The number of registrants slightly increased during the month of February 2025 due to the co-location with DSWD registration and authentication; given that we have 4 operating kits and 4 operators positions in three districts of Bataan and a fixed registration center at the Bunker. Coordination with the Local Government Units (LGUs), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Bataan and Department of Education Bataan (DepEd) to conduct National ID registration and authentication of National ID Card Number, issuance of ePhilID, and saturation of the area was done this month. PSA Bataan went to far-flung areas to extend the services provided. Furthermore, 3,507 in November, 4,554 in December 2024 and 1,521 in January 2025.
