Bersales, in her message, said that we need Innovation for us to fulfil our Vision on being Solid, Responsive, and World Class; to Level up with our Quality Policy; to be Healthy PSA and Happy PSA; and to focus on High Impact Flagship activities. She added that to do this, we must consider People’s mind set; look at the Processes and the Services aligned to the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Ser- vice Delivery (EODBEGSD); embrace Technologies; and build Leaders. As we do innovation, we must do things as Specific, Measurable, Agreed on, Realistic, Time Bound, and Recorded. It is in this per- spective that the 2019 accomplishments of the PSA Catanduanes Provincial Statistics Office were smoothly implemented despite limited workforce. In 2019, for our Statistical and Information Services, we successfully implemented the Household- based, Industry-based, and Admin-based surveys. Major surveys include the Family Income and Ex- penditure Survey and the 2019 Functional Literacy, Education, and Mass Media Survey. The 2018 Cen- sus of Philippine Business and Industry (CPBI) being conducted every 6 years was implemented within the given time-frame. We did finish convening the 2020 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) Pro- vincial and Municipal Census Coordination Board as preparatory activity for the 2020 CPH. This office continues to disseminate the data generated thru prints; radio program; social media; and through a gathering in a form of forum and lecture to students, elected officials, vulnerable groups, respondents, and other Data users. On Civil Registration and Vital Statistics services, we adapt the project PSA Community Assistance on Registration and Education Services (PSA CARES). This is basically bringing the services closer to the people through the conduct of mobile registration and acceptance of request application for PSA issued documents. Included also in this project is encouraging Local Civil Registry Offices (LCROs) to digitize their records using the fast scan app. As we embrace technologies in data presentation, more in- fographics on Vital Statistics were produced as ready reference to data users, extracted from the De- centralized Vital Statistics System (DVSS). To enhance partnership on statistics, as well as promote appreciation on the importance of having data and using it in planning and program implementation, we had the conduct of the 30th National Statistics Month celebration by having the 1st Data Cartooning contest offered to Grade 11 students, the Data User’s Forum and Launching of the 2020 CPH. The creation of the Provincial Statistics Committee be- came effective through an Executive Order by the Provincial Gov- ernor signed this year. These activities form part of our mandate on Statistical Planning and Coordination. Another accomplishment is the massive information dissemina- tion on the Philippine Identification Systems Act (RA 11055). Au- dio Video presentation on PhilID is being played at the frontline service area and in PSA organized and partnered lecture-forum activities. All these were successfully done with the concerted efforts of the Men and Women of PSA Catanduanes, with the full support and cooperation of our partners namely: the Data Providers, Local Government Units, Media, National Government Agencies, Non- Government Organizations, Service Providers, Data Users, our Family, and the Management. Above all, these would not be pos- sible, without the Divine Intervention of our God the Almighty. Let us work smarter through innovation as we deliver our man- date with sincerity, dedication, and utmost responsibility in the coming years My heartfelt thanks to everyone! ANAVI F.
