The 2nd level training of QAqS and QIFS was conducted on 13 June 2025 at PSO-Agusan del Sur training room. The training was attended by five enumerators and spearheaded by Statistical Specialist II Elvisa A. Delos Santos who served as the resource speaker. The field operation is from 16 to 24 June 2025 with a total of 198 and 85 sample households for QAqS and QIFS, respectively.

Fisheries is one of the economic sectors of the country. QAqS serves as the activity that gathers information on volume and price of species harvested in the aquafarms. On the other hand QIFS collects information on volume and price of species caught by inland fishing households.

It is crucial that all personnel involved in the collection, processing, and analysis of the QAqS and QIFS data understands the strategies and procedures to ensure the quality of data collected, completeness, and consistency. The survey data will be used to generate volume and value of both inland and aquaculture production by type, species and quarter at the provincial, regional and national levels.

The training provided the enumerators the essential information and skills to conduct the survey successfully.
