Columns P17 to P18 for All Persons 5 to 24 Years Old
Columns P17 to P18 shall be accomplished only for household members 5 to 24 years old. Thus, if a household member is less than 5 years or more than 24 years old, leave these columns blank.

P18-Place of School
The purpose of this question is to determine the number of students who commute to places outside of the city/municipality where they are residing for purposes of studying. Such data are vital in transport planning, that is, in the analysis of trip patterns, forecasting public transportation patronage, and projecting fuel usage. Data that will be derived from this question will also be used as input in determining daytime population.
For every person 5 to 24 years old whose answer in P17 is Yes, ask the respondent the question in P18:"In what city/municipality did [the respondent] attend school?"

For a household member whose place of school is the same as his/her present residence, that is, the school is located within the city/municipality where he/she resides, enter "0000" in the code boxes and write "SAME" on the spaces provided for the names of the city/municipality and province. However, if the place of school is in another city/municipality, specify on the spaces provided for the names of the city/municipality and province where he/she attends school. These will be coded during manual processing at the Provincial Office (PO). For those whose place of school is in a foreign country, write the country on the space provided and enter "8887" in the code boxes.

Always bear in mind that the name of the city/municipality alone is not sufficient, neither is the name of the province alone. The entry in this column must always be complete to include both the city/municipality and province.
Complete names of provinces should also be written if areas like Agusan, Camarines, Cotabato, Davao, Ilocos, Lanao, Leyte, Misamis, Mindoro, Negros, Samar, Surigao, and Zamboanga are provided. For example, you have to specify Agusan del Norte or Agusan del Sur for Agusan, and so on. If the answer provided is Bicol, ask the respondent in what particular province in Bicol did the household member attend school. Refer to Section 6.3 of Chapter 6 (pages 71 to 72).
If the answer provided for the city/municipality is Manila, ask what particular district in Manila (Tondo, Sampaloc, Paco, and others) did the household member attend school. Refer to Section 6.3 of Chapter 6 (page 72).
