12 September 2024 – MALUSAK, BOAC, MARINDUQUE. In celebration of the 11th anniversary of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the Marinduque Provincial Statistical Office (PSO) organized a Serbisyo Caravan and Exhibit.

Aligned with this year’s anniversary theme, "Strengthening Data Stewardship Towards a Responsive Public Service," the event featured a range of activities designed to engage the community and highlight the crucial role of accurate and timely statistical data in improving public service and promoting effective governance.

The occasion was graced by a keynote address from Ms. Helen Alcoba, SWAD-T Leader and Social Welfare Officer II, who highlighted the essential role of the PSA in providing the reliable data needed for government programs.

Furthermore, educational materials were distributed, enhancing awareness of the services provided and the information available.

This 11th PSA anniversary celebration not only reflected on past achievements but also inspired a renewed commitment to enhancing public service through robust data stewardship. The successful event, led by PSA- Marinduque, demonstrated the agency’s ongoing efforts to foster a well-informed, responsive, and inclusive community.
