HINANGGAYON, MOGPOG, MARINDUQUE. PSA Marinduque PSO actively participated in the conduct of Civil Registration Mobile Services in the barangay as part of the 34th Civil Registration Month celebration, with the theme "CRVS: The Future of Seamless Services" at Barangay Hinanggayon, Mogpog on 3 February 2024. This activity succeeded efficiently through the initiative of LCRO Mogpog. The activity was held at the barangay's evacuation center.

PSO Marinduque, led by CSS Gemma N. Opis, discussed PSA mandates, which include planning, developing, prescribing, disseminating, and enforcing policies, rules, and regulations, as well as coordinating government-wide programs governing the production of official statistics, general purpose statistics, civil registration services, and inclusive identification systems. On the other hand, RO II Ginalyn Muhi emphasized the significance of the CRVS Decade as well as a brief history of Civil Registration. 

Mogpog MCR Virginia Sartillo also provided information on Civil Registration Laws such as Republic Act No. 9048, Republic Act No. 9255, and Republic Act No. 10172 to the residents present on that day.  

Civil Registration is a continuous, permanent and compulsory recording of vital events in the life of an individual as birth, marriage, death, as well as all decrees, legal instruments & judicial orders affecting his civil status in appropriate registers as mandated by Act No. 3753, the Civil Registry Law. 

According to the declaration signed in 1991 by the late President Cory Aquino, Civil Registration Month is commemorated every February to emphasize the importance of civil registration across the archipelago. Through gatherings like these, it is hoped that more Filipinos will be encouraged to register birth, marriage and death events on time.
