Interviewer instructions
Item1. Milk - Covers the average/normal weekly consumption of milk, whether pure or processed milk, by the family. If purchases involve big cans especially powdered milk, inquire how long one can normally last and try to estimate the value consumed for one week. For example, one big can of powdered milk will last for one month. If a can of NIDO (900 grams.) milk costs P220.00, multiply this amount by 6 then divide by 26 to get the one-week consumption.
Condensed - Sweetened milk
Evaporated - includes homogenized, filled (e.g. coconut filled) or recombined type.
Powdered - includes whole milk and powdered milk for babies (Infant Formula & other follow-up milk). Brands like Sustagen, (vanilla or chocolate flavored) and Twin (half soya and half milk) are included here.
Milk used in preparing “polvoron” for sale should not be included in this Item but in the corresponding activity in Part IV. However, if it is for home consumption, it should be reported here.
Fresh - This includes average/normal weekly consumption of the family on fresh milk whether bought in the market in tetra packs, or from dairy farm in bottles or polyethylene bags or processed at home.
Item 2. Ice Cream - Enter here the value of the family's average weekly consumption of ice cream, whether bought from the market, or from the “sorbetero”.
Do not include homemade ice cream here. Report the ingredients used in their corresponding expenditure group, e.g., milk in Item 1 and sugar in A1.9, Item 1, etc.
Moreover, ice cream bought for special occasion where guests were invited should likewise not be reported here but in Section H1 (Special Family Occasions).
Note that eating ice cream may not be regularly done. Hence, in estimating the consumption per week, inquire the total consumption per month or per semester as the case may be. Then translate the consumption to per day and multiply by 7 to get average weekly consumption.
Item 3. Other Dairy Products - These items account for the average weekly consumption of the family on all other milk extracts and dairy products like cheese (all kinds), butter (Anchor, Magnolia), cream (Nestle cream, Magnolia all purpose cream), yoghurt, etc.
Note that Dari-Creme, Milkrema and Golden Crown will be included in A1.9 Margarine.
Item 4. Eggs
Fresh - Includes eggs of chicken, ducks/geese, quail and other bird's eggs. Also included are turtle's eggs, etc., which are consumed by the family.
