About the NSO
The National Statistics Office (NSO), as the primary statistical
agency of the government, is mandated to provide timely and
accurate statistics through the use of scientific methods in
the conduct of censuses and surveys and the processing of

 This year, we celebrate the 71st Anniversary
of NSO, which coincidentally marks another
decade of my government service as NSO
Administrator and Civil Registrar General.

MESSAGE
from the More significantly, I am proud that we have
made progress in delivering statistical and
ADMINISTRATOR civil registration products and services in
accordance with our mandate.

As the exclusive general purpose statistical

agency and civil registration authority of the
government, we have accomplished tasks
as designated and even beyond.

In statistical services, NSO did not only

engage in regular, designated census and
survey operations, but has also collaborated
with external institutions in the conduct of
various ad-hoc projects. One of these was
the Registry System for Basic Sectors in
Agriculture (RSBSA) which is among the
core projects of the Cabinet Cluster on Good
Governance and Anti-Corruption. The
RSBSA, whose primary objective is to create
a registry or database of those engaged in
the basic sectors of agriculture, particularly
farmers and fisherfolks, was piloted in 20
provinces.

In civil registration services, NSO launched

the Free Birth Registration Project for the
potential beneficiaries of the Pantawid
Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). The
Project aimed towards providing free birth
registration services in support to the poverty
reduction program of the government through
the 4Ps which provides social assistance
to poor households.

4 2011 NSO Annual Report

The NSO also conducted the sub-national level assessment of the vital statistics system. It has facilitated also the conduct of
a series of International Classification of Disease (ICD-10) coding modules’ training for medical officers, medical records staff,
civil registrars and NSO personnel. The objectives of these endeavors are geared towards improvement in the quality of vital
statistics, particularly on the derived mortality statistics which is among the core indicators of the Millennium Development
Goals (MDG).

Our continued success over these seven decades exhibits the strength of our vision and mission as an organization. Above all,
it reflects the strength of our people, values and culture. These have been cultivated and nurtured vigorously through the years
in tracking up good governance, in the service of statistics and civil registration that constitute most of the government’s official
statistics.

As we strive for excellence in everything that we do in bringing statistical and civil registration products and services to the
public, NSO officials and employees alike, have brought our core values and culture to life.

I attribute the progress that NSO has achieved to the hard work and dedication of all the NSO employees and thus I express
my heartfelt gratitude to all of them who through the years have remained steadfast and committed in providing quality service
to the people.

Here at NSO, the recognition we put to our human resources strengthens our commitment to continue delivering government
service that exemplifies integrity, transparency and accountability that is worthy of public trust.

The NSO, as a symbol of these values, is determined to continue working to realize its core values and goals.

I am certain that as long as we continue to live out these values, we will continue thriving and succeed over the next decade.

I am delighted by how far we have realized our vision and looking forward, I am excited about the opportunities and challenges
ahead in carrying out our mission.

Employment and Unemployment Statistics
The Labor Force Survey (LFS), which is conducted quarterly,
is designed to provide estimates on the levels and rates of
employment, unemployment and underemployment at the
national and regional levels. Estimates of the rates and trends
are published for January, April, July and October.

Price Statistics
Monthly Inflation Reports for the period December 2010 –
November 2011 were published by the NSO to provide the
general public with monthly price movements of commodities
and services at the national and regional levels. Also,
Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Indices (CPIs) were
generated and published monthly to provide comparison on
the regular CPI series after the seasonal variations that may
affect the series were removed.
The CPI is widely used in the calculation of the inflation rate
and purchasing power of the peso (PPP). Inflation rate
measures the changes in the CPI. On the other hand, PPP
gives an indication of how much the Philippine peso is worth in
a given period relative to its value in a base period.
An annual inflation report for 2010 was released on April 29,
2011 (The Consumer Price Index in the Philippines – 2010
Report), and The Consumer Price Index for Bottom 30% Income
Households in the Philippines: January 2010 –December 2010
was also released on May 19.
Moreover, from June to December 2011, the NSO released
two sets of CPIs, the 2000-based series and the 2006-based
series. A technical report about the 2006-based CPI was posted
on the web on October 4. The report not only presented the
results of the rebased CPI series in comparison with the old
series, but also discussed the different steps in rebasing the
CPI.
To provide inputs to the monthly generation of the CPI and
inflation rate, the NSO generated average monthly retail prices
from the following price surveys conducted in 2011:

For the 2011 MISSI index series with base year of 2000, the
weights of the major sectors and sub-sectors were computed
from the results of the 2000 CPBI for manufacturing
establishments with average total employment of 20 and over.
The weights are computed from the value of products sold
plus change in inventories.
A total of 192 statistical tables were generated for the year
and 12 press releases for the period November 2010 to October
2011 were posted on the web. Likewise, the 2009-2010 MISSI
Annual Publication was also published in 2011.
Quarterly Survey of Philippine Business and Industry
(QSPBI)
The QSPBI is an activity of the NSO that seeks to provide
quarterly data on gross revenue/sale, employment and
compensation. Results of the QSPBI were used as inputs in
the estimation of Quarterly National Accounts, updating of
estimates for the Gross Value Added and generation of Quarterly
Economic Indicators. The Survey covers all establishments
with total employment of 20 and over except those in
agriculture, forestry and fishery.

Rebasing of MISSI series from 2000 to 2006 is on-going. The
industry coverage will be revised to strictly conform with the
amended 1994 PSIC groupings. There will be a parallel series
of 2006-based with the 2000-based series for at least 6 months
in 2012.
The NSO generated 2,132 quarterly statistical tables and had
submitted to the National Statistical Coordination Board the
posting sheets for the fourth quarter of 2010 QSPBI up to the
second quarter of 2011 QSPBI.

and Survey on Information and Communication
Technology (SICT)
In April, the NSO undertook the field operations for the 2010
ASPBI, simultaneously with its rider survey, the 2010 SICT.
The ASPBI aims to provide key measures on the performance,
levels, structure and trends of economic activities in the entire
country. A total of 30,228 questionnaires were distributed to
sample establishments to collect data on employment,
compensation, revenues, cost, subsidy, assets and
inventories. The SICT, on the other hand, aims to collect and
generate information on the availability, distribution and access
or utilization of ICT among establishments in the country. A
total of 8,787 questionnaires were distributed to sample
establishments to provide data on the number of computers,
communication equipment, computer network, connections,
e-commerce activities, utilization and method of disposal of
ICT products, and employment in the sector.
As of December, a total of 29,275 and 8,058 questionnaires were
collected from the 2010 ASPBI
and 2010 SICT, respectively.
This year, the preliminary results of the 2009 ASPBI were
released through 1,008 statistical tables and 15 special releases,
while the 2009 SICT generated a total of 486 statistical tables.
The National Data Dissemination Seminar for these Surveys
was held on October 25 in Quezon City. Presented were the
economy-wide results for large establishments, or those with
total employment of 20 and over by major industry division and
by region based on the preliminary results of the 2009 ASPBI.

2. Registry System for Basic Sectors in Agriculture
(RSBSA). As part of the key programs for the Digitization
Sub-cluster of the Good Governance and Anti-Corruption
Cluster chaired by President Benigno Simeon Aquino III,
the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) as the
lead agency and various agencies worked together to come
up with a computerized database system for the RSBSA.
The RSBSA is an electronic compilation of basic
information on farmers, farm laborers and fishermen, the
target beneficiaries of agriculture-related programs and
services. The NSO is providing technical assistance to
the DBM in ensuring the smooth conduct of training and
data processing. A series of trainings was conducted in
selected 20 pilot provinces in December.
3. 2011 Consumer Expectations Survey (CES). This is a
household based quarterly survey of the Bangko Sentral
ng Pilipinas (BSP) that focuses on the consumers’

assessment of their financial situation, the economic
condition of the country and the overall performance of the
government. The NSO was commissioned by the BSP to
do data collection. This is a complementary survey to the
BSP’s Business Expectations Survey.
4. 2011 BSP Public Perception Survey (PPS). This is a
survey which intends to improve the quality of BSP services
and further strengthen its relationship with the Filipino
public. This is the third in a series of surveys; the first
survey was conducted in July 2008 while the second survey
was done in December 2009. The field operation for this
year’s round of PPS was carried out in November.
5. Household Survey on Domestic Visitors (HSDV). The
survey was undertaken in order to gather data on household
information on domestic tourism that are vital to the effective
and efficient development and implementation of tourism
plans. Unlike in previous surveys, the 2010 HSDV covered
not only domestic travels but also included international
travels. This Survey is a joint undertaking by the Department
of Tourism and NSO.
The following are the results from the 2009 and 2010 HSDV
which were released in 2011:
1.More than half of the domestic travelers travel for pleasure
or vacation (Results of the 2010 HSDV)
2.About 23 million Filipinos travel within the country
(Results from 2009 HSDV)
6. 2011 Family Health Survey (FHS). The survey designed
to provide information on maternal and child health, family
planning, and other health-related concerns which shall
assist policy makers and program managers in evaluating
and designing strategies for improving health, nutrition,
and family planning services in the country. The funding
assistance came mainly from the United States Agency
for International Development. The World Bank, through
the Women’s Health and Safe Motherhood Project 2 of
the Department of Health, on the other hand, provided the
funds for the Maternal Mortality Module of the Survey.
Series of FHS pretests was held on March 24 (Sta. Mesa,
Manila), April 7-8 (Lipa City, Batangas) and May 3
(Sampaloc, Manila). Also, trainings were conducted from
May to June while the field operation was done in August.

7. Survey on Children (SOC). This is a nationwide survey
on children 5 to 17 years old that mainly aims to monitor
the existence of child labor because comprehensive and
up-to-date statistical data are needed for the periodic
production and assessment of reliable database on children
and to disseminate child labor data nationwide through
the publication of a national report, and through the conduct
of a series of national and regional briefings. The field
operations was done in October as a rider survey for
October LFS.
8. 2011 Survey on Unfair Trade Practices for Business.
The survey provides feedback to the private sectors on
unfair trade practices in the country. The survey, conducted
in collaboration with Philippine Institute for Development
Studies, aims to collect information on the perception of
different stakeholders toward unfair trade practices in the
country. The data generated will provide information for
the improvement of relevant legal and institutional
frameworks in the country.
Distribution of questionnaires to 40 sample establishments
started in November. In December, 24 questionnaires
(60%) were already collected.
9. 2010 Pilot Survey of Enterprises in the Philippines
(PSEP). This is a World Bank funded project which aims
to complement and improve the collection of operational
statistics collected at the establishment level in the ASPBI.
The objectives of the survey are:
• collect new sets of data (profits, capital investments)
for the Philippine System of National Accounts (PSNA);
and
• improve estimation of corporate-level statistics such as
investment, profit for institutional sector accounts, all in
support of improving the PSNA.
Before the conduct of the survey, the NSO delineated 141
establishments sourced from the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s (SEC) Top 25,000 Corporations. The Office
also coordinated with Bureau of Internal Revenue on
additional data needed for this Survey.
Distribution of questionnaires to 150 samples in NCR
started in November. At the end of the year, around 61
questionnaires or 41 percent were already collected.

as NSO Regional/Provincial officials, are required to conduct
a free birth registration project intended for the beneficiaries of
the 4Ps in their respective localities. One of the primary
requirements for enrollment in the 4Ps is the submission of
NSO issued copies of birth certificates in SECPA or duly
authenticated birth certificates from the potential or eligible
beneficiaries - the Indigenous Peoples (IPs), indigent families
and other beneficiaries from the marginalized sectors. The NSO

CESPES Training
Third level executives from the Central
and Field Offices attended the
workshop on the Career Executive
Service Performance Evaluation
System (CESPES) in Mandaluyong
City on March 4.
The workshop, which highlighted the
history of CESPES including related
issuances and its coverage and
Performance Contracting, sought to
raise the awareness of the NSO
officials with the concepts, tools and
implementation guidelines of the
System pursuant to Career Executive
Service Board Circular No. 01, s. 2011
which mandates the completion and
submission of CESPES ratings for
2010.
Based on the lectures, officials whose
performance shall be evaluated under
the CESPES are those that are
incumbents of CES positions for an
uninterrupted period of at least three (3)
months; Division Chiefs who are Career
Executive Service eligibles, Career Service
Executive eligibles and Career Executive
Officer eligibles and designated in an
Acting or Officer-in-Charge capacity.
CESPES components measuring
performance and behavioral competence
of the executive being rated, as well as
the qualified raters under CESPES policies
were also explained.
The second part of the workshop focused
on the preparation of the Performance
Contract (PC) which is a meaningful tool
that measures and assesses the Ratee’s
performance on the basis of work target
commitments established and actually
accomplished and completed by the ratee.
The lectures also touched on Performance
Milestones which are specific, tangible and
measurable planned outputs. In
formulating milestones, it was suggested
that the following steps be taken: (1) Define
Outcome Area; (2) Identify Output or
Outcome; (3) Agree on the Performance
Standard. Weight allocation which is in the
second column of the form indicates the
percentage value given to a specific
milestone. It is set and agreed upon by
the rater and the ratee. The sum of weight
allocations must be total to 100%.
Accomplishment or the actual output
achieved by the ratee and the status or
descriptive evaluation of the Performance
Milestones must also be reflected in the
PC. In giving the raw score, the rater must
follow the scale of 1-7 which is indicated
in the upper right hand corner of the form.
The product of the weight allocation and
raw score must be computed to get the
weighted score.
After the discussion, the participants
drafted sample Performance Milestones
which were presented to the group for
critiquing by the CESB representatives and
Administrator Carmelita N. Ericta.
