00:00The Philippine Statistics Authority launched the 2024 Population Census and Community-Based Monitoring System today.
00:09This is in accordance with the order of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to update the latest population of Filipinos
00:19and the number of beneficiaries of social protection programs of the government with the help of CBMS.
00:26This is important to ensure that the number of beneficiaries of government programs against poverty is brought to the right level.
00:35According to PSAU Sec. Dennis Mapa, the data collected by the agency will be based on plans, programs, and policies
00:45related to education, health, work, housing, and economic growth.
00:51The PSA was able to deploy 70,000 enumerators to collect and gather information on POPCEN and CBMS.
01:01The PSA is reminding the enumerators to check the IDs and uniforms to avoid any mistakes.
01:10The enumerators are prohibited from asking for confidential information related to bank account numbers.
01:17They are also not authorized to ask for money or to sell.
01:21We had a census of the population in September 2020. Again, at the height of the pandemic, we saw that we had an internal migration.
01:32Now that they have returned, we need to update.
01:36The Philippine Statistics Authority is encouraging our fellow Filipinos to participate in the census.
01:46Failure or refusal to participate or to provide accurate information may result in penalties.
01:51You may face imprisonment of a period of one year and a fine of 100,000 pesos.
