LEGAZPI CITY - Nearly 290,000 residents in Albay who registered for the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) have received their printed identification (ID) cards, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reported on Tuesday. In an interview, Cross Doreh Lee, PSA-Albay spokesperson, said out of the 897,148 who completed the PhilSys registration process, 286,054 or 32 percent have received their printed ID cards. "We apologize and ask for understanding for the delay in the delivery of PhilID. The PSA is doing its best to register and ensure the security of information," Lee said. She attributed the delay in the delivery of the PhilIDs to priority registration, printing, and delivery of the IDs of low-income group registrants. "This pertains to the first batch of individuals who have finished the input of their biometric information for the national ID registration. Since they are prioritized, it is expected that their IDs are much more to be released earlier,"
LEGAZPI CITY - The Philippine Statistics Authority in Albay (PSA-Albay) on Friday has urged more Albayanos to register for the Philippine Identification (PhilID). Cross Doreh Lee, PSA-Albay spokesperson, said the aim is to register 543,588 persons this year, but so far, only about 3.56 percent of the target has registered. "As per data, we already have 19,137 registrants who have already captured biometrics and demographic data, equivalent to 3.56 percent of the total target in Albay," she said in an interview. Lee said a total of 120,977 PhilIDs have been delivered to the recipients so far. Asked why there are delays in receiving the IDs, Lee said before printing, the IDs undergo thorough verification, apart from other factors. "While printing, the papers do not meet the quality of the printing, so it needs to be reprinted. The delivery also prioritized those who underwent step 1 registration or the house-to-house registration of the low-income families." "Som
