Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) has always been aiming for the best; to deliver its service with integrity, transparency, and adaptability. In its fifth year in 2018 with the theme “Happy PSA, Healthy PSA”, which promotes work-life balance, we strived and continued to perform our mandate as the primary statistical arm of the government while we nurture the body, mind, heart, and spirit of our people, the greatest asset of our organization.

Year 2018 is marked as a year when the PSA nourished holistically its human resource. It equipped its people with learning and development opportunities to enrich their career and also their personal lives with knowledge and skills. Various trainings in statistical, administrative, managerial, leadership and psychological were given to many of the personnel. The office has become very encouraging to its people to engage in the socio-civic endeavors that further strengthen the social responsibility of the organization.

With all of those capacity building activities, the men and women of our organization became ready to face the challenges of the demands of our job. We are more engaged because we are confident that we all could keep up with inno-vations.

As an institution, our pursuit for the continual improvement of the quality management system despite all the hard work and challenges has been a success. Passing the re-certification of ISO 9001:2015 concluded last 7 December 2018, as a result of the Third-Party Audit conducted by TUV Rheinland last 23 November 2018, was one of the testaments of our unfailing dedication and commitment to strive for the best in bringing its service to the public.

At this point, in behalf of the people who invested their time and effort with dedication, determination and inspiration in carrying out the mandates of the institution, it is my pleasure to present the 2018 Annual Report of PSA-Albay. This encapsulates the accomplishments of the provincial office in 2018 encompassing civil registration, financial service, administrative service, human resource service, information dissemination, and partnership and linkages.

As we go aboard 2019, PSA will incorporate more innova-tion in its operation; thus, we are confident that PSA-Albay is prepared to take a leap on the next challenging phase.
