Unit of analysis
The unit of analysis or listing unit for the 2004 ULE is basically the establishment. An establishment is defined as an economic unit, which engages, under a single ownership or control, i.e. under a single entity; in one or predominantly one kind of economic activity at a single fixed physical location. Specifically, the set of unit of analysis for 2004 ULE consists of establishments classified as single establishment, branch, establishment and main office with branch/es elsewhere, main office only, and ancillary unit are the units part of the 2004 ULE.
For some industries, the kind-of-activity unit is used. "Kind-of-activity unit" is defined as the unit that is engaged in the production of the most homogeneous group pf goods and services, usually at one location, but sometimes over a wider area, for which separate records are available that can provide data concerning the production of these goods and services and the materials, labor and physical resources used in this production. This concept is applied to construction; transport, storage and communications; life and non-life insurance companies, insurance agents and brokers, pre-need plan activities, and insurance activities, n.e.c.; and security agencies. Unit of kind-of-activity units classified as single establishment, establishment and main office with branch/es elsewhere, and main office complete the set of unit of analysis for 2004 ULE.
Establishments engaged or classified under the following activities are excluded in the 2004 ULE:
Tricycles and pedicabs operation, jeepneys operation, and calesas operation;
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (central bank);
Renting, leasing and operating of self-owned/leased apartment buildings, non-residential buildings and dwellings;
Public education services;
Public medical, dental and other health services;
Activities of membership organizations;
Public administration and defense (except producers of government services which charges fees designed to meet the costs of furnishing these services, including an operating surplus);
Compulsory social Security;
Private households with employed persons; and
Extra-territorial Organization and Bodies.

Coverage
Geographic coverage
A business register should be reflective of the real world. Given the limited resources, coverage of areas were prioritized to maximize its use. Strategy in the selection of areas are discussed below and the corresponding budget allocation is found in the external resource (refer to "2004 ULE Budget" of this study.
The 2004 ULE covers all operating establishments within the 2004 ULE scope and coverage in the areas enumerated below. These areas include growth areas such as economic zones, particularly Information Technology Parks, and areas where economic activities are concentrated.
1. Urban barangays in:
a. Provincial capitals (79 provincial capitals with 1,741 urban barangays. Of the total provincial capitals, 39 are cities with 1344 barangays, and 11 are first class municipalities with 243 barangays)
b. Cities (77 cities, excluding cities which are also provincial capitals, with 2,158 urban barangays)
c. First class municipalities (130 first class municipalities with 2,139 barangays)
d. Decentralized Registry of Establishments System (DRES) pilot areas (3 municipalities with 14 barangays)
The DRES is a computer system designed and developed to strengthen the business permit and licensing system of the LGUs, and to provide the NSO with a cost-efficient method of updating the LE. This is a part of the PAGF (Philippines-Australia Governance Facility)-assisted project “Improvement of the Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry” which was undertaken during the period June 2001 - April 2002. The pilot LGUs are Arayat, Candaba and Magalang, all in Pampanga.
In these urban barangays, the 2004 ULE expects to capture 65 percent of the total number of establishments in the country, about 81 percent of the total number of establishments with Average Total Employment (ATE) of 10 or more, and around 84 percent of the total number of establishments with ATE of 20 or more.
2. Rural barangays with relatively high number of establishments compared to urban barangays or no urban barangays in provincial capitals, and first class municipalities. These barangays are:
a. Tibal-og in Sto. Tomas, Davao del Norte
b. Mercado in Boac, Marinduque
c. Barangays I, II, III and IV in Romblon, Romblon (No urban barangay)
3. Rural barangays with export processing zones, regardless of the classification of the municipality. These are:
a. Bgy Calibutbut, Bacolor, Pampanga
b. Bgy Cawag , Subic, Zambales
c. Bgy Buanoy, Balamban, Cebu
4. Urban barangays in other municipalities with relatively high concentration of establishments compared to other municipalities in the province. These are:
a. Barangays Balabag, Caticlan, Manoc-Manoc, Poblacion in Malay, Aklan
b. Barangays Sta. Clara, Malakas, Malinis, Matibay, Maganda in Lamitan, Basilan
c. Barangays 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in San Francisco, Agusan del Sur
d. Barangays Malamuti, Osias, Poblacion in Kabacan, North Cotabato
The 2000 Census of Population and Housing classification of barangays into rural and urban was adopted. Considered urban are:
1. Poblaciones or central districts of municipalities and cities which have a population density of at least 500 persons per square kilometer;
2. Poblaciones or central districts (not included in 1 and not in cities and municipalities having a population density of at least 1,000 persons per square kilometer), regardless of population size which have the following:
a. Street pattern, i.e., network of streets in either parallel or right angle orientation;
b. At least six establishments (commercial, manufacturing, recreational and/or personal services), and
c. At least three of the following:
1) A town hall, church or chapel with religious services at least once a month;
2) A public plaza, park or cemetery;
3) A market place or building where trading activities are carried on at least once a week;
4) A public building like school, hospital, puericulture or health center and library.
3. Barangays having at least 1,000 inhabitants which meet the conditions set forth in 2 above, and where the occupation of the inhabitants is predominantly non-fishing.
The classification of municipalities was based on Department Order 32-01, with effectivity date November 20, 2001, issued by the Bureau of Local Government Finance, Department of Finance.
The areas identified above were referred to as 2004 ULE areas.

Enumerators will be provided with a hard copy of ULE Form 2. Soft copy of the form will be given to provincial offices. Soft copy of all the establishments listed in ULE Form 2, and all the other establishments in the 2003 LE, in database format, shall be provided to both Regional and Provincial Offices.
A sample of the ULE Form 2 is shown in Appendix 8 of the 2004 ULE FOPM..
Detailed instructions with regards to the filling-up of listing forms are given in Chapter 6 of the 2004 ULE FOPM..

The ULE Form 3 is a self-administered form to be used in cases where personal interview is not possible. Accomplished ULE Form 3 is to be transcribed in either ULE Form 1A and 1B or ULE Form 2. Detailed instructions with regards to the transcription of this form to ULE Form 1A and 1B or ULE Form 2 are given in Chapter 6 of the 2004 ULE FOPM..
A pretest of the updating forms and field operations procedure, including the use of GPS, was conducted in Libis; Cyber Park Eastwood, Bagumbayan; West Avenue; SM Centerpoint; portion of Barangay Doña Imelda.
