WHEREAS, the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) was created thru Executive Order No. 121 as the highest policy-making and coordinating body on statistical matters in the Philippine Statistical System (PSS);
WHEREAS, to help fulfill its mandate of policymaking and coordination, the NSCB Executive Board creates Technical Committees (TCs), Interagency Committees (IACs) and Task Forces (TFs) to serve as mechanisms for coordination and perform, among others, the following functions:
- To serve as fora for the exchange of views and expertise to resolve technical issues and problems of statistical data users and producers;
- To recommend to the Board measures for improving the manner and form of reporting the statistics, including the techniques and methodologies employed in its production; and
