Chief Statistical Specialist

The quest of Philippine Statistics Authority- Al-

bay Provincial Office for 2017 is, indeed, a break-

through. It was a testament that it takes more than

effort and perseverance to achieve success. It takes

in yielding worthy triumphs to deliver solid, responsive,

and world- class service.

In 2017, PSA Albay humbly earned its utmost

feat, the successful pursuit of earning the ISO

9001:2015 Certification, which came from the team-

work and heavy labor of Philippine Statistics Authority;

thus, of the PSA Albay team. Also, we were awarded as

the 14th Place in the Provincial Category and 2nd Place

in Partnership and Linkages Provincial Category in the

2017 Field Awards. Moreover, looking back to more

achievements and accomplishments of PSA Albay, we

gladly provide you our 2017 Annual Report - a genuine

documentation on how we dedicatedly fulfilled our mis-

sion in bringing statistical and civil Registration service

and awareness through statistical operations, information dissemination, partnership and linkages,

Labor Force Survey

The Labor Force Survey (LFS) is a na-

tionwide quarterly survey of household con-

ducted by Philippine Statistics Authority

(PSA) to gather data on the demographic

and socio-economic characteristics of the

population. This survey aims to provide a

quantitative framework for the preparation

of plans and formulation of policies affecting

the labor market.

The survey is conducted quarterly

during the months of January, April, July

and October. For the province of Albay , a

total of 1,704 sample households were inter-

viewed and processed by the office. As

shown in Table 1, the province recorded the

highest response rate of 94.83 during the

month of April. While the lowest response

rate was obtained last October 2017.

2017 Annual Poverty

Indicator

Survey (APIS)

The 2017 Annual Poverty Indicator

Survey (APIS) is a nationwide survey con-

ducted for years when the Family Income

and Expenditure Survey (FIES) are not

conducted. The APIS is primarily designed

to provide non-income indicators related

to poverty at the national level. The survey

is the source of data on family income that

serve as inputs in the computation of first

semester poverty incidence and poverty

threshold at the national level.

For the APIS 2017, only one repli-

cate was covered for enumeration. Thus,

the province has a total workload of 97

sample households . To augment the man-

power requirement, three (3) Statistical

Researchers were hired to conduct enu-

meration.

All accomplished questionnaires

were manually processed at PO and were

submitted to RSSO V. The narrative report

( in PDF) on the APIS operation was sub-

mitted to C.O. and RSSO on August

15 ,2017.

In addition to the APIS as rider sur-

vey to July 2018 LFS, a subsample for

APIS 2017 were selected wherein Water

Quality Test (WQT) Module questionnaire

was administered and water quality test-

ing was conducted. A total of 18 sample

households were enumerated for the prov-

ince conducted by RSSO V staff.

Household-based

2017 Survey of

Overseas Filipinos

(SOF)

The 2017 Survey of Overseas Filipi-

nos (SOF) is a rider-survey in the conduct

of October 2017 Labor Force Survey

(LFS). The survey gathered information

on the Filipinos, including overseas work-

ers who left abroad during the five years

preceding the survey that was October

2012 to September 2017. Sample house-

holds were the same samples for the Oc-

tober 2017 round of LFS.

A total of 31 SOF Form 1 were pro-

cessed from 24 PSUs. Manual and ma-

chine processing were conducted in the

provincial office. Clean data files were

submitted on December 13, 2016, way

ahead from the deadline on January 8,

2017.

Household-based

Farm Price Survey

(FPS)

Farmgate Price is price received by farmers, livestock and poultry rais-

ers for the sale of their produce, at the first point of sale, net of freight cost.

The main objective of FPS is to generate estimates on farmgate prices of

major agricultural commodities, to measure the purchasing power of growers

of selected agricultural products, analyze the seasonal trends and variations in

agricultural prices, to assist policy makers in the formulation, implementation

and administration of economic programs. These also guide farmers/ raisers in

their decision making relative to their agricultural activities geared towards im-

provement of their profitability.

The survey is conducted monthly during the last ten (10) days of the

month; quarterly for commercial hogs and chicken layers; and semi – annually

for commercial cattle.

Average farm gate price of abaca, eggplant, camote, coconut and sugar

cane increased form 2016 to 2017. A remarkable increase of farm price was

exhibited by abaca and sugar cane. On the other hand, there was a slight de-

crease in price of tomato form 2016 to 2017 and the price of cassava re-

mained for the two-year period.

Palay and Corn Stock

Survey (PCSS I)

The PCSS1 is a monthly survey which produces estimates of the current

stocks of rice and corn in farming and non-farming households. The survey is con-

ducted in the first four (4) days of the month with the 1st day of the month as the

reference period. It makes use of one (1) replicate of the PCPS, with the barangay

as the primary sampling unit and the household as the secondary sampling unit.

However, for purposes of PCSS1, additional five (5) non-farming households in

each sample barangay are selected during field operations using simple random

sampling. The information being collected are the palay, rice, corngrain and corn-

grits stocks held in the households as of 6:00 a.m. of the 1st day of the month. In

coming up with the estimates of rice and corn stocks, palay and corngrits are con-

verted into rice and corngrain equivalents, respectively.

The objective of the survey is to generate estimates on current stock of rice

and corn in farming and non-farming households. The data generated from the

Household-based

• serve as input in the analysis of the seasonal trends and variations in the supply of rice and corn;

• serve as input for forecasting future supply and demand of palay and corn; and

• assist policy-makers in the formulation, implementation and admin-istration of agricultural economic programs.

Data collection for this survey is done during the first four (4) days of the

month. Strict adherence to the data collection schedule is required to minimize

memory bias and to come up with the palay/ rice and corn stock estimates at the

earliest possible time. For the province of Albay, there were 10 palay and corn

farming barangays selected from the PCPS, a total of 196 farming households

and 100 non-farming households.

Palay and Corn Production Survey

(PCPS)

The Palay Production Survey (PPS) is one of the major agricultural surveys conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). This generates estimates and forecasts on palay production, area and yield and other production-related data that serve as inputs for policy making and programs on palay/rice. It is one of the two modules of the PCPS, the other one being the Corn Production Survey (CPS).

The Palay Production Survey (PPS) is a quarterly survey which covers sam-ple farming households in sample barangays in 79 provinces except Batanes in-cluding Zamboanga City and Davao City. For the province of Albay,20 palay ba-rangays (204 households) and 20 corn barangays (172 households) were sur-veyed for each quarter of the year. Figure 2 shows the trend of production of Palay and Corn in Albay for 2017.

In 1st Quarter, total palay production was recorded at 44, 492 metric tons. It in-

creased to 59,897 metric tons or 34.62% in from 1st quarter to 2nd Quarter. A

drop in 3rd quarter for about 35.39%, or 21,200 metric tons difference then it grad-

ually increased to 61,738 equivalent to 59.54% increase rate.

Monthly Palay and Corn Situation

Reporting System (MPCSRS)

Household-based

The MPCSRS primarily aims to:

Update the estimate of the current quarter

based on standing crop and forecast for the

next quarter based on planting intention;

and

Provide monthly updates on area and pro-

duction of palay and corn across the coun-

try.

The MPCSRS is conducted monthly, in between

the PCPS rounds, during February, March,

May, June, August, September, and November

covering all provinces except Batanes but in-

cluding Zamboanga City and Davao City.

It covers sample farming households in sample

barangays from one (1) replicate of the PCPS.

PCPS employs the replicated two-staged strat-

ified sampling design with the barangays as

the Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) and farming

household as the Secondary Sampling Unit

(SSU). Albay province had a total of 105 house-

holds – 10 palay farming barangays and 10

corn farming barangays.

The data gathered from Palay Production Survey (PPS) and Corn Production

Survey (CPS) includes actual harvests for the current period and forecasts for the

next quarters based on standing crop and planting intentions. Forecast data are sub-

ject to changes depending on weather conditions, inputs and outputs, prices and

other factors which contribute largely to the deviations of the actual data from the

early forecasts. In such case, a close monitoring of the growing conditions and actu-

al plantings of the crop is deemed necessary. This is done through the Monthly Palay

and Corn Situation Reporting System (MPCSRS).

20

Crops Production Survey

(CrPS)

The CrPS generates basic statistics on area, number of bearing trees for fruits,

vegetable and root crops, and non–food/ commercial and industrial crops. The generat-

ed statistical data will be used in planning, policy formulation, and program

development of other agencies, academe, agribusiness sector, cooperatives and indi-

vidual involved in crop farming. Data collection is done every last 10 days of the month

of the reference quarter on a quarterly basis.

Household-based

In 2017, eggplant production escalates from 2,627.68 of 2016 to 2680.72. For tomato production, from 1095.22 of 2016 it increased to 1,101.11. Camote production recorded an increase of about 2.88 % or 39,394.03 from 2016 to 40,560.38 in 2017. A flop in cassava production will be noticed, from 17,000.14 in 2016 to 15,545.40 in 2017 or 8.56% decrease rate.

In 2017 abaca production decreased to 1,354.45 metric ton from 1,478.28 met-ric ton in 2016. Coconut production increased in 2017, from 109,055.15 metric ton in 2016 to 111, 905.47 metric ton or about 2.61% increase rate. Sugarcane production also increased in 2017, from 16,474.59 metric tons in 2016 it increased to 17,298.32 or 5% increase rate.

Backyard Livestock and Poultry Survey (BLPS)

Backyard Livestock and Poultry Survey (BLPS)

aims to generate data on the supply and disposition of

livestock and poultry commodities from backyard farms.

It also aims to generate information on the existing live-

stock and poultry inventory in the farm; number of born

live by the female breeder; disposition of livestock and

poultry by intention; and chicken and duck egg produc-

tion. The data from this survey will serve as guide for the

government and private sector in making plans and deci-

sions with respect to farm production and improvement

of livestock and poultry industry.

In Albay a total of 260 sample households with 160

farming and 100 Non–Farming households were covered.

The BLPS is done quarterly for swine and chicken, while data collection for cara-

bao, goat, duck, and other animals/ birds is conducted semi-annually. Survey operation

is undertaken every seven (7) days of the month after the reference period.

Quarterly Inland Fisheries Survey (QIFS)

This survey covers operations involving all forms of raising and culturing of fish

and other fishery species in marine, brackish and freshwater under controlled condi-

tions. The survey generates data on quarterly volume and value of aquaculture pro-

duction by province.

This survey was done quarterly on the 3rd week of March, June, September,

and November 2017. The province’s workload in 2017 for this survey included the fol-

lowing: 10 sample respondents for brackish fishpond; 13 respondents for fresh

water fishpond; three (3) respondents for fresh water cage; and three (3) respond-

Quarterly Aquaculture Survey (QAqS)

This survey covers inland fishing household and generate data on volume and

value of species. Data on catch from rivers, lakes, swamps, creeks, dams, reser-

voirs, and other bodies of water are collected from households where there is one or

more member/s engaged in inland fishing.

This survey was conducted quarterly on the 3rd week of March, June, Septem-

ber, and November 2017 to one (1) sample barangay with 10 respondents.

Quarterly Municipal Fisheries Survey (QMFS)

This survey covers fishing oper-

ations carried out without the use of

boat or the use of boat of three (3)

gross tons or less.

This survey was done quarterly

on the 3rd week of March, June, Sep-

tember, and November 2017 to 10

sample barangays with 10 respond-

ents for each barangay. Thus, a total

of 100 respondents in the province of

Albay.

For the year 2017, fisheries production in Albay increased from 22,052.49 metric tons

to 22,855 metric tons. A 3.64 percentage increase was noted due to increased fishing

activities in commercial and municipal fishing sectors in the 3rd and 4th quarter of the

year. This was attributed to generally good weather that favors fishing in the open

seas.

The Agricultural Labor Survey (ALS) is one of the regular surveys conducted on a

semi – annual. The survey aims to generate estimates of average wage rates of agricul-

tural farm workers, specifically for the four (4) major crops: palay, corn, coconut and

sugarcane. This is to establish basis of computing the average wage in agriculture and

determine the national and regional averages and variations on wage rate by type of la-

Batch Request System (BREQS)

The BREQS is scheme where PSA authorizer a partner to receive requests

of PSA –issued copies and certification of civil registry docments from the public

and issue the same to the clientele. The actual processing of the request is done by

the Serbilis– Outlet assigned to serve the authorized partner (called BREQS User).

This request system is being implemented for the purpose of decongesting the vol-

ume of requesting public in the Serbilis-Outlet. This is also one way of bringing ser-

vice closer to the people.

Seven (7) out of 18 LGUs of Albay were BREQS users in 2017. This is about

39 percent of the local government units (cities and/ or municipalities) in the prov-

ince.

The Philippine Statistics Authority

(PSA) is accountable to uphold aware-

ness to its clients and stakeholders with

timely and accurate pieces of vital infor-

mation on Statistics and Civil Registra-

ous ways to liaise the most recent up-

dates on Statistics and Civil Registration

Throughout 2017, PSA Albay con-

ducted twenty-nine (29) episodes of ra-

dio program “ Aranduyog sa Pag-
