13 JUNE 2025 – ROMBLON, ROMBLON.  In its continued efforts to make the National Identification System more accessible, the Philippine Statistics Authority Romblon has launched a province-wide special registration drive through the National ID on Wheels and other senior-focused initiatives. These aimed at reaching elderly locals, especially those who are immobile or have difficulty traveling.

PSA Romblon successfully registers two centenarians under the National ID program.

In Romblon mainland, PSA registration personnel partnered with the Office of the Senior Citizens Affairs with the guidance of OSCA President Mrs. Semie Mallen to conduct the National ID on Wheels initiative. This mobile registration campaign which began in May and is currently ongoing, prioritizes bedridden social pension beneficiaries who are unable to visit designated registration centers due to medical or mobility constraints.

In Santa Fe, a special on-site registration was conducted at the town’s covered court from June 09 to 14, in collaboration with the Local Civil Registrar Office led by MCR Jacqueline Mayor. This initiative allowed more seniors to conveniently complete their Step 2 registration.

Meanwhile, in the island municipality of Banton, field personnel brought registration services directly to the homes of immobile senior citizens with the assistance of local barangay officials, reaching those living far from the town proper.

This registration campaign has already resulted in the successful registration of senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs), including two centenarians: a 100-year-old resident from Romblon and a 101-year-old from Santa Fe which indicates the program’s reach.

Throughout June 2025, and possibly extending into the following months, PSA Romblon will continue the initiative across all 17 municipalities of the province. The National ID on Wheels is expected to reach elderlies with schedules adjusted based on local needs and logistical conditions.

PSA Romblon encourages the public to assist elderly family members in preparing necessary documents such as a birth certificate, Senior Citizen ID, or any valid government-issued ID required for the Step 2 registration process.
