The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) has begun using the PhilSys eVerify system across its core services, boosting safeguards against identity fraud and human trafficking involving Filipinos abroad.
Launched in Manila, the integration formalizes the CFO’s partnership with the Philippine Statistics Authority, linking all OF-CORS and R&R applicants to a verified PhilSys digital identity.
CFO Secretary Dante “Klink” Ang II said the initiative advances the administration’s push for modern, citizen-centered digital governance and supports President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s directive to improve public services.
PSA National Statistician Claire Dennis S. Mapa said the system strengthens security and confidence for Filipinos overseas accessing CFO programs.
Supported by the DICT, the project reinforces efforts to protect migrants from fraud and exploitation while enabling more seamless and secure digital services.
