SAN JOSE, Antique (PIA) -- The celebration of National Statistics Month (NSM) 2022 here opened with a statistical exhibit at 3/F Robinsons Antique, October 3.

The statistical exhibit, which includes the 2020 Census of Housing and Population and 2021 Poverty Statistics, intends to promote the relevance of data and statistics to policy decisions and their implementation, as well as to the recovery of the province from the pandemic.

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and the Provincial Planning and Development Office-Research and Statistics Division (PPDO-RSD) are the lead agencies in the NSM celebration, with the theme “Boosting the country’s recovery with informed decisions, better policies.”
