PSA brings month-long National ID drive to Araceli
Outreach brings registration and paper-format National ID services to island barangays until 5 December.
Residents of Araceli, Palawan can register for the National ID and request its paper format through a month-long Philippine Statistics Authority outreach running until 5 December.
The mobile registration drive, which began November 5, brings services to island communities whose residents would otherwise spend time and money traveling to a fixed registration center.
In its 6 November announcement, PSA Palawan scheduled registration in Barangay Dagman on 9 and 10 November, followed by Osmeña on 11 and 12 November and Lumacad on 13 and 14 November.
Teams will proceed to Balogo on November 16, Mauringuen on November 17 and 18, and Madoldolon on November 19 and 20.
Later stops include San Jose de Oro, Taloto, Sto. Niño, Dalayawon and Tinintinan, before the activity concludes in Poblacion from December 2 to 5.
PSA encouraged unregistered residents to participate and urged parents to register their children, including newborns.
The outreach seeks to reduce travel barriers and make proof of identity more accessible to residents of geographically isolated communities.
