Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. ₱ thousand per person, 2018 prices · Philippine Statistics Authority (OpenSTAT), per capita GDP at constant 2018 prices, yearly from 2000; the World Bank's (constant 2018 pesos over the UN's population) before, rescaled to PSA's at 2000 · Philippines data · as of Oct 2026.
