On coastwise trade statistics, the NSO has been recording the movement of commodities by port of origin and port of destination based on the Bureau of Custom's coasting manifests (BC Form No. 78) since 1968. In March 1979, an integrated system for coastwise shipping statistics designed to more efficiently and effectively collect, process and disseminate reliable domestic shipping, trade and port statistics from the Bureau of Customs (BC), Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), and the Ministry of Public Works, Transportation and Communication (MPWTC)\ was put in place.
On air trade statistics, a data collection and processing system on commodities flowing through the air transport system was operationalized starting with the documents from the Philippine Airlines (PAL), the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), and other domestic airlines in September 1977.
On rail trade statistics, a system for the collection and processing of rail commodity flow statistics from the Philippine National Railways (PNR) documents was operationalized in 1978.
The Commodity Flow in the Philippines is a compilation system of the National Statistics Office which generates comprehensive statistics on regional commodity flow by mode of transport. The system includes detailed statistics on the quantity and value of coastwise, air and rail trade by commodity, port of origin and destination. A publication is produced annually.
Data on the inflow and outflow of commodities in the different regions are used to construct inter regional and inter-industry relation tables. These serve as bases in the formulation and implementation of the various regional development programs like countryside development and port planning.

The Provincial Statistical Officer is responsible for the phases of the operation that are to be done in the provincial office. He/she supervises the collection and processing of documents; informs the Regional Administrator (RA) about the status of the collection and processing of documents in his/her province; transmits the processed documents/sheets and diskettes to the central office; prepares monthly progress reports (Appendix B), narrative and financial reports and submits these to the Regional Office.
The PSO submits the reports to the RA for consolidation. All PSOs reports are expected to reach the RA not later than 45 days after the reference month.
The PSO prepares a summary financial report (see Appendix C) specifying the stations covered by the Customs officers, the total number of collected documents and the total number of visits to the designated collection points. This report is expected to be submitted to the NSO Central Office (Chief, Industry and Trade Statistics Division), copy furnished the RA not later than 20 days after the reference month.
The source document for coastwise trade statistics is the Outward Coasting Manifest (Bureau of Customs Form No. 78), submitted by masters of vessels plying the inter-island ports to the collectors of the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) or their authorized representatives before the vessel leaves the port area. The Philippine Coastwise Passenger Manifest containing Information on passengers commuting, along with the Outward Coasting Manifest, are collected when a vessel carries both cargo and passengers. Otherwise, only one document is collected.The NSO is provided with copies of these documents which are collected by NSO field personnel from the PPA offices in the provinces. The documents collected are sorted, bundled, coded, edited, transcribed into processing sheets, and encoded in the NSO provincial offices. These are then forwarded to the NSO Central Office in Manila for further processing.
The data source for airway trade statistics is the Air Waybill (AWB) issued by the Philippine Air Lines (PAL) to every consignee. The acceptance and sales clerks of PAL prepares an extra copy of every AWB issued and the corresponding sales reports are collected by NSO field personnel. Reports collected from the provincial sales offices are sorted, bundled, coded, edited, encoded in the field before transmittal to the NSO Central Office. Documents collected from the Metro Manila sales offices are transmitted to and processed at the NSO National Capital Region (NCR), then diskettes forwarded to Central Office for further processing. There is no processing sheet for air waybill because codes are written directly into the air waybill.
The basic document used in generating the rail commodity flow statistics is the Daily Report of Outgoing Shipment (DROS) which is the summary of the daily cargoes shipped through the Philippine National Railways (PNR). The information contained in this form are copied by PNR personnel from the express / freight shipping orders issued for the day. These forms, accomplished by station agents, are collected by NSO field personnel. These are then sorted, bundled, coded, edited and encoded in the field before submission to the NSO Central Office for further processing.
Data processing
Manual verification of bundled and coded processing sheets and documents done by the statistician at the provincial offices.
Completeness check of data files emailed from provincial offices done by statistician at the central office.
Data appraisal
Not applicable.
If quantity and value are not given within coasting manifest gathered, the value is estimated based on the prevailing unit price in the area, transcribing the data into the processing sheet (PS) sheets.
