CANDELARIA, ZAMBALES – June 14, 2025 — In a continued effort to bring essential government services closer to the people, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Zambales, in partnership with the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Candelaria, successfully conducted a National ID registration drive on June 14, 2025, in Barangay Poblacion.

The initiative saw a notable turnout of 36 registrants, with a strong focus on serving the elderly population. Of these, 35 were social pensioners, underscoring the collaborative push to ensure senior citizens in Candelaria are included in the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys). In addition, one beneficiary of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) was successfully registered during the event.

This targeted activity reflects the shared commitment of PSA Zambales and the LGU of Candelaria to prioritize vulnerable sectors, ensuring that all eligible citizens are equipped with a PhilSys ID, which is essential for seamless access to government services, benefits, and identification.

More community-based registration efforts are planned throughout Zambales as part of the broader push to ensure full coverage under the national ID program.
