EXPLANATORY TEXT

Introduction

.In May 1990, the National Statistics Office conducted the 1990 Census of Populationand Housing (CPH). This nationwide undertaking is the 9th population census and 3rdhousing census conducted in this century.

Like the 1980 census, the 1990 CPH is designed to take an inventory of the totalpopulation and housing units in the Philippines and to collect information about theircharacteristics. The census of population is the source of information on the size anddistrihution of the population as well as information about the demographic, social, economicand cultural characteristics. The census of housing, on the other hand, provides informationon the supply of housing units, their structural characteristics and facilities which have bearingon the maintenance of privacy, health and the development of normal family living conditions.These information are vital for making rational plans and programs for development.

For purposes of this report, only the 1990 Census of Population results will bepresented. This is pursuant to the provision of Batas Pambansa Bilang 72 wherein a final countof the population at the barangay level must be submitted to the President of the Philippines,for proclamation, before the end of the census year.

Authority for Conducting the 1990 Census

Under Commonwealth Act No. 591, the Bureau of the Census and Statistics (nowNational Statistics Office) is authorized "to prepare for and undertake all censuses ofpopulation, agriculture, industry and commerce."

Batas Pambansa BIg. 72, which was passed on June 11, 1980, further accorded theNational Statistics Office the authority to conduct population censuses every ten yearsheginning in 1980 without prejudice to the undertaking of special censuses on agriculture,industry, commerce, housing and other sectors as may be approved hy the National Economicand Development Authority.

More recently, Executive Order No. 121, otherwise known as the Reorganiza tion Actof the Philippine Statistical System, which was passed on January 30, 1987, declared that theNSO shall be the major statistical agency responsible for generating general purpose: statisticsand for undertaking such censuses and surveys as may be designated by the National StatisticalCoordination Board (NSCB).

VII

It may be mentioned that Presidential Proclamation No. 497 declares 1990 as a NationalCensus Year and calls upon all heads of departments of the government and itsinstrumentalities to give their support and cooperation in the census undertaking.

Census Boards

Aside'from the authority to conduct censuses every ten years, Batas Pambansa BIg. 72created the National Census Coordinating Board (NCCB) to supervise, coordinate and issuesuch rules and regulations, as may be necessary, for the successful conduct of the census.Provincial, City and Municipal Census Boards were also created to assist at the subnationallevel in the conduct of the population census.

Executive Order No. 121 has created the National Statistical Coordination Board(NSCB) to oversee all statistical activities in the Philippine Statistical Systems and thereforehas taken over the functions of the NCCB. However, the NSO remains to be the implementingagency of the Census.

A systematized involvement of government agencies and instrumentalities was madepossible largely through the concerted efforts of the members of the National StatisticalCoordination Board (NSCB) and the Provincial, City and Municipal Census Boards.

The NSCB is composed of the Director General of the National Economic andDevelopment Authotity as chairman, the undersecretary of the Department of Budget as vice.chairman, a representative from the remaining departments with the rank of undersecretary,Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, Administrator of NSO, Executive Director of theStatistical Research and Training Center, Secretary General of the NSCB, and a representativefrom the private sector, as memhers. For purposes of the 1990 Census of Population andHousing, the Administrator of NSO is the Executive Director of NSCB.

At the local government level, Provincial and City/MunicipaJ Census Boards werecreated. The Provincial Governor was the chairman of the Provincial Census Board with theDivision Superintendent as vice chairman, the District Highway Engineer, the ProvincialCommander of the Philippine Constabulary, the Local Government Operations Officer, theProvincial Agricultural Officer, the Provincial Assessor, as members, with the Provincial CensusOfficer of the NSO as the Executive Officer.

Definition of Terms and Concepts

Barangay

A barangay is the smallest political unit in the country and generally its enumeration isassigned to one enumerator. For enumeration purposes, a large barangay is usually split intoparts and each part is called an enumeration area.

For purposes of the 1990 Census of Population and Housing, the official list of baran-gays of the Department of Local Government, as of January 1, 1990 with periodic updates, wasused as the basis.

IX

Enumeration Area

An enumeration area (EA) is a delineated area assigned to one enumerator, usuallyconsisting of about 350 households. A barangay or part of a barangay may have beendesignated as an enumeration area.

USIIalPlace of Residence

This term refers to the geographic place (street, barangay, municipality or province)where the enumerated person usually resides. As a rule, it is the place where he sleeps mostof the time; hence, it may be the same as or different from the place where he was found atthe time of the census.

/lol/selwld

A household is a social unit consisting of a person living alone or a group of personswho

1. sleep in the same housing unit; and2. have a common arrangement for the preparation and consumption of food.

In most cases, a household consists of persons who are related by kinship ties, likeparents and their children. In some instances, several generations of familial ties arerepresented in one household while, still in others, even more distant relatives are membersof the household.

Household helpers, boarders, and non-relatives are considered as members of thehousehold provided they sleep in the same housing unit and have common arrangement forthe preparation and consumption of food and do not usually go home to their family at leastonce a week.

A person who shares a housing unit with a household but separately cooks his meals orconsumes his food elsewhere is not considered a member of the household he shares thehousing unit with. That person is listed as a separate household.

Estimated Population

A barangay is provided with an estimated population if a certain portion was notenumerated during the nationwide. operations due to critical peace and order conditions .

. x

J

Residents Temporarily Evacuated

These are barangays where all or most residents temporarily evacuated at the time ofthe census. The movement of residents from the area may be due to worsening peace andorder conditions or natural calamity.

Disputed Barangay

Disputed barangays refer to those areas which are being claimed by two or morebarangays, municipalities, cities or provinces.

For purposes of this report, the population of a disputed barangay is included in thecount of the barangay, municipality, city or province where it was enumerated.
