The NSCB leads in the promotion of statistical awareness through the annual National Statistics Month (NSM) and the conduct of the National Convention on Statistics (NCS) every three years.

The NSM is observed every October of the year pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 647 issued on September 20, 1990, declaring the month of October of every year as the National Statistics Month. The nationwide celebration aims to enhance the importance of statistics in development and to promote public awareness and appreciation of the value of statistics in the different sectors of society. The annual celebration started in 1990 and every year a particular theme is selected to give focus to the event.

In keeping with the need to regularly conduct intelligent discussions on the developments in the fields of statistics, the PSS, with the NSCB at the helm, holds the NCS every three years. The conference aims to provide a forum to stimulate international exchange of scientific information, knowledge and experiences on statistical methods and computing.
