TACLOBAN CITY– National ID registration in Eastern Visayas continues at full pace in 2026, highlighting the region’s strong commitment to building a reliable, inclusive, and accessible identification system for all Filipinos.
The Philippine Statistics Authority – Regional Statistical Services Office VIII (PSA RSSO 8) reports that as of November 2025, a total of 4.29 million individuals in Eastern Visayas have already registered under the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys).
This milestone reflects the sustained efforts of PSA, in partnership with local government units and community stakeholders, to bring National ID services closer to the people.
Beginning January 19, 2026, registration activities continue through PSA’s Fixed Registration Centers (FRCs) operating across the six provinces of the region. In addition, mobile registration teams are being deployed in selected and hard-to-reach municipalities to ensure broader coverage and improved accessibility.
Special attention is given to unregistered individuals, particularly senior citizens, persons with disabilities, indigent families, and residents of geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas. These initiatives aim to ensure that no one is left behind in the national identification program.
PSA Fixed Registration Centers (FRCs) remain open to provide other essential PhilSys services. These include updating personal records, correction of demographic information, replacement of lost or damaged National IDs, and assistance in tracking the delivery status of issued IDs.
Continuous coordination with local government units further strengthens community-based registration efforts and information dissemination.
The PSA encourages all unregistered residents of Eastern Visayas to take advantage of these ongoing services. The National ID serves as a valid proof of identity and supports easier access to government programs, social services, and financial transactions.
