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
