Children should be included in the National ID database, says the Philippine Statistics Authority in Region 8 (PSA-8).
In a recent development, PSA-8 is actively promoting the registration of children aged 5 years and below in the Philippine Identification System.
PSA Regional Director Wilma A. Perante emphasized the importance of including all members of the family, particularly children aging 5 years and below, in this registration drive.
Streamlined Services
The initiative aims to ensure that children in the region are registered in the Philippine Identification System, which is a vital government program that provides a secure and efficient national ID for all citizens in the country.
By including children at a young age, the PSA hopes to streamline government services and ensure that every individual, regardless of age, has access to the benefits of the ID system.
Perante highlighted that registering children in the system early on will not only benefit the children themselves but also their families.
The national ID can be a valuable tool in accessing essential services, such as healthcare, education, and social welfare programs of the government.
The PSA-8 is working tirelessly to raise awareness about the importance of registering children in the Philippine Identification System.
Parents' Support
Parents are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity and ensure that their children are included in the registration process.
To ensure a smooth registration process for children in the Philippine Identification System, parents and guardians are advised to accompany their kids to the PhilSys registration centers.
It is essential to bring the original copy of the child's birth certificate along with the National ID of the parent. In cases where the child is accompanied by a guardian, an authorization letter from the parent must be presented.
This requirement aims to verify the identity of both the child and the accompanying adult, ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the registration details.
By following these guidelines, parents and guardians can facilitate the registration process and help their children become part of the national ID system efficiently.
Proactive Approach
This proactive approach by the PSA underscores their commitment to promoting inclusivity and efficiency in government services.
With the support of families and communities, the registration drive for children aged 5 years and below is set to make a positive impact in Region 8.
