The i-Stats is one of the services being offered by the NSCB on the internet in line with its continuing commitment to facilitate access to the products of the Philippine Statistical System by as wide a range of clientele as possible. The database uses the PC-AXIS software which was developed by Statistics Sweden. Statistics Sweden has authorized the NSCB to use the software in packaging and disseminating statistics in the Philippines. The cost of the software license was funded by the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) as part of the National Statistical Information Center Project of the NSCB. The databases can be accessed at its website (www.nscb.gov.ph/ru5) on a subscription scheme. A FREE TOUR is available to provide a preview to users on the contents and capabilities of the databases.
