City of Mati, Davao Oriental – In celebration of the 33rd Civil Registration Month (CRM) this February 2023, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Davao Oriental Provincial Statistical Office conducted the 2nd Provincial Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) Quiz Bee for Local Civil Registry Office (LCRO) Personnel on 08 February 2023 at the Training Room of the provincial office. The quiz bee is patterned from the national conduct of CRVS Quiz Bee for LCRO Employees to highlight the celebration of CRM every February of every year. Now on its 2nd year, it is designed to test the knowledge of LCRO employees on civil registration and vital statistics as well as other relevant topics.
Seven out of 11 LCROs in the province sent their participants, namely: Baganga, Caraga, Governor Generoso, Lupon, Manay, City of Mati, and San Isidro. A total of eleven LCRO personnel battled three levels - easy, average, and difficult - of the quiz. To live up to the theme of the CRM, tablets were used during the quiz bee and an application called Quizziz was installed and used.
Questions for each level were trivia, history, and information about CRVS, business processes, policies, and procedures on CRVS, including information regarding the creation and other activities of the PSA.
After the three rounds, Angel Vidge B. Acaso, Registration Officer II from LCRO Caraga was declared as Champion besting other participants. She garnered a total of 51 points. Anecelia C. Lemente, Administrative Aide III from LCRO City of Mati came as 1st Runner-up with a total of 32 points, while Cecille B. Dominguez, Administrative Aide IV from LCRO Caraga got the 2nd Runner-up with a total of 31 points.
In her message, Officer-in-Charge (OIC) Emily P. Tomogdan expressed her appreciation to all the participants for taking their time and effort in participating the quiz. She also wished the best for the top 3 winners who will compete in the regional eliminations.
The celebration is pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 682 which declares the month of February of every year as Civil Registration Month affirmed by former President Corazon C. Aquino on the 28th of January 1991. The annual observance aims to remind the citizenry of their duty to register acts and events concerning status of persons, enhance nationwide awareness and appreciation of the legal, administrative, and statistical values of civil registry documents and enjoin policy makers and the Local Government Units (LGUs) to provide adequate funds for CRVS and enforcement and administration of laws.
This year’s celebration is anchored on the theme PSA@10: Providing Efficient and Effective Civil Registration and Vital Statistics through Digital Transformation. The public are also enjoined to participate in the 33rd CRM celebration by timely registering vital acts and events in their nearest LCROs.
