Message
It was indeed another remarkable year for the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB). Despite financial and human resource constraints, we once again managed to undertake several statistical activities and produced a good number of relevant statistical outputs in our capacity as the highest policy making and coordinating body on statistical matters in the country.
As we reached our 23rd year of dedicated and professional public service, we succeeded in leveling up our performance towards sound statistical policy formulation, effective statistical coordination, efficient production of timely economic and social indicators and strategic information dissemination management. We take pride in having sustained our efforts to be a world class statistical agency by embarking new strategies and taking bold steps in our desire to meet the ever increasing challenges that we face not only in the Philippine Statistical System (PSS) but also in the international statistical community. Among our noteworthy undertakings for the year were those geared towards the improvement of the quality of the Philippine System of National Accounts (PSNA) like the adoption of the recommendations of the 1993 and 2008 versions of the System of National Accounts. During the year, under a World Bank project, the NSCB embarked on the overall revision and rebasing of the PSNA to a more updated base year (from 1985 to 2000). The initial annual estimates covering this period were presented in a consultative forum in December 2009 which was attended by various stakeholders. For the first time, press conferences on the performance of the regional economy were conducted in the nine regions where the NSCB has established a Regional Division. The NSCB RD heads reported on the 2008 Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of their respective regions. The NSCB has also responded to the concern to address the statistical requirements of the global crisis through the creation of the Task Force on Flash Indicators to Measure the Impact of Global Crisis in the Philippines (TFFI). To further serve the needs of development planners for the generation of lower level and sectoral poverty statistics, the NSCB compiled and released the 2006 poverty statistics for eight basic sectors. Through this initiative by the NSCB, poverty alleviation programs and projects could be better targeted and government efforts could be more focused. In our desire to give importance to and strengthen our collaboration with our stakeholders, we conducted consultative and dissemination fora on national accounts and poverty and children statistics, among others. We also conducted a forum on statistical capacity building with our development partners to advocate the outputs of the PSS and its resource requirements to our users/stakeholders. Adhering to good practices in the global statistical community, we took a step forward in communicating statistics through data visualization using motion charts that provide a multidimensional graphical presentation of indicators. Among the indicators applied with data visualizations were MDGs, poverty statistics and flash indicators. In addition to our regular products and services such as the National Accounts of the Philippines, Foreign Direct Investments, Leading Economic Indicators, Quarterly Economic Indices, Statistical Indicators for Philippine Development, and coordination of various interagency and technical committees, technical working groups and task forces among others, the landmark activities undertaken by the NSCB in 2009 signified our total commitment to deliver high quality service to our stakeholders. Together with the unwavering support of our partners and stakeholders, we will continue to strive for excellence as we dedicate ourselves to public service and national development. Armed with the spirit of unity and camaraderie, we say thank you for the trust and confidence in the NSCB during the past years, which we hope to maintain in the years to come.

Summary of Accomplishments for 2009
he year 2009 once again highlighted the dynamic and important role of the National Statistical Coordina tion Board (NSCB) as the highest policymaking and coordinating body on statistical matters in the country, despite its financial and human resource constraints. Under the general thrust of strengthening and enhancing the internal and external coordination at the sectoral, national and subnational levels for the year, the NSCB remarkably accomplished its target goals, specifically in the delivery of statistical services to its stakeholders and in the promotion and maintenance of an efficient statistical system. Below are some of the major outputs of the NSCB for the year.

II. STATISTICAL FRAMEWORKS AND INDICATOR SYSTEMS

The generation of indicators and statistics from the frameworks being developed and maintained by the NSCB is based on sound statistical methodologies and undergoes periodic evaluation and improvement. They are classified into the following: 1) the Philippine System of National Accounts (PSNA) and related accounts; 2) poverty statistics; and 3) other sectoral statistics and indicators. Most of the PSNArelated accounts and sectoral indicators and statistics have been institutionalized at the NSCB while the others are in various stages of development. Among those already institutionalized are the InputOutput Accounts (IO tables), Environment and Natural Resources Accounting (ENRA), Philippine National Health Accounts (PNHA), Poverty Statistics, Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Indicators, Statistical Indicators for Philippine Development (StatDev), Human Development Index (HDI), Food Balance Sheet (FBS), Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), Leading Economic Indicators (LEI), Quarterly Economic Indices (QEI) and Compendium for Philippine Environment Statistics (CPES).

Recognizing the need to address the issues being raised on the official poverty estimation methodology, the Technical Committee on Poverty Statistics (TC PovStat) started an overall review of the official poverty estimation methodology. To facilitate its assessment, the TC Povstat created four Small Working Groups (SWGs) within the Committee that will focus on the various components of the methodology and use the outputs of the "Comprehensive Documentation of the Official Poverty Estimation Methodology" project as the major reference in the review. The said project was undertaken by the NSCB and the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) with funding assistance from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). The SWGs are expected to thoroughly study the issues on the component of the methodology assigned to them and present their findings/recommendations to the TC PovStat. These will then serve as the basis of the Committee in finalizing its recommendation of the official poverty estimation methodology.
In its unwavering efforts to improve the quality of the PSNA, the NSCB has implemented various initiatives since 1997 towards the adoption of the recommenda tions of the 1993 and 2008 versions of the System of National Accounts. In 2009, under a World Bank project, the NSCB embarked on the overall revision and rebasing of the PSNA to a more updated base year (from 1985 to 2000). The initial annual estimates covering this period were presented in a consultative fora held on December 18, 2009 at the Hotel Intercontinental in Makati City which was attended by various stakeholders who raised important suggestions for consideration.

III. STATISTICAL INFORMATION RESOURCES AND MANAGEMENT

The management and use of information systems play a key role in the efficient practice of propagating the use of statistics available in the PSS. Over the years, the NSCB continued to innovate and make even better the efficient practice of propagating the use of statistics and organizing them into statistical products and ser vices to reach more deeply its various stakeholders. In 2009, the NSCB has been steadfast in making statistical information more accessible to data users thru the National Statistical Information Center (NSIC) in Makati City and in nine regional branches located in San Fernando City in La Union, Baguio City, Legazpi City, Iloilo City, Tacloban City, Zamboanga City, Davao City, Cagayan de Oro City and Cotabato City and in three provincial branches in Guimaras, Negros Occidental and Antique. A new provincial branch of NSIC was launched in December 2009 in the province of Capiz. As a public service arm and a onestop center for statistical information not only of the NSCB but of the whole PSS, the NSIC provides statistical service thru frontline, bookshoppe, library, and technical services. During the year, the NSIC in the NSCB Central Office in Makati City served more than 1,697 walkin clients and generated a total revenue of P1.129 million from sales of statistical publications in print and CDROMs, data downloads, photocopying of library data/materials and payment for technical services, which were remitted to the Bureau of Treasury. As part of its library exchange program, the NSIC received 501 publications from government, private and international organizations and provided 5,910 complimentary copies of NSCB publications to its various recipients.
On online dissemination, the NSCB website (http:// www.nscb.gov.ph), continued to be more user friendly, comprehensively filled and continuously updated with press releases, free time series data, latest updates on key economic and social indicators and news on statistical developments in the PSS. During the year, it has recorded 8,653,866 page views from 667,869 unique visitors. As part of its online service, the NSCB responded to 2,794 data inquiries made thru the NSCB website. In 2009, the NSCB Central Office released and dissemi nated two FactSheets, 43 press releases, 17 web announcements, 12 articles on Statistically Speaking, and 43 issues of eNewsletters to 5,251 subscribers of which 603 were new subscribers for the year.

IV. STATISTICAL ACTIVITIES IN THE REGIONS

In 2009, the nine NSCB Regional Divisions (RDs) in Regions I, V, VI, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII and CAR have effectively made relevant improvements and institutionalized statistical development towards the operation and application of statistics in their areas of responsibility, providing efficient statistical service to its various stakeholders. The NSCB RDs provided technical and secretariat support to the Regional Statistical Coordination Committees (RSCCs) and the various Technical Committees/Interagency Committees/Technical Working Groups/Task Forces in the discussion of issues and programs related to local statistics at the sub national level. Their accomplishments for the year included issuance of 35 resolutions which were dis cussed and approved by their respective RSCCs during their 25 meetings held quarterly. Their task included monitoring the adoption and implementation of the said resolutions. They were also involved in the preparation and implementation of the 2009 Policy Agenda, the Agency Statistical Calendars and in the advocacy of the Statistical Survey Review and Clearance System (SSRCS) in their respective regions. On statistical frameworks and indicator systems, the NSCB RDs compiled, released and disseminated the 20062008 Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), and provided inputs to the Gross Regional Domestic Expenditure (GRDE) estimates in collaboration with the Economic Statistics Office (ESO) of the NSCB in the Central Office. For the first time, the results of the GRDP were disseminated during simultaneous press conferences in the nine regions where an NSCB RD is present.
Other outputs of the NSCB RDs included: preparation and updating of poverty maps for the provinces of Kibungan, Kapangan (Benguet), Natonin (Mt. Province), Kalinga, Ilocos Sur, Camarines Sur, Iloilo, Leyte, Zamboanga Subugay, Davao Del Norte and South Cotabato; production and dissemination of statistical publications such as the Regional Statistical Economic Trends (RSET) and Countryside in Figures (for the provinces of Kalinga, Pangasinan, Camarines Sur, Capiz, Samar, Zamboanga Sibugay, Davao del Sur, and South Cotabato). The NSCB RDs continued to produce and disseminate Regional MDG Watch, seven municipal/city profile, 69 issues of regional and provincial Statwatch, 11 issues of City Statwatch, 36 Fact Sheets, 117 press releases and 65 web articles. In Region VI, the Capiz satellite provincial branch of the National Statistical Information Center (NSIC) was established in December 3, 2010, bringing the total number of provincial NSICs to four all in Region VI. Through the nine NSIC regional branches and the four satellite provincial branches, a total of 13,388 clients were served and around 1,456 publications, statistical reports, and information, education and communica tion materials were acquired to augment their library holdings. On the 20th NSM Regional Celebration, various statistical activities were conducted in all regions outside the NCR. These ranged from a simple activity, such as hanging of streamer or display of NSM posters to a more innovative and impressive statistical activities, such as holding of a statistical congress, statistical forum and lecture series, motorcade, statistical exhibits, workshops, and radio/ TV interviews/guestings. These were all geared to raise statistical awareness and appreciation focusing on the theme of the event. The successful celebration of the 20th NSM in the regions was spearheaded by the NSCB RDs in Regions I, V, VI, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII and CAR in collaboration with the regional offices of NEDA, NSO, OCD, DND, BSP and other regional line agencies and local government units.
V. ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The NSCB is short of the workforce needed to respond to the evergrowing needs and demands of its stake holders. In 2007, the agency was operating with only 66.5 percent of its authorized manpower of 224 positions and the figure continued to dwindle to only 57.1 percent in 2009. The significant decline was brought about by the resignation and transfer of staff to other offices, international organizations, etc. The remaining 96 vacant positions could not be easily filled due to the prohibitions stipulated in Executive Order No. 366. As of 2009, the NSCB has two thirdlevel career executive service officers and one career executive service eligible, namely: 1. Dr. Romulo A. Virola CESO I 2. Ms. Lina V. Castro CESO IV 3. Mr. Raymundo J. Talento CESE Faced with the challenge of continuously building a strong and welldeveloped data system responsive to the information requirement of its clients, the NSCB is struggling to deliver its regular outputs and develop mental programs with only 128 staff as of 2009. It is only with the strong commitment of the staff that NSCB products and services are continuously improved and delivered promptly. In view of the NSCBs core value on Teamwork to promote unity in diversity, synergy, and group accountability, NSCB Teams were created to develop a core group of staff with expertise on various specialized fields and help ensure the effective implementation of NSCB activities.
