How to read the Philippines evidence
The cited table explicitly excludes BARMM, and the page preserves that scope rather than implying complete national coverage.
Current DepEd dashboards and machine-ready files are listed as ongoing data sources, but the headline counts remain tied to the verified 2024/25 table.
