An establishment marked “Branch only” under Economic Organization (EO = 2), and the main office address is listed as “123 Orchard Rd., Singapore.” The questionnaire also reports consolidated financial data including revenue from other branches. What is the correct action during manual processing?

• Accept the entry as is and proceed with completeness check.

• Contact the main office to request a breakdown per branch.

• Treat the branch as a single establishment (EO = 1) and correct the data accordingly.

• Transcribe the data to a new questionnaire and disregard the original.

An establishment marked EO = 3 (Establishment and Main Office) reports total employment of 80. Upon review, the figure includes employees from three branches and an ancillary unit. What should be done?

• Accept it because EO = 3 allows branch inclusion.

• Exclude branch and ancillary unit staff from the total.

• Confirm if it’s a KAU sample; if not, adjust total employment to refer only to the sample unit.

• Tag the report as invalid and return to field staff.

During a consistency check, a Form 1 report shows the following:

• Sale of Products: ₱2,000,000

• Direct Materials Used: ₱0
  What should the data processor do?

• Accept the values since no loss is reported.

• Flag this for inconsistency and verify the materials used.

• Correct direct materials used to match industry average.

• Enter “N/A” for direct materials used.

In Item 17a, an establishment reports ₱5,000,000 in e-commerce sales. However, both Item 1E (Website) and 1F (Social Media) are marked “NONE.” How should this be handled?

• Accept it, e-commerce doesn't require an online presence.

• Remove the ₱5M from e-commerce and shift to total revenue.

• Verify with the establishment and update Item 1E or 1F accordingly.

• Write the e-commerce figure under “Remarks.”

Under Item 7 (Capital Participation), an establishment marked LO = 3 (GOCC) but reports 20% foreign capital. What’s the proper action?

• Accept the entry; foreign investment is allowed in GOCCs

• Adjust the foreign capital share to 0%

• Verify and correct it, since GOCCs must be 100% Filipino-owned

• Delete the entire Capital Participation section
