On 29 January 2018, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) granted clearance to the conduct of the 2018 Updating of the List of Establishments (ULE) - a preparatory activity to update the frame for the conduct of 2019 Census of Philippine Business and Industry (CPBI).
The objective of the 2018 ULE is to provide a register of businesses containing basic information which will be used to obtain an updated and reliable sampling frame for the census and survey of establishments and enterprises, formulation of policies and implementation of programs. It also involves the comprehensive updating of the status and basic characteristics of establishments listed in the Statistical Business Register (SBR). The listing will be conducted from 16 April to 15 July 2018 in about 1.2 million establishments nationwide.
A total budget of Php 249.6 million will be utilized for personal services, maintenance and other operating expenses (MOOE) such as travelling expenses, training, supplies and printing of materials.
An establishment can be covered in the ULE if it is under a single ownership or control, i.e. under single legal entity; engaged in one or predominantly one kind of economic activity at a single fixed location.
Among the data items to be collected in the listing are the following:
- Business Name
- Registered Name
- Business Address

- Nationality of Owner/Major Stockholder/Contributor
- Economic Activity or Business

The ULE was reviewed and cleared for conduct under the Statistical Survey Review and Clearance System (SSRCS), a mechanism being implemented by the PSA by virtue of Rule 28 of Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act (RA) No. 10625 to:
- ensure sound design for data collection;
- minimize the burden placed upon respondents;
