This nationwide undertaking is the 12th census of population that was undertaken since the first census in 1903. Like the previous censuses conducted by the office, POPCEN 2007 was designed to take an inventory of the total population in the Philippines and its provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays and to collect some information about the demographic, social, and economic characteristics of the population. Authority for conducting the POPCEN 2007 Section 2 of Commonwealth Act No. 591, approved on August 19, 1940, authorized the Bureau of the Census and Statistics (now the National Statistics Office or NSO) to collect by enumeration, sampling or other methods, statistics and other information concerning population and to conduct, for statistical purposes, investigations and studies of social and economic conditions in the country, among others. Executive Order No. 121, signed on January 30, 1987, declared that the NSO shall be the major statistical agency responsible for generating general- purpose statistics and for undertaking such censuses and surveys as maybe designated by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB); Presidential Proclamation No. 1346 “Declaring August 2007 as National Census Month” enjoined all departments and other government agencies including government-owned or controlled corporations, as well as local government units to implement and execute the operational plans for the 2007 Census of Population (POPCEN 2007), directives and orders of the NSCB, through the NSO. Coordination for the POPCEN 2007 The NSO, headed by the Administrator, is the agency mandated to formulate and execute plans to undertake POPCEN 2007.

National Statistics Office vi 2007 Census of Population Explanatory Note Method of Enumeration The gathering of population data was performed by census enumerators through house-to-house visits and interview of the head of each household on population items. Special areas like exclusive villages/subdivisions were enumerated by requesting the respondents to fill up the Self-Administered Questionnaire (SAQ), that is, a questionnaire with a set of printed instructions and illustrations on how to accomplish it. Residents of institutions such as hospitals, sanitaria, penitentiary, military camps, convents, seminaries were enumerated using the questionnaire for institutional population. The de jure method of enumeration was used, that is, all persons were enumerated in their usual place of residence, which is the geographic place where the person usually resides. Content and Coverage of this Report In this report, the population counts by province, city/municipality and barangay are presented. Definition of Terms and Concepts The operational definitions and concepts adopted in the POPCEN 2007 have also been used in past censuses of population. The use of the same operational definitions of terms and concepts in our population censuses will ensure comparability of census results. The POPCEN 2007 enumerators were instructed to adhere strictly to these operational definitions. Barangay A barangay is the smallest political unit in the country. Generally, one enumerator is assigned to enumerate one barangay. For enumeration purposes, a large barangay is usually divided into parts, and each part is called an enumeration area (EA). For purposes of the POPCEN 2007, the official list of barangays of the DILG in the Philippine Standard Geographic Codes as of December 2007 was used as the basis. National Statistics Office vii 2007 Census of Population Explanatory Note For purposes of this report, the population of an area disputed by two barangays in the same municipality is excluded from either disputing barangay but included in the municipality.
