DAVAO CITY, Oct. 22 (PIA) – The Philippine Statistics Authority Davao Occidental has already recorded 182,359 residents or 97 per cent of the 187,000 target population in the province, who have completed registration with the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) as of October 20, 2021.

 

Davao Occidental Provincial Statistics Officer Jessie Madulin is hoping that the remaining 5,000 population targeted this year will register before the year ends.

 

During his guesting in today’s Gobyernong Balitaan radio program of the Philippine Information Agency Davao Occidental on Energy FM Digos City, Madulin bared that the total registrants of the national ID system represents 57% of the total population (317,159) of the province.

 

To ensure continuous registration of residents in far-flung barangays, the PSA official said that they are currently employing mobile registration in selected barangays.

 

In the Municipality of Malita, the registration activities are located in the following barangays: Poblacion, Mana, Manuel Peralta and New Argao.

 

The PhilSys registration is also ongoing in barangays Calian, Dalupay and Mabuhay in Don Marcelino town; Brgy. Meybio in Jose Abad Santos; and Brgy. Mabila in Sarangani.

 

Madulin said that the registration for the targeted population in Sta. Maria this year has been completed.

 

Meanwhile, almost 53,000 registrants in Davao Occidental, have already received their national IDs, Madulin bared.

 

He said that the Philippine Postal Corporation delivers the national IDs directly to the registrants.

 

Madulin has once again called on the residents in the province to register with PhilSys which aims to provide the Filipinos with a valid identification that can be verified both physically and digitally.

 

The PhilSys also intends to provide Filipinos easier and more convenient access to financial services, social protection, health, education, and other government services, and to make public and private transactions safer, more seamless, and more efficient. (PIA-XI/Carina L. Cayon)
