Interviewer instructions
C1.Cash Receipts, Gifts, Support, Relief and Other Forms of Assistance from Abroad

This section will cover specifically all cash receipts from all sources outside the Philippine territory. They may come from family members, non-relatives, foreign government and charitable institutions.

Entries should be in pesos.

Sources of cash receipts from abroad are divided into five items:

1.Report in Item 1, cash received out of salaries/wages and other sources of income of a family member who is a contract worker abroad.

2.Include in Item 2, those cash receipts sent by a family member of the household with a status of residency abroad other than that of a contract worker (immigrant, tourist, and those with student visa).

The term "family member" in Items 1 and 2 above, refers to an individual who would have been included as member of the sample household had he been in the Philippines at the time of the survey. Hence, anything sent to the sample household by a son who works abroad but has a separate household will be reported in Item 4, neither in Item 1 nor Item 2.

A contract worker is a person hired abroad for a definite period, like those who are in Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries. Non-contract workers are those who are abroad with no definite date of return such as immigrants.

3.Pensions, retirements and other benefits received from the U.S. government and other foreign government and enterprises will be reported in Item 3. An example is the pension received by World War II veterans from the U.S. government.

4.Cash gifts, support, etc., from relatives, except those under 1 and 2 above, from charitable groups and foreign government will be reported in this item.

5.Income from abroad accruing from dividends from investment, net income from business, rental from properties and other property income.
