LOOK | PSA conducts Civil Registration Joint Consultative Workshop

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), through its Civil Registration Service (CRS), conducted a Joint Consultative Workshop to review and enhance proposed updates to key civil registration guidelines.

Held on 02 to 04 September 2026, the three-day activity gathered the Technical Working Group, composed of representatives from various PSA offices, including the CRS, Legal Service, and Regional Offices, along with representatives from the National Authority for Child Care (NACC), Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), and Local Civil Registry Offices (LCROs).

The workshop focused on reviewing, harmonizing, and strengthening the proposed guidelines and procedures on:

โ€ข Manual of Instructions on the Accomplishment of the Amended/New Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) and Office of the Civil Registrar General (OCRG) Form No. 101; and
โ€ข Revision of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 9858.

Through technical discussions and consultations among concerned agencies and civil registration partners, the workshop facilitated the finalization of guidelines that will help ensure the accurate, consistent, and lawful preparation and registration of civil registry documents, while promoting more standardized civil registration procedures nationwide.

To create a safer, more accountable, and more trusted digital environment for Filipinos, Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Undersecretary Claire Dennis S. Mapa, PhD, met with Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Secretary Henry Rhoel R. Aguda to explore the use of the National ID Authentication Services (NIDAS) in age and identity checks for users of Roblox and Meta.

With over 96 million Filipinos registered, the National ID System will serve as the backbone of the country's digital identity ecosystem. The PSA assured that registered individuals can be verified through the National ID Registryโ€”no physical or digital card required. The pilot rollout is set to begin soon.

Key officials, including Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) Undersecretary Renato โ€˜Aboyโ€™ A. Paraiso; PSA Assistant Secretary Rosalinda P. Bautista, Deputy National Statistician of the PhilSys Registry Office; PSA Assistant National Statistician (ANS) Vazir Joshua Querol; and OIC-ANS Atty. Henedine P. Palabras were also present at the meeting.

The Philippine Statistics Authority โ€“ Regional Statistical Services Office of the Negros Island Region (PSA RSSO-NIR) successfully conducted a three-day training on the Statistical Survey Review and Clearance System (SSRCS) and Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC) Revision 5 on 25โ€“27 August 2026 at Southview Hotel, Dumaguete City.

The training enhanced the technical competencies of PSA personnel from the RSSO-NIR, and the Provincial Statistical Offices of Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental, and Siquijor on the proper implementation of SSRCS and application of PSIC Revision 5.

Facilitated by resource persons from the PSA Central Office and PSA RSSO-NIR, the sessions included hands-on workshops, practical exercises, and discussions on statistical standards, classification of economic activities, LGU statistical activities, and the mapping of local business tax classifications to PSIC.

The trained PSO personnel will serve as trainers for the upcoming provincial-level training for LGU personnel, particularly those from Business Permit and Licensing Offices and Municipal/City Planning and Development Offices involved in PSIC and CBMS implementation.

This capacity-building initiative strengthens the use of standardized statistical classifications and supports the production of quality, reliable, comparable, and harmonized statistics for evidence-based planning and decision-making. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

The Water Flow Accounts provide information on the flows of water between the environment and the economyโ€“from its initial abstraction as input to various economic activities to its return to the environment.

In 2025, about 97.4% of water was abstracted from surface water, while 2.6% was abstracted from groundwater. Water abstraction refers to the amount of water that is removed from any source, either permanently or temporarily.

๐Ÿ“Š Meanwhile, the countryโ€™s overall Water Use Efficiency (WUE) in 2025 was recorded at PhP 221.48 per cubic meter of water used, down by 4.3% from PhP 231.42 per cubic meter in 2024.
