Aligned with its commitment to continuously bring government services closer to Filipinos, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and the Department of Health (DOH) forged a partnership to establish National ID registration centers and kiosks within DOH-retained hospitals.

Through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed on 06 August 2026 in Manila, the partnership establishes a co-location strategy that will bring National ID services within reach of patients, hospital visitors, healthcare staff, and children, among others, in government hospitals.

With the agreement, the DOH joins the PSA’s growing network of government partners supporting the colocation initiative, following the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), which partnered with the PSA in April 2026.

Government institutions interested in partnering with or onboarding to the National ID system may contact the PSA via email at 𝐠𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐝@𝐩𝐬𝐚.𝐠𝐨𝐯.𝐩𝐡.

READ | PSA joins UN workshop, explores potential of register-based census of population

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) joined a workshop hosted by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) to look into the potential of adopting register-based census.

Called Capacity Strengthening Workshop Towards a Register-Based Census in Thailand: Exploring the Potential and the Path Forward, the workshop, conducted on 23 July 2026, was jointly organized by the National Statistical Office of Thailand (TNSO), ESCAP, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Thailand Country Office, and non-government organization, Vital Strategies.

The workshop explored the potential, requirements, and pathways for transitioning toward a register-based population and housing census in Thailand—an approach that utilizes existing administrative records, such as population registries, tax records, and social security databases, instead of relying solely on traditional house-to-house enumeration.

Representing the PSA, Chief Statistical Specialist Angelie Grace B. Aycardo shared how the Self-Assessment Tool on Readiness to Use Administrative Data for Census can help identify existing capacities, readiness gaps, and priority actions in using administrative data.

The Philippines’ participation aligns with the extension of the Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Decade until 2030 and supports efforts to strengthen civil registration, legal identity systems, and the production and use of vital statistics toward universal and timely civil registration.

More than 24 million Filipinos have successfully used their National ID to verify their identities and open e-wallet accounts through GCash, a huge stride milestone in the country’s push for greater financial inclusion.

As of May 2026, 61 percent of onboarded GCash users—equivalent to 24.4 million Filipinos—used their National IDs, whether in card, paper, or digital format, for account opening and verification.

Aligned with the administration’s directives to accelerate nationwide digitalization and bring essential services closer to the people, the PSA continues to advance financial inclusion at the grassroots level.

Financial institutions interested in partnering or onboarding with the National ID system may reach the PSA via email at 𝐟𝐩𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐝@𝐩𝐬𝐚.𝐠𝐨𝐯.𝐩𝐡.
