01 · The figures

What this series says

Computed from the rows during the build, over live rows only — a withdrawn figure is one this site could not stand behind, and reprinting it as a record high would be republishing it under a different heading.

A documented override, not the rule. Publication lag is not cadence: the source publishes a period well after it ends, and the reading then ages a whole refresh interval before the next fetch can replace it. 90 days sits above the worst healthy observation and below an outage.

Reading it: the line breaks wherever the source published no figure, and each of those runs is shaded. The vertical axis is fitted to the data and both bounds are labelled; it does not start at zero, because ₱150 to ₱260 on a zero-based axis is a flat line and a fitted one is the same fact made legible.

03 · What is in it

Rows, blanks and columns

Coverage

108 rows, 2023-01-20 to 2026-07-13. 96 carry a figure.

What the blanks are

12 of 108 rows (11%) carry no figure. Each is a weekly period the source published without a figure. Nothing is interpolated and nothing is carried forward: the gap is the honest answer and the row says so.

Which optional columns it carries

Beyond the period, the value, the source and the access date, which every row in this archive has. Counted from the rows, so a column that stops being filled stops being listed.

  • report_id — 108 rows. BAI's own identifier for the document the row was lifted from.
  • first_seen — 108 rows. the date this archive first held a row for that key, set once.
  • receipt_id — 108 rows. the content-addressed receipt proving which document it came from.
  • note — 12 rows. a sentence about that row in particular.
  • rangeLow — 10 rows. the low end of a published range; `value` is then the midpoint.
  • rangeHigh — 10 rows. the high end of that range.

Freshness

The newest figure is 40 days old, inside its 90-day budget.

A documented override, not the rule. Publication lag is not cadence: the source publishes a period well after it ends, and the reading then ages a whole refresh interval before the next fetch can replace it. 90 days sits above the worst healthy observation and below an outage.

04 · Where it comes from

Whose survey, read how, out of which document

government agency

BAI — Livestock, Poultry and Feed Ingredients weekly price monitoring

Every row carries the exact page or document it was read from, and the date somebody opened it — not just the agency. Those URLs are in the download, one per row, because "BAI — Livestock, Poultry and Feed Ingredients weekly price monitoring" is not a citation anybody can follow.

How it was retrieved

A table read out of a dated BAI weekly PDF. There is no metadata in a PDF to re-check against, so the document’s own printed headings are the whole guard and they are what the spec names. The table is matched on its heading TEXT and never its number: BAI prints this one as Table 5 in most reports and Table 7 in two of them.

Field Value What guards it
Category 19 — BAI's own report category —
Table heading Weekly Price of Hog per Kilo Matched as a substring of the line. A renumbered table returns a different commodity at a believable price; a renamed one returns nothing and says so.
Column group FROZEN —
Column Kasim The two header lines together identify the column. Neither alone does.

Four files, free, with attribution

Every row carries its source, its URL and the date somebody actually opened it, and the attribution line is repeated on every row rather than in a header — because the unit of loss is the row, not the file.

File Format Size Rows What is in it
pork-frozen-kasim.csv text/csv 40 KB 108 Published rows only, one row per period. Retracted rows are excluded, so an average taken over this file is correct without filtering. Null values are the token NA.
full/pork-frozen-kasim.csv text/csv 42 KB 108 Every row this archive has ever held, including withdrawn ones, with a status column and the retraction date and reason. Use this to audit the archive, not to compute on.
pork-frozen-kasim.json application/json 54 KB 108 The same rows as the full CSV, as JSON, with the coverage summary and the licence.
pork-frozen-kasim.parquet application/vnd.apache.parquet 6 KB 108 The published rows with types: the numeric columns are doubles and a missing figure is a real null rather than the NA token a CSV has to write.

Sizes: the real ones, from the same call that produced the bytes the endpoint serves. There is deliberately no Parquet of the full file — the withdrawn rows are the ones nobody may compute on without looking.

Or the whole archive at once

Every series stacked under one schema, typed, with real nulls. It is not this series — kept in its own block so nobody takes the whole archive by mistake.
