TECHNICAL NOTES
- The 2020 CPH was undertaken by the Philippine Statistics Authority in September 2020 pursuant to Republic Act No. 10625, also known as the Philippine Statistical Act of 2013 and B.P. Blg. 72 further accorded the PSA the authority to conduct population censuses every ten (10) years beginning in 1980.
- Information on the count of the population were collected with 12:01 a.m. of May 1, 2020 as the census reference time and date.
- The 2020 CPH is the country's 15th Census of Population and 7th Census of Housing since 1903.
- Doubling time is the amount of time it takes for a given population to double in size or value at a constant growth rate. We can find the doubling time for a population undergoing exponential growth by using the Rule of 70. To compute for doubling time, we divide 70 by the growth rate (r).
- His Excellency President Rodrigo R. Duterte declared as official for all purposes the population counts by province, city/municipality, and barangay, based on the 2020 CPH under Proclamation No. 1179 dated 06 July 2021. The population counts were based on census questionnaires accomplished by about 90,000 enumerators deployed during the nationwide census taking.
- The successful completion of the 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.
