This is for the little geek in you crying out for facts and statistics. The data is from the 2003 Benguet Socio-Economic Profile which we downloaded from the Benguet provincial website. The files appear to have been removed from said site so email us if you want a copy [in PDF].
Please note that these figures may have changed since four years have passed after the Profile was written. But then again, considering the slow pace of change in the Philippines, maybe these figures have remained basically the same.
