In a continued collaboration between the Philippine Statistics Authority Region IV-A and Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office IV-A, 73,260 beneficiaries of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) were successfully registered in the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) as of May 12, 2024. The initiative, which began mid-February, aimed to register 4Ps who have not yet enrolled in PhilSys and to authenticate those already registered during the Family Development Sessions (FDS). The FDS is a monthly parent group activity attended by the main grantee/s of the household, usually mothers, to enhance their parenting capabilities and encourage them to be more active citizens of society.

PSA Regional Director Charito C. Armonia expressed gratitude for the collaborative efforts of the DSWD, local government units, and community leaders in making the registration and authentication drive a success. “This joint effort not only accelerates the PhilSys registration process but also empowers 4Ps beneficiaries, ensuring they have access to essential social services and benefits,” said Director Armonia.

The PhilSys National ID aims to streamline the delivery of public and private services, promote financial inclusion, and enhance overall governance. By providing a secure and unified identification system, PhilSys facilitates easier access to various social protection programs, financial services, and other government and private sector initiatives, thereby improving the quality of life for all Filipinos.
