The two-day activity was conducted by the Revitalized-Pulis Sa Barangay (R-PSB) NCRPO Team under Maj. Rowena M. Jacosalem, and the Barangay 105 R-PSB Team, for the benefit of Tondo residents.
Police officers offered to help residents in registering their birth certificates.
The R-PSB NCRPO accommodated and registered a total of 100 birth certificates, gave priority to senior citizens who are not yet registered, to help them access government services such as the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps)Â Â and the Social Security System (SSS).
Aside from senior citizens, the R-PSB also prioritized children who need birth certificates as a requirement for enrollment.
One of those assisted by the barangay police was an 11-year-old child whose enrollment was declined three times for not having a registered birth certificate. The student was finally able to enroll after securing a registered birth certificate.
