Philippine Statistics Authority(PSA)

December 27, 2022 Dear Hannah Marie Rito, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Dec 26, 2022 10:25:05 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for Number of MSMEs that closed on the year 2020-2022. We were able to determine that this particular information is already available online and therefore cannot be counted as a valid FOI request. Please be informed that PSA does not release establishment-level information as we are bound by the confidentiality provision (Section 26) of Republic Act 10625 which states that: "Individual data furnished by the respondent to statistical inquiries, surveys and censuses of the PSA shall be considered privileged information and as such shall be inadmissible as evidence in any proceeding." "The PSA may release aggregated information from statistical inquiries, surveys and censuses in the form of summaries or statistical tables in which no reference to an individual, corporation, association, partnership, institution or business enterprise shall appear.” For our available data on ULE, you may refer to the links below: 2020 https://1drv.ms/x/s!Ajr9bkYQz9OcjweAfXodk00pKSS7?e=yb2ZrM ULE 2021 https://psa.gov.ph/content/more-108-million-establishments-operated-2021-which-generated-total-employment-857-million https://1drv.ms/x/s!Ajr9bkYQz9Ocjxs55IwTLgH3Efp8?e=q2Q84y For the explanatory notes, kindly check this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VLEYxCpW4RrB2wBX1CZ69KwyX0ZmzoVH/view?usp=sharing We would love to hear your Feedback so we can improve our services.
