Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey [hh/sems]
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.

Sampling
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.
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.
Following were the final sample for each round:
Round 1 - 9,448
Round 2 - 1,805
Round 3 - 2,122
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.
