The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) will conduct a national migration survey from Aug. 4 to Sept. 5, 2025 after formally granting survey clearance for its administration.
The survey aims to estimate the country’s international and inter-regional migration flows, identify major migration streams, and examine different types of migration, including the characteristics of internal and international migrants. It will also help determine the levels, patterns, trends, and processes of internal and international migrations.
It will gather key data on lifetime migration, period migration, internal migration, and international migration levels and rates in the Philippines.
The government budgeted P85 million for the nationwide survey over the next two months, with results expected to be released between June 5 and July 3 2026.
The PSA “strongly encourages all sampled individuals to actively participate in the survey by providing accurate and truthful information for data-driven migration management and policy formulation,” the agency said in a statement.
