The Philippine Statistics Authority - Regional Statistical Services Office Cordillera Administrative Region led the 13th PSA Anniversary Motorcade on 02 September 2026, bringing together PSA personnel and partner agencies in a celebration of the agency’s anniversary and its continued commitment to public service.

The motorcade was organized with the participation of personnel from the Regional Statistical Services Office-Cordillera Administrative Region (RSSO CAR) and the Provincial Statistical Office of Benguet (PSO Benguet), together with partner agencies from the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples-Cordillera Administrative Region (NCIP-CAR) and the Commission on Population and Development-Cordillera Administrative Region (CPD-CAR).

As the PSA celebrates its 13th Anniversary, RSSO CAR remains committed to fulfilling its mandate of providing timely, accurate, and relevant statistics and civil registration services that support evidence-based planning, decision-making, and development in the Cordillera Administrative Region.
