By virtue of Executive Order No. 121, the NSCB was created in 1987 replacing the NEDA Statistical Coordination Office and the Statistical Advisory Board. Its objective is to achieve the development of an orderly statistical system capable of providing timely, accurate, sufficient, and useful data needed in planning and decision making. It seeks to develop a statistical system characterized by independence, objectivity and integrity. It adheres to the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics adopted by the United Nations Statistical Commission that promote the generation and dissemination of official statistics that are free from political interference.
