The objectives of the 2013 SICT is to provide key measures of ICT access and use among establishments which will enable the assessment and monitoring of the digital divide in the country. Specifically, the survey aims to measure the following:
- component of ICT resources and their utilization by establishments;
- diffusion of ICT into establishments from various sources;
- e-commerce transactions from data on e-commerce sales/revenue and purchases;
- cellular mobile phone business transactions from data on sales/revenue;
- estimate of the number of ICT workers in establishments;
- methods of disposal of ICT equipment.
The SICT 2013 was a rider survey of the 2013 Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry.

Coverage
Regional - "core" ICT and BPM industries are the regions
National - "non-core" ICT industries
The 2013 Survey on Information and Communication Technology (SICT) of Philippine Business and Industry covered all industries included in the 2013 Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry (ASPBI).
For the purpose of the survey, these industries were classified as core ICT industries and non-core ICT Industries. Core ICT industries were industries comprising the Information Economy (IE). The Information Economy is a term used to describe the economic and social value created through the ability to rapidly exchange information at anytime, anywhere to anyone. A distinctive characteristic of the information economy is the intensive use, by businesses of ICT for the collection, storage, processing and transmission of information. The use of ICT is supported by supply of ICT products from an ICT-producing sector through trade.
Information Economy is composed of the Information and Communication Technology Sector and Content and Media Sector. Industries comprising these two sectors are as follows:
- Information and Communication Technology
- ICT manufacturing industries
- ICT trade industries
- ICT service industries:
- Software publishing
- Telecommunication services
- Computer programming, consultancy and related services
- Data processing, hosting and related activities; web portals
- Repair of computers and communication equipment
- Content and Media
- Publishing activities
- Motion picture, video and television programme production, sound recording and music publishing activities
- Programming and broadcasting activities

Sampling
The 2013 SICT utilized the stratified systematic sampling design with five-digit PSIC serving as industry strata (industry domain) and the employment size as the second stratification variable.
There were only two strata used for the survey, as follows: TE of 20 and over and TE of less than 20.
The industry stratification for the 2013 SICT is the 5-digit PSIC for both the core ICT industries and for the non-core ICT industries. It has the same industry strata as that of the 2013 ASPBI.
Establishments engaged in the core ICT industries were completely enumerated, regardless of employment size.
The establishments classified in the non-core ICT industries and with total employment of 20 and over were covered on a 20 percent sampling basis for each of the industry domain at the national level. The minimum sample size is set to 3 establishments and maximum of 10 establishments per cell (industry domain).
However, when the total number of establishments in the cell is less than the set minimum sample size, all establishments in that cell were taken as samples.
The overall response rate for the 2013 SICT was 87.04 percent (9,562 of the 10,986 sample establishments). This included receipts of "good" questionnaires, partially accomplished questionnaires, reports of closed, moved out or out of scope establishments. Sample establishments under core ICT industries reported 89.96 percent response rate ( 5,421 out of 6,026 establishments) while non-core ICT industries response rate was 83.48 percent (3,633 out of 4,352 sample establishments). On the other hand, industries classified in Business Process Management (BPM) had a response rate of 83.55 percent (508 out of 608 establishments).
For Core industries, the weight is equal to 1.
For Non-core industries, Weight Adjustment Factor for Non-Response
To account for non-response in the non-certainty strata, the adjustment factor (n/n') was multiplied with the sampling weight (W) of each of the sampling unit. The sampling weight, defined as N/n, was recomputed as
W' = N/n*n/n' = N/n'Thus, the adjusted weight (W'sj) for employment stratum in TE of 20 and over was
W'sj = Ns/ns * ns/n's = Ns/n'swhere:
Ns = total number of establishments in the employment stratum in TE 20 and over in the sth industry domain
n's = number of responding establishments in the employment stratum in TE 20 and over in the sth industry domain
Survey instrument
The scope of the study includes:
- general information about the establishment
- information and communication technology (ICT) resources of the establishment
- network channels
- use of ICT resources, Internet
- website of the establishment
- e-commerce via internet
- e-commerce via computer networks other than the internet
- use of mobile phones in selling and other business operation
- purchase and disposal of ICT equipment

To ensure quality of data during operations, close supervision of enumeration was undertaken by RDs/PSOs/OICs/Regional and Provincial Statisticians. Central office statisticians also conducted supervision in some areas with large number of establishments.
Questionnaires were administered by the field staff to sample establishments. The questionnaires were administered by the DSOs, SCOs, Provincial Staff and hired SRs to sample establishments in accordance with the timetable. Extra copies of questionnaires were brought by the enumerator in case of lost or changed form. The kind-of-activity or business (Item 2) or Income (Item 11) was checked to ensure whether the questionnaire was appropriate for the establishments at the sector level. Sample establishments were encouraged to accomplish and submit the questionnaires online. Collection date was set with respondents using acknowledgement receipt form (ITSD-ADM Form 5).
Distribution was undertaken for a period of one month starting 15 September 2014 to 17 October 2014 for 2013 SICT. Collection was done from 1 October 2014 to 15 December 2014.
Data processing
Manual processing took place in Provincial Offices at a number of stages throughout the processing, including:
- coding of some data items
- editing of questionnaires
