Greetings!
I wish to inquire if there is an updated measures of land area of ARMM provinces: Basilan, Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi. The last I can find is in 2015. See Link:
http://rssoarmm.psa.gov.ph/release/54734/factsheet/armm-population-density-%28based-on-popcen-2015%29
Are this 2015 land area measure still accurate?
I serve as a statistician for the non-profit International Alert Philippines, a peacebuilding organization focused on addressing conflict through research and analyses.

My question is if some territorial jurisdiction changed as in some towns were moved as part of another province administratively, which may change the land area of a province?

Dear Angelo Casalan,
Greetings!
Thank you for your request dated Apr 25, 2019 04:15:12 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
Your Request
You asked for Timeliness of data on ARMM provinces land area in square kilometer.
Response to Request
The land area which is available through 2015 POPCEN is the latest figure the PSA has. Please be informed that conduct of census is every 10 years with mid-decade in between, hence the next conduct of census will be 2020.
Further, we encourage you to reach out to Land Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) who is responsible for administering, surveying, managing and disposing Alienable and Disposable (A&D) lands and other government lands not placed under the jurisdiction of other government agencies. You may visit LMB's website at lmb.gov.ph.
Thank you very much.
Respectfully
