Sources & methods

Every number on this page comes from the Philippine Statistics Authority's Provincial Product Accounts (PSA OpenSTAT, retrieved September 2026). GDP is at constant 2018 prices, so years compare without inflation. Per-person GDP is PSA's own figure, which divides by PSA's population projections. Population is from the 2024 Census, so the two won't always divide evenly.

What "Include cities" does

PSA reports 17 highly urbanized cities outside Metro Manila separately from the provinces around them — Davao City apart from Davao del Sur, Puerto Princesa apart from Palawan. Turning on "Include cities" adds each city back to its home province for GDP and per-person figures. Growth always shows the province alone.

Pesos and dollars

All figures are in constant 2018 pesos. The dollar view divides them by ₱57.51 per US$ — the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas 2025 average — so you can get a sense of scale. It isn't the same as GDP measured in current US dollars.

Sectors

Sector shares group PSA's 16 industries into 10 categories. PSA's "Accommodation & food" is a narrow measure of tourism — the broader tourism economy also shows up in transport, trade and real estate, so tourism provinces often look smaller here than they feel on the ground.

Map

Province boundaries: 2023 PSGC boundaries (faeldon/philippines-json-maps, MIT license), simplified. Metro Manila, Isabela City and the BARMM Special Geographic Area are shown in gray — PSA doesn't count them as provinces. The five shades split provinces into equal-sized groups for the selected measure.

What's not here yet

Unemployment isn't shown yet. PSA does publish it by province, but once a year in its Annual Provincial Labor Market Statistics, not in the OpenSTAT tables this page is built from. Tourism is only partly visible in PSA's accounts (see Sectors).
