1 Instructions in Accomplishing CBMS
Form 4: Barangay Profile Questionnaire
The Barangay Profile Questionnaire (CBMS Form 4) is designed to gather data
on the characteristics of barangays such as the types of facilities and establishments
present in the barangay. The CBMS Form 4 will be administered through Computer-
Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) and will be distributed to Punong Barangays prior to
CBMS enumeration period. An orientation to the Punong Barangays and/or target
respondent Barangay Officials will be organized to orient them on how to accomplish
CBMS Form 4 using the CAWI system.
During enumeration period, the Team Supervisor (TS) will be responsible in
administering the CBMS Form 4 in each barangay assigned to him/her.
This chapter discusses the enumeration procedures, contents and instructions
in accomplishing the CBMS Form 4.
1.1 ENUMERATION PROCEDURES

Whom to Interview
The respondent for CBMS Form 4 should be the Punong Barangay or any
authorized barangay official (e.g. Barangay Secretary, Barangay Treasurer, Barangay
Clerk, Barangay Kagawad, etc.), who can provide accurate information about the
barangay LGU, service facilities, and government projects in the barangay.
Phases of Data Collection in CBMS Form 4
a. Orientation on the CBMS Form 4 for the Barangay LGU Officials. An
online/onsite briefing will then be undertaken by the PSA Field Offices, i.e., the
PSO and CBMS Focal Persons (FPs) in the pilot areas, to orient the barangay
chairpersons, secretaries and other barangay officials/staff on how to fill out the
CBMS Form 4.
b. Distribution of CBMS Form 4. The CBMS Form 4 shall be distributed to the

barangay LGUs. Printed questionnaires and access codes to the Computer-
Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) application will also be given to them after the
orientation. CAWI technique will be used to administer information from the
respondent. However, Self-administered questionnaires (SAQ) can also be
used to fill up the questionnaires. Contact information of the PSO staff/CBMS
FPs will be made available to the barangay LGU officials in case they have
queries on how to accomplish the printed or CAWI format of the CBMS Form 4
or if they will be submitting the scanned copy of the accomplished CBMS Form
4. Two weeks will be allocated for barangay LGU officials to provide information
in the CBMS Form 4.

c. Gathering of CBMS Form 4 submissions. CBMS Form 4 responses submitted
through the CAWI application site will be monitored. Follow up in the responses
of barangay LGU officials will be done within three (3) days from the set
deadline of submission. Within two (2) weeks after deadline of submission, the
mayor (copy furnished the city/municipal statistician or CBMS LGU FP) will be
informed about the status of submission of CBMS Form 4 among barangay
LGUs in their jurisdiction.
d. Personal interview with barangay LGU. Should there be any inconsistencies

found, missing information or nonresponse from the barangay LGU, the
barangay chairperson or any official will be interviewed personally by the PSA
personnel, head CBMS Area Supervisor(CAS), CAS or TS using the CAPI
(Computer-Assisted Personal Interview) or PAPI (Paper-and-Pencil Interview)
CBMS Form 4. CBMS Form 8 (Appointment Slip to the Household Head/
Barangay) will also be used to set the schedule of personal interview with the
barangay LGU officials. Personal interview among barangay LGU officials
should be done during the week of the CBMS data collection among the
households in the barangay.
In some cases, other mode of data collection such as telephone interview may
also be employed.

2021 PILOT COMMUNITY-BASED MONITORING SYSTEM
BARANGAY PROFILE QUESTIONNAIRE
Dear Sir/Madam,
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is conducting the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS). CBMS, as defined by the law, refers to an organized technology-based system of collecting,
processing, and validating necessary disaggregated data that may be used for planning, program implementation, and impact monitoring at the local level while empowering communities to participate in the
process.
The conduct of the CBMS is pursuant to RA No. 11315, otherwise known as the CBMS Act, which authorizes the PSA to prepare and conduct periodic compendium of localized facts, figures, and maps on the
different dimensions of poverty such as health, nutrition, water, sanitation, shelter, education, income, employment, security, and participation every three (3) years. All barangay LGUs are requested to respond to
this Barangay Profile Questionnaire (BPQ).
By responding to this questionnaire, you are voluntarily providing information to the PSA and you are authorizing the PSA to collect data about your barangay, in which such data may also be shared to the
national government agencies for monitoring purposes and for possible assistance that may be extended to your LGU. The data that you will provide in this BPQ will also be stored and archived in the PSA's
National CBMS Databank.
Rest assured that the data that you will furnish in this data collection activity shall be considered PRIVILEGED COMMUNICATION and as such shall be inadmissible as evidence in any legal proceeding.
Moreover, please be informed that Section 4(e) of RA 10173 (Data Privacy Act of 2012) states that data privacy does not apply to “information necessary in order to carry out the functions of public authority which
includes the processing of personal data for the performance by the independent agencies of their constitutionally and statutorily mandated functions.” We appreciate your utmost cooperation and support for the
success of the enhancement of the CBMS.
For inquiries, contact the PSA at (02)8376-1909 or send us a message at the email addresses cbms@psa.gov.ph and cbss.oans@gmail.com.
Thank you very much.

Response Definition
Category
a. Climate-related and geologic events

1. Typhoon Tropical cyclones are warm-core low pressure systems
associated with a spiral inflow of mass at the bottom level and
spiral outflow at the top level. In other parts of the world, these are
referred to as hurricanes, typhoons or simply tropical cyclones
depending on the region. In the Western North Pacific Ocean, they
are called "typhoons". (Source: PAGASA)
2. Flood PAGASA defines flood as an abnormal progressive rise in the

water level of a stream that may result in the overflowing by the
water of the normal confines of the stream with the subsequent
inundation of areas which are not normally submerged. This can
be naturally caused by meterological events (e.g. intense or
prolonged rainfall, storm surges, etc.), seismic activities and
astronomically-influenced phenomena (e.g. flooding due to high
tides coinciding with the occurrence of heavy rainfall). Flooding
may also be an outcome of blasting slopes of hills and mountains,
construction of temporary dams, failure of hydraulic and other
control structures, untimely and sudden release of large amounts
of excess water in hydraulic structures, and denudation of forest
and watershed areas.
3. Flash flood This category may include flash flood and storm surge. Flash
and storm flood is flooding caused by a rapid rise in the water level of rivers,
surge streams, or lakes, usually as a result of heavy rains. (Source:
PAGASA)
Storm surge is also known as “daluyong ng bagyo” and refers to

the abnormal rise in sea level that occurs during tropical cyclones
or “bagyo”. It is caused by strong winds and low atmospheric
pressures produced by tropical cyclones. As the tropical cyclone
approaches the coast, strong winds push the ocean water over
the low-lying coastal areas, which can lead to flooding. (Source:
PAGASA)
3. Dry spell/ Drought is a prolonged dry period in the natural climate cycle.
drought
4. Earthquake An earthquake is a weak to violent shaking of the ground
produced by the sudden movement of rock materials below the
earth’s surface. (Source: PHIVOLCS)
5. Volcanic Volcano is a vent, hill or mountain from which molten or hot rocks
eruption with gaseous material have been ejected. Volcanoes could also
be in the form of craters, depressions, hills or mountains formed

by removal of pre-existing material or by accumulation of ejected
materials. (Source: PHIVOLCS)
The following are volcanic hazards directly associated with
eruption:
● Lava flow
● Tephra fall or ashfall and ballistic projectiles
● Pyroclastic density currents or PDCs (pyroclastic flow,
pyroclastic surge, base surge)
● Lateral blast
● Volcanic gas
Landslide, lahar flooding, volcanic tsunami, ground deformation
(subsidence, fissuring) may also be indirect results of the volcanic
eruption. (Source: PAGASA)
6. Landslide/ Landslide is the mass movement of rock, soil, and debris down a
mudslide slope due to gravity. It occurs when the driving force is greater
than the resisting force. It is a natural process that occurs in steep
slopes. The movement may range from very slow to rapid. It can
affect areas both near and far from the source. (Source:
PHIVOLCS)
7. Tsunami A tsunami is a series of sea waves commonly generated by

under-the-sea earthquakes and whose heights could be greater
than 5 meters. It is erroneously called tidal waves and sometimes
mistakenly associated with storm surges. Tsunamis can occur
when the earthquake is shallow-seated and strong enough to
displace parts of the seabed and disturb the mass of water over it.
(Source: PHIVOLCS)
8. Forest Fire A forest fire is a large, uncontrolled fire in a forest or wooded
area”. (Collins Dictionary 2016).
