This document provides instructions for filling out the CBMS Computation Sheet, which is used to record computations from household survey responses. It describes filling in the geographic identification details at the top, recording computations for items like age, income, and food expenditures on the sheet, and including remarks and interviewer details at the bottom. An example of a completed computation sheet is also illustrated. The purpose is to help interviewers and supervisors rationalize responses and check data completeness.

About the Section
The CBMS Computation Sheet is used to record computations of the EN. Data items such as
on age, number of hours worked, family income, area of parcel, total food consumption/
expenditure on food items, and area/volume of palaisdaan/aquafarm will require computations.
Thus, such computation sheet will come in handy.
Each CBMS Form 2 should have a computation sheet attached to it. It is important to record
computations so that the TS/CAS/Head CAS and data processors will be able to rationalize the
entries or responses in the above-mentioned data items.

Instructions:
1. Fill out the Geographic Identification panel. Record the region, province, city/municipality,
barangay, enumeration area, BSN, HUSN, HSN as well as the name of respondent. Make sure
that the geo-ID recorded here is the same as the geo-ID of the CBMS Form 2 (HPQ) of that
particular household.

2. On the Computation Sheet, record all computations. Use the list of food items to be
considered for food consumption expenditure computation as reference. Note that food items
that are own-produced by the household (i.e., part of family sustenance activities) should also
be valued in PHP.

Section T: Instructions In Filling Out CBMS Computation Sheet 5
Instructions:
3. Use the lower portion of the Computation Sheet to record Remarks about the
interview/household.
4. On the bottom part of the computation sheet, write your EN code and name. Affix your
signature and date the interview was completed.

6. Republic of the Philippines
Philippine Statistics Authority
Section T: Instructions In Filling Out CBMS Computation Sheet 6
Instructions:
5. Refer to Illustration 14.1 below for an example of an accomplished computation sheet.
6. During weekly meetings, submit the computation sheets of the uploaded data files/completed
interviews to the TS who will then transmit these to the CAS, Head CAS and so on. Such will
be part of the completeness checks of the supervisors and data processors. Regardless of the
mode of data collection, a computation sheet should be prepared and submitted by the EN.
