26 May 2025 – TACLOBAN CITY, LEYTE. The Philippine Statistics Authority Regional Statistical Services Office VIII (PSA RSSO 8) actively participated in the 74th Anniversary Celebration of the Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office No. VIII (DSWD FO 8) on 23-24 May 2025.

PSA’s team showcased the National ID (NID) and Civil Registration Services to the agency's employees during the event. The PSA was honored to be among the invited agencies for the "Government Agencies Service Caravan for DSWD FO8 Employees," held at the DSWD Regional Operations Center in Palo, Leyte. This event brought together the dedicated workforce from the Regional and Provincial Offices to access various services.

Registration Officers Marife R. Molon and Louie T. Medrano from PSA Leyte were on-site to assist DSWD employees with their NID registration and other requests. We also conducted an Information Awareness and Advocacy session on NID Acceptance and Authentication Services. This session highlighted the benefits of the NID and its authentication services in combating fraud-related cases for all attendees, including those from other government agencies. Further, our Civil Registry System (CRS) Mobile team efficiently processed and released requests for Civil Registry Documents in Security Paper (SecPa). Below is the summary of the services provided:

DSWD Regional Director, Grace Q. Subong, expressed her sincere gratitude to PSA delegates for their participation, especially on a Saturday, which provided DSWD employees with direct access to PSA services. Representing Regional Director Wilma A. Perante, Ms. Molon extended warm appreciation to Director Subong for the invitation and for the long-standing partnership between PSA and DSWD, particularly in serving the beneficiaries of DSWD's various social programs.
