TOTAL VERIFICATION PER MUNICIPALITY

One of the major programs of the Philippine Statistics Authority is the implementation of the Birth Registration Assistance Project (BRAP) in the country to ensure that all births of Filipinos are registered in the Local Civil Registry Offices (LCROs). This project aims to increase civil registration, especially in marginalized communities such as those belonging to the Indigenous people, Muslim Filipinos, and the poorest sector in the country which is a gateway for them to claim their social benefits and legal identity.

To intensify the campaign in improving civil registration in alignment with the three goals of the civil registration and Vital Statistics Decade for 2015-2024, efforts are focused on registering unregistered births and other registry documents.

As the continuously implemented around the country, PSA successfully registered beneficiaries of the BRAP which covered citizens of all ages: children and even senior citizens. More and more Filipinos benefited especially those persons in marginalized communities, Indigenous People, Muslim Filipinos and Poorest sector of the country, and persons currently living in their place of birth.

As of January 2025, a total of 8,342 birth records were received PSA-Civil Registration Services for verification whether they have births certificates in the Civil Registry System database. Out of this number, a total of 8,342 birth records have been verified, wherein 7,330 have no birth records while 1,012 were resulted to positive verification. Those who have no record will undergo the process of delayed registration at the concerned LCRO for registration. A total of 1,673 Certificates of Live Birth (COLB) have already been printed in Security Paper and issued to the Beneficiaries.
