During the activity, it was highlighted that the participation of the municipal and barangay officials in the data collection activities of the 2024 Census of Population and Community-Based Monitoring System (POPCEN-CBMS) will provide a more precise view of the developments and priority needs of the barangays.

The collected data on barangay profiles shall be used to update the urban-rural classification of barangays. Meanwhile, the listing of service facilities and government projects shall serve as a reference file in the conduct of the geotagging of service facilities and government projects for the 2024 POPCEN-CBMS.
