Now you know PhilSys) MANILA – More than 10 million Filipinos have already completed the second phase for the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) registration. The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reported on Monday that 10,092,022 registrants have completed the collection of biometric information as of May 21, 2021. The Step 2 process validates supporting documents and capture biometrics (iris and fingerprint scans, front-facing photograph) at local registration centers. “We owe this milestone to the enthusiasm and support of our citizens to the PhilSys program and the hard work of the PSA Field Offices in making sure that registration operations roll out smoothly and safely in their respective provinces," PSA Philsys Registry Office's Deputy National Statistician, Assistant Secretary Rosalinda Bautista, said in a statement. Due to the pandemic, the PSA is doing the Step 2 registration gradually and on a small-scale basis. "We assure everyone that all will have a chance to register, especially when we ramp up our operations by the latter half of the year,” said Bautista
