EXPLANATORY TEXT Introduction The 2000 Census of Philippine Business and Industry (2000 CPBI) is a comprehensive collection and compilation of statistical information pertaining to business operations of establishments designed to bring forward adequate statistics on the structure and level of economic activity in the whole country. The collected data from the industrial and non-industrial sectors refer to calendar year 1999. These constitute reliable bases upon which to formulate policies and economic development plans by the government and private concerns.
Definition of Terms Economic activity or business is the activity of the establishment as classified under the 1994 Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC). The main activity of the establishment is the establishment’s principal source of income. If the establishment is engaged in several activities, its main activity is that which earns the biggest income or revenue. Employment refers to the average number of persons who worked in or for the establishments during the year; that is, the sum of all persons who worked all months of the year and divided by 12, regardless of the number of months the establishment was in operation during the year. Total employment includes paid employees and unpaid workers. Paid employees are all persons working in the establishment receiving pay as well as those working away from the establishment when paid by and under the control of the establishment. Included are persons working as full-time or part-time and those employees on sick leave, paid vacation or holiday. Excluded are consultants, home workers and workers receiving commission only. Unpaid workers include working owners who do not receive regular pay, apprentices and learners without regular pay, and persons working without regular pay for at least one third of the working time normal to the establishment. Total compensation includes salaries and wages and employer’s contribution to SSS/GSIS, and the like. Salaries and wages are payments whether in cash or in kind, prior to deductions for employees' contribution to SSS/GSIS, withholding tax, and the like, to all employees. Included are total basic pay, overtime pay, and benefits. Employer’s contribution to SSS/GSIS, and the like refers to payments made by the employer on behalf of the employees. Examples are employer’s contributions to SSS/GSIS, Employees Compensation Commission (ECC), MEDICARE, PAG-IBIG, and others. Revenue/Sales include cash received and receivable for goods sold and services rendered. For manufacturing, total receipts include value of products sold, value of industrial services done for others, value of goods for resale, interest/dividend income and other revenue. Valuation is at producer’s prices (ex-establishment), net of discounts and allowances, including duties and taxes but excluding subsidies. Cost refers to all expenses excluding compensation incurred during the year whether paid or payable. Valuation should be at market price including taxes and other charges, net of discounts, rebates, returns and allowances. Goods and services received by the establishment from other establishment of the same enterprise are valued as though purchased. Subsidies are all special grants in the forms of financial assistance or tax exemption or tax privilege given by the government to aid and develop an industry or production and to protect it against competition. Gross additions to fixed assets as derived indicator, is equal to capital expenditures less sale of fixed assets, including land. Fixed assets are physical assets expected to have productive life of more than one year and intended for use and/or being used by the establishment. Included are land, buildings, fixtures, machinery, tool, furniture, office equipment, vehicles, and the like. Capital expenditures for fixed assets include cost of acquisition of new and used fixed assets; fixed assets produced by the establishment for its own use; major alterations, additions and improvements to fixed assets, whether done by others or done on own account. Change in total inventories as a derived indicator, is computed as the value of ending inventory less the value of beginning inventory. Inventories refer to stocks of goods owned by or under the control of the establishment as of a fixed date, regardless of where the stocks are located. Valuation should be at current replacement cost based on market prices at indicated dates. Replacement cost is the cost of an item in terms of its present price rather than its original cost.
