    The document summarizes the data processing procedures for the 2007 Census of Population in the Philippines. Key points include: 1) The census was conducted in August 2007 and collected population counts but not housing data. Processing occurred at provincial, regional, and central centers. 2) At the provincial level, forms were coded, entered into CSPro, and checks for completeness and consistency were performed before transmitting to regional centers. 3) Regional centers used Kodak scanners and ICR software to capture fields from images in two passes before transmitting to the central center. 4) The central center performed a second pass capture, editing, imputation, and tabulation before creating public use microdata files.
