The annual growth rate on meat remained at its last months rate of 2.2 percent.By Region, Month-on-Month Prices in NCR moved upward to 0.4 percent in November from -0.1 percent in October mainly due to the 0.9 percent price adjustment in FLW items from its previous months rate of -4.6 percent. In addition, prices of H&R items climbed by 0.1 percent and services, 0.6 percent. On the contrary, price increases were slower in FBT items at 0.4 percent from 0.6 percent while prices of clothing and miscellaneous items generally remained stable as they posted zero growths. Prices in AONCR advanced by 0.7 percent in November from 0.4 percent in October brought about by the higher rates seen in three commodity groups.

Price increments in miscellaneous items slowed down to 0.1 percent from 0.2 percent while uptick in H&R and services items correspondingly remained at 0.1 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively.

In general, bigger upward adjustments in the monthly prices were posted in the regions in Mindanao and the Visayas compared to those in Luzon with slowdowns in price gains in CAR and MIMAROPA.By Commodity Group, Month-on-Month At the national level, month-on-month inflation rate rose to 0.6 percent in November from 0.2 percent in October. Price additions were seen in FBT items at 0.7 percent from 0.5 percent; clothing items, 0.2 percent from 0.1 percent; and FLW items, 1.7 percent from -1.6 percent. Price add-ons in H&R, services and miscellaneous items remained at their previous months rates. The on-going harvest season of palay in some of the provinces brought adequate supply of rice in the markets. However, price increases were recorded in a few regions thus, these mixed trends resulted to a generally stable index for rice in AONCR. In NCR, the index further declined to -0.6 percent from its last months rate of -0.1 percent. The national index thus, dropped by -0.1 percent. The typhoons that hit Northern Luzon, Southern Tagalog and some parts of Visayas and Mindanao affected the production of vegetables and its subsequent supply in the wet markets. Hence, prices of some vegetables in the area went up during the month. In addition, higher prices of fruits were still observed during the period in review. All these factors resulted to the 2.3 percent increase in the fruits and vegetables index in AONCR and mainly contributed to the 1.8 percent increment in the national index. Some fruits and vegetables in NCR were also priced higher during the month as the groups index went up by 0.4 percent, but this was slower than its previous months rate. Price hikes in flour, flour products, bread, biscuits and bread products noted in some regions raised the cereal preparations index in the three areas: Philippines, 1.3 percent; NCR, 1.4 percent; and AONCR, 1.2 percent. The stormy weather conditions experienced in some parts of the country and the cold mornings during the month made it difficult to catch fish thus, there was less supply in the markets. This resulted to costlier prices of selected fish species as the fish index in AONCR picked up by 1.0 percent. Likewise, price mark-ups for dried and canned fish and some seafoods were observed in many regions. In NCR, the groups index climbed by 0.2 percent, slower than the 1.3 percent uptick last month. The national index grew by 0.9 percent, the same rate registered in November. The increase in the national index for meat at 0.9 percent, 1.4 percent in NCR, and 0.7 percent in AONCR was effected by the increments in the prices of beef, pork, chicken, and selected processed meat products in many regions including the NCR. Bigger demand for meat in celebration of All Saints Day and All Souls Day also contributed to the uptrend. The cost of imported raw materials in the manufacture of milk and milk products continued to go up and this raised the dairy products index in the Philippines by 0.8 percent; NCR, 0.5 percent; AONCR, 0.9 percent. Higher costs of inputs in the production of corn mainly pushed up prices of corn in the three areas: Philippines, 0.7 percent; NCR, 1.3 percent; and AONCR, 0.7 percent. The index for miscellaneous foods in the Philippines and AONCR gained 0.5 percent and 0.7 percent respectively, due to upward movements in the prices of cooking oil, coffee, sugar, garlic, powdered tonic drinks and selected spices. Price addition in miscellaneous foods in NCR was at 0.1 percent, same rate registered in October. Prices of eggs in AONCR went up so that, the groups index correspondingly rose in the area and in the Philippines by 0.7 percent and 0.2 percent, slower than their last months rates of 1.0 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively. The -1.1 percent drop in the group index in NCR was brought about by ample supply of eggs in the markets. The FLW index in the country jumped by 1.7 percent; NCR, 0.9 percent; and AONCR, 2.1 percent resulting from continued additions in prices of LPG and kerosene. Higher prices of charcoal also contributed to the increase. Price gains in gasoline, diesel, medicines, selected pharmaceutical products along with upward adjustments in medical and dental charges in some regions were noted hence, the services index registered increments in the three areas: Philippines, 0.5 percent; NCR, 0.6 percent; and AONCR, 0.4 percent.NOTE: CPIs and inflation rates by province and selected city are also available upon request at NSO, Industry and Trade Statistics Department, Economic Indices and Indicators Division (Telephone Numbers: 716-39-35 and 715-33-47).(Sgd.)CARMELITA N.

r - revised Value of Production Index gains in July 2013Value of Production Index (VaPI) for the manufacturing accelerated as it posted an annual growth of 5.2 percent in July 2013, according to the preliminary results of the Monthly Integrated Survey of Selected Industries (MISSI). Significant expansion in production value was observed inchemical productswith a year-on-year growth of 105.3 percent. This was followed by other five major sectors that posted two-digit increases, namely:furniture and fixtures(57.2%),basic metals(53.9%),wood and wood products(21.1%),beverages(13.4%) andnon-metallic mineral products(10.0%).Refer to Tables1-A and 1.On a month-on-month comparison, VaPI likewise maintained a positive growth of 0.9 percent in July 2013. Twelve major sectors reported a month-on-month increases in value of production, with two-digit increases observed intransport equipment(14.9%) andtobacco products(12.0%).Refer to Tables 1-A and 1. Volume of Production Index registers two-digit growth in July 2013Volume of Production Index (VoPI) gained as it recorded an annual increment of 12.1 percent in July 2013. Significant expansion in production output was exhibited byfurniture and fixturesandchemicalproductswith an increase of 135.9 percent and 115.7 percent, respectively. Other major sectors that contributed to the growth were the following:basic metals(78.5%),wood and wood products(18.5%),non-metallic mineral products(10.0%) andrubber and plastic products(10.0%).Refer to Tables 1-B and 2.VoPI, on a month-on-month comparison, grew 2.1 percent in July 2013. Three of the 12 major sectors that mainly influenced the growth were:transport equipment(15.3%),furniture and fixtures(14.2%), andtobaccoproducts(12.0%).Refer to Tables 1-B and 2.

Value of Net Sales index maintains a two-digit incrementOn a year-on-year basis, Value of Net Sales Index (VaNSI) continued to increase, showing an upward growth of 15.5 percent in July 2013. The major contributing factor was the expansion in sales of 13 major sectors of manufacturing industry led bychemical productswith a three-digit growth of 137.9 percent. This was followed by other seven major sectors that posted two-digit increases, namely:basic metals(76.9%),furniture and fixtures(75.1%),tobacco products(31.7%),leather products(21.4%),beverages(20.7%),textiles(11.7%) andwood and wood products(10.3%).Refer to Tables 2-A and 3.VaNSI, on a monthly basis also posted an increase of 0.8 percent in July 2013. This was primarily due to the increase in sales value ofleather products(13.2%).Refer to Tables 2-A and 3. Volume of Net Sales Index also exhibits two-digit growthVolume of Net Sales Index (VoNSI) continued to grow as it posted an annual increment of 23.1 percent in July 2013. This was attributed to the expansion in sales output observed in 13 major sectors, with three-digit increases reported by the following:furniture and fixtures(162.7%),chemical products(150.0%) andbasic metals(105.2%). Other major sectors that posted two-digit increases were the following:tobacco products(41.7%),rubber and plasticproducts(24.3%),leather products(20.0%),machinery except electrical(16.3%), andbeverages(14.4%).Refer to Tables 2-B and 4.On a month-on-month basis, VoNSI reflected a month-on-month increment of 2.0 percent in July 2013. The major sectors that recorded two-digit increases in sales volume werefurniture and fixtures(16.8%),leather products(13.2%) andtransport equipment(10.2%).RefertoTables 2-Band4.

Capacity Utilization in July 2013 is 83.3 percentAverage capacity utilization in July 2013 for total manufacturing was recorded at 83.3 percent. Fifty percent of the 20 major sectors registered capacity utilization rates of 80 percent or more. These were: petroleum products(88.7%) basic metals(87.3%) non-metallic mineral products(85.8%) electrical machinery(84.8%) machinery except electrical(84.7%) food manufacturing(84.5%) paper and paper products(83.2%) chemical products(82.7%) rubber and plastic products(82.3%) wood and wood products(81.1%)The proportion of establishments that operated at full capacity (90% to 100%) was 22.9 percent in July 2013. About 55.0 percent of the establishments operated at 70% to 89% capacity while 22.1 percent of the establishments operated below 70% capacity.Refer to Table 6.Table B Distribution of Key Manufacturing Establishments by Capacity Utilization for Total Manufacturing: July 2013
