Likewise, VaPI recorded a month-on-month increase of 2.9 percent in May 2008. Thirteen (13) of the 20 major sectors reported increases in production, with two-digit increases observed in the following: publishing and printing, tobacco products, basic metals, wood and wood products, and leather products.
Volume of Production Index (VoPI) also posted a year-on-year increase of 4.7 percent in May 2008. Major sectors with two-digit growth were observed in the following: leather products, footwear and wearing apparel, wood and wood products, basic metals, food manufacturing, beverages, and rubber and plastic products.
