The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) granted clearance for the conduct of the Survey on the Socioeconomic Status of Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Rehabilitation (Z3R) Housing Beneficiaries in Mariki and Kasanyangan, Zamboanga City by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Region IX. The survey aims to evaluate the impact of Z3R Stilt Housing Relocation on the socioeconomic recovery of Zamboanga City Siege internally displaced persons.

The study will collect data to determine the difference between those relocated/resettled and non-relocated households in terms of the following:
     a. household income and diversity of income-generating activities;
     b. expenditures and assets (savings and valuable belongings);
     c. disaster susceptibility and employment opportunity;
     d. child nutrition and educational aptitude; and
     e. satisfaction and housing retention.

The activity will utilize a total budget of PhP 1.9 million to interview 286 households in Zamboanga City. Results of the survey are scheduled to be released in February 2024.

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 RA No. 10625 to:

     a. ensure sound design for data collection;
     b. minimize the burden placed upon respondents;
     c. effect economy in statistical data collection;
     d. eliminate unnecessary duplication of statistical data collection efforts; and 
     e. achieve better coordination of government statistical activities.

In line with this, the PSA enjoins all household target beneficiaries in Region IX to support and participate in the survey by providing the truthful information.
