PSA CARAGA TARGETS TO START THE NATIONAL ID REGISTRATION IN JULY 2020

SIEITE BALITA - The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Caraga, aims to kick off the registration for the National ID in July this year, in the region.

Dr. Rosalinda Apura, Regional Director of PSA Caraga, explains that not all will be able to register right away.

“Ang atong target na mahuman nato ang hundred thousand population sa Pilipinas within the next 4 years,” Dr. Apura said.

(It is our target to have the hundred thousand population in the Philippines registered within the next 4 years.)

The said agency foresees 14 Million Filipinos registered for National ID if it starts in July.

One of the requirements is the Birth Certificate. But if one has no birth certificate yet, Dr. Apura reassures that they will help to find ways.

“…Mangita ta ug pamaagi na ma-register gihapon siya or matagaan nato siya ug ID through the introducer system. Murag naay mag vouch para sa iyaha,” Dr. Apura added.

(We will look for ways so he can still register for the ID through the introducer system. It’s like someone has to vouch for him.)

Moreover, PSA has mobile registration in every municipality and barangay in coordination with the LGUs.
