The Philippine Statistics Authority – Regional Statistical Services Office VIII (PSA – RSSO 8) conducts the 2026 Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI) and 2026 Producer Price Survey (PPS) for Manufacturing. The MISSI and PPS are nationwide surveys that cover manufacturing establishments confined to the formal section of the economy.
The 2026 MISSI aims to provide planners and policymakers in both the government and private sectors with timely flash indicators on the performance of growth-oriented industries in the manufacturing sector. Data are used as inputs to monitor the business cycle of key manufacturing sectors of the economy.
The survey will gather key data on employment, compensation, value of production, sales from manufacturing activity, other income, inventories of finished products, work-in-progress and raw materials, and capacity utilization rate.
The 2026 PPS aims to collect producer price data of manufactured commodities for the generation of the Producer Price Index (PPI). The PPI measures yearly and monthly changes in the producer prices of key commodities in the manufacturing sector. The survey will gather key data on producer price data of commodities by specification or brand name.
Data collection for PPS is every 9th to 22nd day of each month after the reference month while for MISSI it is on 9th to 25th day after the reference month. In Eastern Visayas, sample establishments are taken from the provinces of Leyte, Samar and Northern Samar. The respondents can accomplish the MISSI and PPS for Manufacturing questionnaires through any of the following modes: electronic copy of the questionnaires to be emailed to the establishment’s official email address; printed questionnaires distributed/collected by SRs; MISSI/PPS Online Questionnaires to be accessed through URL: https://missipps.psa.gov.ph ; and phone interview.
The 2026 MISSI and 2026 PPS were reviewed and cleared for conduct by the Statistical Survey Review and Clearance System (SSRCS), a mechanism prescribed by RA 10625 or the Philippine Statistical Act of 2013 to ensure sound design for data collection; minimize the burden placed upon respondents; effect economy in statistical data collection; eliminate unnecessary duplication of statistical data collection efforts; and, achieve better coordination of government statistical activities.
In line with this, PSA enjoins all sample establishments to support the survey by answering truthfully to the questionnaires provided to them by PSA personnel. The Office reassures the public that all personnel involved are bound by the stipulations in Section 26 of RA 10625 and Section 8 of RA 10173.
All data obtained herein shall be held strictly confidential, and will not be used for taxation, investigation or law enforcement purposes. Survey results will be released in the form of summaries or statistical tables.(PR)
