Maternal mortality rate is one of the indicators included for the monitoring the achievements of millennium development goals (MDGs). Data necessary for computing this rate which can be obtained in the registered vital documents are considered inaccurate because of incomplete registration. Maternal mortality data from survey is far short from the real because of the rarity of this event. Even the methodology, the sisterhood method, utilized in computing maternal mortality rate from demographic surveys is only an indirect demographic technique. This portion of the survey questionnaire costs the government more than a hundred thousand pesos. In this regard, this paper aims to give estimates of maternal mortality in the Philippines for the year 2000. The author will use the life table estimates for the year 2000 utilizing the 2000 census data on age-sex distribution of the population and the adjusted registered death statistics by age and sex. With the use of the life table estimates, level of mortality can be derived. The derived level of mortality will be compared to the model life tables by Coale and Demeny (West) or the Un-Latin American. These model life tables give expected levels of different mortality rates like MMR and IMR. The estimates IMRs from NDHS can serve as guide if the MMR estimate is plausible. Interpolation will also be applied, if necessary.
