This latest CES was conducted Jan. 19 to Jan. 31 with a sample drawn from the Philippine Statistics Authority's Master Sample of Households—considered a representative sample of families across the country. The survey covered 5,467 households, of which half is based in Metro Manila and the other half outside the national capital region.
