The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) – Quirino Provincial Statistical Office successfully conducted the 1st Preliminary Data Review on the 2024 Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) for the Province of Quirino.

The presentation of preliminary CBMS data was facilitated by Chief Statistical Specialist (CSS) Engr. Cherry Grace D. Agustin, Senior Statistical Specialists (SrSS) Marison S. Lomboy and Ma. Juvy S.

She also expressed her appreciation for the active participation and continued support of LGU Aglipay—especially through the partnership with the Municipal Planning and Development Office (MPDO), headed by Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator, Ms. Lailane T. Cabato, EnP. —in the successful conduct of the 2024 CBMS.

The activity was attended by twenty-one (21) participants from various offices of the LGU Aglipay, as well as two (2) participants each from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP).

The PSA Quirino extends its gratitude to the LGU Aglipay and all participating agencies for their commitment to improving local governance through quality statistics.
