The Local Civil Registrar’s Office (LCRO) announces the conduct of Operation Birthright, a project that aims to grant free registration of birth certificates for Bayambang residents who, for one reason or another, have failed to procure a Certificate of Live Birth.

A project in partnership with the Rotary Club of Cubao, Quezon City, Business Center led by past President Ramon Matabang, Operation Birthright is hinged on the belief that a birth certificate gives a person “a right to a name, an identity and a nationality.”

The LCRO met with Barangay Secretaries on July 25, 2016 and with Punong Barangays on August 5 to disseminate the information.

Survey forms were submitted to the LCRO on August 19, while Negative Certifications of Birth were processed and secured on September 1-7.

Mobile registration in the different barangays is scheduled to commence on September 14 and close on October 28, 2016.

In Barangay San Libo on September 14, LCRO Head Ismael Malicdem Jr. led the delegation from the Municipal Hall together with Rotary Club of Bayambang Secretary Gloria Valenzuela. They were met by Barangay Captain Minda Tamondong.

The target schedule for the processing and registration of documents is November 2-11, 2016.

The awarding or distribution of Certificates of Live Birth is slated on November 17, 2016.

So far, there are 413 registrants from the different barangays, with San Libo having the highest number, with 74 registrants. (PIO/Media Affairs)
