Completeness of 2021 Vital Statistics

Requested from PSA by S. Clakr at 08:41 PM on Apr 23, 2023.
Purpose: Research and development. Public accountability.
Date of Coverage: 01/01/2021 - 12/31/2021
Tracking no: #PSA-434461709969

Clakr 08:41 PM, Apr 23, 2023 

1)  Please advise if there will be any further updates of the 2021 population vital statistics on births, deaths, marriages.  This data was only effective as of March 31, 2022 (as advised via FOI), and never updated for delayed regs.  

2) 2021 All cause mortality has not been broken down further than the provincial level.  Will PSA be providing the by-city breakdown (similar to prior years)?  If so, when? 

3) 2021 Cause of death has not been updated for any information aside from the top 10 causes of deaths.  Will PSA be providing a full breakdown (similar to previous years) of 2021 COD?

Dear Sally Clakr,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Apr 23, 2023 08:41:10 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

You asked for Completeness of 2021 Vital Statistics.

Your FOI request is approved. 

Per our coordination with our Vital Statistics Division, kindly refer to their responses:

1.  Since civil registration is a continuous process, there is a need to establish a certain cut-off period. The 2021 statistical tables released in February 2023 pertain to vital events that occurred from January to December 2021 and registered until March 2022.  Updates on the 2021 births, marriages and deaths (registered until December 2022) will be available in the 2022 Vital Statistics Report scheduled for release in 2024.

2.  The table on all cause mortality by region, province, city/municipal levels was released and posted on our website in February 2023.

3.  The table on the causes of death was released and posted on our website in February 2023.

Hope these clarify your inquiries. 

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Noel G. Perez
(Information Technology Officer III)
