San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte—In line with the government’s thrust of “Bringing Public Services Faster and Closer to People,” the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)-Ilocos Norte participated in the “INFresh Job Fair” held at Robinsons Mall, San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte on May 25, 2026.

During the event, the PSA Ilocos Norte National ID Team provided: national ID registration; issuance of paper-based national IDs; and assistance in accessing the digital national ID

These services helped job seekers and graduating students secure valid proof of identity for employment and other transactions.

The national ID, established under Republic Act No. 11055 or the Philippine Identification System Act, is the government’s official identification system that simplifies transactions and improves access to public and private services. It may be presented in physical or digital format and is recognized as valid proof of identity and age.

The activity also served as an avenue to distribute informational materials and strengthen awareness of the benefits and uses of the national ID system among participants.

The “INFresh Job Fair” gathered more than 2,000 graduating students from Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU), providing career opportunities and access to essential government services in one venue.

PSA-Ilocos Norte continues to support initiatives that make government services more accessible and convenient for the public.
