Interviewer instructions
Persons to be Included in the Enumeration
The POPCEN will enumerate all living persons as of 12:01 a.m. September 1, 1995 and who are:
1. Filipino nationals permanently residing in the Philippines;
2. Filipino nationals who are on board coastal, interisland, fishing or ocean-going vessels or are temporarily abroad as of census date;
3. Filipino overseas workers as of census date;
4. Philippine government officials, both military and civilian, including Philippine diplomatic personnel and their families, assigned abroad; and
5. Civilian citizens of foreign countries having their usual residence in the Philippines or foreign visitors who have stayed or are expected to stay for at least a year from the time of their arrival in this country.
Boundary cases should be treated as follows:
1. A person who died after 12:01 a.m. September 1, 1995 should be included in the enumeration.
Example:
The enumerator interviewed the Reyes household on September 10, 1995 and he was told that Mario died on September 4, 1995. The enumerator should include Mario along with other members of the household because he was still alive on September 1, 1995, which is the reference day of the census.
2. A person who died before or at exactly 12:01 A.M. on September 1, 1995, should be excluded from the enumeration. Example: Anselmo Gaspar died from a heart attack at midnight (12:00 P.M.) of August 31, 1995. The enumerator should not include Anselmo as a household member of the Gaspar household. He was no longer
[p. 25 ]
alive at 12:01 A.M., September 1, 1995 and therefore, he is not part of the population as of census date.
3. A baby born before or at exactly 12:01 A.M. of September 1, 1995 should be included in the enumeration.
4. A baby born after 12:01 A.M., September 1, 1995 should be excluded from the enumeration.
Example:
Santiago, Ismael
_______, Rodora A.
________, Teresa
De la Fuente, Jose
__________, Karmela
In some parts of the country, people do not have surnames. If you encounter such a case, just write the name as given.
4. As the respondent names the household members, ask the member's relationship to the household head and if the member is an overseas worker.
Write down the appropriate code for Relationship to HH Head in column P2. The code should be one of the 22 codes listed in the Codes Sheet.
If the member is an overseas worker, encircle " 1 " in column P3. Otherwise, encircle "2".
5. If a household has more than eight (8) members, you will need to use additional sheets of CP Form 2. To cue you on this, the shaded question "ARE THERE MORE THAN 8 MEMBERS IN THIS HOUSEHOLD?" found at the bottom of the page of CP Form 2 is addressed to you and should not to be asked of the respondent. If there are more than 8 members in the household, encircle 1 -- YES, and get another sheet for the household; otherwise, encircle 2 -- No. If two sheets of CP Form 2 are used, line-out the pre-printed line numbers on the second sheet and write on top the new line numbers. Thus, for the second sheet replace line number "01" with "09", "02" with "10" and so on until you list the last member in the household.
6. After listing all members of the household in P1, ask the shaded question "Are there any other persons such as small children or infants that we have not listed?" Check appropriate box. If the answer is yes, add his name on the list. If 2 sheets of questionnaires are being used, check the appropriate box on the second sheet only. Verify further by asking "Are there anyone who is usually a member of this
[p. 88 ]
household but is presently away from home on business, on vacation, in school, etc.?" If another name is given, determine if the person is a member according to the rules on household membership. If he is, add his name to the list.
7. Draw a horizontal line across P1 after the name of the last household member and affix your initials above this line; afterwards draw an X-mark down to line number 8.
