11 June 2025 – ROMBLON, ROMBLON.  The Philippine Statistics Authority Romblon is continuing its commitment to inclusive service by bringing National ID registration services directly to senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs).

In a targeted initiative running since 15 May 2025, PSA Romblon, in partnership with the Office of the Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA), has established a special registration site at the temporary Municipal Social Welfare and Development (MSWD) office in the capital town. This collaboration aims to remove barriers for residents with mobility challenges, saving them from navigating the stairs and potential long queues at the Provincial Statistical Office.

To date, the initiative has successfully enrolled over 200 individuals into the National ID system. On-site personnel, supported by on-the-job trainees, provide assistance, including Step 2 Registration where biometric data (fingerprints, iris scan) and front-facing photograph were captured and ePhilIDs were issued. OJTs also assisted walk-in clients to generate their ID through the eGovPH mobile app. Support services like retrieval of lost transaction numbers and resolving other ID-related concerns were also given.

Over one hundred printed ePhilIDs have been issued to registrants or their authorized family members. To further promote the program, informational leaflets are distributed, and a free lamination service for the ePhilIDs is offered on-site.

By partnering with OSCA, these vital services were given to those who need them most. This focused effort is a testament to PSA Romblon's dedication to build an inclusive National Identification System that serves all Filipinos, especially the most vulnerable members of the community.
