9 articles on psa data for Philippine backyard keepers, every peso figure sourced and dated.
Philippine Statistics Authority series, and what they do and do not measure. The PSA publishes two different farmgate prices for the same bird, and averaging them gives a number that describes nobody.
Every page answering this question was written somewhere a barangay clearance does not exist. Here the ceiling is set by an ordinance nobody has collected into a national list, the DA's old registration floor was rescinded in 2023, and the state has no category for a flock smaller than 250 birds.
PAGASA puts the warmest Philippine month at 28.3 °C. Both imported brooding schedules want more heat than that in week 1, and by week 4 neither is asking for a temperature the coolest Philippine month does not already supply on its own. So the brooding decision here is not how much heat to add but when to stop adding it, and that date lands on day 21, where Mississippi State Extension already puts it and a full two weeks before Merck turns the lamp off on day 35.
The distance from the gate to the stall has averaged ₱60.50 a kilo since 2018 and sat between ₱50 and ₱75 in 92 of 102 months, while the bird underneath it got 61.1% dearer. It is priced like a service, not like a share of the manok.
The premium is real, sourced and per kilo. The profit is still not computable: the whole published record of what a Philippine native chicken eats is one 20-bird UPLB trial that ends six weeks before market age. Here is the half that has numbers.
There is no such thing as the Philippine chicken price. For June 2026 there are eleven, every one correct: seven priced by the kilo from ₱117.47 to ₱343.40, and four eggs priced by the piece.
Every guide to Philippine native chicken breeds carries a table of weights. Those weights are not in any Philippine primary source. What is published is eggs, egg weight, fertility and hatchability, and this page prints the empty columns rather than filling them in.
This country publishes what a keeper sells and almost nothing a keeper buys. That asymmetry is not an oversight, and once you see the mechanism behind it you can predict which numbers exist before you go looking.
₱150.31 and ₱118.69 are both the June 2026 Philippine broiler farmgate price. The gap is not an error, and averaging the two is.
Every wrong number this archive has published came in the same way: a primary record, restated by somebody, read at second hand. The fifth retraction broke the pattern by not being an error.
