FEW more days and the 1265 National Census on Population and Housing enumerators would be wrapping up the 2010 census data.
But National Census Office authorities here in Bohol said the data may not yet be available on June 11 but later or by the end of the year.
To this, Jessamyn Anne Alcazaren requests local leaders not to press the enumerators to share the raw data as this would have to be forwarded yet to Manila.
Please spare the census enumerators if they could not share the data yet, these would still have to be validated, Alcazaren said.
Besides, the enumerators are instructed to keep the information confidential, she explained just as the data shared by respondents are kept in privacy.

MAS maayo nga maandam na sa mga pamuno sa balay ang mga I-tubag sa mga magtutudlo nga gisangonan sa National Statistics Office (NSO) nga mohimo sa census ning tuig 2010.
Butyag ni Jessamyn Anne Alcazaren, hepe sa NSO dinhi, mas mapadali kon ang tagbalay nga motubag sa mga nagcensus nasuheto na sa mga tinuod nga ngalan sa nagpuyo sa iyang panimalay, ang ilang sex, adlaw nga natawhan, edad, petsa sa pagkarehistro, kahimtang o status, relihiyon, citizenship.
Ipangutana usab ang nanimuyo sa balay sa milabay’ng lima ka tuig, ug ang labing taas nga grading nakab-ot sa mga sakop sa balay.
Walay angay kahadlokan sa mga pangutana kay walay labut niini ang kahimtang ekonomikanhon o kita sa mga tagbalay, pasabot ni Alcazaren.
Kini samtang magpadayon ang pagcensus sa mga populasyon ug kabalayan gikan niadtong Mayo 17 hangtud sa Julyo 11. (PIA-Bohol)

Some 75,000 public school teachers have been deployed by the Department of Education (DepEd) to conduct the national census that is done every ten years to generate accurate demographic data essential in the government’s socio-economic planning.
Education Secretary Mona Valisno said the DepEd deployed 60,000 field enumerators or census takers, 12,000 team supervisors, and 3,000 census area supervisors for the decennial census that started last May 17 and would last until June 12, 2010.
“We ask our people to cooperate in giving our teachers accurate data on their households. This is very important because this census is part of a national aim to better plan the welfare of our citizenry in terms of health, education, jobs, and other critical social services,” Valisno said.
The census is being undertaken in partnership with the National Statistical Coordination Board-National Statistics Office (NSCB-NSO).
The government is allocating a compensation for the teachers participating in the census, in the amounts of P11,550; P13,050; and P15,175 one-time honorarium. The teachers are also entitled to transportation expenses and meal allowances.
The 2010 Census of Population and Housing will obtain a complete count of Philippine population, demographic characteristics (population density, ethnicity, education level, health, economic status), and geographic distribution in the Philippines. (PIA-Bohol)
