New convenience for clients seeking for security papers of birth, death and marriage certificates will soon be offered in the Municipal Civil Registrar's (MCR) office of Trinidad town this province.
Just last week, Trinidad town mayor Judith "Babie" del Rosario - Cajes entered into a Memorandum Of Understanding together with the Civil Registrar General Carmelita Ericta, Philippine Association of Civil Registrars' national president Luchi Flores, Trinidad town Civil Registrar Lucia Cempron and Director of Civil Registration Department of the National Statistics Office Lourdes Hufana during the 5th National Convention of Solemnizing Officers in Cagayan de Oro City.
Mayor Cajes said that this new service of MCR Trinidad shall be useful to people who are applicants for civil registry documents in Security Paper which they can use for passport and visa application for travel abroad, requirement for taking Professional Board examinations (PRC), claims for benefits (SSS and GSIS), employment requirement, documentary evidence in courts and quasi-judicial bodies, employment, school purposes and government transactions.
The MCR Trinidad office is set to undergo training and workshop on the technical aspect of the new service. It is worthy to mention that Trinidad has been keeping the records of birth, death and marriages in the towns Dagohoy, San Miguel and Bien Unido before these three officially became towns.
This new form of service is the implementation of the program called "Simplification of Civil Registry Services--Cascading to the Provinces the issuance by Local Civil Registrars of civil registry documents in Security Paper," jointly implemented by the National Statistics Office (NSO), the Philippine Association of Civil Registrars (PACR) and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
The Office of the President through the Department of the Interior and Local Government (Bureau of Local Government Supervision) spearheads the program in consonance with the centerpiece programs of the government on the simplification of government transactions and elimination of red tape in the bureaucracy.
The Program is aims to empower public service and increase efficiency of public service by decentralizing and cascading the issuance of civil registry documents in Security Paper to the Local Civil Registrars in the provinces all over the country.
