As a supervisor, you will use the aforementioned CBMS forms during the enumeration or supervision period. You will submit the forms that you have accomplished to your immediate supervisor during and/or after the listing and enumeration period. The CBMS Mobile Application is designed to accommodate the electronic submission of the CBMS Forms 16 and 17. Meanwhile, other CBMS forms listed above are to be printed by the PSO and distributed to the Head CAS; then the Head CAS to the CASs; and the CASs to the TSs.

CBMS Form 8a (Notice of Listing/Enumeration)

The CBMS Form 8a or the Notice of Listing/Enumeration is used to indicate that a household/vacant housing unit/building has already been enumerated. This is posted by the ENs after a completed household interview or enumeration (for the special cases).

In the conduct of reinterviews, the reinterview indicator part (enclosed in the red box below) of the CBMS Form 8a should be filled out.

The following are the instructions in filling out the reinterview indicator of the CBMS Form 8a during reinterviews:

  1. Locate the CBMS Form 8a and check if it is properly filled out by the EN.

    The EA, BSN, HUSN, HSN and Date of Enumeration should not be blank.

  2. Indicate the date of reinterview in the lower right part of the listing notice, following the format MM/DD/YYYY.

  3. Put a check mark on the line that corresponds to the designation of the one conducting the reinterview (can be from the CO, RSSO, PSO, LGU, other agencies or the HCAS, CAS and TS).

In the example above, the reinterview was conducted by the TS on July 17, 2022.

CBMS Form 9 (Transmittal and Receipt Form)

CBMS Form 9 will be used whenever tablet/ICT equipment, questionnaires, forms, manuals, maps and other CBMS supplies and materials are transmitted and/or received between the EN and the TS, the TS and the CAS, as well as between the CAS and the Head CAS. This form will also be used in returning incomplete or incorrectly filled-out questionnaires/forms to the EN and transmitting to the CAS all tablets/ICT equipment, unused CBMS forms and materials upon completion of the listing and enumeration. This form serves as a proof for both the transmitting and receiving personnel that the transfer of the number of items specified in the form has occurred.

Whenever forms, materials or supplies are transmitted, the receiving personnel should check the quantity transmitted and reflect the actual quantity received in the CBMS Form 9. In case of discrepancies in the quantity transmitted and received, the receiving personnel should promptly inform the transmitting personnel about the discrepancy so that necessary actions and/or corrections can be made.

Note: Prepare this form in duplicate copies – one copy each for the receiving and transmitting personnel.

CBMS Form 16 (Observation Record)

The supervisor should accomplish the CBMS Form 16 with observations on how the EN performed the interview as well as the procedures for geotagging and listing of households, VHU/VBLDG and other special cases. It is advised that the supervisor undertake the observation of enumerators in at least two (2) instances.

Instructions in Accomplishing the CBMS Form 16:

  1. Write the geographic name and code of the province, city/municipality, and barangay, and the EA number. Also write the name of the EN assigned in the area.
  2. Fill out the Observation Record following the instructions:
  • a. Copy from the CBMS Form 1, the BSN, HUSN and HSN of the household interviewed by the EN.

  • b. Answer the questions listed in the Observation Record. These questions are designed to evaluate if the EN followed the prescribed procedures for:

    • determining the buildings eligible for enumeration,
    • mapping and geotagging procedures, and
    • conducting an interview with households.

Answer also the questions on whether the EN reviewed the questionnaire/form before leaving the household and whether he/she has properly accomplished the CBMS Form 8a (Notice of Enumeration).

In each of these questions, write “1” for “Yes” if the EN followed the correct procedure. Otherwise, write “2” for “No”.

  • c. Write in the Remarks column explanations or comments for entries needing clarification.

  • d. Repeat steps a to c for each household interview or geotagging/ mapping activity that you observe.

  • e. Record the questions that were found difficult to administer, confusing to respondent. Indicate the specific item number or section, actions taken by the supervisor to correct and recommendations for the future conduct of CBMS.

  • f. Write the recommendation or action taken for any observation about the performance of EN needing appropriate action on the space provided at the bottom of the Observation Record.

  1. Under the “Prepared by:” portion, write your name and designation and affix your signature. Also indicate the date when you accomplished the form.

While in the EA, the supervisor is expected to accompany the EN and observe the conduct of interviews. He/she should note down his/her observations and comments on CBMS Form 16, while the interview is in progress. The observations and suggestions must be discussed with the EN right after the interview.

Major areas for improvement and recommendations for development based on the supervisor’s observations should be given right away to the EN, so that he/she can correct his/her mistakes while he/she is in his area of assignment. The weekly meetings with the EN should also be used to remind ENs on common errors in mapping/geotagging and conducting interviews and how to deal/correct these.

CBMS Form 17 (Spot-check/Reinterview Record)

Spot-checking and reinterviewing of households using CBMS Form 17 (Spot-check and Reinterview Record) is done to verify if the EN adheres strictly to the CBMS concepts and definitions and to the prescribed procedures in conducting data collection.

This form is used for any of the following:

  • Recording the observations during spot-checking, and
  • Recording the answers of the respondent during the reinterview.

A supervisor will conduct reinterviews of households to verify if the EN has conducted the interview following the prescribed procedures. This should be carried out especially in areas suspected of padding or splitting of households.

For supervisors who will use CAPI in administering the CBMS Form 17, they will need to choose five (5) households for reinterview and download their corresponding Form 2. The downloaded Form 2 will then be stored in the “For Matching” tabs. Under this tab, select the household to be re-interviewed and click on the “Spot-check” button. The CS Entry Application will then appear, and the supervisor can start performing the reinterview.

Instructions in Filling Out CBMS Form 17:

  1. Write the geographic name and code of the province, city/municipality, and barangay, and the EA number. Also write the name and code number of the EN assigned in the area.

    If the CAPI application is used, select the barangay; indicate the EA number; and type in the EN’s name and code number.

  2. Fill out the Spot-check/Reinterview Record by following the instructions below.

    I. SPOTCHECK RECORD

    a. Indicate the date (MM/DD/YYYY) of spot-checking/reinterview.

    b. For each building/housing unit spot-checked, answer the following questions through observation:

    • Is there a 2022 CBMS sticker posted on the building/housing unit?
    • Are the BSN, HUSN, and HSN correctly written on the sticker?
    • Are there needs for improvement? What are these?
    • Is there an “X” mark for callback on the sticker?

Note that the CBMS Form 8a (Notice of Enumeration) or CBMS sticker will be posted in building/housing unit and barangay halls signifying that these structures were covered in the CBMS. c. On the printed CBMS Form 17, put “X” mark in the box for either “Yes” or “No” in each of the questions. If the CAPI application is used, simply select either “Yes” or “No”.

II. REINTERVIEW RECORD a. Write/enter the date of the reinterview (MM/DD/YYYY).

b. Copy the BSN, HUSN, and HSN from the sticker of the household to be reinterviewed.

c. Ask the respondent of the household being reinterviewed about the questions indicated in the Reinterview Record. These questions pertain to the name of the respondent, the address and whether a CBMS EN visited the household. If the answer is “YES”, ask the date the EN visited the household and the name of the respondent interviewed during that visit.

d. Ask for the number of male and female members in the household and record the figures in the spaces provided. The CAPI application should be able to sum the number of males and females to derive the total number of household members.

e. Proceed to administer a short version of the CBMS Form 2 (Household Profile Questionnaire) in the Reinterview Record. Selected CBMS Form 2 data items covered in the CBMS Form 13 include data items on demographic, economic and housing characteristics of the households.

f. If the CBMS Form 17 is administered through CAPI, go to the “For Validation” tab upon completing the CBMS Form 17 then match the CBMS Form 17 with its corresponding CBMS Form 2 by cling on the “Match” button.

As TS/CAS, you can run a summary of the “Comparison with Accomplished CBMS Form 2” using the CBMS Mobile Application. An error list will then be generated showing the inconsistencies between the two forms, if there are any.

Relay to the EN for verification any inconsistencies found. If there is a need to edit the corresponding Form 2, return it to him/her by clicking on the “Return” button. If the entries in both forms are consistent, upload the accomplished Form 17 by clicking on the “Upload” button.

g. If the CBMS Form 17 is administered through PAPI, accomplish the portion marked “Comparison with Accomplished CBMS Form 2”. Write the date when the selected entries in CBMS Form 17 were compared with the selected entries in CBMS Form 2. Put an “X” mark in the box for either “Yes” or “No” if the name of the respondent of the CBMS Form 2 is the same as the one reinterviewed in this CBMS Form 13. Record the response as in CBMS Form 2 as well as the CBMS Form 17.

h. Write the result of matching the entries in CBMS Form 2 and CBMS Form 17. Write “1” for matched or “2” for unmatched.

  1. After accomplishing the CBMS Form 17 in paper format, write your name, and affix your signature on the line corresponding to “Prepared by”. Also write your designation and the date when you accomplished this form.

  2. Inconsistencies on the responses of the household in items marked with (*) in the above-listed indicators would mean that the EN should revisit the household to correct entries in the CBMS Form 2, especially if the respondent of the CBMS Form 17 is the same as in the CBMS Form 2. The supervisor should instruct the concerned EN to act on the matter at the soonest possible time. Questionnaires with inconsistencies when compared to CBMS Form 17 will have to be returned to EN (or TS, for CAS, HCAS and other Supervisors) for verification/editing. The EN/TS may go back to the household for verification, if necessary.
