In their commitment to deliver efficient civil registration services to the public, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Davao de Oro increased the level of civil registration in the marginalized communities, especially among the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) of the province, through the continuous implementation of PhilSys Registration Assistance Project (PBRAP). Last 20 June 2023, during the 12th Community Relations Service Month of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) Montevista District Jail, personnel from PSA Davao de Oro handed over the Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) in Security Paper (SECPA) to five IPs that belong to the Dibabawon and Mangguangan Tribe, held at Barangay Camantangan, Montevista.
These IPs were registered to PBRAP in partnership with the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Montevista through their Local Civil Registry Office (LCRO). As the PSA participated in the activity hosted by BJMP Montevista District Jail, they also conducted the mobile Batch Request System (BREQS), Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) or National ID Step 2 Registration, and consultation desk for the late birth registration.
During the event, District Jail Warden JCINS Jul Akbar L. Jamiri expressed his appreciation for the effort of the partner agencies in the national, provincial and local government, and the academe including the private sectors for taking active role to bring the government services closer to the residents of the municipality. Moreover, Mayor Cyrex L. Basalo expressed his gratitude to the BJMP personnel and other participating agencies during the caravan for their service to the IP community in Barangay Camantangan.
