It also seeks to establish and maintain database at the Municipal, provincial, regional and central level of DAR offices. And it shall also serves as a tool for knowing the whereabouts of the ARBs including their economic conditions so that the office can make policy decisions and program interventions.

He said that while this activity entails a lot of hard work, he challenged the group to make it a happy endeavor. "It is my duty to make sure that funds are available for the activity", Alino added.
The 15 enumerators that included DAR scholars were carefully selected by DAR. They shall be responsible in the conduct of the interview, while the MARO shall provide assistance in locating the ARBs identified based on the masterlist, and review and validate the correctness of the data gathered before the issuance of the certificate of acceptance. The DAR Provincial Office shall provide the enumeratos through the MAROs the updated masterlist of ARBs .
PARO Tan added that the profiling of the 7,019 ARBs should be completed within two months with a daily output of 117 profiles per day.
"This will be out first major activity after the CARP extension with Reforms (CARPER) law was signed into law last August 7, 2009 by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo at Plaridel Bulacan" said PARO Tan.
