The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is mandated through Republic Act No. 10625, or the Philippine Statistical Act of 2013, to compile and maintain macroeconomic accounts and indicators at the national and sub-national levels.

On the provincial level, the Provincial Product Accounts (PPA) is a mechanism to compile the GDP using a production approach at the sub-regional level. The GDP measures the value of all final goods and services produced within an economy in a given period of time. Consistent with national and regional accounts, the PPA follows the System of National Accounts framework for compiling the GDP at the subnational level. Through the PPA, the GDP of the provinces and the Highly Urbanized Cities (HUCs) are compiled, which can be used by economic planners, policymakers, and other stakeholders in assessing the performance of local economies, policy formulation and monitoring, impact analyses, among others, for an evidence-based decision making.

For full report, statistical tables, and visuals on the PPA releases, please visit our website at www.psa.gov.ph or at the PSA Regional Office or PSA Provincial Offices.
