The Ilocos Norte Provincial Statistical Office  (PSO) provided Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) services during the “Congress on Wheels” organized by the Office of Congressman Ferdinand Alexander A. Marcos in various barangays of Laoag City, Ilocos Norte in May and June 2024.

The Congress on Wheels is a community service event conducted every Saturday in Barangay Halls that allows the residents of Laoag City to avail different essential services such as medical, dental, veterinary, livelihood programs, and other assistance and services offered by different partner agencies. The event runs from April to August 2024.

The PSO was able to join the event on May 18 in Barangay Santa Maria, May 25 in Barangay Vira, June 1 in Barangay Pandan-Barit, June 8 in Barangay Bacsil North, and June 15 in Barangay Calayab, Laoag City.

Services offered by the PSO personnel includes registration with PhilSys, replacement of damaged PhilID cards, assistance with PhilID tracking, and transaction reference number retrieval.

A total of 56 clients were successfully registered with PhilSys at the Congress on Wheels attended by the PhilSys personnel. The PSO will continue to join the community service in the upcoming schedules and will offer additional services such as assistance in the updating or correction of demographic information, and generation of digital ID.

Launched on June 10, 2024, the digital ID of PhilSys-registered person which can be generated through mobile phones, and the availability of the updating/correction of demographic information in the PhilID card, which was implemented in the province in May 2024, are the two additional PhilSys services that the PSO offers to the registrants, free of charge.
