01 September 2024 – MARINDUQUE PROVINCIAL STATISTICAL OFFICE. The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Marinduque Provincial Statistical Office (PSO) successfully conducted the September 2024 Monthly Palay and Corn Situation Reporting System (MPCSRS). The survey was conducted on September 1 – 5, 2024.

The MPCSRS is a monitoring system for the growing conditions and actual plantings of palay and corn. It aims to update current quarter estimates based on standing crops and to project next quarter estimates based on farmers' planting intentions.

PSA-Marinduque hired two Statistical Researchers (SRs) to conduct personal interviews of 94 sample palay-farming households from selected barangays in Boac, including Boton, Bamban, Mainit, and Tumagabok. Additionally, there are 43 sample corn-farming households from Barangays in Duyay, (Boac), Sihi, (Buenavista), and Dawis, Gasan. 

In line with this, the sample palay and corn farming households are encouraged to participate in this nationwide undertaking by providing the accurate and necessary information. 

According to Section 19 of Republic Act No. 10173, the “Data Privacy Act of 2012,” all collected information will be kept confidential. Section 26 of RA No. 10625 states that individual data provided to the PSA for statistical inquiries is privileged communication and inadmissible as evidence in any proceeding.
