15 MAY 2024 - GASAN, MARINDUQUE. Ten individuals in the Municipality of Gasan were listed as BRAP beneficiaries as their birth certificates were successfully prepared.

PSA Marinduque PSO, in collaboration with LCRO Gasan, has successfully completed Mobile Registration on Birth Registration Assistance Project (BRAP) in the two barangays in Gasan - Barangays Mahunig and, Dili, last 15 May 2024. Birth Registration Coordinator Shiela Mae D. Matining, together with Gasan LCRO staff Jazzen Salazar, prepared certificates of live birth of six individuals in Barangay Mahunig whose birth records were verified not available in the PSA database. These individuals were registered after they completed the necessary requirements for delayed registration of live birth. Some of the registrants were born outside the province, hence, their documents will be forwarded and processed by the concerned PSO/LCRO for the subsequent registration. 

On the same day, another Mobile Registration on BRAP was conducted in Brgy. Dili, Gasan. The registration was held at the barangays’ Barangay Hall.  BRC Matining, and Gasan LCRO staff Salazar were present to deliver service to the constituents of the said barangay. Dili Barangay Secretary Julie Ann Regondola prepared the Certificates of Indigency issued by Punong Barangay and Barangay Certifications, which are necessary for delayed registration process. Certificates of Live Birth of four individuals were successfully prepared upon completing the necessary requirements. 

Started in 2022, one of the major programs of the PSA is the implementation of the Birth Registration Assistance Project in the country. This project aims to increase the level of civil registration especially in marginalized communities such as those belonging to the Indigenous Peoples group, Muslim Filipinos, and the poorest sector in the country and ensuring that they have their PhilIDs issued which is a gateway for them to claim their social benefits and legal identities.
