Satellite NSIC in Capiz:
Another statistical breakthrough in the WV Statistical System


 

      Hon. Victor A. Tanco, Governor of Capiz Province and Dr. Romulo A. Virola, Secretary General of National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) inked the Memo of Agreement (MOA) for establishment of a National Statistical Information Center (NSIC) in the Province of Capiz. This is the 4th satellite NSIC in the Philippines at the provincial level. NSIC: Capiz establishment follows that of Antique (3rd), Negros Occidental (2nd), and Guimaras (1st), all in Western Visayas.

     The need for an NSIC as one-stop shop for statistical information and services gained priority attention of the Provincial Government of Capiz, recognizing the importance of statistics in the day-to-day planning and decision-making endeavors of planners in the province. With the birth of NSIC: Capiz, the province also dreams of documenting and archiving all statistics about Capiz – historical, cultural, socio-economic, and as eco-tourism hub.

     NSIC: Capiz is foreseen to benefit the entire statistical community - planners, workers, professionals, students, and other interest groups in the Province – saving and easing them the burden of hopping from one agency to the other looking for data.  Initially, the following services and facilities will be offered: (1) a Statistical Library, containing collection of publications and reference materials on various statistical concerns; (2) Technical Inquiry Services, where clients can forward their statistical inquiries via phone, fax, and email; (3) a Bookshoppe where statistical publications of agencies will be displayed for sale; and (4) Frontline Services, where staff-on-duty will assist researchers to locate needed data in the library and/or make proper referral to the Regional NSIC or to agency data producers.

     The Provincial Government of Capiz through its PPDO and the NSCB through its Regional Division 6 closely coordinate with each other in preparation for the launching of NSIC: Capiz tentatively scheduled in May 2009.  NSIC: Capiz will be located in the compound of Villareal Stadium in Roxas City, fronting Capiz State University (CapSU) and with proximity to La Salle University-Capiz, St. Anthony’s College of Nursing, and Capiz High School.
