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,"
