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

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