FOREWORD
The 2010 Census of Population and Housing (2010 CPH) Report No. 1 is one of
several publications designed to disseminate the results of the 2010 CPH. This report
presents the population by province, city or municipality and barangay based on the
2010 CPH. This information will be useful for the formulation of the social and economic
development policies, plans and programs of the Government. These are also important
for purposes of the calculation of Internal Revenue Allocation, determination of number
of congressional districts, and creation or conversion of various administrative
geographic units.
The 2010 CPH is the 13th census of population and the 6th census of housing that
was conducted in the country since the first census undertaken in 1903. It was designed
to take an inventory of the total population and housing units in the country and collect
information about their characteristics as of the reference period May 1, 2010.
The 2010 CPH data were gathered through house-to-house visit and interview of
a responsible member of every household visited. The data processing of the results of
the 2010 CPH utilized a combination of Optical Mark Reader (OMR) technology and
data encoding. The 2010 CPH results on population counts underwent careful
evaluation for reasonableness and consistency with expected demographic patterns
and trends in accordance with evaluation procedures of international standards.
Unusual changes and deviations of 2010 CPH population counts and related indicators
from expected patterns and trends were field-verified.
The successful completion of the 2010 CPH would not have been possible
without the unwavering support and services rendered by the local and national officials,
government and private agencies, media, and non-government organizations. We
acknowledge with gratitude the census coordinating boards at the national, regional,
provincial, city, and municipal levels in ensuring agency logistic support and assistance,
the dedication of teachers from the Department of Education, the hired census
personnel, and our very own NSO personnel who acted as census enumerators and
supervisors, and the cooperation of the general populace. The NSO extends its deep
appreciation of their support to this important undertaking.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Introduction
The National Statistics Office conducted the 2010 Census of Population and
Housing or 2010 CPH in May 2010. This is the 13th census of population and the 6th
census of housing undertaken in the country.
Like the previous censuses conducted by the office, the 2010 CPH is designed to
take an inventory of the total population and housing units in the Philippines and to
collect information about their characteristics.
Content and Coverage of this Report
In this report, the population counts by province, city/municipality and barangay

are presented. These population counts were declared official for all purposes by His
Excellency President Benigno S. Aquino III under Proclamation No. 362 dated March
30, 2012.
Authority to Conduct the 2010 CPH
Commonwealth Act (CA) No. 591, approved on August 19, 1940, authorized the
then Bureau of the Census and Statistics (now the National Statistics Office or NSO) to
collect by enumeration, sampling or other methods, statistics and other information
concerning the population and to conduct, for statistical purposes, investigations and
studies of social and economic conditions in the country, among others (Section 2 of CA
No. 591).
Batas Pambansa Blg. 72, approved on June 11, 1980, further accorded the NSO
the authority to conduct population censuses every ten years beginning in 1980, without
prejudice to the undertaking of special censuses on agriculture, industry, commerce,
housing, and other sectors as may be approved by the National Economic and
Development Authority (NEDA).
Executive Order (EO) No. 121, otherwise known as the Reorganization Act of the
Philippine Statistical System, which was issued on January 30, 1987, declared that the
NSO shall be the major statistical agency responsible for generating general purpose
statistics and for undertaking such censuses and surveys as may be designated by the
National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) (Section 9 of EO No. 121).
Presidential Proclamation No. 2028 “Declaring May 2010 as National Census

Month” enjoined all departments and other government agencies, including
government-owned and controlled corporations, as well as LGUs, to implement and
Explanatory Note 2010 Census of Population and Housing
execute the operational plans, directives, and orders of the National Statistical
Coordination Board (NSCB), through the NSO, relative to this Proclamation.
Coordination for the 2010 CPH
Batas Pambansa Blg. 72 provides that the National Census Coordinating Board
(NCCB) at the national level, and local boards at the regional, provincial, city, and
municipal levels shall be created to ensure the successful conduct of the census. For
the 2010 CPH, the NSCB was designated as the NCCB pursuant to NSCB’s mandated
function specified in Executive Order No. 121 to establish appropriate mechanisms for
statistical coordination at the different geographic levels.
The Director General of NEDA was the Chairperson of the NCCB, and the
Secretaries from other Departments were the Members. The NSO Administrator, who
served as the Executive Officer of the NCCB, was mandated to formulate and execute
plans for the 2010 CPH.
In the field, the NSO Regional Director (RD) was the Executive Officer of the
Regional Census Coordinating Board (RCCB). He/she was responsible for the
coordination, monitoring, and supervision of the census operations in all provinces
within the region. The RCCB was chaired by the Regional Director of the NEDA. The
Regional Director of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) served as
the Vice Chairperson. The members were the heads of the following: Regional
Development Council, National Statistics Coordination Board, Department of Agrarian
Reform, Department of Agriculture, Department of Education (DepEd), Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, Department of Finance, Department of Foreign
Affairs, Department of Justice, Department of Labor and Employment, Department of
National Defense, Department of Public Works and Highways, Department of Social
Welfare and Development, Department of Trade and Industry, Department of
Transportation and Communications, Department of Tourism, Department of Science
and Technology, Department of Health, Commission on Population, National
Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), and Office of Muslim Affairs. Completing
the membership of the RCCB was a representative from the private sector.
At the local government level, Provincial Census Coordinating Boards (PCCB)

and City/Municipality Census Coordinating Boards (C/MCCB) were created. The
Provincial Governor was the Chairperson of the PCCB and the Division Superintendent
of Schools, the Vice Chairperson. The District Highway Engineer, Provincial
Commander (PNP), Provincial Planning and Development Officer, Provincial Assessor,
Provincial Agriculturist, Provincial Population Officer, Provincial Environment and
Natural Resources Officer, Provincial Social Welfare and Development Officer,
Provincial Information Officer, NCIP Development Management Officer V, and three
representatives from the private sector served as members. The Provincial Statistics

Definition of Terms and Concepts
The operational definitions and concepts adopted in the 2010 CPH have also
been used in past censuses of population and housing. The use of the same
operational definitions of terms and concepts in our population and housing censuses
ensures comparability of census results. The 2010 CPH enumerators were instructed
to adhere strictly to these operational definitions.
Barangay
A barangay is the smallest political unit in the country. Generally, one enumerator
is assigned to enumerate one barangay. For enumeration purposes, a large barangay is
usually divided into parts, and each part is called an enumeration area (EA).
The official list of barangays of the DILG in the Philippine Standard Geographic
Code as of March 2010 was used for the 2010 CPH.
Enumeration Area
An enumeration area (EA) is a delineated geographic area usually consisting of

about 350 to 500 households. It could be an entire barangay or part of a barangay. It is
assigned to one enumerator.
Usual Place of Residence
All persons were enumerated in their usual place of residence which refers to the
geographic place (street, barangay, city/municipality or province) where the person
usually resides. As a rule, a person’s usual place of residence is the place where that
person sleeps most of the time. Hence, it may be the same as or different from the
place where he/she was found at the time of the census.
Household
A household is a social unit consisting of a person living alone or a group of

person who sleep in the same housing unit and have a common arrangement in the
preparation and consumption of food.
National Statistics Office xiii

In most cases, a household consists of persons who are related by kinship ties,
like parents and their children. In some instances, several generations of familial ties
are represented in one household while, still in others, even more distant relatives are
members of the household.
Household helpers, boarders, and nonrelatives are considered as members of

the household provided they sleep in the same housing unit and have common
arrangement for the preparation and consumption of food and do not usually go home
to their family at least once a week.
A person who shares a housing unit with a household but separately cooks
his/her meals or consumes his/her food elsewhere is not considered a member of the
household he/she shares the housing unit with. This person is listed as a separate
household.
Household Membership
In determining household membership, the basic criterion is the usual place of

residence or the place where the person usually resides. This may be the same or
different from the place where he/she is found at the time of the census. As a rule, it is
the place where he/she usually sleeps.
Household Population
Household population refers to all persons who are members of the household.
Institutional Living Quarter
An institutional living quarter (ILQ) is a structurally separate and independent

place of abode intended for habitation by large groups of individuals (10 or more). Such
quarter usually has certain common facilities such as kitchen and dining rooms, toilet
and bath, and lounging areas, which are shared by the occupants.
Institutional Population
An institutional population comprises of persons who are found living in ILQs.

They may have their own families or households elsewhere but at the time of census,
they are committed or confined in institutions, or they live in ILQs and are usually
subject to a common authority or management, or are bound by either a common public
objective or a common personal interest.
Whom to Enumerate
As in past population and housing censuses, enumerators of 2010 CPH were

provided with guidelines on whom to list as members of a household and institutional
population. This will ensure uniformity in determining household membership,
xiv National Statistics Office

institutional population, and in identifying persons to be included in the enumeration or

excluded from it. Furthermore, this will ensure that there is no omission or duplication in
the enumeration of persons and households during census-taking. The following are
the guidelines in determining household membership and institutional population:
Persons enumerated as members of the household
1. Those who are present at the time of visit and whose usual place of residence
is the housing unit where the household lives.
2. Family members who are 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.
An overseas worker is a household member who is currently out of the

country due to overseas employment. He/she may or may not have a specific
work contract or may be presently at home on vacation but has an existing
overseas employment to return to. Undocumented overseas workers, or TNT
for Tago Nang Tago, are considered as overseas workers for as long as they
are still considered members of the household and had been away for less
than five years. However, immigrants are excluded from the census.
3. Those whose usual place of residence is the place where the household lives
but are temporarily away at the time of the census for any of the following
reasons:
a. on vacation, business/pleasure trip, or training somewhere in the

Philippines and are expected to be back within six months from the date of
departure. An example is a person on training with the Armed Forces of
the Philippines for not more than six months;
b. on vacation, business/pleasure trip, or studying/training abroad and are
expected to be back within a year from the date of departure;
c. working or attending school in some other place but usually comes home
at least once a week;
d. confined in hospitals for a period of not more than six months as of May 1,
2010, except when they are confined as patients in mental hospitals,
leprosaria or leper colonies, or drug rehabilitation centers, regardless of
the duration of confinement;
e. detained in national/provincial/city/municipal jails or in military camps for a
period of not more than six months as of May 1, 2010, except when their
sentence or detention is expected to exceed six months;
f. on board coastal, interisland, or fishing vessels within Philippine territories;
and
g. on board in oceangoing vessels but are expected to be back within five
years from the date of departure.
National Statistics Office xv

4. Boarders/lodgers of the household or employees of household-operated

businesses who do not usually return/go to their respective homes weekly.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Persons temporarily staying with the household who have no usual place of
residence or who are not certain to be enumerated elsewhere.
Persons enumerated as members of the institutional population
1. Permanent lodgers in boarding houses;
2. Dormitory residents who do not usually go home to their respective

households at least once a week;
3. Hotel residents who have stayed in the hotel for more than six months at the
time of the census;
4. Boarders in residential houses provided that their number is 10 or more.

Otherwise, they will be considered as members of regular households;
5. Patients in hospitals who are confined for more than six months;
6. Patients confined in mental hospitals, leprosaria or leper colonies, and drug

rehabilitation centers, regardless of the length of confinement;
7. Wards in orphanages;
8. Inmates of penal colonies or prison cells;

abode a living quarter in the institution that they manage; and
3. Priests, who together with their relatives and/or household help, occupy and
regularly use as their place of abode a living quarter in the church or
seminary.
Persons Included in the Census Enumeration
Included in the enumeration were those who were alive as of the census

6. Citizens of foreign countries in refugee camps/vessels; and
7. Residents of the Philippines on vacation, pleasure or business trip, study or

Philippines for more than one year from departure.
Method of Enumeration
The gathering of population and housing data was performed by census

enumerators through house-to-house visits and interview of a responsible member of
each household. Self-Administered Questionnaires (SAQ) were provided to households
living in special areas such as exclusive subdivisions/villages, condominiums, and
others, and institutions where personal interview was not possible. A complete listing of
buildings which contain living quarters, including vacant ones, as well as housing units
and institutional living quarters was also done.
A combination of complete enumeration and sampling of households was done

to obtain population count and data on basic characteristics of the household population
and housing units. For institutional population, a complete enumeration was done.
The non-sample households were interviewed using the Common Household

Questionnaire (CPH Form 2) while the sample households were interviewed using the
Sample Household Questionnaire (CPH Form 3). Institutional population in institutional
living quarters was enumerated using the Institutional Population Questionnaire (CPH
Form 4). These questionnaires were used to gather information on the demographic
and socio-economic characteristics of the population, as well as the characteristics of
households and housing units.

National Statistics Office xix

Information about households of Filipinos working in Philippine embassies in

foreign countries, as well as those of homeless population were also gathered and
included in the total population of the country.
Sampling Scheme
As mentioned earlier, the 2010 CPH was carried out by using a combination of
complete enumeration and sampling. The sampling rate or the proportion of households
selected as sample households was either 100 percent or 20 percent, depending on the
size of the city/municipality, as follows:
Estimated Number of Households

Sampling Rate
in the City/Municipality
1 – 500 100 percent
501 and above 20 percent
The sampling rate for the city/municipality is applied to all EAs in the
city/municipality. Each city/municipality was treated as a domain to obtain efficient and
accurate estimates of population and housing at the city/municipality level.
For a city/municipality with 100 percent sampling rate, all households in all the
EAs within this city/municipality were selected as sample households. For municipalities
with a 20 percent sampling rate, systematic cluster sampling was adopted to minimize
the enumerator’s selection bias. In this sampling scheme, an EA was divided into
clusters composed of five households each. Clusters were formed by grouping five
households that had been assigned consecutive numbers as they were listed in CPH
Form 1. A sample selection of one in every five clusters of households was carried out
with the first cluster selected at random. Random start was pre-determined for each EA.
The following municipalities in some provinces of CAR, Region I, Region II, and
Region IV-B had been identified as having a population size of 500 persons or less,
hence assigned a 100 percent sampling rate:

2010 Census of Population and Housing Appendix C
EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 121
REORGANIZING AND STRENGTHENING

THE PHILIPPINE STATISTICAL SYSTEM (PSS)
AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
RECALLING that the reorganization of the government is mandated expressly in Article II,
Section 1 (1), and Article III of the Freedom Constitution;
HAVING IN MIND that, pursuant to Executive Order No. 5 (1986), there is a need to effect the
necessary and proper changes in the organizational and functional structures of the
government, its agencies and instrumentalities, in order to promote efficiency and effectiveness
in the delivery of public services;
BELIEVING that the present Philippine Statistical System is too decentralized, being
characterized by a single general-purpose statistical agency, a number of agencies in the
production of specialized statistics and other instrumentalities involved in statistical activities
either as their primary functions or as part of their administrative or regulatory functions;
REALIZING that the absence of a strong coordinating mechanism has given rise to the
problems of duplication of activities, conflicting statistics, data gaps as well as unnecessary
burden on respondents;
CONSIDERING that the government needs to rationalize the allocation of resources for the
collection of statistics;
TAKING NOTE that the quality of statistical services is affected by the limited number of
qualified statistical workers;
CONVINCED that there is a need to maintain a decentralized system characterized by

independence, objectivity and integrity to make it more responsive to the requirements of
national development;
CONVINCED further that there is also a need for a stronger mechanism to coordinate the
decentralized government statistical service in order to promote the orderly development of a
system capable of providing timely, accurate and useful data for the government and the public,
especially for planning and decision-making;
AFFIRMING that there is a need to ensure the development and maintenance of high-level
statistical manpower in the government;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, CORAZON C. AQUINO, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the

powers vested in me by the sovereign will of the Filipino People and the Freedom Constitution,
do hereby order:
SECTION 1. Title. This Executive Order shall otherwise be known as the Reorganization
Act of the Philippine Statistical System.
SECTION 2. Reorganization. The Philippine Statistical System, hereinafter referred to as

PSS, is hereby reorganized, structurally and functionally, in accordance with
the provisions of this Executive Order.

Appendix C 2010 Census of Population and Housing

Appendix D 2010 Census of Population and Housing
TRAININGS AND FIELDWORK FOR THE CONDUCT OF 2010 CPH
The 2010 Census of Population and Housing (2010 CPH) is designed to take an
inventory of the population and housing units in the Philippines and collect information about
their characteristics. All information about the population and living quarters were collected as
of 12:01 AM of May 1, 2010, the census reference date and time.
The National Statistics Office (NSO) is the agency mandated by law to conduct the 2010
CPH. Section 2 of Commonwealth Act No. 591 (CA 591), Section 9 of Executive Order No. 121
and Batas Pambansa Blg. 72 (BP 72) are the legal bases for the conduct of census. CA 591
and BP 72 explicitly provide the basis for the confidentiality of data collected during the census.
The census-taking was from May 17, 2010 to June 14, 2010, except in highly urbanized
cities such as the cities in the NCR, and large provinces in CALABARZON and Central Luzon
where the enumeration period extended beyond 23 days. About 68,146 public school teachers
were employed for the census as enumerators, team supervisors, and census area supervisors.
Their number was augmented by 19,579 hired personnel who were assigned to enumerate in
large and congested areas where enumeration was expected to go beyond 23 days and thus
cannot be handled by teachers who were expected to report for the school opening on June 14.
An enumerator was assigned to enumerate one enumeration area (EA), which has about 350
households. A ratio of one team supervisor to five enumerators was used during the census
operations.
In order to prepare the 84,000 census personnel for enumeration work, four levels of
training were conducted. The first level training for enumeration was participated in by
personnel of NSO central office and officials of NSO regional and selected provincial offices,
who, in turn acted as trainers in succeeding levels. The second level training was for NSO
provincial and regional office officials and staff who served as trainers for the third and fourth
level training. The third level training was participated in by public school teachers who were
assigned as census area supervisors. The enumerators and team supervisors were trained
during the fourth level training. A standard training program covering the concepts, definitions,
procedures, as well as duties and responsibilities of enumerators and supervisors was used.
Census-taking involved going around the whole enumeration area to do the required
census procedures, as follows.
1. Courtesy Call. As a matter of protocol, the census personnel made a courtesy call to
the barangay chairperson. The enumerator informed the official that the census
would be undertaken in his/her barangay and the enumerators would go around the
entire area to ask questions from the residents.
2. Mapping and Canvassing. The enumerator went around the entire EA to familiarize
himself with the place and checked the barangay or EA boundaries and landmarks,
and reflected these on the barangay/EA map.
3. Listing using CPH Form 1 or the Listing Booklet. The enumerator listed buildings
with living quarters, housing units, households and number of household members,
and institutional living quarters, and number of persons staying in institutions.
Structures which are occupied or used as living quarters by households, even though

2010 Census of Population and Housing Appendix D
these are not intended for human habitation were also listed. During the listing, the
names of the household heads and their addresses, and the names and addresses
of institutions were recorded.
4. Interview and Recording of Answers. For every household or institution listed, the
enumerator administered a questionnaire, that is, CPH Form 2 or Form 3 for a
household and CPH Form 4 for an institution. The barangay chairperson or any
official was also interviewed by the enumerator or his team supervisor using CPH
Form 5 or Barangay Questionnaire.
5. Plotting. The enumerator plotted the building with its assigned serial number on the
EA map. Standard cartographic symbols were used in plotting the buildings of the
households and institutions.
6. Posting of sticker. The enumerator posted a sticker on the door, gate or any
conspicuous part of the housing unit or institutional living quarter, to indicate that the
household or institution has been listed and/or interviewed.
In addition to the count of the household population and institutional population,

information about selected demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the population
were collected using different census questionnaires. These questionnaires were reviewed for
completeness and consistency of entries at various phases of the census operations. During
data collection, the census supervisors scrutinized questionnaires for completeness and
consistency of entries.
Progress monitoring reports were utilized to track the progress of census and field
operations and to evaluate the completeness of census coverage in each EA while enumeration
was still ongoing. The provincial, regional and central offices of NSO monitored the progress
through the Progress Monitoring System (PMS). The PMS generated reports on number of
households, institutions and persons enumerated based on the information sent by area
supervisors through SMS (short messaging system or text messaging).
Review of accomplished questionnaires for completeness and consistency of entries

was also carried out at the census headquarters where the census teams met weekly and at the
provincial offices during manual processing. Machine processing, which includes scanning and
interpretation, key-from-image data entry, completeness and consistency checking, and
consolidation of data, were done at the various census processing centers (CPC) in the country.
Data files were transmitted from the CPCs to the Central Office for the generation of census
counts. Population counts by province, city, municipality and barangay as determined from the
processed census questionnaires are official for all purposes as proclaimed by the President of
the Philippines.
The 2010 CPH adopted innovations to make the census operations efficient.
1. GPS technology for mapping. For this census round, the use of GPS (Global
Positioning System) was used for mapping selected barangays in five regions of
Caraga, Bicol region, Cordillera, Ilocos region except Pangasinan, and in Eastern
Visayas. This activity provided the enumerators with more accurate maps with
exact boundary information. The use of the GPS technology will be continued by
NSO as part of the rolling program for mapping activities.

Appendix D 2010 Census of Population and Housing
2. SMS technology for Progress Monitoring. The NSO made use of the SMS
technology in monitoring the progress of enumeration nationwide. Started in the
2007 census, the enhanced version of the Progress Monitoring System or PMS was
adopted for the current census round. The Philippines is the first country in the Asia
and Pacific to have adopted the SMS technology for progress monitoring.
3. OMR technology for data processing. The use of Optical Mark Reader (OMR)
technology in the Philippine census started in the 2000 CPH. The Philippines is
among the countries to have successfully used this technology. The use of OMR
shortened the data entry phase as only those items with write-in entries were
encoded. Data encoding using the key-from-image was done instead of keying from
the questionnaires.
4. Satellite images for validating census coverage. The Central Office downloaded
satellite images and identified structures (buildings) in specific cities and
municipalities. Counts of households were estimated based on identified structures.
These estimates were used to validate the completeness of census coverage in
these areas.
The NSO implemented strategies to enumerate areas which were hard to reach, remote,
upland, with Indigenous Peoples (IP) communities, under military control or with peace and
order problem, Chinese communities or exclusive villages with low response rate because of
security or other reasons, and areas with boundary disputes. These strategies included the
recruitment of enumerators who are from the area; assignment of IP teachers in IP areas;
seeking the assistance of IP guides; coordination with the AFP and PNP for transport and
escorts; coordination with local officials; and coordination with homeowners associations in
exclusive villages, high-rise condominiums and Filipino-Chinese communities.

2010 Census of Population and Housing Appendix E
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

Appendix E 2010 Census of Population and Housing
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,
using the balancing equation assumption:
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.
