February 11, 2026 – Thirty-three (33) Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries, who are members of the Aeta indigenous peoples group, completed their Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) registration during the two-day on-site registration conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) in Brgy. Villa Espina, Lopez, Quezon last January 29-30, 2026. 

This on-site registration was conducted through the coordination of the 4Ps Municipal Operations Office in the said town considering that the barangay is one of the geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas in the locality.

“Bilang miyembro ng katutubong Aeta, malaki ang pasasalamat ko sa 4Ps dahil dinala nila dito sa aming komunidad ang pagpaparehistro sa national ID. Kahit na malayo ay narating ninyo, hindi na namin kailangang pumunta sa bayan para makapagparehistro,” shared Jenalyn Oloya, one of the 4Ps beneficiaries in the community.

Oloya added that the whole community will benefit from the national ID registration as this will help them in accessing services from the government.

All throughout the region, the DSWD encourages all 4Ps beneficiaries to register with the PhilSys as this serves as one of the requirements for accessing DSWD programs. [with reports from JCMasaganda]
