The Philippine Statistics Authority-Aklan assured their respondents of the confidentiality of information given to their data collectors as they start conducting surveys this April.
According to Provincial Statistics Officer Antonet B. Catubuan, all data provided by respondents in surveys are treated with utmost confidentiality and cannot be used for taxation, investigation or for other law enforcement purposes.
“No reference to an individual or a corporation will appear on the results because responses will be summarized into statistical tables,” Catubuan said.
She emphasized that whoever breached the confidentiality of information, whether by carelessness or improper behavior, will be liable as provided by Section 27 of RA 10625 (Philippine Statistical Act of 2013), and Section 7 of RA 6713 (Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards of Public Officials and Employees).
“Responses to surveys are very crucial in generating quality statistics used in the formulation of policies and economic development plans,” PSO Catubuan explained.
That is why she urged respondents to support PSA surveys by giving truthful and complete answers to field data collectors.
