The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Quezon Provincial Statistical Office conducted a seminar for mall tenants of Pacific Mall - Lucena City, Quezon on 27 November 2024. It was held at the 3rd Floor Activity Center of Pacific Mall attended by eighty-eight (88) owners and representatives from establishments located in the mall including mall officials and Pacific Mall marketing team.  

One of the PhilSys advocacy campaigns is to raise awareness through the conduct of orientation to the relying parties such as mall tenants to discuss the benefits of being PhilSys-registered and having a National ID.

The seminar also focused on the use and acceptance of the three (3) formats of National ID, the National ID (printed on PVC card), the ePhilID (printed on paper), and the Digital National ID that can be accessed through the link, national-id.gov.ph.  An actual demonstration on how to download the Digital National ID was also presented during the seminar to familiarize tenants’ representatives on the verification process in relation to their respective transactions. Tenants were also advised and reminded to always check the authenticity of National ID being presented by clients using the National ID check application through everify.gov.ph.

Moreover, the seminar covered various PhilSys services, including the registration of new born and below one year old,  registration of children 1-4 years old and 5 years old above. Documentary requirements of the clients and parents were also discussed during the orientation. Other services included the updating and correction, request for replacement of peeled-off/damaged PhilID card, same day release of ePhilID upon successful registration, Transaction Reference Number verification and the delivery of Return To Sender PhilID card were addressed.

Additionally, clients were reminded that duplicate PhilSys registrations may invalidate authentication. It was also emphasized that,  person, entity or relying parties who refuse to accept or recognize any format of PhilID without just and sufficient cause is punishable under Republic Act No. 11055. (VO.Rabuel/PSA Quezon).
