In a report to the House committee on good government and public accountability, National Statistician Dennis Mapa said that 1,322 of the 1,992 people that the committee sought to verify have no existing "birth records" in the database of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
In a letter to committee chairman and Manila 3rd District Rep. Joel Chua dated Dec. 11, Mapa said only 670 names were identified as "most likely matched" to existing birth records of the PSA.
Mapa said the PSA also found out that of the 1,992 names submitted for verification, 1,456 lacked marriage records, with only 536 showing possible matches. Similarly, 1,593 had no death records, while just 399 had corresponding entries.
