CITY OF MATI, Davao Oriental – Preparations for the nationwide rollout of the 2022 Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) in Davao Oriental come August 2022 is currently underway. Under Republic Act (RA) No. 11315 or the Community-Based Monitoring System Act, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) shall lead the implementation of CBMS.

As early as last quarter of 2021, PSA Davao Oriental started its coordination activities with local government units (LGUs) and other stakeholders in the province. Through the Provincial Statistics Committee (PSC) Resolution No. 1 series of 2022, former Governor Nelson L. Dayanghirang enjoined all LGUs to participate in the PSA-led 2022 CBMS. Coordination meetings were also conducted with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and other partners.

In Davao Oriental, the City of Mati, as a fifth-class city will participate in the 2022 CBMS and is classified as PSA-funded LGU. Nineteen of its 26 barangays will be enumerated, namely: Badas, Bobon, Buso, Cabuaya, Central, Dahican, Dawan, Don Enrique Lopez, Don Martin Marundan, Don Salvador Lopez, Lawigan, Macambol, Mamali, Matiao, Mayo, Sainz, Sanghay, Tagbinonga, and Tamisan. A total of 194 personnel were hired to conduct the enumeration and supervisory tasks.

On 04-08 July 2022, personnel from PSA Davao Oriental attended the joint regional and provincial level training conducted by PSA Regional Statistical Services Office XI in Davao City. These personnel will serve as trainers during the city level training in City of Mati scheduled on 21-28 July 2022. The city level training will be participated by hired enumerators and supervisors.

The 2022 CBMS will adopt the Computer-Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) technique, which will involve the gathering of information through the use of an electronic questionnaire contained in an electronic gadget (tablet) to cover households and barangays in the PSA-funded LGUs. In addition, a Computer-Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) application will also be used to complement data collection through the CAPI of the Barangay Profile Questionnaire (BPQ). As the need arises, the 2022 CBMS will also adopt the traditional Paper and Pencil Interview (PAPI) technique for both the Household Profile Questionnaire (HPQ) and BPQ

The enumeration units for the 2022 CBMS are the households and housing units as well as the barangays in the 5th, 6th income class cities and municipalities and the cities/municipalities that do not yet have income classifications. All of these will be listed and enumerated. Homeless, households in temporary shelter (or evacuation centers), and Filipinos residing in Philippine embassies, missions and consulates abroad will be enumerated. The period of enumeration for the 2022 CBMS is from 08 August 2022 to 06 October 2022.

The public are enjoined to support the 2022 CBMS.
