Columns P13, P14 and P16 for All 5 Years Old and Over
Columns P13, P14 and P16 are to be accomplished only for household members five years old and over. Thus, if a household member is less than five years old leave columns P13, P14 and P16 blank.

P14-Residence 5 Years Ago
The question on residence 5 years ago pertains to the place where a person was residing 5 years ago. Data on these are vital for projects concerning housing and industrial development. Estimates on migration are needed in the preparation of population projections necessary for planning and policy formulation. Distribution of internal migration at certain geographic level will be better judged as to its implications to social changes given a detailed analysis of the volume and trend of internal migration.
Ask the respondent, "In what city/municipality did reside on May 1, 2005?" Enter code "0000" in P14 if the person's residence 5 years ago is the same as his/her present residence. Write "SAME" for province and city/municipality on the spaces provided.
However, if his/her residence 5 years ago was in another city/municipality, write the name of the province and city/municipality on the spaces provided.
For those whose residence 5 years ago is in a foreign country, enter code "8887" in the code boxes.
In case the respondent knows only the province but not the city/ municipality, enter the correct code of the province in the first two code boxes and code "99" in the last two boxes. If the respondent does not know even the province, ask the person himself/herself about his/her residence 5 years ago. In case the person/member cannot recall both the city/municipality and province name where he/she lived five years ago, exert all efforts to obtain even the name of the province only. If after exhaustive probing the member still cannot give the name of the province, enter code "9999" for unknown in the code boxes.
Complete names of provinces should be asked if areas like Agusan, Camarines, Cotabato, Davao, Ilocos, Lanao, Leyte, Misamis, Mindoro, Negros, Samar, Surigao, and Zamboanga are provided. Refer to Section 6.3 of Chapter 6 (pages 71 to 72) for the complete list of these provinces. If the answer provided is Bicol, ask the respondent the particular province in Bicol the household member lived 5 years ago.
If the answer provided is Manila, ask what particular district in Manila (Tondo, Sampaloc, Paco, and others) did the household member live 5 years ago.
Refer to page 72 for the districts of NCR.
