Counting Pinoys, The Philippine Census 2010


As the Philippine Census 2010 starts Monday this week, reports of teachers having a hard time doing their job aired on 24 Oras of GMA 7. An incident of dog bitting was even reported, together with teachers being made to wait under the extreme heat of the sun just to fulfill their duty of asking statics questionnaire that would only take 15 minutes long to answer.

This was a truly saddening scenario for teachers who are merely doing a public service for us Filipinos. The 2010 census aims to verify the NSO estimate of 92 million Filipinos based on the 2.04 percent growth rate in 2007. However, since there wasn't even any information campaign regarding the 2010 census, teachers were faced with un-cooperative and security-conscious home owners.
