CBMS Manual 1 Enumerator's Manual for the Household Profile Questionnaire (VN: 01‐2011‐01) CBMS Manual 1 June 2012 Prepared by CBMS Network Team This work was carried out by the PEP‐Asia CBMS Network Team with the financial support of the Government of Canada provided through the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) Enumerator’s Manual for the Household Profile Questionnaire (VN: 01‐2011‐01) CBMS Manual 1 PROCEDURES IN FILLING‐UP THE HOUSEHOLD PROFILE QUESTIONNAIRE (CBMS FORM 1) PAGE 1 (A) IDENTIFICATION PAGE The first thing the enumerator will do is to fill‐up the information needed on the cover page of the form. Identify the location being surveyed. I. Identification of Location: Write the name of the province, city/municipality, zone, barangay, purok or sitio, street and the house number to identify the place being surveyed. As an additional identification, write in the box provided for I.h. the appropriate code if there is a unique description of the residential location. Example: II. Household Identification Number: The ID number is a number uniquely assigned to a particular household. This will help in the identification and control of every household. The enumerator should check that each of the questionnaires handed out by the supervisor has a unique ID number before the conduct of the survey. In addition, always put the ID number at each page of the questionnaire. Write the ID number at the space provided at the top right of each page of the questionnaire. This would be very important in cases where the pages of the questionnaire happen to get separated. II. Household Identification Number : 17 (ID No.) It should also be ensured that all pages of the questionnaire have a household identification number recorded on the upper right corner of the questionnaire. 2 III. Type of Building/House/Dwelling Unit1: This question should not be asked to the respondent. Observe the building/house/dwelling unit of the household then write the appropriate code in the box provided. Some of the possible answers and the codes provided are as follows: 1. Single house – an independent residential structure intended for one household 2. Duplex – a structure intended for two households with complete living facilities for each. It is divided vertically or horizontally into two separate housing units which are usually identical. 3. Apartment/accessoria/condominium/townhouses – refers to the following: a. Apartment – a structure usually having several storeys, with three or more independent entrances from internal halls or courts.. An apartment has one common entrance from the outside. b. Accessoria – a one‐ or two floor structure divided into three or more housing units, each housing unit having its own separate entrance from the outside. Another name for accesoria is row house. c. Condominium – a high‐rise building where the housing units are owned individually but the land and other areas and facilities are commonly owned. 4. Commercial/industrial/agricultural building/house – these refer to buildings specifically built for transacting business, rendering professional services, processing, assembling, manufacturing, or packaging operations, for agricultural purposes and mainly not intended for human habitation but are used as living quarters of households at the time of the survey. 5. Other housing units (example: boat, cave, etc..) – refer to living quarters which are neither intended for humn habitation nor located in permanent buildings but are nevertheless, used as living quarters at the time of the census. Caves, trailers, barges, carts, boats, and others, fall into this category. IV. Name of Respondent: Ask for the complete name (first name and surname) of your respondent and write down the name on the line provided. V. Date of Interview: Write down the date the interview was conducted using the format: month, day, and year. Example: November 12, 2010 VI.

Oras Nagsimula : 9:00 AM PAGE 2 (B) DEMOGRAPHY COLUMN 1A ‐ LINE NUMBER Every questionnaire is provided with ten (10) lines or rows. You will write in these lines the names of all the members of the household. Each line has a corresponding number assigned to it. This is referred as the Line Number. The line number will help you to identify each of the members of the household. Question: "How many members are there in this household?" As you ask this question, be sure to explain to the respondent what we mean by household and household members as explained below. Household and Household Membership2 Household is an aggregate of persons, generally but not necessarily bound by ties of kinship, who sleep in the same house and have common arrangements for the preparation and consumption of food. According to this definition, a person who lives alone is considered a household; also a person who rents bed space but makes arrangements for his/her own food is also a household. However, a group of persons who share or take their meals together but live in separate but adjacent living quarters for convenience is considered one household. A family (also called a nuclear family), on the other hand, is defined as a group of persons usually living together and composed of the head and other persons related to the head by blood, marriage and adoption. For the purpose of the CBMS, the "extended" family concept is followed. A person living alone is also considered as one family. 2 Definition based on the Enumerator’s Manual of the Census of Population and Housing, National Statistics Office, 2010 4 An extended family is composed of a nuclear family as defined above together with relatives like son/daughter‐in‐law, grandchildren, father, mother and other relatives. However, the presence of a boarder and domestic helper will not change the household type. Considered as members of a household3 are: Persons present at the time of visit whose usual place of residence (or the place where the person usually resides) is the household, regardless of their length or frequency of stay in the household; Persons present at the time of the visit whose usual place of residence is outside the household but have stayed temporarily with the household for at least 30 days; Persons present at the time of visit whose usual place of residence is outside the household and have stayed with the household even for less than 30 days provided that they have been away from their usual place of residence for 30 days or more; and Persons not present at the time of visit but are expected to return within 30 days from date of departure to their usual place of residence which is the household. The following family members who are not present at the time of the survey is also considered as member of the household: 1. Overseas Contract Workers (OCWs) 2. Overseas workers except for OCWs who are away for not more than five years from the time of departure and are expected to be back within five years from the date of last departure 3. Working in Philippine embassies, consulates and other missions 4. Student in other country/Tourist who are away for not more than a year and are expected to return within one year from the time of departure Included in this category are those who are training abroad, confined in hospitals, and missionaries There is no scheduled time of return for members of the household in (1) and (3). Not considered as members of a household are: Persons or family members who are inmates of institutions such as penal colonies/farms, detention camps, homes for the aged, orphanages, mental institutions, tuberculosis sanitaria, leprosaria, etc., and who are not expected to return within 30 days from date of departure; Members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, if they have been away from the household for more than 30 days from date of departure; Filipinos, whose usual place of residence is in a foreign count;y, who are and will be in the Philippines for less than one year from arrival; Citizens of other countries who are in the Philippines as tourists, students, merchants or working from 3 Based from the Enumerator’s Manual of the Census of Population and Housing, National Statistics Office, 2010 5 which their stay here in the country does not exceed one (1) year; Representatives of embassies, ministries, consulates, or other messengers, and members of their families, without considering the length of stay in the country; and Citizens of other countries who are leaders or officials of international organizations like United Nations (UN), International Labor Organization (ILO) or United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and members of their family, without considering the length of stay in the country Encircle the number from the line number column that corresponds to the number of household members. This would guide you to the household size as the interview progresses. ( 1 ) ( 2 ) N How many members are there in this U household including OFWs? M Who is the head of the household? B Who are the other members of the E households? R LAST NAME FIRST NAME MIDDLE NAME 1 2 3 4 The question "Are there more than 10 members in this household?" found at the bottom of the page 2 is not meant to be asked to the respondent, but as a guide for you, the enumerator.

May 2007 _________________________________________ Prepared for The Philanthropic Initiative, Inc. and The Global Equity Initiative, Harvard University Supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation ____________________________________________ Diaspora Philanthropy: The Philippine Experience I . The Philippine Diaspora Major Waves of Migration The Philippines is a country with a long and vibrant history of emigration. In 2006 the country celebrated the centennial of the first surge of Filipinos to the United States in the very early 20th Century. Since then, there have been three somewhat distinct waves of migration. The first wave began when sugar workers from the Ilocos Region in Northern Philippines went to work for the Hawaii Sugar Planters Association in 1906 and continued through 1929. Even today, an overwhelming majority of the Filipinos in Hawaii are from the Ilocos Region. After a union strike in 1924, many Filipinos were banned in Hawaii and migrant labor shifted to the U.S. mainland (Vera Cruz 1994). Thousands of Filipino farm workers sailed to California and other states. Between 1906 and 1930 there were 120,000 Filipinos working in the United States. The Filipinos were at a great advantage because, as residents of an American colony, they were regarded as U.S. nationals. However, with the passage of the Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934, which officially proclaimed Philippine independence from U.S. rule, all Filipinos in the United States were reclassified as aliens. The Great Depression of 1929 slowed Filipino migration to the United States, and Filipinos sought jobs in other parts of the world.

  • Why Filipino Migrants Remit? Evidence from a Home-Host Country Matched Sample
    DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS ISSN 1441-5429 DISCUSSION PAPER 09/12 Why Filipino Migrants Remit? Evidence from a Home-Host Country Matched Sample James Ted McDonald* and Ma. Rebecca Valenzuela† Abstract This paper uses a unique matched survey dataset to directly test remittance models using information from both remittance-sending and remittance-receiving households. Our results show that the decision to remit is strongly affected by both home and host country factors with altruism motive as an ubiquitous underlying element. We find that men’s behaviour is mainly influenced by their capacity to remit, not so for women. Further we show that job-to-skill mismatching is widespread among Filipinos overseas and depresses women’s remittances by over fifty per cent. Clearly, the economic and social losses associated with this kind of labour market outcome are significant.

INTRODUCTION Migrant workers from all over the world send remittances to their families in their countries of origin. These generally refer to monies that are transmitted to households by workers who find employment outside their home economies. Since remittances directly increase the income of a migrant‟s family back home, they have become a vital source of financial support for meeting daily consumption needs.
