The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) has completed the 2024 Census on Population and Community-Based Monitoring System (POPCEN-CBMS) Data Collection in September 2024. To ensure the quality of the collected data, the PSA implemented rigorous measures, including close supervision and re-interviews conducted by PSA regular personnel prior to the conclusion of data collection. One of the key quality control measures also is the Map and Data Processing. This critical step ensures the precision of the collected data. As emphasized in Rule II of the Republic Act No. 11315, otherwise known as the “Community-Based Monitoring System Act”, Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), this procedure entails analyzing raw data and is essential for identifying and addressing potential errors, anomalies, and inconsistencies, ultimately enhancing the accuracy and utility of the community-level data. The Abra Provincial Statistical Office (PSO) hired six (6) Map Data Processors (MDP) and 14 Data Processors (DP). The 2024 Map and Data Processing commenced on September 11 until November 23, 2024. Another key measure that the PSO is implementing is the Saturation Field Drive. This strategy is initiated to verify the initial findings in the data collection. The PSO hired 18 Statistical Researches (SR), whose contracts started on October 22 and will end on November 20, 2024. 

By implementing these measures, the PSA demonstrates its commitment to providing high-quality data, empowering policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders to make informed decisions for the betterment of the community.
