Hi. Thank you for the quick response and for reaching out for clarification. I am a COSW ISA I of PSA Bohol and I was asked to assist in researching data for the office's publication, Countryside in Figures, for the year 2021. Attached is a copy of my office ID.
With the "Top 10 information highlights on tourism in Bohol," we hope to get a briefer or summary of requested data. If this description is too general, it is okay to skip this part in the request.
We hope this site could help us in this publication to not only make the project informative but also meaningful. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
