PSA Mobile Registration Benefits Iloilo Communities

The Philippine Statistics Authority Regional Statistical Services Office VI (PSA RSSO VI) successfully conducted mobile civil registration services (Mobile CRS) across several municipalities in Region VI from September to December 2024.

In Guimbal, Iloilo, the PSA held mobile registration activities in nine barangays between November and December 2024.

Rosa Laguna, December 7 in Camangahan and Nahapay, and December 14 in Nanga and Rizal-Tuguisan.

The initiative was made possible with support from Guimbal Mayor Jennifer Garin-Collada and Municipal Civil Registrar Percylette G. Quidato.
