The National Statistics Office will be conducting 3 nationwide surveys: (1) the 2009 Household Survey on Domestic Visitors (HSDV), (2) the 3rd Quarter Labor Force Survey (LFS), and (3) the 2009 Survey on Overseas Filipinos (SOF).
The 2009 HSDV is being undertaken jointly with the Department of Tourism. This survey aims to collect data on the travel characteristics and volume of domestic tourism in the country.
The 2009 SOF is a nationwide survey that seeks to gather information on Filipino citizens who left for abroad during the last five years. It is geared towards obtaining the national estimates on the number of overseas Filipinos including overseas workers and their socio-economic characteristics and to provide estimates on the amount of cash and in kind transfer received by the families and mode of remittances.
The Labor Force Survey is a regular undertaking by the NSO. It is being conducted quarterly to have estimates on the levels of employment and unemployment in the country. (NSO/PIA/EAD)
