c. Proportionality

Proportionality

Under RA 11315, the community-based monitoring system generates data for identifying beneficiaries, assessing poverty and needs, designing interventions, and monitoring their impact. 1 Its data collection must respect privacy and uphold the data protection principles of legitimate purpose, transparency, and proportionality. 1

These sources do not state a general proportionality test for constitutional or public international law. The proportionality principle expressly supplied here concerns data collection under RA 11315. 1
