Correct data results to reliable stats – NSO
BACOLOD CITY — Accurate data supplied on Civil Registry forms will result to reliable statistics in our country.
This was the gist of Negros Occ. National Statistics Office (NSO) Chief Fred Sollesta message during a one-day seminar on the importance of registrations under the New Revised Rule of 2007 that covers birth, marriage, death and other Civil Registry forms.
The training was held at the Korean Grill Bar at 24th Lacson St. spearheaded by the chief of the solemnizing association of ministers in Negros Occ. and university professor Joy Vingno.
Participants were mostly midwives of the Midwife Family Well Clinic chain of medical centers, officiating ministers in the province, academe and from other professions.
NSO Regional Director Norman Julag-ay said the office is set to use new set of forms and the activity will ensure that the implementers are ready to use it once the new forms are made available.
He said the result of wrong entries in the past has swarmed the NSO and the Civil Registrar’s Office of clerical error works that entails extra expense and time for the concerned.
He said the office is trying its best to avoid this scenario through seminars like this that involves frontline personnel like the midwives that prepare birth certificates and ministers who officiate marriage and death rites. (PIA-LOL)
