In view of creating better social conditions for the people, multi-faceted efforts are deemed necessary and equally essential to put forward the interest and welfare of the masses.

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Occidental Mindoro reifies its commitment to contribute for community development by conducting social responsibility programs, viz:

1. Kalinga: A Community Outreach Program in Celebration of National Children’s Month 

2. Zumba Session: Encouraging Communities Towards Healthy and Active Lifestyle 

Activities were conducted in December 2022 respectively, with a total of 187 beneficiaries from Pambuhan Elementary School and nearby community of Barangay San Vicente, Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro.

All kids were from five (05) to 12 years old (kinder to grade 6) belonging to the indigenous tribe of Iraya, Mangyan. 

This is the second time that PSA Occidental Mindoro conducted outreach program in the said school and promoted good health and habit for every student. The minority school welcomes every help and donations that will aid the students in easing their academic struggles and personal challenges. 

With this activity, everyone witnessed the smiles and excitements of every student while they actively participated in each activity provided like Zumba, parlor games and some students even showcase their talent in singing that they really enjoyed every moment. 

Further, projects like Philippine Identification System and PhilSys Birth Registration Assistance Project were introduced making them target beneficiaries for legal documentation of identity, civil status, and family relationships to facilitate social, economic, and political inclusion and access to services in health, education, employment, civic/ economic services, and activities. 

The office lauds the joint initiative of the volunteers, PSA personnel, teachers, and local government officials of Abra de Ilog for making the success of this vision a fruition.
