Series Information
The World Bank has provided support to countries to help mitigate the spread and impact of COVID-19. A key area of support is data collection to inform evidence-based policies to help mitigate the effects of this disease. In the Philippines, 3 rounds of phone surveys have been implemented to monitor the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic. Succeeding rounds are planned to further document these impacts as well as recovery. These will be included in future version updates of this series.
Abstract
The Philippines COVID-19 Households Survey represents an important part of the World Bank’s real time monitoring of COVID-19 impacts along with firm and community surveys. It aims to assess the impact of the pandemic on households’ food security and welfare, their coping strategies, education, socio-emotional state, and public policy responses. A survey firm carried out phone surveys (based on a sample frame that the firm has maintained) and self-administered web surveys facilitated by Telecommunication Firms’ (Telcos) text blasts and social media advertisement campaigns distributing the web link to the survey questions. The survey instrument and procedures have been designed in accordance with the best practices laid out by the World Bank’s COVID-19 methodology and measurement task force. The average length of the survey was 30-40 minutes and were rolled out during key periods at the course of the pandemic.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The mixed method combining both phone and web-based surveys was employed to ensure coverage of individuals from different socio-economic backgrounds. In the self-administered online survey (CAWI), respondents received notifications through text blast and social media ads. The text blast was coordinated by the National Economic Development Authority through the National Telecommunications Commission. In the other hand, the phone survey (CATI) specifically targeted to lower income households from an existing list of the partner survey firm with a target sample of 3,000 respondents.
Deviations from the Sample Design
In rounds 2 and 3, the survey was limited to phone interviews (CATI) from the panel of 5,049 respondents in round 1. Target number of respondents was 3,000.
The team decided to simplify the methodology in the succeeding rounds due to resource constraints.

Round 1 - 9,448
Round 2 - 1,805
Round 3 - 2,122
Round 1 - 9,448
Round 2 - 1,805

Weighting
The sample was weighted using the Survey of Wellbeing via Instant and Frequent Tracking (SWIFT) tool to place each household in the income distribution to match the 2018 Family Income and Expenditure.
Full documentation of the weighting procedure is included in the external resources.
