San Juan, Siquijor, 07 May 2024.

The local officials of LGU San Juan expressed their strong support and participation for the simultaneous conduct of the 2024 POPCEN-CBMS, highlighting its potential to improve local governance through precise data-driven insights. The data to be gathered will aid in updating population, refining social protection program beneficiaries, preparing for future elections, enhancing the distribution of shares of Local Government Units in the National Tax Allocation (NTA), and it will also aid in the implementation of the Automatic Income Classification of Local Government Units.

The convening was attended by Letty Y. Mamhot, MPDC as the lead core team of the POPCEN-CBMS and department heads and representatives from the different departments such as LCR, MSWD, Budget Division, Assessor’s Office, Treasurer and Accounting Office, ME, representative from the SB and LGOO.

During the convening, Supervising Statistical Specialist/Officer-In-Charge Engr. Joselito C. Maghanoy provided an overview of the 2024 POPCEN-CBMS rollout, emphasizing the importance of cooperation among all board members. He outlined the objectives, legal bases, rationale, scope and coverage, reference date and enumeration period of the 2024 POPCEN-CBMS, ensuring that all collected data would comply with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and other relevant legislation.

This undertaking is set to begin in July and will continue until September 2024. Additionally, training sessions for Census Area Supervisors (CAS), Team Supervisors (TS) and Enumerators (EN) are scheduled to ensure efficient and affective data collection and, most importantly, secure handling of data.

The convening of the 2024 POPCEN-CBMS Municipal Coordinating Board in the Municipality of San Juan is a major step toward encouraging data-driven growth and improving the provision of local government services.
