Series Information
The Commodity Flow in the Philippines is a compilation system of the National Statistics Office which generates comprehensive statistics on regional commodity flow by mode of transport. The system includes detailed statistics on the quantity and value of coastwise, air and rail trade by commodity, port of origin and destination. A publication is produced annually.
On coastwise trade statistics, the NSO has been recording the movement of commodities by port of origin and port of destination based on the Bureau of Custom's coasting manifests (BC Form No. 78) since 1968. In March 1979, an integrated system for coastwise shipping statistics designed to more efficiently and effectively collect, process and disseminate reliable domestic shipping, trade and port statistics from the Bureau of Customs (BC), Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), and the Ministry of Public Works, Transportation and Communication (MPWTC)\ was put in place.
On air trade statistics, a data collection and processing system on commodities flowing through the air transport system was operationalized starting with the documents from the Philippine Airlines (PAL), the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), and other domestic airlines in September 1977.
On rail trade statistics, a system for the collection and processing of rail commodity flow statistics from the Philippine National Railways (PNR) documents was operationalized in 1978.

Abstract
The Commodity Flow in the Philippines is a compilation system of the National Statistics Office which generates comprehensive statistics on regional commodity flow by mode of transport. The system includes detailed statistics on the quantity and value of coastwise, air and rail trade by commodity, port of origin and destination. A publication is produced annually.
Data on the inflow and outflow of commodities in the different regions are used to construct inter regional and inter-industry relation tables. These serve as bases in the formulation and implementation of the various regional development programs like countryside development and port planning.
