WATCH | The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) commemorated the 86th Anniversary of Commonwealth Act No. 591 and the 59th Founding Anniversary of the ASEAN through a back-to-back celebration, honoring the agency’s institutional journey and its growing role in the ASEAN region.

The event featured dedicated exhibits showcasing the history and progress of Philippine official statistics, as well as the Philippines’ continuing cooperation with its ASEAN neighbors. It also brought together key PSA officials personnel in celebrating these two important milestones.

A pop quiz was also held to test personnel’s knowledge of the Commonwealth Act No. 591 and the ASEAN.

This celebration reminds us of how far Philippine statistics have come, and the work that remains as we move forward with our ASEAN partners. 🤝
