Melchor Diclas.
Individuals interested to avail of the government services are requested to register online in the bagongpilipinastayo.com and for them to show their electronic identification in the registration areas before proceeding to the target agencies or services that they want to avail of.
However, people can still register onsite in the registration area as walk-ins are very much welcome by the organizers.
For the first time in the history of the Philippine Service fair, the event will be joined by private companies, particularly the NLEX Corporation and the San Miguel Corporation, for the installation of the radio frequency identification (RFID) for Easy Trip and Auto Swift for motor vehicles that are yet to be installed such RFIDs to ensure their smooth travel along the various tollways leading to and from their desired places of destination.
Motorists will be provided the necessary RFIDs for free after paying the minimum load of P500 per sticker, thus, travelers, truckers among others should grab the rare opportunity because the said services will be readily available in the province during the two-day Serbisyo fair.
