PSA Iloilo urges support for 2025 migration survey

The Philippine Statistics Authority–Iloilo Provincial Statistical Office is calling on the public to support the conduct of the 2025 National Migration Survey.

PSA’s authority to implement the survey is based on Republic Act No. 10625 and Executive Order No. 87, series of 2025, which updates the list of designated statistical activities that generate critical data for decision-making by government and private sectors.

This will be the second round of the National Migration Survey, with the first conducted in May 2018 by the University of the Philippines Population Institute in partnership with PSA.

The survey aims to gather data on population mobility to help policymakers and program managers evaluate and design strategies for improving services for Filipinos moving within the country or abroad.

On Feb. 16, 2024, the PSA Board approved the conduct of the survey every 10 years starting in 2025, through PSA Board Resolution No. 16, Series of 2024.

In Iloilo, the survey will cover 789 households—386 in Iloilo province and 403 in Iloilo City—assigned to 10 enumerators.

The enumeration period will run for 29 days, from Aug. 4 to Sept. 5, 2025, including Saturdays.

All stakeholders, especially selected households, are urged to support the 2025 National Migration Survey.
