PHL-PSA-QSPBI-2015_2016-V2
The Quarterly Survey of Philippine Business and Industry (QSPBI) is a nationwide quarterly survey regularly conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). It aims to provide quarterly data on revenue/sales, employment and compensation for each of the identified key industries (3/5-digit level) as classified under the 2009 Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC).
Specifically, the survey data will be used by the Sectoral Statistics Office (created under RA 10625 - Philippine Statistical Act of 2013) in the generation of the Quarterly National Accounts (QNA) and in construction of the Quarterly Economic Indicators (QEI).
The quarterly total retail trade (G47) revenue data from the QSPBI will also be utilized by the Department of Economic Statistics of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas for their monetary policy review.

Sampling
2015 and 2016 QSPBI Frame:
The QSPBI Frame consists of establishments, with ATE of 20 and over, as extracted from the latest available List of Establishments (LE) maintained by the Service and Industry Census Division (SICD) under Censuses and Technical Coordination Office of the PSA.
The updating of the LE involves (1) capturing and listing of characteristics of "new" establishments; (2) updating of the status and characteristics of "old" establishments; (3) de-listing "closed" establishments that should no longer form part of the LE and (4) identifying out-of-scope units on the database.
The 2015 ULE involved the complete enumeration of selected barangays where "no matched" establishments (establishments listed in other sources but not in the LE) from prioritized secondary sources are located. Also covered are barangays with new shopping malls, barangays having the highest number of establishments from the typhoon Yolanda affected cities/municipalities, barangays where there exist an establishment having an employment of 100 and over, and barangays with highest count of establishments for some provinces. Other "no matched" establishments, including those located in distant barangays, were covered using mail inquiry.
Other sources of updates are the survey feedbacks from the 2015 Quarterly Survey of Philippine Business and Industry (QSPBI) and 2015 Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI); list of branches and subsidiaries from the 2014 Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry and 2014 Survey of Tourism Establishments in the Philippines (STEP).

QSPBI Sample:
Comprising the QSPBI sample are the set of industry leaders for each key industries in the national level and the sets of industry leaders for each key industries in each of the 17 administrative regions for 2015 QSPBI and 18 administrative regions for 2016 QSPBI.
On the basis of similarity of activities, number of establishments and the concern on data needs, the industries are grouped by 3 or 5-digit PSIC (sectors/sub-sectors, referred to as the industry strata) usually following the industry groupings in the latest establishment census or survey (CPBI/ASPBI). From these groups of industries, national and regional key industries were selected. The key industries were determined based on its importance measured in terms of the industry's value added (VA) contribution to the sector's total value added at the national and regional level.
Industry leaders (sample establishments) for each key industry in the national level are known as the National Sample. While the sets of industry leaders for each regions comprises the Regional Sample. These sample establishments are selected based on the computed revenue concentration ratios which determine the establishments' contribution to the sector's/sub-sector's total revenue. Establishments listed in the List of Establishments (LE) and are classified in the certainty employment size strata are also included in the sample.
The QSPBI sample selection is based on non-probability cut-off sampling design. The QSPBI covers sets of industry leaders for each key industry in the national level and in each of the 17 administrative regions for 2015 QSPBI and 18 administrative regions for 2016 QSPBI.
Industry leaders for the key industries in the national level are known as the National Sample. While the set of industry leaders for each region comprises the Regional Sample. The selection of the national and regional samples are discussed in the following sections.
Number of sample establishments are selected based on the following criteria:
1. Generally, the key industries (3-digit PSIC) for each sector are determined based on their contribution to the sector's total value added. The value added estimates from the result of the latest Annual Survey or Census of Philippine Business and Industry (ASPBI/CPBI) are used as basis in the selection.
After ranking in descending order the value added (VA) concentration ratios of all 3-digit industry groups in each sector within a region and at the national level, all industries accounting for the upper 80% (except manufacturing) and 90% for manufacturing sector of the total value added of the sector are included and tagged as key industry.
All establishments accounting for 80 percent of the total revenue of the selected key industry are included as sample. However, to keep the total sample size manageable, a maximum of 15 sample establishments per key industry is set.
2. Also considering the importance of the sector and to have a good representation because of the relatively smaller number of establishments engaged in the activity, all the 3-digit industry groups under the Mining and Quarrying Sector (PSIC B) are taken as key industries regardless of their value added.
Along the same consideration, the following activities in Manufacturing Sector (PSIC C) are also included as key industries i.e C19200, C19900, C23940 and C30111.
3. The size of establishment which is determined by its total employment is an indicator of industry leadership. In order to capture the contribution of establishments with large employment, certainty employment sizes were set for each sector. All establishments with Total Employment (TE) of 200 and over for sector D, E, F, H, I, J, K, L, M, P, Q, R and S. For sector C, G and N, all establishments with TE of 500 and over.
4. Because of the continuing emergence and increasing importance to the country's economy, the following industry groups are also included as key industries: BPO activities, Holding Companies, and on industries engaged in ICT, R&D, creative industries and health and wellness services. These were maintained starting with the 2006 survey round and additional ICT-BPO activities.

Updating of the Key Industries:
The key industries (sector/sub-sector) are regularly evaluated to capture changes in the economic activities in the country. Ideally, this is to be done depending on the release of the results of the latest ASPBI or CPBI.
Composition of key industries will be changed only if:
- there emerged an industry with 10% or more value added concentration ratio
- the concentration ratio of a key industry decreases by at least 20%
- there emerged an establishment within the certainty employment size
Updating / Replacement of Sample Establishments
Updating of the characteristics of sample establishments including their status is done annually before the start of the year's survey round. Sample establishments were maintained in the sample for the succeeding year provided that they are good respondent, still in operation and within the employment coverage of ATE 20 or more. Establishments that closed operations, cannot be located (CBL), and became out-of-scope for the survey are dropped from the sample. Correspondingly, these will be replaced by establishments which are in operation and with the same industry and employment size code from the frame.
The QSPBI Frame consists of establishments, with ATE of 20 and over, as extracted from the latest available List of Establishments (LE) maintained by the Service and Industry Census Division (SICD) under Censuses and Technical Coordination Office of the PSA.
The updating of the LE involves (1) capturing and listing of characteristics of "new" establishments; (2) updating of the status and characteristics of "old" establishments; (3) de-listing "closed" establishments that should no longer form part of the LE and (4) identifying out-of-scope units on the database.

Data Appraisal
Data Evaluation:
Evaluation of the reports from establishments is done by comparing the growth rates of the variables in the current quarter report with the previous quarter report. That is, the ratio of the two succeeding (consecutive) reports for each of the data items should be within a specified range. These set ranges are based on the observed movements or trends from the historical reports of the establishments within the same industry groups. Reports that deviate from these ranges need to be verified with the establishment/respondent for correction or explanation.
Field Awards:
The Field Awards is an incentive system for the Philippine statistics Office (PSAO) regional and provincial offices to motivate the field offices to perform quality outputs in mandated activities and to conduct programs to support and promote its mission and vision. It also aims to increase PSA visibility not only among sub-national and local government agencies but also with the private sectors.
The Field Awards centers on efficiency, innovativeness, creativity and productivity of field offices. The Field Awards is dynamic and changes in criteria, weights and documentation requirements depend on the priorities of the office.
