Columns P1 to P12 for All persons
Columns P1 to P12 are to be accomplished for all household members regardless of age.

Determine the sex of each household member by asking the question, "Is [the respondent] male or female?" The sex of each household member can be determined by his/her name or relationship to the head, but in some cases, there is a need to ask the respondent whether the person is a male or female. Some names such as Charlie, Florence, Alex, Chito, Cielito, Christy, Loreto, Trinidad, Resurreccion, Rosario, Joey, Regine, and others, have been commonly used to refer to either a male or female person.
Sex-disaggregated data is of prime importance in demographic and socio-economic studies. Separate data for males and females may be crucial in the analysis of many types of data. Demographers and statisticians likewise consider sex a key variable in evaluating the completeness and accuracy of census counts.
Mark the appropriate box with "X" opposite "1" for Male or "2" for Female.
