PSA-8 eyes listing of 300,000 individuals in Philsys this year
TACLOBAN CITY – The Philippine Statistics Authority-8 aims to register 300,000 individuals in Eastern Visayas in the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) this year.
The agency has successfully registered about 3.8 million persons as of December.
PSA-8 Director Wilma Perante attributed their accomplishment to the collaborative perseverance of PhilSys field personnel, the local government units, stakeholders, and partner-agencies that continuously support their programs.
“We are calling upon our people especially those five-years-old and above to register and we are trying our best to bring our PhilSys services right to your doorsteps,” Perante said.
She added that PSA will further intensify its strategies to reach the grassroots level and enable people to register and have their ePhilIDs.
"Near or far, be it on smooth or rugged ways, the PSA will continue to reinforce its service and commitment to providing an inclusive identification system for Filipinos."
