Study notes
Census of Population and Housing (CPH) refers to the entire process of collecting, compiling, evaluating, analyzing, publishing, and disseminating data about the population and the living quarters in a country. It entails the listing and recording of the characteristics of each individual and each living quarter as of a specified time and within a specified territory. In other words, the CPH offers a “snapshot” of the entire population on a specific date, that is, how many people reside within the national borders, who they are, and where they live during such specified date. Also, included are the characteristics of the housing units where they reside.
The 2010 CPH is designed to take an inventory of the total population and housing units in the Philippines and collect information about their characteristics. The census of population is the source of information on the size and distribution of the population, as well as their demographic, social, economic, and cultural characteristics. The census of housing, on the other hand, provides information on the stock of housing units and their structural characteristics and facilities which have bearing on the maintenance of privacy and health, and the development of normal family living conditions. These information are vital for making rational plans and programs for local and national development.
Specifically, the 2010 CPH aims to:
- obtain comprehensive data on the size, composition, and distribution of the population of the Philippines;
- gather data on birth registration, literacy, school attendance, place of school, highest grade/year completed, residence 5 years ago, overseas worker, usual occupation, kind of business or industry, class of worker, place of work, fertility, religion, citizenship, ethnic group, disability, and functional difficulty, and determine their geographic distribution;
- take stock of the housing units existing in the country and to get information about their geographic location, structural characteristics, and facilities, among others;
- obtain information on the characteristics of the barangay, which will be used as basis for urban-rural classification; and
- serve as sampling frame for use in household-based surveys.
Data collected in this census were compiled, evaluated, analyzed, published, and disseminated for the use of government, business, industry, social scientists, other research and academic institutions, and the general public. Among the important uses of census data are the following:
In government:
- redistricting and apportionment of congressional seats;
- allocation of resources and revenues;
- creation of political and administrative units;
- formulation of policies concerning population and housing; and
- formulation of programs relative to the delivery of basic services for health, education, housing, and others
In business and industry:
- determination of sites for establishing businesses;
- determination of consumer demands for various goods and services; and
- determination of supply of labor for the production of goods and services
In research and academic institutions:
- conduct of researches on population and other disciplines; and
- study of population growth and distribution as basis in preparing projections

Universe
Census-taking in the Philippines follows a de-jure concept wherein a person is counted in the usual place of residence or the place where the person usually resides. Information on the count of the population and living quarters were collected with 12:01 a.m. of May 1, 2010 as the census reference time and date.
The following individuals were enumerated:
- Those who were present at the time of visit and whose usual place of residence is the housing unit where the household lives.
- Those whose usual place of residence is the place where the household lives but are temporarily away at the time of the census.
- Boarders/lodgers of the household or employees of household-operated businesses who do not usually return/go to their respective homes weekly.
- Overseas workers and who have been away at the time of the census for not more than five years from the date of departure and are expected to be back within five years from the date of last departure.
- Filipino "balikbayans" with usual place of residence in a foreign country but have resided or are expected to reside in the Philippines for at least a year from their arrival.
- Citizens of foreign countries who have resided or are expected to reside in the Philippines for at least a year from their arrival, except members of diplomatic missions and non-Filipino members of international organizations.
- Persons temporarily staying with the household who have no usual place of residence or who are not certain to be enumerated elsewhere.

Sampling
Sampling procedure
In the 2010 CPH, there are basically two types of questionnaires used for the enumeration of household members. These are CPH Form 2 or the Common Household Questionnaire and CPH Form 3 or the Sample Household Questionnaire. CPH Form 3 contains more questions than CPH Form 2.
The 2010 CPH was carried out through a combination of complete enumeration and sampling. For this census, systematic cluster sampling was adopted. This sampling method is designed in such a way that efficient and accurate estimates will be obtained at the city/municipality level.
The sampling rate or the proportion of households to be selected as samples depends on the size of the city/municipality where the Enumeration Area (EA) is located. For the cities/municipalities with estimated number of households of 500 and below, 100 percent sampling rate was used. While for those cities/municipalities with estimated number of households of 501 and above, a sampling rate of 20 percent was implemented.
In this sampling scheme, each city/municipality was treated as a domain. For city/municipality with 100 percent sampling rate, all households in all the EAs within this city/municipality were selected as samples. For those with a 20 percent sampling rate, systematic cluster sampling was adopted. That is, sample selection of one in five clusters with the first cluster selected at random. Thus in effect, the EAs belonging to the city/municipality with 20 percent sampling rate are divided into clusters of size 5. Random start is pre-determined for each EA.
If the sampling rate applied to a city/municipality is 100 percent, it means that all households in that municipality were administered with CPH Form 3. If it is 20 percent, it means that 20 percent of all households used CPH Form 3 while 80 percent used CPH Form 2.
The random start used by EA is a number from 1 to 5 which was used to select the cluster where the first sample households in an EA, and subsequently the other sample households, were included.
Clusters are formed by grouping together households that have been assigned consecutive serial numbers as they were listed in the Listing Booklet. For a 20 percent sampling rate, clusters were formed by grouping together five households.

Data collection supervision
I. SUPERVISION
The NSO Central and Field Office personnel directly supervised the conduct of enumeration. In the region, the Regional Director and his/her staff were responsible for field visits in their respective provinces. At the provincial level, the Provincial Statistics Officer and his/her staff were responsible for supervision in cities/municipalities and barangays in their respective jurisdiction.
Aside from the NSO personnel, hired personnel were also tapped to augment supervisory functions. In a city/municipality, close field supervision was the responsibility of the Census Area Supersivor assigned in the area. On the average, the Census Area Supervisor (CAS) was required to supervise seven Team Supervisor (TS). Aside from CAS, the Assistant Census Area Supervisor (ACAS) was also assigned to assist the CAS in checking for the completeness of the enumeration area. On the other hand, as a general rule, a TS was assigned to supervise five ENs. For a city/municipality with less than five enumerators (ENs), the CAS/ACAS shall act as the TS.
II. PROGRESS MONITORING SYSTEM
The Progress Monitoring System (PMS) is designed to provide the required information for monitoring the progress of enumeration and for evaluating the completeness/quality of census results. Preparation of reports and documents comprising the PM operation started with the enumerators (ENs) through their accomplishment of CPH Form 10 (EN's Accomplishment/Progress Monitoring Report), which was based on the information from CPH Form 1 that were already consistently checked with CPH Forms 2 and 3. The accomplished CPH Forms 10 were submitted from EN to team supervisor (TS), then to Assistant Census Area Supervisor (ACAS). From ACAS, the data from CPH Form 10 were sent to the CO through Short Message Service (SMS) or text messaging. The CO compiled the PM text messages received for generation of PMS reports. These reports were used by PO and RO to monitor the progress of enumeration.
III. RE-INTERVIEW AND SPOTCHECKING
NSO Central and Field Office Personnel were required to carry out re-interview of households and conduct spotchecking. CAS, ACAS, TS were likewise required to carry out re-interview and spotchecking. The CPH Form 12 - Re-interview/Spot-check Record was used in checking whether the interview was done properly and that the data gathered met the standards set by the office. The first page of CPH Form 12 consists of data items to be accomplished during re-interview while the second page consists observation checklist and evaluation based on entire observation.
The purpose of re-interview was to ensure that no household nor household member was missed on the enumeration. The households selected for re-interview were those with CPH Form 6 - Notice of Listing and in hidden structures or areas which are likely to have been missed. Using CPH Form 12, all household members were listed and the following data items were also asked: relationship to household head, sex, age, birth registration, and marital status. The information on accomplished CPH Forms 12 were compared against those of the EN's accomplished CPH Form 2 or 3. Any inconsistencies found by the supervisors were discussed with the concern EN for correction.
Through spot-checking, ENs were observed if they did the procedures on the following activities correctly:
- canvassing
- mapping
- listing
- interviewing
- closing of interview (reviewing completed questionnaire, thanking the respondent, posting of CPH Form 6)
IV. WEEKLY MEETINGS OF ENUMERATORS AND SUPERVISORS
In order to ensure that the ENs performed their functions well, a weekly meeting with their supervisors was done to discuss problems encountered in the conduct of census and for the supervisors to review the accomplished questionnaires before submitting these questionnaires to the NSO Field Office.

EVALUATION OF POPULATION COUNTS FROM THE 2010 CPH
Progress monitoring reports were utilized to track the progress of census field operations and to evaluate the completeness of census coverage in each enumeration area while the enumeration was still ongoing. The provincial, regional, and central offices of NSO monitored the progress through the Progress Monitoring System (PMS). It used as inputs the Enumerator's Accomplishment/PM Reports (CPH Form 10). The evaluation continued after the enumeration period using counts from processed questionnaires from the twelve Census Processing Centers 2010 (CPC 2010) across the country.
Evaluation of Counts at the NSO Field Offices
The Regional Office (RO) was responsible for the evaluation of the 2010 CPH counts for the region while the Provincial Office (PO) was responsible for the province. The computerized reporting through the PMS facilitated the evaluation at the PO and the RO. The PMS generated various reports which include the Enumeration Area (EA) Progress Enumeration Report (PMS Report 3). This report shows the counts of population of males and females and number of households by EA and the status of enumeration in each EA or barangay based on the information from CPH Form 10. Another PMS report generated at the PO is the Barangay Coverage Report (PMS Report 4). This report was used to evaluate the acceptability of the reported counts for the following indicators, computed up to the barangay level:
a. Household and population counts
b. Demographic indicators
· Annual population growth rate
· Percent change in the number of households
· Average household size
c. Difference between 2010 and 2007 institutional population
d. Number and percent of EAs completed
The field offices investigated areas with demographically implausible growth rates and questionable values in any of the cited indicators.
Evaluation at the Central Office
Parallel monitoring and evaluation were done at the Central Office particularly at the Household Statistics Department (HSD). The information used for the evaluation by HSD were:
a. 2010 CPH counts up to the barangay level generated through PMS;
b. 2010 CPH counts up to the barangay level from the Enumeration Area Reference File (EARF) filled up with population counts by the Provincial Offices after matching and completeness checking of census questionnaires during the manual processing;
c. 2010 CPH counts up to the barangay level generated by CPCs;
d. average annual population growth rates for the provinces and cities/municipalities for the periods 1990-1995, 1995-2000, 2000-2007, 1990-2000, 1995-2007, 2000-2010 and for all geographic levels, that is, including barangay level, for the period 2007-2010;
e. sex ratio for the provinces and cities/municipalities for the year 2007, and for all geographic levels for the year 2010;
f. average household size for all geographic levels for the years 2000, 2007, and 2010;
g. percent change of population between census years 2000 and 2007, 2000 and 2010, and 2007 and 2010 for all geographic levels; and
h. difference in the total population, household population, and number of households between census years 2000 and 2007, 2000 and 2010, and 2007 and 2010 for all geographic levels.
Below are other sources of information used as inputs for the extrapolation of population for 2010. Results of extrapolation were compared with the population counts from 2010 CPH.
a. vital registration data on annual births and deaths and estimates of levels of registration based on 2000 CPH and POPCEN 2007, for the provinces and cities/municipalities;
b. number of housing units based on satellite images, for selected provinces and cities/municipalities; and
c. administrative records on membership of households in the community water or electric cooperatives, for selected provinces and cities/municipalities.
Acceptable or demographically plausible values for the abovementioned indicators, as well as the expected direction of their changes over time are specified in the Field Operations Manual of 2010 CPH (pages 133-134). The demographic indicators for each geographic area were evaluated using the procedures also contained in the Field Operations Manual. Explanations were sought if a particular indicator fell outside the acceptable range of values, or if the observed change in the indicator deviates from the expected demographic trend. The RO submitted to the CO the explanations of the POs in his/her region for areas with census results that were considered questionable by the CO based on its independent evaluation.
A more thorough procedure of evaluation was employed for barangays suspected of having census under-coverage or over-coverage. Careful scrutiny of questionnaires for these barangays was carried out following the procedures discussed in pages 135-136 of the Field Operations Manual. In extreme cases wherein the result of the scrutiny of questionnaires confirmed that under-enumeration or padding or fabrication of population was committed, field verification became necessary. Teams composed of Statisticians from the CO, the PSOs and Statisticians of concerned provinces conducted field verification in areas suspected of having been under-enumerated or over-enumerated.
Progress monitoring reports were utilized to track the progress of census field operations and to evaluate the completeness of census coverage in each enumeration area while the enumeration was still ongoing. The provincial, regional, and central offices of NSO monitored the progress through the Progress Monitoring System (PMS). It used as inputs the Enumerator's Accomplishment/PM Reports (CPH Form 10). The evaluation continued after the enumeration period using counts from processed questionnaires from the twelve Census Processing Centers 2010 (CPC 2010) across the country.
Evaluation of Counts at the NSO Field Offices
The Regional Office (RO) was responsible for the evaluation of the 2010 CPH counts for the region while the Provincial Office (PO) was responsible for the province. The computerized reporting through the PMS facilitated the evaluation at the PO and the RO. The PMS generated various reports which include the Enumeration Area (EA) Progress Enumeration Report (PMS Report 3). This report shows the counts of population of males and females and number of households by EA and the status of enumeration in each EA or barangay based on the information from CPH Form 10. Another PMS report generated at the PO is the Barangay Coverage Report (PMS Report 4). This report was used to evaluate the acceptability of the reported counts for the following indicators, computed up to the barangay level:
a. Household and population counts
b. Demographic indicators
· Annual population growth rate
· Percent change in the number of households
· Average household size
c. Difference between 2010 and 2007 institutional population
d. Number and percent of EAs completed
The field offices investigated areas with demographically implausible growth rates and questionable values in any of the cited indicators.
Evaluation at the Central Office
Parallel monitoring and evaluation were done at the Central Office particularly at the Household Statistics Department (HSD). The information used for the evaluation by HSD were:
a. 2010 CPH counts up to the barangay level generated through PMS;
b. 2010 CPH counts up to the barangay level from the Enumeration Area Reference File (EARF) filled up with population counts by the Provincial Offices after matching and completeness checking of census questionnaires during the manual processing;
c. 2010 CPH counts up to the barangay level generated by CPCs;
d. average annual population growth rates for the provinces and cities/municipalities for the periods 1990-1995, 1995-2000, 2000-2007, 1990-2000, 1995-2007, 2000-2010 and for all geographic levels, that is, including barangay level, for the period 2007-2010;
e. sex ratio for the provinces and cities/municipalities for the year 2007, and for all geographic levels for the year 2010;
f. average household size for all geographic levels for the years 2000, 2007, and 2010;
g. percent change of population between census years 2000 and 2007, 2000 and 2010, and 2007 and 2010 for all geographic levels; and
h. difference in the total population, household population, and number of households between census years 2000 and 2007, 2000 and 2010, and 2007 and 2010 for all geographic levels.
Below are other sources of information used as inputs for the extrapolation of population for 2010. Results of extrapolation were compared with the population counts from 2010 CPH.
a. vital registration data on annual births and deaths and estimates of levels of registration based on 2000 CPH and POPCEN 2007, for the provinces and cities/municipalities;
b. number of housing units based on satellite images, for selected provinces and cities/municipalities; and
c. administrative records on membership of households in the community water or electric cooperatives, for selected provinces and cities/municipalities.
Acceptable or demographically plausible values for the abovementioned indicators, as well as the expected direction of their changes over time are specified in the Field Operations Manual of 2010 CPH (pages 133-134). The demographic indicators for each geographic area were evaluated using the procedures also contained in the Field Operations Manual. Explanations were sought if a particular indicator fell outside the acceptable range of values, or if the observed change in the indicator deviates from the expected demographic trend. The RO submitted to the CO the explanations of the POs in his/her region for areas with census results that were considered questionable by the CO based on its independent evaluation.
A more thorough procedure of evaluation was employed for barangays suspected of having census under-coverage or over-coverage. Careful scrutiny of questionnaires for these barangays was carried out following the procedures discussed in pages 135-136 of the Field Operations Manual. In extreme cases wherein the result of the scrutiny of questionnaires confirmed that under-enumeration or padding or fabrication of population was committed, field verification became necessary. Teams composed of Statisticians from the CO, the PSOs and Statisticians of concerned provinces conducted field verification in areas suspected of having been under-enumerated or over-enumerated.
