SWS Vision To set standards of excellence in the practice of Statistics for Advocacy within a democratic context: • Using a socially-oriented agenda, • Making practical technical innovations, • Communicating findings to the general public, • Teaching the technology to other institutions.
SWS Mission To regularly do scientific social surveys for the sake of • Education: So eyes may see social conditions • Conscientization: So hearts may feel social problems • Analysis: So minds may understand their solutions
The first 14 years of Social Weather Stations (SWS) were spent in the Philippine Social Science Center (PSSC) along Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City.
CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE SOCIAL CONTEXT:
In ten years, the SWS office grew from 30 to 190 square meters at PSSC, for 19 regular staff members.

Discipline Teamwork Persistence Ethics
In 1998, SWS decided to search for a new office. An SWS Building Committee, headed by Ana Bince, was formed to identify and recommend potential sites for the office.
INTELLECTUAL INDEPENDENCE: • Self-sufficient • Nonsectarian • Nonpartisan
After several months, a residential property in Sikatuna Village, Quezon City was found with an area of 900 square meters. On August 24, 1999, SWS moved to its new address:
Awit ng SWS Samu’t saring pananaw aming binibigyang-linaw Isyung makabuluhan una sa aming listahan Hustisya’t edukasyon, kalikasan at eleksyon, maging ang paksa sa pulitika’t ekonomiya Lahat tinatala, bawat opinyon ng madla Nang sa gayon ay malaman ang hinaing ng mamamayan Yan ang aming hangarin, demokrasya’y pagtibayin. Instrumento ng masa sa kanilang karaingan SWS ay tinatag, layon nitong magampanan Nang ang baya’y magising sa katotohanan SWS ay tinatag, layon nitong magampanan Nang ang baya’y magising sa katotohanan Lyrics: Vladymir Joseph Licudine Carijane Dayag-Laylo Music: Jerry Dadap
Panata ng SWS Saan mang isla ay aming tatahakin Alin mang bundok ay aming aakyatin Ano mang isyu aming sisiyasatin Sino mang tao: Kristyano, Muslim, o katutubo man ay aming iinterbyuhin Upang damdamin ng bayan ay aming maiparating Ito ang aming panata Na gamitin ang statistika para sa kapakanan ng bansa Na pukawin ang kamalayan ng bawat isa sa sitwayson ng kanyang kapwa Na ang bawat opinyon na aming maitatala ay maging instrumento upang masolusyunan ang hinaing ng madla At maging institusyon sa pagpapatibay ng demokrasya sa ating bansa
