The BAPS will utilize a total budget of Php 4.7 million for maintenance and other operating expenses such as travelling expenses, communications, supplies, training and seminar, representation, printing expense and other expenses.
The results of the survey are expected to be released in December 2018.
The survey was reviewed and cleared for conduct under the Statistical Survey Review and Clearance System (SSRCS), a mechanism being implemented by the PSA by virtue of Rule 28 of Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act (RA) No. 10625 to:
