Republic Act 11055 also known as the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) Act aims to establish a single national identification system for all Filipino Citizens.
For this reason, all Filipino Citizens despite gender, civil status and even those under the custody of an institution shall have the right to identity through the PhilSys.
SSS Maningo on the discussion of the Registration process
The Davao del Norte Provincial Statistical Office (DavNor PSO) conducted a courtesy visit to the new Acting Superintendent of Davao Prison and Penal Farm (DPPF) – Chief Superintendent (CSupt) Rufino A. Martin. Followed by a brief conference with all the staffs and employees of DPPF with regards to the update on PhilSys implementation on 20 March 2023.
This activity was also administered to ask for permission to have the second wave of PhilSys Step 2 Registration to the newly transferred Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) and asked for an assistance in the issuance of printable PhilID or ePhilID.
