The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is still working on the national ID registration at the city auditorium of San Carlos City.

At least 25,000 individuals have been registered since they started last March 17 which targets completion in December of this year.

Erwin Reyes, officer-in-charge of the city auditorium, said the PSA inked a three-month contract with the city auditorium and is set to renew soon.

He also said that they only allow 50 individuals to be catered in compliance with the modified general community quarantine guidelines for mass gatherings.

Reyes added that as part of the preventive measures, thermal scanners and sanitizers were set up while placing one-meter line markings on designated areas and tracking entries for contact tracing.

Barangay tanods were also deployed to guide national ID applicants as well as monitor them if they follow the health protocol such as wearing a face mask and shield.

Applicants are required to bring two valid IDs or birth certificate and marriage contract for fast and easy processing./WDJ
