Requested from PSA by J. Hernandez at 12:31 AM on Feb. 18, 2020.
Purpose: Capstone project (thesis equivalent) for completion of Professional Master in Data Science program

Hi, I would like to request for the raw data used to compute the Consumer Price Index, particularly the weekly prices of the products/SKUs measured over the last 2 years (starting Jan 2018) . My intent is to do a comparison of these offline prices provided by PSA with the the online prices from sites like Lazada and Shopee. This is to analyze if offline prices suffice in defining the CPI or if the CPI should be updated with online prices. This will be used for my capstone project (thesis equivalent) for completion of the Professional Master in Data Science program I'm taking in UP.
