TECHNICAL NOTES
The National Statistics Office conducted the 2010 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) in May to June 2010 pursuant to Batas Pambansa Blg. 72 and Commonwealth Act 591. The 2010 CPH is the 13th census of population and 6th census of housing undertaken since the first census in 1903. The 2010 CPH was designed to take an inventory of the total population and housing units and to collect information about their characteristics. The census of population is the source of information on the size and distribution of the population as well as information about the demographic, social, economic and cultural characteristics. The census of housing, on the other hand, provides information on the supply of housing units, their structural characteristics and facilities which have bearing on the maintenance of privacy, health and the development of normal family living conditions. These information are vital for making rational plans and programs for national and local development, basis for the apportionment of the Internal Revenue Allotment to local government and for the creation of legislative areas such as regions, provinces, municipalities and barangays, or the conversion of a municipality into a city.
Specifically, the census aimed to obtain comprehensive data on the size, composition and distribution of the population in the Philippines; to gather migration and fertility data, to classify the population according to ethnic origin and religious affiliations and determine their geographic distribution; to gather data on usual occupation and industry; and to take stock of existing housing units in the country and to gather information about their geographic location, structural characteristics and available facilities.
Census day for the 2010 CPH was May 1, 2010 as of 12:01 a.m. The Philippine Standard Geographic Codes (PSGC) as of March 31, 2010 was used for the disaggregation of geographic levels for the 2010 CPH.
Proclamation No. 362, signed by President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III on 30 March 2012 made official the census counts for all purposes. Population counts also include homeless population and Filipinos in Philippines Embassies, Consulates and Missions abroad. The counts were based on census accomplished questionnaires all over the country. These questionnaires were processed at the different Regional Census Processing Centers using the Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) technology along with the Census Integrated Processing System developed by NSO for this purpose.
The successful completion of census-taking was made possible with the support of the local and national officials, government agencies, local government units, media, private agencies, and non-government organizations.
Data on land area (in hectares) was provided by the Land Management Bureau, and converted to square kilometers by dividing the land area by 1000. The land area was based on the 2010 Master List Land Area of the Philippines.
