Boundary conflicts, especially between villages and municipalities or cities, are slowing down the ongoing Population Census-Community-Based Monitoring System of the Philippine Statistics Authority in Negros Oriental, an official said on Tuesday. Ariel Fortuito, chief statistical specialist of PSA-Negros Oriental, said field enumerators had to skip some households pending the resolution of conflicts.
Fortuito noted that some officials are not fully updated about their geographical boundaries and would insist that constituents, voters and supporters they serve should be counted in their areas of jurisdiction. Some people also have houses sitting on the boundary of adjacent villages, he added. Under the CBMS, a census board chaired by the local chief executive and national agencies sitting as members will decide on specific issues, such as boundary conflicts.
