The PSA-Sultan Kudarat Province celebrated PSA’s 5th

Year Anniversary in very meaningful way. To

commemorate its 5th year, it initiated an activity which

brings the Office closer to the hearts of the people. The

staff visited on September 12, 2018 Purok Masunurin in Barangay Busok, Bagumbayan, one of the

remotest areas of the province. To reach the area, the staff had to travel on foot another kilometer

as the village is not accessible by four-wheeled motor vehicles due to its rough rugged and

mountainous terrain.

The staff distributed some kilos of rice, noodles, sardines plus some used clothes to the indigent

families residing at the foot of the mountain.

Though tired, the staff felt some sense of fulfillment. Seeing the condition of the marginalized

population increased the staff’s sense of commitment and dedication as public servants. The

celebration was very simple yet meaningful.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a major

statistical series used for economic analysis

and as a monitoring indicator of government

economic policy. It is also used to adjust other

economic series for price changes. Another

major importance is its use as a basis to adjust

wages in labor management contracts as well as

pensions and retirement benefits. Increases in

wages through collective bargaining

agreements use the CPI as one of their bases.

The general public is provided with monthly

price movements of commodities and services

at the national, regional and provincial levels.

The OWS is a nationwide establishment- based survey conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). This survey aims to monitor the wage rates of low paid occupations in non- agricultural industries. The data will be used to generate wage estimates in aid to minimum wage determination.

This survey aims to provide statistics on industry trends and practices, and serve as the bases for the formulation of labor policies.

The OWS/ISLE distribution and collection of questionnaires commenced on September 17 until December 28, 2018. The province has a total of thirty (30) sample establishments from different sector of industries such as (1) agriculture; (2) manufacturing; (3) electricity; (4) water supply; (5) construction; (6) wholesale and retail trade; (7) human health activities; (8) education and ; (9) accommodation and food service activities.

Geotagging of building structures is one of the major activities of the PSA since 2017. The conduct of the 2018 geotagging activity is a component of the continuous rolling scheme for the updating PSA maps in preparation for the 2020 Census of Population. The main purpose of conducting this activity is to identify and mark building structures as points in the digitized maps and to attribute these buildings with pertinent geographical information useful for the various statistical surveys and censuses of the PSA. There were several problems encountered in the field that caused the delay of the geotagging activity:1) Peace and Order problems which put the safety of the Map Data Collectors (MDCs) at stake resulting to the backing out of some MDCs; 2) the various bombings in Isulan aggravated the fear of MDCs for their safety further slowing down the geotagging of the survey; 3) Households also were hesitant to divulge some personal information to the MDCs as they fear of their security; 4) Bad Weather Condition; 5) Hard- to- reach areas posed a constraint in achieving the required standard output of 150 HHs due to the rough terrain and 6) low-power specs tablets; tablets hang-up/system stopped while on the field.

Though the standard output was lowered to 100 HHs, this is still difficult to achieve for Sultan Province in view of its terrain and other surrounding circumstances like peace and order problems. The number of MDCs approved for the province was not adequate to deliver the required outputs on time. The province hired and trained additional MDCs to beef up the existing MDCs but this was already done in the latter stage of the survey.

There were also assistance given by LGU-Barangays to some MDCs such as guide/transportation/gasoline allowance to reach the remotest part of the barangay. Some MDCs were provided with food and accommodation by some sample LGUs.

As of December 31, 2018, Field Data Gathering/Downloading and Geo-referencing of

images reached to 50.30 percent out of the total 503 EAs as workload of the province for 2018. As per number of buildings geo-tagged, PSA-SK’s accomplishment was 61.96 percent.
