Interviewer instructions
This column asks specifically and adequately the nature of the business or
industry of the place where the work was performed during the past quarter, like cocktail lounge, growing of palay (lowland, irrigated) catching fish, commercial bank, retail sale of food, private household, etc.
Politely ask the respondent to give you a description of the nature of work or the kind of business/es or industry/ies and record the response in Column 44.
An answer such as farm or store or retail store or wholesale store or mine or factory plant or shop or school or government or transportation company, etc. is too general and do not give adequate description of the business or industry.
If the answer is vague or is not specific, clarify the answer from the respondent by asking such questions as:
What kind of retail store is this?
Does the shoe factory manufacture leather shoes, rubber shoes or what?
Does the firm sell or repair radios?
Did she wash clothes at a laundry shop or in own home?
Do not be satisfied with answers like firm names such as ASEC Company Inc.,
Cover and Pages, etc., since they do not necessarily describe the business or
activity. Probe and try to elicit from the respondent information about the kind of product (if a manufacturing firm) or the kind of service that the company is engaged in.
Moreover, if work is pursued in a big company that is engaged in several types of activities, report the nature of the particular activity of that company in which the person is working.
If work is for a government office or institution, the name of the office, bureau, public school, etc. may be accepted. If work is for the executive branch of a local government, indicate whether provincial, city or municipal government.
Column 44 is for the 4-digit code of the kind of business or industry. The new
Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (1994 PSIC) will be used in coding the industry.
