Baguio City – Racing their mission to register all in the identification system, the Philippine Statistics Authority Benguet National ID Registration Team remained dedicated, recording 672,789 individuals from Benguet and Baguio City as of December 24, 2024. This data has been monitored since the start of the registration in 2021.

The National ID Step 2 Registration in Baguio City recorded at 92.24 percent. Meanwhile, the municipalities of Tublay and Kabayan have surpassed the 80-percent mark in their National ID Registration.

The National ID Registration Team has been actively coordinating with schools and universities, local government units, and other agencies to promote the frontline services of the National ID. They have also organized Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) campaigns to raise awareness and inform the public about the new National ID services available. These include the "Rehistro Bulilit" program, which allows children aged 0 to 4 to be registered in the National ID system, as well as the issuance of National IDs in paper form and the Digital National ID. No matter the distance, the team is willing to bring all these services closer to all individuals.

Additionally, the team has implemented various registration methods such as Mobile Registration on Wheels, Fixed Registration Centers, and House-to-House Registrations to ensure they reach everyone, regardless of distance.

In 2025, the team continues its mission to register everyone by revisiting various schools and municipalities.
