Introduction

This Special Release presents the final results of the 2017 Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry (ASPBI) for all Arts, Entertainment and Recreation establishments (sector R).

The ASPBI is one of the designated statistical activities of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). Data collected from the survey provide information on the levels, structure, performance, and trends of economic activities of the formal sector in the entire country for the year 2017.

The survey was conducted nationwide in 2018 with the year 2017 as the reference period of data, except for employment which is as of 15  November 2017. 

The Establishment Data Management System (EDMS) was utilized in the decentralized processing of survey returns in the provinces as well as in the online accomplishment of questionnaires through the PSA website.

Data are presented by industry group or 3-digit level of the 2009 Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC) at the national level.

 

Legal Authority

The conduct of the 2017 ASPBI is authorized under Republic Act 10625 known as the Philippine Statistical Act of 2013, which mandates reorganizing and strengthening of the Philippine Statistical System (PSS), its agencies and instrumentalities.

 

Scope and Coverage

The 2017 ASPBI covered establishments engaged in 18 economic sectors classified under the 2009 PSIC, namely:

• Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing (A)
• Mining and Quarrying (B)
• Manufacturing (C)
• Electricity, Gas, Steam, and Air Conditioning Supply (D)
• Water Supply; Sewerage, Waste Management and Remediation Activities (E)
• Construction (F)
• Wholesale and Retail Trade; Repair of  Motor Vehicles and Motorcycles (G)
• Transportation and Storage (H)
• Accommodation and Food Service Activities (I)
• Information and Communication (J)
• Financial and Insurance Activities (K)
• Real Estate Activities (L)
• Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities (M)
• Administrative and Support Service Activities (N)
• Education (P)
• Human Health and Social Work Activities (Q)
• Arts, Entertainment and Recreation (R)
• Other Service Activities (S)

The survey was confined to the formal sector of the economy, which consists of the following:

• Corporations and partnership
• Cooperatives and foundations
• Single proprietorship with employment of 10 and over
• Single proprietorships with branches

Hence, the 2017 ASPBI covered only the following economic units:

• All establishments with total employment (TE) of 10 or more, and;
• All establishments with TE of less than 10, except those establishments with Legal Organization = 1 (single proprietorship) and Economic Organization = 1 (single establishment), that are engaged in economic activities classified according to the 2009 Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC).

 

Frame of Establishments

The frame for the 2017 ASPBI was extracted from the 2017 List of Establishments (LE). The estimated number of establishments in operation in the country in 2017 totaled to 917,582. About 228,112 establishments (24.9%) of the total establishments comprise the establishment frame or are within the scope and coverage of the 2017 ASPBI.

 

Unit of Enumeration

The unit of enumeration for the 2017 ASPBI is the establishment. An establishment is defined as an economic unit under a single ownership or control which engages in one or predominantly one kind of activity at a single fixed location.

 

Taxonomy of Establishments

An establishment is categorized by its economic organization, legal organization, industrial classification, employment size, and geographic location.

Economic Organization refers to the organizational structure or role of the establishment in the organization.  An establishment may be single establishment,   branch, establishment and main office with branches elsewhere, main office only, and ancillary unit other than main office.

Legal Organization refers to the legal form of the economic entity which owns the establishment. An establishment may be single proprietorship, partnership, government corporation, stock corporation, non-stock corporation, and cooperative.

Industrial classification of an economic unit was determined by the activity from which it derives its major income or revenue.  The 2009 PSIC which was approved for adoption by government agencies and instrumentalities through NSCB Resolution No. 2 Series 2010 was utilized to classify economic units according to their economic activities.

Size of an establishment is determined by its TE as of a specific date. TE refers to the total number of persons who work in or for the establishment.

This includes paid employees, working owners, unpaid workers and all employees who work full-time or part-time including seasonal workers. Included also are persons on short term leave such as those on sick, vacation or annual leaves and on strike.

Geographic Classification refers to the grouping of establishments by geographic area using the Philippine Standard Geographic Code (PSGC) classification. The PSGC contains the latest updates on the official number of regions, provinces, cities, municipalities, and barangays in the Philippines. The PSGC as of 31 December 2017 was used for the 2017 ASPBI.

 

Methodology

Sampling Design

The 2017 ASPBI uses a stratified systematic sampling with 5-digit PSIC serving as industry strata and employment size as the second stratification variable. The selection of sample establishments is done independently by stratum using systematic sampling.

 

For Establishments with TE of Less Than 20.

a.  Non-Certainty Stratum

The estimate of the total of a characteristic  for the non-certainty employment stratum TE less than 20 in the sth industry domain is

where:

s    = denotes the non-certainty employment strata in TE of less than 20

Xsj = value of the jth establishment in non-certainty employment stratum in TE of less than 20 in Sth industry domain

j     = 1, 2, 3...ns establishments

Wsj = weight of the jth establishment in the non-certainty employment stratum in TE of less than 20 in sth industry domain

Ns = total number of establishments in the non-certainty employment stratum in TE of less than 20 in sth industry domain

ns = number of sample establishments in the non-certainty employment stratum in TE of less than 20 in sth domain

 b.  Certainty Stratum

The total of a characteristic (Xc ) for the certainty employment stratum in the Cth industry domain was

where:

c    = denotes the certainty employment strata in TE of less than 20 in the cth industry

Xcj = value of the jth establishment in the certainty employment strata in TE of less than 20 in the cth industry domain

j     = 1, 2, 3...mc establishments

m= number of establishments in the certainty employment strata in TE of less than 20 in the cth industry domain

c.  Total Estimate for TE of Less Than 20

For all sections, except B and C, national level estimates of the total of a characteristic for the industry domain was obtain by aggregating the estimates for all employment strata  (non-certainty and certainty) in the same industry domain,

 

where d denotes the industry domain.

 

Estimation Procedure for Establishments with TE of 20 and Over

a.  Non-Certainty Stratum (strata of TE 20 to 49 and TE 50 to 99)

Sections A, C, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R and S.

The estimate of the total of a characteristic for the non-certainty employment strata in an industry domain in each region,

where:

s     = denotes the non-certainty employment strata in TE of 20 and over

p     = 1, 2,...17 regions (geographic domains)

Xspj = value of the jth establishment in the non-certainty employment strata in TE of 20 and over for an industry domain in each region

j       = 1, 2, 3...nsp establishments

Wspj = weight of the jth establishment in the non-certainty employment strata in TE of 20 and over for an industry domain in each region

Nsp  = total number of establishments in the non-certainty employment strata in TE of 20 and over for an industry domain in each region

nsp  = number of sample establishments in the non-certainty employment strata in TE of 20 and over for an for an industry domain in each region

b.  Certainty Stratum (Establishments under the following: Section B and D, ICT core industries except J61902, Business Process Management (BPM) industries, Government Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) and with TE 100 and over)

The estimate of the total of a characteristics for the certainty employment stratum in an industry domain in each region

where:

c     = denotes the certainty employment strata in TE of 20 and over

p     = 1, 2,...18 regions (geographic domains)

Xcpj = value of the jth establishment in the certainty employment strata in TE of 20 and over for an industry domain within each region

j      = 1, 2, 3...mcp establishments

mcp  = number of establishments in the certainty employment strata in TE of 20 and over in an industry domain within each region

c.  Total Estimate for TE of 20 and Over

The estimate of the total of a characteristic  for the industry domain in each region (geopraphic domain) was obtained by aggregating the estimates for all employment strata  (non-certainty and certainty) in the same industry domain,

where dp denotes the industry domains in each region

National level estimate of the characteristic by industry domain are obtained by aggregating separately the estimates for  the particular industry domain from all the regions.

Weight Adjusment Factor for Non-Response

To account for non-response in the non-certainty strata, the adjusment factors (n/n') was multipled with the sampling weight (W) of each of the sampling unit. The sampling weight, defined as N/n, was recomputed as

Thus, the adjusted weight (W'spj) for the non-certainty employment stratum for the industry domain with TE 20-99 was

where:

Nsp = total number of establishments in the non-certainty employment stratum with TE 20-99 for the industry domain within each geographic domain (region)

n'sp = number of responding establishments in the non-certainty employment stratum with TE of 20-99 for the industry domain within each geographic domain (region)

 

Response Rate

Response rate for all arts, entertainment and recreation establishments was 87.9 percent (340 out of 387 establishments). This included receipts of "good" questionnaires, partially accomplished questionnaires, reports of closed, moved out or out of scope establishments. 

Of the total responses, nine establishments responded online.
