19 March 2019 Dear Mr. Balajadia: You requested for information on “Population Distribution and other data (Population, Age, Gender, Source of Income) of Sama-Bajau peoples in the Philippines, per Province/City (e.g. Tawi-Tawi, Sulu, Zamboanga City, Subic, Manila, Taguig, etc.) from 2008-2018.” Unfortunately, the DSWD does not have the information you need. Thus, we are constrained to deny your request. You may direct your request through this portal to the Philippine Statistical Authority (PSA), the government agency responsible for preparing and conducting periodic censuses on population (including records for the Sama-Bajau peoples), housing, agriculture, fisheries, business, industry and other sectors of the economy. The PSA may have the data you need. You may also contact the PSA by telephone at 462-6600 locals 839, 833 and 834 or via email at [email protected]. Very truly yours, Carlo Florendo C.
