TACLOBAN CITY, Leyte, April 2 (PIA) -- The National Statistics Office in Eastern Visayas under the leadership of Director Raul Dones called on the public to cooperate in the conduct of the April 2012 Consumer Expectations Survey (CES) in selected provinces in Eastern Visayas namely, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Samar, and Eastern Samar.  
MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, April 3 (PIA) -- Together with 44 other honor students, two Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) scholars graduated Cum Laude during the Commencement Exercises of the Leyte Normal University on March 26 in Tacloban City.  


Director Dones enjoined all sample household to actively support and cooperate in the said activity which will start on April 2 to 16. Likewise, the support and assistance of the local government units are solicited in order to ensure the success of this undertaking, the NSO Director said.  
“We take pride in the achievements of our scholars. This makes evident that the financial assistance extended to them as qualified beneficiaries of our OFW (overseas Filipino workers) clients is not put to waste,” says OWWA- RWO8 OIC-Director II Ma. Evangelina V. Filamor in a press release.  


Dones said that just like any other surveys undertaken by NSO, the data that will be gathered shall be held strictly confidential and shall not be divulged to any person except to authorize NSO personnel. The data will not be used for taxation, investigation, or enforcement purposes.  
Filamor said after four years of struggle for academic excellence was worth the long wait for Ritzee Operio and Mark Geraldo when they graduated Cum Laude among 1,059 graduates.  


Dones said that the Consumer Expectations Survey is actually conducted in selected provinces nationwide except except in Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).  
The graduates are OWWA scholars under the OFW Dependents Scholarship Program (OFW-DSP) whereby an eligible dependent of an active OFW with a basic monthly salary of $400 and below receives financial assistance of P10,000 per semester, she said.  


The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) contracted the NSO to conduct CES in order to collect comprehensive information on the business conditions of the country in the household sector, Director Dones informed.  
She further said Geraldo, with a grade of 1.55, and Operio, with 1.65, outstandingly earned a double degree in Bachelor of Science in Secondary and Elementary Education major in English. While in search for a private school to practice their profession, they plan to review for the September Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET).  


The NSO’s responsibility is to undertake the data collection and encoding of the questionnaires while BSP’s responsibility is the generation of tables and analysis of the results, the NSO Director added.  
“OWWA is part of our success and we are very much thankful for the assistance they have extended to us,” says Geraldo in an interview, Filamor quoted.  


The CES is a household-based survey on the consumers’ assessment of their financial situation, the economic condition of the country and the overall performance of the government. This is a complementary survey to BSP’s Business Expectations Survey (BES).  
Another OWWA scholar grabbed first honor award in the Commencement Exercises of the Sto. Nino SPED Center, Tacloban City on March 31 - Danna Mheliza Mae D. Budano garnered 93.8 percent, topping the entire second grade level of the said school, Filamor further reported.  


The survey is administered on a sample basis at the household level drawn through a stratified multi-stage random sampling. The survey has a total sample of about 5,000 households nationwide. The total sample in Region VIII is 308 households.
The achiever is an OWWA scholar under the education component of Education and Livelihood Assistance Program whereby an eligible dependent of deceased OFW who was an active OWWA member at the time of death receives financial scholarship grant until completion of a tertiary degree, Filamor said. (LDL/ESG-PIA 8, SoLeyte)


The conduct of CES aims to provide a quick and regular assessment of the financial condition of consumers and economic condition of the country at present and in the near future, from the consumers’ own viewpoints; to generate forecasts in the direction of the country’s economic activity based on consumers’ outlook in the next 12 months; and to provide quick and regular assessment of consumers’ outlook in terms of their income and expenditures.
