Pangasinan Gov. Ramon V. Guico III supported the conduct of institutional registration and issuance of national IDs in paper form by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)-Calasiao, Pangasinan.
Said undertaking was aimed at bringing PSA’s services closer to the unregistered population aged one (1) to four (4) years old children from municipalities in all six districts of Pangasinan through the launch of the “Rehistro Bulilit Campaign.”
The event launch was scheduled to take place in six different locations in the province, which started on August 26 at the Alaminos City Sports Complex for District I and at CB Mall Balingit Urdaneta City for District V, respectively.
Showing his strong support for the project, Gov. Guico and 5th District Political Adviser Jesus ‘Isong’ Basco attended the ‘Rehistro Bulilit Campaign’ held in Urdaneta City.
Apart from the registration, the provincial government likewise provided services such as story-telling activities and children’s activities led by the Pangasinan Provincial Library (PPL); feeding activities by the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office; and medical and dental services by the Provincial Health Office. The ‘Rehistro Bulilit Campaign’ also serves as an opportunity to disseminate information regarding the National ID.
The launching will continue on August 31 to include: District II-Lingayen (TBD); District III-San Carlos City (TBD); District IV-Fixed Registration Center, Calasiao; and District VI-SM City Rosales.
As of August 20 this year, 2.6 million Filipinos have been successfully registered, with the majority of registrants aged five (5) years old and above.
The PSA looks forward to achieving its goal of having 92 million Filipinos registered in the National Identification (ID) System by the end of September 2024.
