It can be recalled that the LGU-Bislig hired 129 personnel intended for CBMS implementation in the city who will do the census of the households. A Press Conference was conducted before the implementation to provide information drive and public awareness.

The census of household activity needs a hundred percent participation from the community in collecting, processing, and validating necessary disaggregated data.
