In grateful recognition of the University of Bohol’s unwavering support and cooperation in the conduct of the 2025 Quarterly Survey of Philippine Business and Industry (QSPBI), the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) honored the institution during the QSBI Regional Respondent’s Forum held on November 10, 2025, in One Central Hotel and Suites, Cebu City, Cebu.
The award highlights the University’s steadfast participation in PSA surveys and data collection initiatives, which have significantly contributed to the agency’s efforts in producing and disseminating reliable official statistics used to monitor and evaluate the country’s economic performance.
As a learning institution, UB commits itself to supporting the government in providing timely and accurate economic indicators that guide policy formulation and decision-making, and promote evidence-based planning and governance grounded in transparency, accountability, and informed judgment. UB believes that through the consistent and up-to-date submission of quarterly reports to the PSA, it can help advance both economic development and good governance in the country. The efficient and timely submission of these reports also supports research-based interventions aimed at addressing the needs of both public and private stakeholders.
The recognition was personally presented by Wilma A. Perante, Director II and Officer-in-Charge, Regional Director of PSA–RSSO 7, to the University of Bohol, representative Ms. Marieson D. Israel. Notably, UB was one of the few awardees in Bohol.
The Philippine Statistics Authority serves as the government’s central statistical agency, responsible for collecting, compiling, and publishing official data on the nation’s economic, social, demographic, and political affairs—ensuring accurate information for sound policy and decision-making.
