Isang makasaysayang araw ng paglilingkod ang naganap noong Setyembre 14, 2026, sa Negros Occidental High School (NOHS), Bacolod City! 🏛️

✨Kaisa ang Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) - Negros Occidental Provincial Statistical Office, naging matagumpay ang paghahatid ng libre, mabilis, at de-kalidad na serbisyo para sa ating mga kababayan sa probinsya.

Sa malaking pagtitipong ito, personal na pinangasiwaan ng PSA Negros Occidental ang National ID Registration and Issuance para sa mga residenteng wala pang opisyal na pagkakakilanlan. Bukod dito, namahagi rin ang opisina ng mga kupon para sa libreng Birth Certificate na maaaring i-claim nang direkta sa Bacolod City CRS Outlet upang matulungan ang mga pamilya sa kanilang mga legal at personal na pangangailangan.

Tunay na nadama ang malasakit ng pamahalaan sa pamamagitan ng paglalapit ng mga pangunahing dokumento at pagkakakilanlan sa bawat pamilyang Negrense. Ang programang ito ay patunay na sa Bagong Pilipinas, ang serbisyo ay sapat at abot-kamay ng lahat!Maraming salamat sa lahat ng nakiisa at naging bahagi ng tagumpay na ito! 🤝❤️
