SINGLE females aged 30 to 39 have a good chance of finding their “Romeos” in Region 4-B (Mimaropa), according to figures released by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB).
BOAC, Marinduque, Feb. 10 (PIA) -- The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) -- Marinduque, through the Technology Application and Promotion Institute (TAPI), has awarded the funding for the proposed “Dried Seaweeds Production and Seaweeds Noodles Making Project” to student-beneficiaries of Marinduque State College (MSC).
 
Data from the NSCB—an attached agency of the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda)—showed that Mimaropa (Mindoro-Marinduque-Romblon-Palawan) has the most number of 30- to 39-year-old single males per hundred 30- to 39-year-old single females.
TAPI, one of DOST's service agencies, administers the Invention Development Assistance Fund for the initial experiments and prototype development and other invention-development related activities.
 
The NSCB said 30 to 39 single females can also look for mates in the same age bracket in Region 2 (Cagayan Valley) and Region 5 (Bicol region).
The four student-beneficiaries from the Schools of Industrial Technology, Marinduque State College received P38,600 for the project, which will start this month. The funding for the project was endorsed by the college president, Dr. Romulo H. Malvar to DOST.
 
“For single males aged 30 to 39 who are looking for a younger partner aged 20 to 29, do not bother to go to Region 4-B as you are least likely to find her there. There are only 12 single females for every 100 single males aged 10 and above [in the region],” said the NSCB.
MSC’s coordinator for the project, Vangie Mandia, said the project was conceived in order to put to full potential the rich supply of seaweeds in different parts of Marinduque. The primary source of seaweeds in the province is Guisian, Mogpog, but other resource areas are Poctoy, Torrijos and Sta. Cruz.
 
For single females up to 29 years of age, the NSCB said they have better chances of finding males from their age bracket in the Cordillera Autonomous Region.
Seaweed production is being considered by the local government of Marinduque as another source of income for the community, especially as alternative resources for fishermen, to discourage them to use dynamites that damage the natural aquatic resources. (LBR/MNL/PIA4B)
 
Males who are in the 40- to 49-year-old bracket can start looking for females of their same age bracket at the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
 
Males aged 50 to 59 who are looking for single females of the same age may begin their search at the National Capital Region, the NSCB said.
 
NSCB said it prepared its figures using statistics from the 2007 Census of Population released by the National Statistics Office (NSO).
