Dear Jeremy Hernandez,

Greetings!

While the Statistical Act of 2013 (Republic Act No.  10625) provides that the confidentiality of information does not apply to specific information in the List of Establishments (LE), the Philippine Statistics Authority has temporarily suspended the release of LE pending issuance from the Office of the President of the "negative list of products and outputs" related to Executive Order No. 2, series of 2016 or the Freedom of Information Order.  In addition, the office is closely studying the implications of the said provisions in RA 10625 on the response rate and quality of establishment-and enterprise-based surveys/census conducted by PSA.

With this, we can only provide the distribution of MSME but not the list of establishments.

Thank you and regards,

OIC-ANS
