27 March 2025 – SANTA CRUZ, MARINDUQUE. Marking another round of PSA Serbilis Mobile CRS Outlet Services in the province of Marinduque, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Marinduque, in collaboration with the PSA Regional Statistical Services Office (RSSO) MIMAROPA, successfully brought the Mobile Civil Registry System (CRS) Outlet to the Municipality of Santa Cruz on 27 March 2024. This initiative, made possible through the support of LGU Santa Cruz and the Local Civil Registry Office (LCRO) Santa Cruz, aimed to provide vital civil registration services closer to the people.

The Mobile CRS Outlet enabled residents to obtain essential legal documents with greater ease, eliminating the need for long-distance travel. As part of PSA’s broader mission to make civil registration services more accessible, this effort ensures that even those in remote and underserved areas can secure the necessary legal identity documents for various social and economic benefits.
Alongside the civil registration services, the event also facilitated National ID registration, further advancing the government’s goal of establishing a secure and unified national identification system. This initiative highlights PSA’s ongoing efforts to enhance identity verification processes and provide all citizens with access to essential government services, including social protection programs, education, and employment opportunities.

A key highlight of the event was the awarding of Security Paper (SECPA) Birth Certificates to beneficiaries of the Birth Registration Assistance Project (BRAP). This significant activity was led by PSA RSSO MIMAROPA Regional Director Leni R. Rioflorido, PSA PSO Marinduque Chief Statistical Specialist Gemma N. Opis, and Municipal Civil Registrar (MCR) Ermelinda R. Rey-Recaña, and Mayor Marisa Red. Providing these birth certificates plays a crucial role in reinforcing individuals’ legal identity and ensuring their access to various social and economic benefits.
Through these initiatives, PSA Marinduque continues to bridge gaps in civil registration and identification services, ensuring that every citizen has access to the legal identity documents necessary for availing social protection programs, education, employment, and other essential services.
