EXPLANATORY TEXT

INTRODUCTION

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) conducted the 2015 Census of Population (POPCEN 2015) in August 2015. This is the 14th census of population undertaken in the country.

Like the previous censuses conducted in the country, the POPCEN 2015 was designed to take an inventory of the population of the Philippines and to collect information about its characteristics.

AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT THE POPCEN 2015

The authority and mandate of the PSA to conduct the POPCEN 2015 emanates from Republic Act (RA) No. 10625 and Executive Order No. 352.

RA No. 10625, also known as the Philippine Statistical Act of 2013, which was approved on 12 September 2013, states that “the PSA shall be primarily responsible for all national censuses and surveys, sectoral statistics, consolidation of administrative recording system, and compilation of national accounts.” Specifically, Section 6(b) of this Act mandates the PSA “to prepare and conduct periodic censuses on population, housing, agriculture, fisheries, business, industry, and other sectors of the economy”.

Executive Order No. 352 – Designation of Statistical Activities That Will Generate Critical Data for Decision-Making of the Government and the Private Sector, stipulates the conduct of a mid-decade census primarily to update the population count in all barangays nationwide.

Moreover, Presidential Proclamation No. 1031, Declaring August 2015 as National Census Month, enjoined all departments and other government agencies, including government-owned and -controlled corporations, as well as local government units (LGUs), to implement and execute the operational plans, directives, and orders of the PSA Board through the PSA, relative to this Proclamation.

COORDINATION FOR THE POPCEN 2015

Section 9 of RA No. 10625 states that one of the functions of the PSA Board is to prescribe appropriate frameworks for the improvement of statistical coordination and establish mechanisms for statistical coordination at the regional and LGU levels. With this mandated function and being the highest policy making body on statistical matters, the PSA Board was designated as the National Census Coordinating Board (NCCB) for the POPCEN 2015.

Explanatory Text 2015 Census of Population

The NCCB was chaired by the PSA Board Chairperson, who is the Secretary for Socioeconomic Planning and Director, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA). The Secretary of the Department of Budget and Management or his/her duly authorized Undersecretary served as the NCCB Vice-Chairperson. The members of the Board were the National Statistician (NS) of the PSA, who served as the Executive Officer (EO) of the NCCB; Executive Director of the Philippine Statistical Research and Training Institute; one representative each from the executive departments; Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas; Commission on Higher Education; Technical Education and Skills Development Authority; Governance Commission for Government-Owned and - Controlled Corporations; Philippine Statistical Association, Incorporated; Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines; and the private sector.

The local census coordinating boards were composed of the Regional Census Coordinating Board (RCCB), Provincial Census Coordinating Board (PCCB), and City/Municipal Census Coordinating Board (C/MCCB). The PSA Regional Director (RD) was responsible for organizing the RCCB. The RD oversaw the creation of the PCCB by the Provincial Statistics Officer (PSO) in all the provinces under his/her jurisdiction. The PSO, on the other hand, oversaw the creation of the C/MCCB by the Provincial Statistical Office (PO) statistician/staff in all the cities/municipalities under his/her jurisdiction. In provincial capitals where there are no PO statistician/staff designated to create the local CCB, the PSO was responsible for the formation of the C/MCCB.

Aside from the national and local CCBs, the PSA likewise coordinated with other government agencies such as the Philippine Information Agency, National Commission on Indigenous Peoples, National Commission on Muslim Filipinos, and National Commission on Disability Affairs. Coordination was also made with nongovernment organizations (NGOs), religious groups and civic organizations (both at the national and local levels); homeowners, village associations, and building administrators; and indigenous cultural communities/indigenous peoples (ICCs/IPs).

DEFINITION OF TERMS AND CONCEPTS

The operational definitions and concepts adopted in the POPCEN 2015 have also been used in the past censuses of population. The use of the same operational definitions of terms and concepts in population censuses ensures comparability of census results. The POPCEN 2015 enumerators were instructed to adhere strictly to these operational definitions.

Barangay

A barangay is the smallest political unit in the country. Generally, one enumerator (EN) is assigned to enumerate one barangay. The official list of barangays of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) in the Philippine Standard Geographic Code as of December 2015 was used for the POPCEN 2015.

xiv Philippine Statistics Authority 2015 Census of Population Explanatory Text

Usual Place of Residence

All persons were enumerated in their usual place of residence, which refers to the geographic place (street, barangay, city/municipality or province) where the person usually resides. As a rule, a person’s usual place of residence is the place where that person sleeps most of the time. Hence, it may be the same as or different from the place where he/she was found at the time of the census.

Household

A household is a social unit consisting of a person living alone or a group of persons who sleep in the same housing unit and have a common arrangement in the preparation and consumption of food.

In most cases, a household consists of persons who are related by kinship ties, such as parents and their children. In some instances, several generations of familial ties are represented in one household while, still in others, even more distant relatives are included as members of the household.

Some household members may have no relationship to the head of the household, for example, household helpers, boarders, and nonrelatives. They are considered as members of the household provided that they sleep in the same housing unit and have a common arrangement in the preparation and consumption of food with the household and that they do not go home to their family at least once a week.

A person who shares a housing unit with a household but separately cooks his/her meals or consumes his/her food elsewhere is not considered a member of the household he/she shares the housing unit with. This person should be listed as a separate (one member) household.

Household Population

Household population comprises of persons who belong to a household.

Institutional Living Quarter

Institutional Living Quarter (ILQ) is a structurally separate and independent place of abode intended for habitation by large groups of individuals. Such a quarter usually has certain common facilities such as kitchen and dining rooms, toilet and bath, and lounging areas which are shared by the occupants.

Institutional Population

Institutional population comprises of persons who are found living in ILQs. They may have their own families or households elsewhere but at the time of the census, they are committed or confined in institutions; or they live in ILQs and are usually subject to a common authority or management, or are bound by either a common public objective or a common personal interest.

Philippine Statistics Authority xv Explanatory Text 2015 Census of Population

Household Membership

In determining the household membership, the basic criterion was the usual place of residence or the place where the person usually resided. This may be the same or different from the place where a person was found at the time of the census. As a rule, it was the place where a person usually sleeps.

Who Were Enumerated

As in the past population and housing censuses, ENs of POPCEN 2015 were provided with guidelines on whom to list as members of a household and ILQ. This helped ensure uniformity in determining household membership, institutional population, and in identifying persons to be included in the enumeration or excluded from it. Further, this helped ensure that there was no omission or duplication in the enumeration of persons and households during census-taking. The following guidelines were used in determining household membership and institutional population:

Persons Enumerated as Members of the Household

1. Those who were present at the time of visit and whose usual place of residence was the housing unit where the household lived;

2. Family members who were overseas workers and who were away at the time of the census and were expected to be back within five years from the date of last departure.

These included household members who may or may not have had a specific work contract or had been presently at home on vacation but had an existing overseas employment to return to. Undocumented overseas workers or the so-called TNT (Tago Nang Tago) were still considered as members of the household for as long as they had been away for not more than five years. Immigrants, however, were excluded from the census.

3. Those whose usual place of residence was the place where the household lived but were temporarily away at the time of the census for any of the following reasons:

a. on vacation, business/pleasure trip, or training somewhere in the Philippines and was expected to be back within six months from the date of departure. An example was a person on training with the Armed Forces of the Philippines for not more than six months;

b. on vacation, business/pleasure trip, on study/training abroad and was expected to be back within a year from the date of departure;

c. working or attending school outside their usual place of residence but usually came home at least once a week; xvi Philippine Statistics Authority 2015 Census of Population Explanatory Text

d. confined in hospitals for a period of not more than six months as of the time of enumeration, except when they were confined as patients in mental hospitals, leprosaria/ leper colonies or drug rehabilitation centers, regardless of the duration of their confinement;

e. detained in national/provincial/city/municipal jails or in military camps for a period of not more than six months as of the time of enumeration, except when their sentence or detention was expected to exceed six months;

f. on board coastal, interisland, or fishing vessels within Philippine territories; and

g. on board oceangoing vessels but expected to be back within five years from the date of departure.

4. Boarders/lodgers of the household or employees of household-operated businesses who did not return/go home to their respective households weekly;

5. Citizens of foreign countries who resided or were expected to reside in the Philippines for at least a year from their arrival, except members of diplomatic missions and non-Filipino members of international organizations;

6. Filipino balikbayans with usual place of residence in a foreign country but resided or were expected to reside in the Philippines for at least a year from their arrival; and

7. Persons temporarily staying with the household who had no usual place of residence or who were not certain to be enumerated elsewhere.

Persons Enumerated as Members of the Institutional Population

1. Permanent lodgers in boarding houses;

2. Dormitory residents who did not usually go home to their respective households at least once a week;

3. Hotel residents who stayed in the hotel for more than six months at the time of the census;

4. Boarders in residential houses, provided that their number was 10 or more. However, if the number of boarders in a house was less than 10, they were considered as members of regular households, not of institutions;

5. Patients in hospitals who were confined for more than six months;

Philippine Statistics Authority xvii Explanatory Text 2015 Census of Population

6. Patients confined in mental hospitals, leprosaria or leper colonies, and drug rehabilitation centers, regardless of the length of their confinement;

7. Wards in orphanages, homes for the aged, and other welfare institutions;

8. Prisoners of corrective and penal institutions;

9. Seminarians, nuns in convents, monks, and postulants;

10. Soldiers residing in military camps; and

11. Workers in mining and similar camps.

The following persons were not considered as members of the institutional population and were included in the households to which they belonged:

1. Military officials/enlisted men or draftees (and members of their households) with housing units within military installations or camps;

2. Managers (and members of their households) of refugee camps, dormitories, hotels, hospitals, and other institutions, who occupied and regularly used as their place of abode the living quarters in the institutions that they managed; and

3. Priests, Pastors or Imams, who, together with their relatives and/or household help, occupied and regularly used as their place of abode a living quarter in the church or seminary.

Persons Included in the Census Enumeration

Included in the enumeration were those who were alive as of the POPCEN 2015 reference date, that was, 12:01 a.m. of 1 August 2015 were enumerated. Specifically, these were the following:

1. Filipino nationals permanently residing in the Philippines;

2. Filipino nationals, who, as of 1 August 2015, were temporarily at Philippine sea, or were temporarily on vacation, business/pleasure trip or studying/training abroad and were expected to be back within a year from the date of departure;

3. Filipino overseas workers, including those on board oceangoing vessels, who were away as of 1 August 2015 but were expected to be back within five years from the date of last departure;

4. Philippine government officials, both military and civilian, including Philippine diplomatic personnel and their families, assigned abroad; and

xviii Philippine Statistics Authority 2015 Census of Population Explanatory Text

5. Civilian citizens of foreign countries who had their usual residence in the Philippines, or foreign visitors who had stayed or were expected to stay for at least a year from the date of their arrival in this country.

Persons Excluded in the Census Enumeration

Excluded from the enumeration were the following persons, although they happened to be within the territorial jurisdiction of the Philippines at the time of the census enumeration:

1. Foreign ambassadors, ministers, consuls or other diplomatic representatives, and members of their families;

2. Citizens of foreign countries living within the premises of an embassy, legation, chancellery or consulate;

3. Citizens of foreign countries who were chiefs or officials of international organizations and who were subjected to reassignment to other countries after their tour of duty in the Philippines, and members of their families. Examples of these international organizations are the United Nations (UN), International Labor Organization (ILO), Asian Development Bank (ADB), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) or the United States Agency for International Development (USAID);

4. Citizens of foreign countries, together with non-Filipino members of their families, who were students or who were employed or had business in the Philippines, but who had stayed or were expected to stay in the country for less than a year from their arrival;

5. Citizens of foreign countries and Filipinos with usual place of residence in a foreign country, who were visiting the Philippines and who had stayed or were expected to stay in the country for less than a year from their arrival. An example was a balikbayan who had plans to return to his/her usual place of residence abroad after a short vacation or visit in the Philippines;

6. Citizens of foreign countries in refugee camps/vessels; and

7. Residents of the Philippines on vacation, pleasure or business trip, study or training abroad who had been away or were expected to be away from the Philippines for more than one year from their departure.

Method of Enumeration

The gathering of population and housing data was performed by census ENs through house to house visits and interview of a responsible member of each household. Self-Administered Questionnaires (SAQs) and/or Electronic Questionnaires (E- Questionnaires) were provided to households living in special areas, such as high-rise buildings/condominiums, exclusive subdivisions/villages, and townhouses, and institutions where personal interview was not possible. A complete listing of buildings

Philippine Statistics Authority xix Explanatory Text 2015 Census of Population

which contain living quarters, including the vacant ones, as well as housing units and ILQs was also done.

A complete enumeration was conducted in all barangays nationwide to obtain population count and data on selected characteristics of the household population, household and housing characteristics, and registration of deaths among members of the household in the last two years. For institutional population, selected characteristics were also gathered.

Information about households of Filipinos working in Philippine embassies in foreign countries, as well as homeless population were likewise gathered and included in the total population of the country.

TRAININGS AND FIELDWORK FOR THE CONDUCT OF THE POPCEN 2015

The 2015 Census of Population (POPCEN 2015) is designed primarily to take an inventory of the population in the Philippines and collect information about their characteristics. All information about the population and living quarters were collected as of 12:01 AM of 1 August 2015, the census reference date and time.

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is the agency mandated by law to conduct the POPCEN 2015. Republic Act (RA) No. 10625 and Executive Order (EO) No. 352 are the legal bases for the conduct of this census. RA No. 10625 mandates the PSA to conduct national censuses and surveys, while EO No. 352 requires the conduct of a mid-decade census. Section 25 of RA No. 10625 provides that all respondents are obliged to give truthful and complete answers during the censuses and surveys conducted by the PSA while Section 26 stipulates the confidentiality of information provided by respondents to the PSA in censuses and surveys.

The census-taking was conducted from 10 August to 6 September 2015. The enumeration lasted for approximately 25 working days, except in highly urbanized cities such as the cities in the National Capital Region, and in large provinces in Region IV-A – CALABARZON and Region III – Central Luzon, where the enumeration period was extended beyond 25 days. About 90 thousand individuals were employed as census enumerators (ENs), 23 thousand as team supervisors (TSs), and five thousand as census area supervisors (CASs). They were hired to augment and support the permanent personnel of the PSA during the census enumeration.

An EN was assigned to enumerate one enumeration area (EA), which had about 400 households. To ensure quality data collection during the census enumeration, a ratio of one TS for every four ENs and one CAS for every five TSs was implemented, in general.

To prepare the hired census personnel for enumeration work, four levels of training were conducted. The first level or the task force training for enumeration was conducted within Metro Manila on 29 June to 4 July 2015. The said training was participated in by selected personnel of the PSA central, regional, and provincial offices, who, in turn acted as trainers in the succeeding levels of training. The second level training was conducted within the region for selected PSA provincial and regional office staff who, in turn, served as trainers in the third and fourth level training. The third level training, which was conducted within the province was participated in by selected provincial office personnel and pre-selected hired CASs. The ENs and TSs were trained during the fourth level training, which was conducted within the city and municipality with available training center. A standard training program covering the concepts, definitions, procedures, as well as duties and responsibilities of ENs and supervisors was used.

Census-taking involved going around the whole enumeration area to do the required census procedures, as follows:

1. Courtesy Call. As a matter of protocol, the census personnel made a courtesy call to the Punong Barangay. The ENs informed the official that the census would be undertaken in the barangay and that they would go around the entire area to ask questions from the residents.

D - 1 Philippine Statistics Authority Appendix D – Trainings And Fieldwork 2015 Census of Population

2. Mapping and Canvassing . The ENs went around the entire EA to familiarize themselves with the place, checked the barangay or EA boundaries and landmarks, and reflected these on the barangay/EA map.

3. Listing . The ENs listed buildings with living quarters, housing units, households and number of household members, and institutional living quarters (ILQs) and number of persons staying in ILQs in CP Form 1 or the Listing Booklet. Structures which were occupied or used as living quarters by households, even though these were not intended for human habitation were also listed. During the listing, the names of the household heads and their addresses, and the names and addresses of ILQs were recorded.

4. Interview and Recording of Answers . For every household or ILQ listed, the ENs administered a questionnaire, that is, CP Form 2 for a household or CP Form 4 for an ILQ. The Punong Barangay or any barangay official was also interviewed by the ENs or their TS using CP Form 5 (Barangay Questionnaire).

5. Plotting. The ENs plotted the building with its assigned serial number on the EA map. Standard cartographic symbols were used in plotting the buildings of the households and ILQs.

6. Posting of sticker . The ENs posted a sticker or CP Form 6 (Notice of Listing/ Enumeration) on the door, gate or any conspicuous part of the housing unit or ILQ, to indicate that the household or ILQ has been listed and/or interviewed.

In addition to the count of the household population and institutional population, information about selected demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the population were collected using the census questionnaires. These questionnaires were reviewed for completeness and consistency of entries at various phases of the census operations. During data collection, the census supervisors scrutinized questionnaires for completeness and consistency of entries.

Progress monitoring reports were utilized to track the progress of census and field operations and evaluate the completeness of census coverage in each barangay/EA while the enumeration was still ongoing. The provincial, regional, and central offices of the PSA monitored the progress of enumeration through the Progress Monitoring System (PMS). The PMS generated reports on the number of households, ILQs, and persons enumerated based on the information sent by the area supervisors through short messaging system (SMS) or text messaging.

Review of accomplished questionnaires for completeness and consistency of entries was also carried out at the census headquarters or other designated areas where the census teams met weekly and at the Provincial Statistical Office (PO) during manual processing. Machine processing included scanning and interpretation, key-from-image (KFI) data entry, electronic coding, verification of codes, key-verification of batchfiles, validation of geographic and household identification, completeness and consistency checking, and tabulation of marginal and consistency tables. Data files and images were transmitted from the Data Processing Centers (DPCs) to the Central Office (CO) for the generation of census counts. Population counts by province, city, municipality, and barangay, as determined from the processed census questionnaires are considered official for all purposes once they are proclaimed by the President of the Philippines.

Philippine Statistics Authority D - 2 2015 Census of Population Appendix D – Trainings And Fieldwork

The POPCEN 2015 adopted the following technologies to make the census operations efficient:

1. GPS technology for mapping . For this census round, GPS (Global Positioning System) technology was used for mapping selected barangays in all regions. This activity provided the ENs with more accurate maps with exact boundary information. The use of GPS technology will be continued by the PSA as part of its rolling program for mapping activities.

2. SMS technology for progress monitoring . The PSA made use of the SMS technology in monitoring the progress of census enumeration nationwide. Started in the 2007 census, the enhanced version of the PMS was adopted for this census round. The Philippines is the first country in Asia and the Pacific to use the SMS technology in progress monitoring.

3. OMR technology for data processing . The use of Optical Mark Reader (OMR) technology in the Philippine census started in the 2000 Census of Population and Housing (2000 CPH). The Philippines is among the first few countries to have successfully used this technology. The use of OMR shortened the data entry phase because only selected items with codes corresponding to write-in entries were encoded. Data encoding using KFI was done instead of keying from the questionnaires.

4. CAFES for supervisors. The Computer-Aided Field Editing System (CAFES), a module of the Computer-Aided Data Collection System (CADaCS), is a data entry program installed in the tablet, which enabled the CASs to encode entries from accomplished household questionnaires during supervision. The CAFES, thereby, enabled the Head CASs to detect errors or inconsistencies in the accomplished questionnaires during field editing.

5. MIS for quick monitoring of selected POPCEN 2015 activities. The Management Information System (MIS) is a web-based application system that served as a sound board for both the PSA CO and Field Office (FO) staff. It facilitated the monitoring of status of delivery of census questionnaires and supplies, reporting of accidents, injuries, and deaths, among others.

6. Satellite images for validating census coverage . The CO downloaded satellite images and identified structures (buildings) in selected cities and municipalities. Counts of households were estimated based on the said structures. These estimates were used to validate the completeness of census coverage in many areas.

The PSA implemented various strategies to enumerate areas which were hard to reach, remote, upland or mountainous, under military control or with peace and order problem, Chinese communities or exclusive villages with low response rate for reasons of security or other concerns, and areas with boundary disputes. These strategies included the recruitment of ENs who were from the area; coordination with various government agencies and local government units for mobility; coordination with local officials; and coordination with homeowners’ associations in exclusive villages, high-rise condominiums, and in communities inhabited by many foreign nationals and indigenous peoples.

EVALUATION OF POPULATION COUNTS FROM THE POPCEN 2015

Progress monitoring reports were utilized to track the progress of census field operations and evaluate the completeness of census coverage in every barangay/enumeration area (EA). The provincial, regional, and central offices of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) monitored the progress of census enumeration through the Progress Monitoring System (PMS). Information on a completely enumerated area was sent to the Central Office (CO) through Short Messaging Service (SMS) using information from CP Form 1 (Listing Booklet). The Field Offices (FOs) and CO monitored the progress of enumeration through the use of PM reports generated from the PMS.

Evaluation of Population Counts at the PSA Field Offices

The Regional Statistical Services Office (RSSO) was responsible for the evaluation of the 2015 Census of Population (POPCEN 2015) counts for the provinces in the region while the Provincial Statistical Office (PO) was responsible for the evaluation of population counts in the cities and municipalities in the province. The computerized reporting through the PMS facilitated the evaluation of population counts at the RSSO and PO. The PMS generated various reports, which include the progress of enumeration by EA with total number of households and total population (PM Report 2). This report showed the EAs, which were completely enumerated as of the date the report was generated. It also showed the percentage of EAs in a barangay, city/municipality or province that has completed the census taking. This report was used to evaluate the acceptability of the reported counts for the following indicators, computed at the barangay level in comparison with the results of the 2010 Census of Population and Housing:

a. Household and population counts b. Demographic indicators • Annual population growth rate • Percent change in the number of households • Average household size c. Difference between 2015 and 2010 institutional population d. Number and percent of EAs completed

The FOs investigated areas with demographically implausible growth rates and questionable values in any of the above cited indicators.

Evaluation of Population Counts at the Central Office

Parallel monitoring and evaluation of population counts were done at the CO, particularly at the Population and Housing Census Division (PHCD). The information used by the PHCD for evaluation were:

a. POPCEN 2015 counts at the barangay level generated through the PMS;

Philippine Statistics Authority E - 1 Appendix E – Evaluation of Population Counts 2015 Census of Population

b. POPCEN 2015 counts at the barangay level from the Enumeration Area Reference File (EARF) filled up with population counts by the POs after matching and completeness checking of census questionnaires during the manual processing; c. POPCEN 2015 counts at the barangay level generated from the Quick Count; d. average annual population growth rates for the provinces and cities/municipalities for the periods 1995-2000, 2000-2007, 1995-2007, 2000-2010, 2007-2010, 2010-2015 and for all geographic levels, that is, including barangay level, for the period 2010- 2015; e. sex ratio for the provinces and cities/municipalities for the year 2010, and for all geographic levels for the year 2015; f. average household size for all geographic levels for the years 2000, 2007, 2010 and 2015; g. percent change of population between census years 2000 and 2007, 2000 and 2010, 2007 and 2010, 2007 and 2015, and 2010 and 2015 for all geographic levels; and h. difference in the total population, household population, and number of households between census years 2000 and 2007, 2000 and 2010, 2007 and 2010, 2007 and 2015, 2010 and 2015 for all geographic levels.

Below are the other sources of information used as inputs for the extrapolation of population counts for 2015. The results of extrapolation were compared with the population counts from 2010 CPH, using the balancing equation assumption:

a. vital registration data on annual births and deaths and estimates of levels of registration based on POPCEN 2007 and 2010 Census of Population and Housing (2010 CPH), for the provinces and cities/municipalities; and b. number of housing units based on satellite images, for selected provinces and cities/municipalities.

Acceptable or demographically plausible values for the abovementioned indicators, as well as the expected direction of their changes over time are specified in the Field Operations Manual (FOM) of the POPCEN 2015 (pages 156-157). The demographic indicators for each geographic area were evaluated using the procedures also contained in the FOM. Explanations were sought if a particular indicator fell outside the acceptable range of values, or if the observed change in the indicator deviates from the expected demographic trend. The RSSO submitted to the CO the explanations of the POs in the region for areas with census results that were considered questionable by the CO based on its independent evaluation.

A more thorough procedure of evaluation was employed for barangays suspected of having census undercoverage or overcoverage. In extreme cases, wherein the results of the evaluation confirmed that underenumeration, padding or fabrication of population were committed, field verification was required.
