Total Compensation in 2012 reaches 1.03 trillion pesos

Total compensation consists of gross salaries and wages paid to employees including employer’s contribution to Social Security Services (SSS), Government Social Insurance Service (GSIS) and other contributions paid by establishments in 2012.  Total national compensation in 2012 almost doubled in amount, accelerating by 95.5 percent to PHP1.03 trillion as compared to PHP526.87 billion recorded in 2006. This was mainly attributed to the 115.3 percent increase in compensation paid to the Services sector.  Moreover, compensation paid to Industry and Agriculture sectors also rose by 70.5 percent and 39.6 percent, respectively from 2006 to 2012.

More than three-fifths (63.3%) of the total compensation paid in 2012 were contributed by Services sector (PHP651.65 billion).

Industry sectors top revenue earner in 2012; NCR tops in spending

Total revenue or total income earned by establishments with TE 20 and over in 2012 grew by 75.8 percent to PHP11.44 trillion from PHP6.50 trillion in 2006. This was brought about by the increase in number of Services establishments in 2012. Almost all of the total income earned in 2012 was contributed by Industry (PHP5.67 trillion or 49.6%) and Services (PHP5.66 trillion or 49.5%) sectors, each contributing almost half of the total. They have a corresponding growth rate of 50.3 and 112.6 percent from PHP3.77 trillion and PHP2.66 trillion, respectively in 2006.   Agriculture with recorded income of PHP108.69 billion shared only 1.0 percent of the total and improved by 57.5 percent from PHP68.99 billion in 2006.

Figure 4 shows that the percent share in total income of Industry and Agriculture sectors in 2006 shifted to Services sector in 2012 (Figure 4).

Regionwise, share of NCR to total income was two-fifths (PHP5.29 trillion or 46.3%) and CALABARZON, one-fifth (PHP2.62 trillion or 22.9%).  Central Luzon contributed almost one-tenth (PHP1.03 trillion or 9.0%) while ARMM had the least share of 0.05 percent to total income in 2012 (PHP5.46 billion).

Industry sector incurs highest cost

Value Added amounts to PHP3.25 trillion; NCR tops

Value added, an indicator which measures the value of output minus the intermediate inputs, generated by establishments with TE of 20 and over amounted to PHP3.25 trillion, an increase of 70.4 percent from PHP1.91 trillion recorded in 2006.

Workers in Industry sector most productive, so does MIMAROPA

At the national level, value added per worker was recorded at PHP808.5 thousand in 2012, 15.4 percent higher compared to PHP700.5 thousand in 2006. Using this indicator, Industry sector was the most productive in 2012, with value added of PHP1.12 million and positive growth of 46.8 percent from PHP765.4 thousand in 2006.  Services sector recorded PHP671.0 thousand value added per worker in 2012, 4.3 percent lower than the 2006 level of PHP700.9 thousand.  Agriculture remained to be the least productive with PHP192.5 thousand and a positive growth of 43.4 percent from PHP134.2 thousand in 2006.
