CBMS identifies barangays in four 5th class towns in Siquijor
All fifth class municipalities, namely San Juan, Larena, Enrique Villanueva and Maria in Siquijor provine are included in the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) with the selected barangays which are enough to represent the poverty statistics of each municipality. The operations of these four municipalities are PSAfunded. The Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS), an organized technology-based system of collecting, processing, and validating necessary disaggregated data at the local level, will be implemented this August 2022 in approximately 600 cities and municipalities in our country. This is led by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) under Republic Act (RA) No. 11315 or the CBMS Act, in partnership with the Local Government Units (LGUs). The CBMS aims to reach every single household to interview them about their demographic and socio-economic
infobits
characteristics and other information related to their health, nutrition, housing structure, access to clean water and toilets, education, literacy, community participation, employment and livelihood and peace and order in their community. This information will serve as metrics or indicators of the living conditions of households and communities in this country. In cities and municipalities participating CBMS this year, there are hired field personnel such as enumerators or data collectors, team supervisors and area supervisors who will go around and go door-to-door in each community to conduct the said interview. The field personnel are required to undergo eight days of training on CBMS concepts, appropriate questioning or interviewing methods, and the use of computer applications for house-to-house interviews. In initiating the actual collection of information on households, the CBMS field personnel must first make a courtesy call to the barangay government office to obtain the endorsement of the barangay captain to conduct CBMS in their area.

Gathering of information is done through Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI). This is a face-to-face interview or personal interview with a responsible member of the household using a questionnaire on a tablet. In exceptional cases, Paper and Pencil Interviewing (PAPI) will be the process of obtaining information from the expected respondents. Data from the CBMS will be used as a basis for: 1) analysis of the real economic situation of households in our country; 2) the local governments and the national government to make appropriate plans and programs to alleviate poverty in our country; and 3) determining the eligible beneficiaries for the various social protection programs of the government. Everyone is invited to participate for the successful implementation of CBMS starting August 08, this year. (RSSO07 PSA)

In view of the start of classes of educational institutions for SY 2022-2023 this August, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Siquijor Provincial Statistical Office is set to start the institutional registration for the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) in schools in collaboration with the Department of Education (DepEd), Division of Siquijor. In its press release, the PSA said its partnership with DepEd supports the goal of registering children aged five years old and over, teachers, administrative staff, and their family members within school premises. “Drawing light from the pandemic, this set-up provides students
and teac her s with c onvenienc e, accessibility, and safety by reducing the need to go to the registration center to complete Step 2 Registration or the capturing demographic data and a complete set of biometric information such as fingerprints, iris scans, and a front-facing photograph of the target registrants,” the PSA said. All applicants are required to bring at least two original and valid identifications (IDs) or suppor ting documents. Only Certified True Copy (CTC) of vital civil registry documents such as Certificate of Live Birth (COLB), Certificate of Marriage (COM), and Certificate of Death (COD) issued by the Local Civil Registry Office and Sharia Circuit Registrar are accepted.
PSA also reminds the public that registration for PhilSys and delivery of the Philld cards are free of charge as mandated by RA 11055. All registration operations conducted within school premises are in line with the terms and conditions set by DepEd to ensure safe and efficient registration experience for the registrants. Meanwhile, to bring the registration experience closer to the farflung barangays, PSA has established continued partnership with the local government units (LGUS) across the six municipalities in the province. With their unwavering support and assistance, PhilSys Registration Team (PRT) continues to conduct mobile registration to reach out to the most vulnerable groups, such as the less fortunate, persons with disabilities (PWDs), senior citizens, and those living in geographically isolated barangays for a smoother and more convenient registration. Strict implementation of minimum health and safety protocols are firmly observed in the conduct of mobile and institutional registration. All PhilSys personnel strictly adhere to health and safety protocols set by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) such as social distancing, administration of health survey forms, checking of applicants/personnel body temperature, wearing of personal protective equipment (PPE), disinfection of equipment, barriers, chairs, and common use supplies, among others. For latest information on PhilSys, visit the official PhilSys website www. philsys.gov.ph or Facebook page www. facebook.com/PSAPhilSysOfficial.

Gitahasan ni Presidente Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., (PBBM) ang Department of Tourism ug Department of Public Works and Highways sa pagtambabayong aron himoong hanoy ang pagbyahe sa mga turista ngadto sa mga hilit nga lugar nga gibuksan alang sa mga turista. Didto sa iyang labing una nga State of the Nation Address (SONA) didto sa Batasang Pambansa Hulyo 25, gipadayag sa anak sa kanhi presidente nga kinahanglan gayud nga himoan sa mga batakan nga kaugmaran sama sa pagpakutay sa mga dalan aron mapasayon ang pagsulod ngadto sa mga tourism spots. Magpa-upgrade usab sa mga tugpahahan ug magpabarug og dugang international airports aron maluagan ang naghuot nga Manila Airport, matud sa Presidente. Niining tanan, mahimo na nga mas hamogaway sa mga ningbyahe ang pagsuroy libot sa nasud , bisan na sa mga hilit nga lugar aron ikapakita ang mga tourist spots nga wala pa mapasundayag sa kadaghanan. “This program will be led by
the Department of Tourism, together with the Department of Public Works and Highways,” saysay sa Presidente kinsa miani og daghang pakpak sa iyang gilitok. Giila usab ang Pinoy nga usa ka maayo nga brand, dugang niya. “As for the Filipino brand, ours is deeply rooted in our rich cultural heritage and the tourism sector plays an invaluable role in the promotion of the Filipino brand.” Kini nga kinaiya nakita-an na nga usa ka alas sa turismo. Ug dayag sa Presidente, ang turismo dili lamang mahinongdanon nga agi-anan sa pag-ugmad, apan sa ang daghan nga kahigayunan nga iyang mabuksan ilabi na sa pagpasugod og mga panginabuhian ilabi na sa mga kabarangayan, dili gyud mahimong hikalimtan. Ug aron sa pagpakayab sa kinaiyang garbo sa mga Pilipino, kinahanglang kini kahatagan og kahigayunan nga ikapadayag kay ang kinaiyang Pilipinhon, talagsaon, makapaagni ug mamugnaon, saysay niya. Dugang sa president, ang p a g k a m a u g n a o n s a P i n o y, d i l i hingtupngan.
Hawod kita sa arte ug kultura, new media, pasundayag — kini mga agi-anan nga makapasugod og mga daghang trabaho alang sa atong mga may abilidad ug mamugnaon nga kaigsoonan, apan, subo nga kini nga mga kapanarbahona, ang unang naapektoah sa pandemya, ug possible nga labing uwahing mahibalik sa normal. Ang industriya sa pagkamamugnaon usab , nagsagubang sa daghang hagit lakip na ang kahimtang sa mga panarbahoan, oras sa trabaho, pag-ilog sa mga katungod sa orihinal nga mugna, u gang mga katungod sa mga wala’y amo nga nabiyaan nga nasuyop sa lilo sa kalisud niadtong panahon sa pandemya. Aron kini sila kapanalipdan sa mga hulga nga magpapas sa ilang kapanginabuhian, misugyot ang pangulo nga mugnaon ang napahimutang sa institusyon nga creative industry nga maoy mopaasdang sa interes sa mga nanginabuhi dinhi, kay, kon hunahunaon, matud pa ni Marcos, sila ang naghatag sa kalag ug pagila sa atong pagka Pinoy, mao nga kinahanglang panalipdan nato sila, paambit sa panahom niya.

Balik hanapbuhay at balik kaunlaran,”pahayag pa ni Marcos. Gipahinumdoman usab niini ang pampublikong transportasyon nga seguradohon nga mapatuman ang minimum health ug safety protocols sa ilang nagkadaiyang sakyanan.
