On the production of statistics, remarkable accomplishments include the successful conduct of the 2010 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) as its flagship activity; 2009 Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industries (ASPBI) and the Survey on Information and Communication Technology (SICT) and other demographic and economic surveys; dissemination of statistical products on the 2008 National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS), 2009 Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) and the 2008 ASPBI and SICT; and integration of information technology components, such as electronic questionnaires, handheld computers and electronic mail in household and establishment based surveys.
In civil registration, notable achievements include the successful conduct of the 5th National Workshop on Civil Registration; completion of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act 9858 (Legitimation of Children Born to Minor Parents) and policy guidelines in the implementation of RA 9523 (Declaration of Children as Legally Available for Adoption); revision of the civil registry forms to cope with the emerging needs for vital and demographic indicators; and enhancement of the Philippine Civil Registry System (PhilCRIS) into a secured database management system that delivers civil registration information management in a more user-friendly manner.
