LINGAYEN, Pangasinan, Philippines — The Provincial Government of Pangasinan, led by Governor Ramon V. Guico III, formally partnered with the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) through the ceremonial signing of the National ID Integrated Pangasinan E-Sys on March 10, 2026 at the Urduja Ceremonial Hall, Capitol Complex.
With the initiative, Pangasinan became one of the pioneering provincial governments in the Philippines to successfully integrate National ID authentication services into a local digital system. The integration will support the management and monitoring of health services in the province through the Pangasinan E-Sys.
Governor Guico said the integration contributes to the provincial government’s push to modernize public service delivery through improved data systems and digital governance.
“We have always been wanting to improve and integrate our systems and to create synergy. Basically, we will integrate our data. So from PSA, from what you have gathered and from our own. They will all be integrated. May this be a model for all the LGUs and provinces.”
Through the integration, the provincial government will be able to utilize verified PhilSys data to streamline identity authentication and strengthen service delivery, particularly in health-related programs managed through the Pangasinan E-Sys.
The partnership agreement was formally signed by Governor Ramon V. Guico III and PSA Regional Director Shiela O. De Guzman, with Provincial Legal Officer Atty. Baby Ruth Torre and PSA Pangasinan Officer-in-Charge Verna M. Palsimon, represented by Statistical Specialist Xavier Narvas, serving as witnesses.
As part of the province’s continuing collaboration with PSA, Governor Guico also announced plans to establish LGU-operated Civil Registry System (CRS) outlets to make civil registry services more accessible to Pangasinenses. The provincial government plans to open outlets in Lingayen and Binalonan, with another outlet being considered in Alaminos City.
These outlets will allow residents to conveniently request civil registrydocuments such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, and Certificates of No Marriage (CENOMAR) without having to travel to distant PSA service centers.
The provincial government also plans to strengthen its Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS), which gathers and updates socio-economic data to help guide policy decisions and improve the targeting of government programs.
PhilSys registration is among the services that may be availed under the Guiconsulta Plus program of the provincial government. Residents who wish to register only need to bring supporting documents such as birth certificate, passport, UMID card, or driver’s license.
The registration will also facilitate enrollment in Guiconsulta Plus, which automatically registers beneficiaries under the PhilHealth YAKAP program, expanding access to health services for Pangasinenses. (Danna Laureano, photos by JP De Vera | PIMRO)
