CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - Underscoring the importance of civil registry and the documentation of demographics, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said it is now is adapting to a more technological and digital type of service in response to the Covid-19 health crisis.
From the electronic endorsement of civil registry documents, conducting of mobile issuance or off-site services in the hinterland villages, to mass weddings in coordination with the local civil registrars, PSA Regional Chief Administrative Officer Virgie Gayla said despite the challenges, services continue as usual.
And these services include PSA’s assistance to the Department of Health and the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases for the provision of timely and accurate Covid-19 related data.
Gayla said in addition to PSA’s current responsibilities they are also slowly working on the implementation of the National ID System, which aims to streamline citizen’s identification to make the government’s services more accessible to the general public.
“As we are highlighting civil registry this month, we are encouraging people to approach our civil registrars as we are aiming for one hundred percent coverage so our people can access the government’s services,” she said. (VPSB, Mindanao Examiner)
