"The 2006 Demographic Health Survey reflects that under-5 Mortality (per 1,000 <5) for boys is 70 and for girls is 85. The 2011 Population and Housing Census have revealed a decline in national infant mortality rate at 17 deaths per 1,000 live births. This is a drop from the 56 deaths per 1,000 live births recorded in 2001. Male infants are more likely to die under the age of one (1) (18 deaths per 1,000 live births), compared to female infants whose incidences were recorded at 17 deaths per 1,000 live births" (31).

"The economists found that while officials report roughly 740 deaths on average every year due to typhoon exposure in the Philippines, post-typhoon mortality among baby girls is approximately 15 times higher than that, likely due to the indirect poverty-worsening effects of the storm. Because the Philippines is so hard hit by typhoons every year, the authors estimate that these delayed infant deaths account for approximately 13 percent of the country’s overall infant mortality rate" (para 3). "The risk of a baby girl dying after a typhoon doubles if she has older sisters in the home, and the risk doubles again if the she has older brothers – suggesting that the...more
