    Preliminaries in a Data
    Collection Activity
    “Confidentiality of Information”
    • Data confidentiality is about protecting
    data against unintentional, unlawful, or
    unauthorized access, disclosure, or theft.

     In statistical activities, facts are collected


    from respondents for purposes of getting
    aggregate information, but confidentiality
    should be protected.
    Did you know?
    The Government, through the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), conducts
    censuses to obtain information about socio-demographic characteristics of the residents
    of the country. Census data are used by the Government to make plans, such as how
    many schools and hospitals to build.
    PSA was created from the four former statistical agencies, namely: National
    Statistics Office (NSO), National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), Bureau of
    Labor and Employment of Statistics (BLES), and Bureau of Agricultural Statistics
    (BAS).
    Contextualization of Data

    Data - are facts and figures that are presented, collected


    and analyzed. Data are either numeric or non-numeric
    and must be contextualized.
    How to Contextualized Data?
     To contextualized data we must know the six W’s of the data.
    The six W’s of the data:
    1. Who? Who provided the data?
    2. What? What are the information from the respondents?
    3. When? When was the data collected?
    4. Where? Where was the data collected?
    5. Why? Why was the data collected?
    6. HoW? HoW was the data collected?
    Contextualization of data is important because it adds
    depth and meaning to raw information. It helps in
    making informed decisions, ensures accuracy, and
    allows for effective utilization of data in various
    applications.
    Take note:
    • Providing correct information in a government data collection activity is a
    responsibility of every citizen in the country.
    • Data confidentiality is important in a data collection activity.
    • Census is collecting data from all possible respondents.
    • Data to be collected must be clarified before the actual data collection.
    • Data must be contextualized by answering six W-questions.
