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)
