Technical Notes
Persons Included in the Census Enumeration - Included in the enumeration were those
who were alive as of the census reference date, that is, 12:01 a.m. of May 1, 2020:
1. Filipino nationals permanently residing in the Philippines;
2. Filipino nationals who, as of May 1, 2020, were temporarily at Philippine sea, or were
temporarily on vacation, business/pleasure trip or studying/training abroad and were
expected to be back within a year from the date of departure;
3. Filipino overseas workers, including those on board in oceangoing vessels, who were
away as of May 1, 2020 but were expected to be back within five years;
4. Philippine government officials, both military and civilian, including Philippine

diplomatic personnel and their families, assigned abroad; and,
5. Civilian citizens of foreign countries who have their usual residence in the Philippines,
or foreign visitors who had stayed or are expected to stay for at least a year from the
date of their arrival in this country.
Usual Place of Residence - All persons were enumerated in their usual place of residence
which refers to the geographic place (street, barangay, city/municipality or province) where
the person usually resides. As a rule, a person’s usual place of residence is the place where
that person sleeps most of the time. Hence, it may be the same as or different from the place
where he/she was found at the time of the census.
Household - A household is a social unit consisting of a person living alone or a group of

person who sleep in the same housing unit and have a common arrangement in the
preparation and consumption of food.
In most cases, a household consists of persons who are related by kinship ties, like parents
and their children. In some instances, several generations of familial ties are represented in
one household while, still in others, even more distant relatives are members of the household.
Household helpers, boarders, and nonrelatives are considered as members of the household
provided they sleep in the same housing unit and have common arrangement for the
preparation and consumption of food and do not usually go home to their family at least once
a week.
A person who shares a housing unit with a household but separately cooks his/her meals or
consumes his/her food elsewhere is not considered a member of the household he/she shares
the housing unit with. This person is listed as a separate household.
Household Population - Household population refers to all persons who are members of the
household.
Institutional Living Quarter - An institutional living quarter (ILQ) is a structurally separate

and independent place of abode intended for habitation by large groups of individuals (10 or
more). Such quarter usually has certain common facilities such as kitchen and dining rooms,
toilet and bath, and lounging areas, which are shared by the occupants.

Institutional Population - An institutional population comprises of persons who are found
living in ILQs. They may have their own families or households elsewhere but at the time of
census, they are committed or confined in institutions, or they live in ILQs and are usually
subject to a common authority or management, or are bound by either a common public
objective or a common personal interest.
Method of Enumeration - The gathering of population and housing data was performed by
census enumerators through house-to-house visits and interview of a responsible member of
each household. Self-Administered Questionnaires (SAQ) were provided to households living
in special areas such as exclusive subdivisions/villages, condominiums, and others, and
institutions where personal interview was not possible. A complete listing of buildings which
contain living quarters, including vacant ones, as well as housing units and institutional living
quarters was also done.
A combination of complete enumeration and sampling of households was done to obtain

population count and data on basic characteristics of the household population and housing
units. For institutional population, a complete enumeration was done.
The non-sample households were interviewed using the Common Household Questionnaire
(CPH Form 2) while the sample households were interviewed using the Sample Household
Questionnaire (CPH Form 3). Institutional population in institutional living quarters was
enumerated using the Institutional Population Questionnaire (CPH Form 4). These
questionnaires were used to gather information on the demographic and socio-economic
characteristics of the population, as well as the characteristics of households and housing
units.
