Overview
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is currently leading the
implementation of the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS), pursuant to
Republic Act (RA) No. 11315, otherwise known as the CBMS Act. The 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.
PSA is also conducting the Census of Population (POPCEN), in accordance

with RA 10625 or Philippine Statistics Act of 2013, and Executive Order No. 325. As
such, POPCEN and CBMS are conducted simultaneously, thereby referred to as
2024 POPCEN-CBMS. This integrated activity is a cost-efficient strategy by the
agency and is primarily designed to update the population and social registry of the
Philippines.
Part of the activities to be conducted for the 2024 POPCEN-CBMS is the

Barangay Profile Questionnaire (BPQ) Data Collection and Service Facilities and
Government Projects (SFGP) Listing.
The collected data on barangay profile shall be used to update the urban-rural
classification of barangays. Meanwhile, the listing of service facilities and
government projects shall serve as a reference file in the conduct of the geotagging
of service facilities and government projects for the 2024 POPCEN-CBMS.
Collectively, the data collected shall be used to come up with sound decisions in
making programs and allocating resources for economic development and poverty
alleviation.

The POPCEN-CBMS Form 5 or the Barangay Profile Questionnaire is

designed to gather data on the general information and physical
characteristics of barangays, such as the types of facilities and
establishments present in the barangay, information on barangay-based
institutions, source of electricity, garbage and waste disposal, number of
establishments (by type), mode of transportation, information and
communication technology, significant events, disaster risk reduction
management, and disaster supplies/equipment of the barangay.

The POPCEN-CBMS Form 6 or the Barangay Listing of Service Facilities

and Government Projects aims to produce a list of the existing service
facilities and government projects implemented by the barangay government
and constructed within the provided reference period. For barangays
belonging to LGUs that had participated in the 2022/2023 CBMS Geotagging
and Processing of Service Institutions and Infrastructure Government
Projects, the POPCEN-CBMS Form 6 that the barangay will receive shall
contain an initial list of facilities and government projects that had been
geotagged in the said activity. Pertinent information of these features shall be
updated accordingly, and new facilities and government projects not included
therein shall be added to produce an updated listing in the barangay.
Accomplishing the form shall be discussed in detail in the succeeding parts of
this Guideline.
The POPCEN-CBMS Form 7 or the City/Municipal Listing of Government

Projects shall be used and accomplished at the city/municipality-level to
produce a list of government projects implemented by the city/municipal
government. Similar to POPCEN-CBMS Form 6, LGUs which had participated
in the 2022/2023 CBMS Geotagging and Processing of Service Institutions
and Infrastructure Government Projects, the POPCEN-CBMS Form 7 that the
city/municipality will receive shall contain an initial list of features that had
been geotagged in the said activity. Pertinent information of these projects
shall be updated accordingly, and new government projects not included
therein shall be added to produce an updated listing in city/municipality.
Accomplishing the form shall be discussed in detail in the succeeding parts of
this Guideline.
How shall the data be collected from our barangay

or city/municipality?
During data collection, the following modes shall be used by the designated
barangay and city/municipality personnel or official upon accomplishment of
POPCEN-CBMS Forms 6 and 7, respectively:
(1) Self-Administered Paper Questionnaire or SAQ-P, which shall be used

in barangays with no access to computers, or those with computers but with
no installed Microsoft Excel 2010 (or higher versions). Accomplished
questionnaires shall be retrieved through personal visit of the SRs.
4
(2) Self-Administered Digital Questionnaire or SAQ-D, which shall be used

in barangays or in cities/municipalities with computers installed with Microsoft
Excel 2010 (or higher). Accomplished questionnaires can be submitted to the
PSO via email or through personal visit of the SRs.
For POPCEN-CBMS Form 5, additional two (2) modes can be used in the
barangay:
(3) Computer-Assisted Personal Interview or CAPI, which shall be used in

barangays that opt to be interviewed, have available computers with installed
Microsoft Excel 2010 (or higher), and are willing to lend these resources to the
SR during the interview. Accomplished questionnaires shall be retrieved right
after the interview is completed.
(4) Pen-and-Paper Personal Interview or PAPI, which shall be used in

barangays that opt to be interviewed but have no available computers with
installed Microsoft Excel 2010 (or higher). Accomplished questionnaires shall
be retrieved right after the interview is completed.
What materials shall we receive from PSA for this

activity?
During the orientation, the BPOs and C/MPOs shall receive the following files
and materials:

Accomplishing POPCEN-CBMS Form 5 (Barangay

Profile Questionnaire)
Proper accomplishment of the POPCEN-CBMS Forms is needed to achieve
completeness and accuracy of the collected data from the LGUs. Thus, SRs must
make sure that the C/MPOs and BPOs will gain the necessary knowledge during the
orientation, thereby minimizing the possibility of collecting erroneous and/or lacking
data.
Using SAQ-P and/or PAPI (Paper Format)

As both SAQ-P and PAPI modes of data collection require printing of forms,
the SR must first make sure that enough forms and corresponding pages had been
printed out prior to going to the LGUs to conduct the orientation and/or interview. The
SR must also ensure that all pages have been printed out properly and does not
contain any printing issues that might hinder the proper accomplishment of the
forms.
General Instructions
1. Boxes are found all throughout the questionnaire. Each box corresponds to
alpha/numeric response/s. Make sure that each number/letter is written inside
the box.
2. Use prescribed alphanumeric characters. If the response category for the

Meanwhile, the succeeding pages of POPCEN-CBMS contain other questions

about the barangay:
A. Barangay Characteristics and Community Facilities
For each question, enter the number or code corresponding to the answer provided
by the respondent. The excel will automatically proceed to the next item.
A01 – Is your barangay a…..
a. former población or central district of the city/municipality?

b. población/central district or part of the población/central district?
Enter or select code “1” in the box if the answer is “Yes”, otherwise, enter or
select code “2” if the answer is “No”.
12
A poblacion in a city/municipality or municipal district usually consists of one

or more barangays. Aside from being known as a political-administrative territorial
unit, it is also known as the “town proper” in which the town hall, church, school,
plaza, and other public facilities are located. It also serves as the center of
employment, education, health, entertainment, and cultural services. Also, the
central districts of chartered cities and provincial capitals are identified as
“poblaciones”.
A02 – Does your barangay have a street pattern, that is, a network of at least
three (3) streets or roads?
Enter code “1” in the box if the answer is “Yes”, otherwise, enter code “2” if
the answer is “No”.
Street pattern refers to a system of at least three streets running in either

parallel or right angle orientation. The streets may either be paved with cement or
asphalt, or unpaved provided it is wide enough for a four-wheel vehicle to pass
through.
A03 – Are there puroks or zones in the barangay?

A purok refers to a subdivision within a barangay, which serves as a unit for

delivering services and administration within such a smallest political unit. “Purok” is
often applied to a neighborhood (zone) within an urbanized barangay, or a portion
13
(district) of a less densely populated, but still relatively geographically compact.

(Source: PIDS and PSA)
A04 – What are the puroks or zones in the barangay?

If the answer for A03 is “1-YES”, click on the corresponding hyperlink to
proceed to the Lists sheet. Enter all the puroks or zones in the barangay. Select the
Section A-C sheet to continue. Refer to a document or complete list of puroks in the
barangay whenever available. In some cases, names of puroks can be written in
number or letters (e.g., Purok 7 or Purok Syete). Both answers are correct,
however, the respondent should enter the name officially recognized by the
barangay. Write the word “Purok” or “Zones” and its name for consistency and for
easy reference.
Notes:
1. If purok name is the same as with zone name, enter:
PUROK<NAME> OR ZONE<NAME>.
2. If the barangay is part of a zone, the zone location
details should be reported in the address of the
barangay hall/office.
3. Input in the REMARKS section any details that may be
unique to the barangay regarding their puroks/zones.
Example: “A04-BARANGAY 123 IS PART OF ZONE
ABC.
In PAPI, if the space provided is not enough to list all Purok or Zones, write the
remaining in the Remarks. Kindly note the total number of Purok or Zones for
verification.
A05 – Are there sitios in the barangay?

14
A sitio is not an administrative unit and its characteristics and geographical

boundaries are not officially defined by the government. However, it is commonly
understood, especially in rural areas, that a sitio is a geographical area that is part of
a rural barangay and usually distant from the center of barangay economic and
social activities. (Source: PIDS)
A06 – What are the sitios in the barangay?

If the answer for A05 is “1-YES”, click on the corresponding hyperlink to
proceed to the Lists sheet. Enter all the sitios in the barangay. Refer to a document
or complete list of puroks in the barangay whenever available. In some cases,
names of sitios can be written in number or letters (e.g., Sitio 2 or Sitio Dos). Both
answers are correct, however, the respondent should enter the name officially
recognized by the barangay. Write the word “Sitio” and its name for consistency and
for easy reference.
If the answer for A05 is “2-No”, proceed to A07. Cell in A06 will automatically
change to black which means to be skipped.
In PAPI, if the space provided is not enough to list all Sitio, write the remaining
in the Remarks. Kindly note the total number of Sitio for verification.
A07 - Which of the following types of land use does the barangay have?
This question will be used in reference of LGUs for the updating of the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) , Department of Human Settlements and
Urban Development (DHSUD) in verifying zone ordinances and CLUP of LGUs, and
barangays for their barangay profiles.
15
Select code “1” in the box if the answer is “Yes”, otherwise, select code “2” if
the answer is “No”. If the land classification is not included in the list, record the
specific land classification under, “Others, specify”

reservation already developed as military camps –

institutional; civil reservation areas already developed as
government centers – institutional.
Notes:
1. The basis for determination of land uses present in the
barangay are the existing/actual land uses map of the
LGU and not the proposed land use or zoning map of the
LGU. (e.g. Areas used for coconut production shall be
classified under Forest, forestland and agriculture. If the
current use of land is for research, classify it under
Institutional. If there are multiple uses, indicate “1-Yes” to
main use of the land.)
2. If LGUs have outdated maps, land use determination

should be based on their current knowledge on their
respective barangay territory and based on secondary
data sources such as Google Maps/Earth.
1. Mangroves “1-Yes” in Water

2. Chocolate Hills “1-Yes” in Forest, Forestland or Agriculture
17
3. Built-Up Areas “1-Yes” depending on land-use (usually mix of commercial,

residential, institutional, etc.)
4. Settlement Areas “1-Yes” in Residential
5. Irrigation dam “1-Yes” in Others, specify: Infrastructure
6. Priority Agricultural Areas “1-Yes” in Forest, Forestland or Agriculture
7. Alluvial Plains “1-Yes” depending on land-use
8. Forest “1-Yes” in Forest, Forestland or Agriculture
9. Tourism Facility “1-Yes” in Others, specify: Tourism
10. Industrial area “1-Yes” in Industrial
11. Military reservation “1-Yes” in Others, specify: Reservation area
A07.1 – Is your barangay engaged in palay farming?

the answer is “No”. If the answer in A07.1 is “1-Yes”, proceed to A07.1a. If “2-No”,
proceed to question A07.2. The reference period here would be for the past two
years (01 May 2022 to 30 April 2024).
a. Total agricultural land used in growing palay (ha) (ASK THE

RESPONDENT FOR THE TOTAL PALAY AREA IN THE BARANGAY.)
Ask the respondent for the total land area used in growing palay in hectares.
Note that 10,000 square meters is 1 hectare. The physical area should only be
reported once regardless of how many times the land was used during the reference
period (01 May 2023 to 30 April 2024).
b. Has there been any palay harvested in the barangay for the past two years
(01 May 2022 to 30 April 2024)?
The SR shall ask the respondent if there has been any palay harvest in the
barangay for the past two years. This will ensure that the barangay has palay
production for the recent years and is engaged in palay farming.
A07.2 – Is your barangay engaged in corn farming?

the answer is “No”. If the answer in A07.2 is “1-Yes”, proceed to A07.2a. If “2-No”,
18
proceed to question A08. The reference period here would be for the past two years
(01 May 2022 to 30 April 2024).
a. Total agricultural land used in growing corn (ha) (ASK THE RESPONDENT
FOR THE TOTAL PALAY AREA IN THE BARANGAY.)
Ask the respondent for the total land area used in growing corn in hectares.
Note that 10,000 square meters is 1 hectare. The physical area should only be
reported once regardless of how many times the land was used during the reference
period (01 May 2023 to 30 April 2024).
b. Has there been any corn harvested in the barangay for the past two years
(01 May 2022 to 30 April 2024)?
The SR shall ask the respondent if there has been any corn harvest in the
barangay for the past two years. This will ensure that the barangay has corn
production for the recent years and is engaged in corn farming.
For Case 2, main land used to be reported should be determined based on its
major use, that is the largest area devoted to a particular use. If the land area
criterion is not possible, main land use to be reported is based on the highest value
of production from a particular land use.
19
Case 3: If the land is planted with palay at least one point in time during the reference
period (2 years) and also planted with corn within the reference period, record land
area for both palay and corn.
In this case, that is: 2 Ha for Palay and 2 Ha for Corn
A08 – Is this barangay accessible from the national highway?

Enter code “1” in the box if the answer is “1 – YES”, and answer the second
question of A10.1. Otherwise, enter code “2” in the box if the answer is “No”, and
skip to question A09.
A08.1 – IF YES, what is the distance in kilometers between the nearest

point of this barangay and the national highway using the access road?
Nearest point of the barangay from the national highway using the access
road refers to the point in the barangay having the shortest distance from the
national highway using the access road. Access roads are roads passable by four-
wheel motor vehicles.
If a national highway cuts across the barangay, the shortest distance

will be zero (0). Hence, for the first question in A10.1, enter code “1” in the box if the
answer is “Yes”.

For island barangays that can only be reached by boats, ask if the
barangay is accessible to a national highway. When asking for the distance to the
national highway, advise the respondent to consider the routes traversed by ferry
boats, motorboats, and others, as access paths. Ask for the access path having the
shortest distance between the island barangay and the national highway.
For non-island barangays, ask for the nearest point in the barangay to reach
the national highway using an access road. Ask the respondent the distance in
kilometers between this point and the national highway using the access road.
Example:
Suppose a barangay can be reached using trails or man-made roads passing

through mountains, rivers and others, and through an access road. Point A which
can be reached from the national highway using trails should not be considered as
the nearest point of the barangay from the national highway. Point B, which can be
reached using the access road, is the nearest point from the national highway. Refer
to the illustration.
In the example, the distance that should be reported for Barangay Camias is
