The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), through its Regional Statistical Services Offices (RSSOs) in its commitment to widely disseminate information produced by the Philippine Statistical System, continues to update and publish local level statistics designed to address the varied statistical needs of planners and policy makers at the local level. The RSET, a compendium of local level statistics, presents annual time series data on various sectors of the region and its component provinces, cities, and municipalities. It also contains data that are disaggregated in different dimensions and includes a glossary of terms of official concepts and definitions for statistical purposes. We gratefully acknowledge the valuable contributions of our various data sources without which the publication of the RSET would not have been made possible. We likewise appreciate the support of our clients who continue to patronize and recognize this publication as an important tool for evidence-based decision making. We reiterate our call on our partner agencies to continue our collaboration towards the empowerment of the countryside by making statistics more available and accessible to users. To continue improving our statistical products and services, we enjoin both our data sources and users to share their comments and suggestions to guide us in improving future editions of the RSET and other publications of the PSA.
