2 ABOUT 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 administrative reports. The statistics and information generated serve as valuable inputs in the formulation of national and sub- national development plans and programs, in the conduct of research, and in making vital business decisions of both the government and the private sectors. The NSO uses tri-media in data dissemination and the latest available information technology facilities in data processing.
The Administrator of the NSO, as ex-officio Civil Registrar General, carries out and administers the Civil Registry Law. In particular, the agency prepares and issues relevant rules and regulations on civil registration for its proper implementation. As the central repository of documents on the civil status of individuals, the agency has developed and utilized automated systems to facilitate storage, retrieval and safekeeping of documents and issuance of copies of the same documents through the Civil Registry System (CRS). Pursuant to Article 7 of the Family Code, the agency also issues certificates of registration of authority to solemnize marriage to solemnizing officers.
VISION The National Statistics Office is a recognized world-class provider of statistical and civil registration products and services.
MISSION As the primary statistical agency of the government, the National Statistics Office produces and provides quality statistical and civil registration products and services.
CORE VALUES We are committed to meet the expectations of our clientele for prompt, reliable and efficient services.
We recognize the value of our human resources and continue to promote their general welfare and well-being.
In harmony, we strive for higher productivity - inspiring creativity and innovativeness.
We instill discipline and uphold integrity as an imperative in our transactions.
We value professionalism and aim for excellence in our products and services.
Humbly, we seek the guidance of our Divine Providence in all our undertakings.
3 The clients we serve are the central concern at all times. We consistently focused on providing the highest quality service.
One essential success factor in the production of quality statistics is statistical coordination at the field operations’ level where collection of data emanates. There is a thin line between serving statistical coordination and politics with LGUs that may also extend to some administrative arrangements or exchanges. This is most apparent in local census coordinating bodies where LGUs are active partners in census and survey operations and their participation includes sharing of resources, deployments of LGU staff, and use of office space, transportation, and service allowances among others.
The trade off may include pressure on serving blown up population and economic statistics that will benefit the LGU by way of issuing certifications from raw census results.
While it cannot be denied that civil registration is our closest link to the LGUs, and with the rolling out of CRS to some LGUs through LGU-hosting, BREQS, and other internal media-we also need to look at how it affects the quality of our operations.
We come up with policy guidelines that will secure our MESSAGE CRS operations and safeguards the integrity of our from the service. ADMINISTRATOR The LGUs are our data suppliers and subcontractors, and at the same time, data users and beneficiaries as well. Basically, we also serve them-thus, we need to bring out performance measures in innovation and customer satisfaction that will build strong relations with the LGUs sans the political exchanges.
It is always said that people are the most important assets in an organization. As an organization become more dependent on the knowledge and expertise of their staff and on their ability to develop intellectual capital, this becomes truer.

As a statistical agency producing general-purpose statistics-there is no doubt we have been serving well in this area, But we still need some improvements in establishing standards and policies with regards to coordination, partnerships and alliances that will secure the reputation of NSO, being independent and free from political interest.
A continuous improvement process is used to ensure that there is constant review and enhancement of the work environment and clients services. We conduct annual assessment and planning workshops every year to see how things have been and how things are and how these things shall be.
