DepEd employees register for National ID
EDUCATION Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones urged the entire Department of Education (DepEd) workforce to register for the National ID to make government services, especially in basic education, easier and more accessible to stakeholders.
Briones was one of the 894 individuals at the DepEd Central Office who recently registered for the PhilSys ID at the Bulwagan ng Karunungan from November 8-12 and 15, 2021.
“This is just one of many steps of DepEd in supporting the Philippine Statistics Authority in the rollout of the National ID campaign. We saw that having a national identification card would give Filipinos a convenient time transacting with government offices,” Briones said.
“Along with that, I would like to encourage the personnel from DepEd Regional and Division offices, schools, and other institutions to participate in this nationwide campaign once available in your localities as it gives us various benefits,” she added.
Days before starting the application, DepEd advised its personnel to pre-register for their preferred date and time for the on-site application to avoid the unnecessary flock of people inside the venue.
The Bureau of Human Resource and Organizational Development-Personnel Division (BHROD-PD) also reminded the personnel to secure the application form and requirement beforehand to ensure the smooth flow of the queue.
They were also instructed to follow stringent health and safety protocols during the entire process.
“We are very pleased and happy that the huge number of personnel have shown their participation for this event. This goes to show that having a national ID would be vital in government and non-government transactions,” OIC-Undersecretary for Human Resource and Organizational Development Wilfredo Cabral said.
After the process, applicants were given a form with a QR code that they would present upon the delivery of the ID, which would be delivered within three to six months.
The six-day on-site application for the national ID was conducted by the BHROD-PD, and the Office of the Undersecretary for Administration.
