The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Occidental Mindoro Provincial Statistical Office, in partnership with the Local Civil Registry Office (LCRO) of Calintaan, successfully awarded Certificates of Live Birth (COLB) printed in Security Paper (SecPa) to eight (8) recipients of the Birth Registration Assistance Project (BRAP).

BRAP aims to ensure that all births of Filipinos are registered in the LCROs, particularly in marginalized communities. The project provides free COLBs printed in SecPa, which serves as a gateway for individuals to claim their social benefits and establish their legal identity.

The awarding ceremony was held on February 4, 2025, at the Municipal Gymnasium of Calintaan, Barangay Poblacion, Calintaan, Occidental Mindoro, during the opening ceremony of the 35th Civil Registration Month celebration with the theme, “Building Resilient, Agile, and Future-fit Civil Registration and Vital Statistics System.”

The PSA and its partners will continue to implement the BRAP in various locations throughout the country, aiming to reach more individuals and communities in need of assistance.
