Data Collection Notes
The 2004 Household Energy Consumption Survey pretested the questionnaire before the conduct of the actual survey. This is to test the feasibility of the form as capture instrument in collecting the data needed relative to the survey's objective and to ensure the clarity of the questionnaire and correctness of their sequences. The pretest was conducted on Jnauary 26 to 28, 2004 in two areas in Bataan; Barangay Bagumbayan, an urban barangay and Barangay Banawan, a rural area both in the municipality of Bagac. There were two supervisors and 14 interviewers conducted the interview. Eight personnel were from the National Statistics Office (NSO) and eight from the Department of Energy (DOE). The interviewers were assigned to cover ninety six (96) households for each of the area. They were instructed to personally interview the households using the HECS Form 1. On the average an interview lasted 43 minutes both for urban and rural area.
Before the 2004 HECS enumeration, three levels of training was conducted. The first level or task force training was attended by 25 selected NSO Central Office personnel, 19 selected NSO personnel from the field offices and 35 personnel from the Department of Energy (DOE) on September 6-11, 2004. The participants for this training acted as resource persons during the second level training at NSO Regional Offices.
The second level training was held on September 20-24, 2004 at the NSO regional offices. This was attended by the Regional Directors (RDs) and their Statisticians, Provincial Statistical Officers (PSOS)/OICs and their assistants. The participants for this training was acted as trainers in the third level training.
The third level training was conducted at the provincial offices on September 27 to October 1, 2004 and was participated by the DSOs/SCOs and hired Statistical researchers (SRs) of each province who were involved in the HECS field operation.

Supervision
The Regional Administrators, Provincial Statistical Officers and their assistants and DSOs were given eight days each for supervision to allow them to visit their area of jurisdiction during the survey operation. It is expected that there should be a strict supervision of the conduct of the survey. The role of the supervisor are to observe how the interview was being conducted and point out errors to avoid the same mistakes in succeeding interviews; scrutinize accomplished questionnaires for correctness, completeness and consistency of entries; conduct a random reinterview of households; help solve problems encountered by enumerators such as refusals, callbacks; collect EN's reports; ensure that the expected output of the ENs are met; fill up the Supervisor's Report form; and be available if the ENs need assistance in relation to the conduct of the survey.
Central office personnel and DOE personnel also supervised and conducted spotchecks during the field operation. The whereabouts of the supervisors and the area of assignment of the ENs should be made available at the field offices to ensure close coordination among persons involved in the operation and to be able to locate the ENs much faster.
