It was signed on 20 September 1990 by then President Corazon C. Aquino. The NSM is observed nationwide where all regions and provinces conduct their respective activities which are geared at promoting, enhancing and instilling nationwide awareness and appreciation of the importance and value of statistics to the different sectors of society, and to elicit the cooperation and support of the general public in upgrading the quality and standard of statistics in the country.
