28 February 2024—QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES. The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is establishing a Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI) and Producer Price Survey (PPS) Data Processing System (MPDPS) geared towards digital transformation. With this, the National Capital Region Provincial Statistical Office II (NCR PSO II), together with the Industry Statistics Division (ISD), conducted a second-level training on the 8th floor EDSA Grand Residences, 75 Corregidor Street corner EDSA, Quezon City.

Ms.  Bianca  Niña  Yabut,  Senior  Statistical  Specialist,  and Ms. Myra C. Yepes, Statistical Specialist II, of ISD served as the trainers on the three-day training.

On the first two days of the training, Ms. Yabut and Ms. Yepes discussed information on the history, objectives, concepts and definition of terms, sampling design and index computation, and editing instructions, among others. Ms. Yabut taught the NCR PSO II staff different methodologies for generation of indices for both MISSI and PPS. Value of Production Index (VaPI), Value of Net Sales Index (VaNSI), Volume of Production Index (VoPI), Volume of Net Sales Index (VoNSI), Average Capacity Utilization Rate (AveCU) and Producer Price Index (PPI) are the indices to be generated in MISSI and PPS.

The MPDPS is used to automate the machine processing and to help efficiently monitor the results of the surveys.

A workshop on MPDPS was done on the last day of the training. The staff were divided into three groups to familiarize everyone with how the system works. Mr. Jonathan Tamayo, Focal Person of MISSI/PPS of PSA NCR PSO II, and Ms. Gerlie Gagarin, Assistant Focal Person, assisted the groups in doing the hands-on exercise.

The activity includes accessing the MPDPS, logging of distribution and collection, encoding of data gathered, and validating of data. The use of Computer-Aided Web Interview (CAWI) of MISSI/PPS was also demonstrated by Mr. Tamayo.

The MPDPS is expected to be accessible and operational in April 2024.
