This was explained today by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) before a Senate committee following reports that some government agencies or even the private sector want new birth certificates from applicants.
Appearing before the Senate civil service committee chaired by Senator Ramon ‘’Bong’’ Revilla Jr., Leo Malagar, PSA deputy national statistician, explained this PSA position following fears that a birth certificate has a limited validity period.
PSA said this fear arose from the issuance by the PSA of certificates on security paper and the change in its color.
It was learned that the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Department of Education (DepEd) are among some government agencies that wanted applicants to submit new PSA-issued birth certificates.
