the regional, provincial, sectoral and project levels; and the integration and strengthening of the planning and administrative machinery. 95. The Philippine experience demonstrated that the use of social indicators for planning and policy formulation had been hampered by the inadequacy of data to measure social indicators which showed the relationship between and among variables and measured the impact of programmes and projects not only on economic goals but also on social goals. Further, there existed the problem of quantification of social goals. While soc;ial change in terms of reception to new ideas and innova­ tions, including changed perception, was as much a desired goal as economic growth, no concrete measure of social change as a goal and as a process was available. None the less, social change was implicit in the provision and expansion of education, culture and technology. 96. While several studies have been made exploring the relationships betwetn economic and social variables in the Philippines, the unavail- 23 ability of data to verify those relationships hindered their utilization in plan strategy for mutation and adoption of policy mix. 97. It was observed that traditional economic goals were more or less adequately served by the existing monitoring system. Most of the social goals, however, e.g. promotion of social development and social justice, were not being effectively measured. In many cases, the inadequacy of the existing monitoring system was due to the lack of relevant indi­ cators and an integrating framework. In some cases where appropriate indicators were available, they were not sufficiently disaggregated to allow measurement of the differential impact of aggregate government development efforts across regions and population groups. In other cases, the existing data did not permit the continued monitoring of social change. 98. It was also noted that while the project planning capabilities 
**Analysis**
The text discusses the challenges of using social indicators for planning and policy formulation in the Philippines, highlighting the inadequacy of data to measure social indicators and the lack of concrete measures of social change. It also mentions the need for integrating frameworks and relevant indicators to effectively measure social goals.
