Calamba City, Laguna — Four distinguished establishments in CALABARZON were honored by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) for their valuable contributions to the agency’s key economic surveys.
The recognition was conferred during the 2024 Report on the Economic Performance of CALABARZON News Conference, held on 22 April 2025 at Hotel Marciano in Real, Calamba City, Laguna.
Acknowledged for their consistent support in delivering timely and accurate data, the awardees were recognized for their active participation in the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI) and the Producer Price Survey (PPS). The honored establishments include:
B/E Aerospace BV – Philippine Branch
Pilipinas Kyohritsu Inc.
Honda Philippines Inc.
Stepan Philippines Quartiles Inc.
Each awardee received a plaque of recognition and a token of appreciation, highlighting their critical role in advancing the country’s economic data collection initiatives. The awards were formally presented by PSA Region IV-A Regional Director Charito C. Armonia and Chief Statistical Specialist Raul Maximo B. Tolentino of the Provincial Statistical Office – Batangas.
The MISSI collects monthly data on key indicators such as employment, compensation, value of production, revenue/sales, inventories, and capacity utilization from manufacturing firms.
It serves as a vital tool for monitoring the performance of growth-oriented industries through indices and growth rate analysis.
Meanwhile, the PPS gathers monthly data on producer prices of manufactured goods, which feeds into the compilation of the Producer Price Index (PPI) for the manufacturing sector.
Both surveys are instrumental in tracking economic trends and contributing to the estimation of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
