Literal question
During the PERIOD SPECIFIED, did you or any member of your family incur any expenses, in cash or on credit, on other expenditure items such as life insurance and retirement premiums, interest payment on loans for household expenses, and others?
Interviewer instructions
This expenditure group includes payment for all other forms of expenditures such as premiums for insurance, interest payment on loans for living expenses, losses due to fire and theft, legal fees, membership fees to legal associations, professional organizations, etc. If there is a family member who is a regular wage earner, ask the amount deducted from his salary as payment for his MEDICARE, GSIS or SSS insurance, PAG-IBIG membership, etc.
Write the exact type of insurance on the Computations/Remarks portion. If the respondent has difficulty in determining the exact amount contributed to the GSIS (for those in the government service) compute the periodic contributions based on the salaries of the employed members and the following information:
GSIS - 3% of the basic salary per month (life insurance)
5.5% of the basic salary per month (retirement)
If any member contributes to the PAG-IBIG fund and the exact amount cannot be determined, compute the amount as follows:
PAG-IBIG - 2% of the basic salary per month for those earning more than P1,500
1% of the basic salary per month for those earning P1,500 or less
For SSS members, determine the monthly contribution based on the contribution schedule. (See Appendix B).
If the family had been unable to pay the insurance premium due for a period, indicate the amount due in the appropriate item but add the unpaid amount to the entries in Loans from Business Firms and Government Institutions of other Receipts (III-D, Item 3). However, if payments were made during the second visit, be sure to deduct the value to the Loans from Business Firms and Government Institutions (III-D, item 4) reported during the first visit.
Item 3 (Others) covers non-life insurance premiums and other types of insurance premiums paid for personal properties of the family like car insurance and house insurance. Again, indicate in the “Computations/ Remarks” portion the type of insurance. It also includes losses due to fire and theft; losses due to natural calamities, locusts, etc. if no harvest were made; payment for educational plans, legal fees, welfare and civic association dues, membership fees, or yearly dues MEDICARE; and the amount paid during the reference period for repossessed items such as appliances, furniture, etc.
