National ID Registration Goes Home to Maragusan’s Senior Citizens

National ID Registration Goes Home to Maragusan’s Senior Citizens

03 June 2025

The activity was carried out in coordination with the Local Government Unit (LGU)

of Maragusan through the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office

(MSWDO) to assist senior citizens in preparing documentary requirements for

government aid and services. While the National ID is still optional until June 2025,

it will be a mandatory requirement starting September 2025, as the National

Commission of Senior Citizens (NCSC) takes over the distribution of financial

assistance.

The National ID registration team visited elderly clients in their homes across

Barangay Poblacion and Barangay Tigbao, reaching bedridden and vulnerable

individuals in Purok Ilang-Ilang, Buyo, Narra-A, Caimeto, Aguacan-A, Bulahan,

Dahlia, Anthurium, and Secret Love.

You could see the joy and gratitude on the faces of the lolos and lolas as they

completed their National ID registration. Many of them had long awaited this

opportunity but were physically unable to travel to the registration center. With this

outreach, they now look forward to receiving the printed digital copy of their

National ID, which they can already use for official transactions.

Through this initiative, PSA Davao de Oro continues to ensure that no one is left

behind in the National Identification System — especially those who need it the

most.

Concerned families or barangay officials with similar cases are encouraged to

reach out to PSA Davao de Oro for possible arrangements of special registration.

For more information on the National ID Registration, please contact the National

Identification System Section with telephone numbers (084) 817-0347 and email
