Old Series

Notes:

The source of data for the new series is the Retail Price Survey (RPS) of Commodities for the generation of the monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) with base year 2012 and 2018.

The 2018-based (New Geographic Code) uses the new geographic grouping pursuant to Republic Act No. 11054 or the Bangsamoro Organic Law which transfers the City of Cotabato to Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, and Republic Act No. 12000 or the Negros Island Region Act mandating the establishment of Negros Island Region which comprises the provinces of Negros Occidental, including the City of Bacolod, Negros Oriental, and Siquijor.

For the old series, the source of data “Retail Price Survey (RPS) of Selected Agricultural Commodities” which was already discontinued effective February 2021.

The average monthly prices of the old and new series are not the same as their frequency and the number of sample outlets covered in the collection of prices are different.
