indicators with simple color-coded charts and maps based on statistical data for easy reference and understanding. The simple color-coded ranking is meant to help development institutions and individuals appreciate patterns of statistical observations on development and poverty situations in the country. Hopefully, the map may also help in targeting priority areas and sectors for development work at the municipal level. The purpose of the ranking is to get to the bottom, or worse-off, 20 percent (approximate) municipalities in terms of each indicator.
