 About Us
Statman

Each of the body parts of STATMAN, the mascot,

represents a statistical symbol that is commonly
used in statistical theory and its applications. To
explain:

The Head symbolizes the sign Sigma which is

used to denote standard deviation or variations in
human endeavors.

The Right Arm symbolizes the sign Sigma which

is used to denote summation of society's dreams
and aspirations.

The Left Arm and Torso, taken altogether,

symbolizes the sign Chi Square and is used to
denote in dependence and objectively of one's
views and decisions while maintaining harmony with the government.

The use of the symbols as the body parts of STATMAN signifies coherence and
unity between statistical theory and their various applications which include,
among others, the generation, analysis and interpretation of data.

The picture depicted of the STATMAN in motion signifies the vision for and
mission of the Philippine Statistical System, that is, 'Statistics in Action' which
simply means a system that is proactive and responsive to developments affecting
the country and its products, in terms of statistical data series, used in
governance, and ion the conduct of our daily lives.
