The PSA-Sulu has partnered with the Ministry of Social Services and Development (MSSD) to ensure the smooth preparation for the upcoming February–March 2025 Family Development Session (FDS). This initiative, undertaken in coordination with Registration Officer III, Mr. Bolkia D. Dumama of PSA-BARMM, aims to streamline the necessary processes, enhance program efficiency, and facilitate the registration of the National ID, particularly for unregistered beneficiaries.

A significant meeting was held on January 30, 2025, at the MSSD Office Walled City, Jolo, Sulu where key discussions took place regarding logistical arrangements, coordination strategies, and the implementation of biometric authentication for beneficiaries and unregistered individuals for the National ID. These aimed to establish a well-structured approach to facilitate the program’s success and enhance service delivery to the intended recipients.

The program was thoroughly discussed with the Ministry of Social Services and Development Provincial Link (PL) of Sulu. During the discussion, various aspects of the initiative were carefully examined, including coordination efforts and the necessary arrangements to ensure its smooth execution. Special attention was given to the implementation of biometric authentication for beneficiaries, aiming to enhance efficiency, security, and transparency in the verification process. These measures will help ensure that the program reaches the intended recipients effectively and without discrepancies.
