DDI Quality Review Workshop held for Bureau of Labor and Employment Statistics and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Philippines (Tagaytay City, 23-27 November 2009)

A DDI Quality Review Workshop was held for the Bureau of Labor and Employment Statistics (BLES) and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) in Tagaytay City, Philippines from 23 to 27 November 2009. The follow-up workshop was held four months after the Toolkit Training in August 2009. The Division Chiefs sat down with their staff to ensure correct and standardized entries in each Metadata Editor field. Ms. Teresa Peralta, OIC-Director of BLES, proposed for an internal workshop aimed at harmonizing the documentation of BLES surveys. A BLES manual for survey documentation is expected to be produced out of the said workshop. Documentation of other surveys will be guided by the Manual. The agency plans to launch its own web-based data archive as soon as the DDIs have been finalized.
