The Philippine Statistics Authority Regional Statistical Services Office VIII, or PSA RSSO VIII, announced that there will be no transactions from June 29 to June 30, 2026 at PSA RSSO VIII and the Leyte Provincial Statistical Office in Tacloban City.
For residents of Tacloban and nearby Leyte towns, this affects planned in-person PSA transactions during the two-day period. The advisory was posted by the official PSA Eastern Visayas Facebook page on June 26, 2026, and specifically names the regional and provincial PSA offices in Tacloban City.
A no-transaction advisory can affect people who need public documents, civil registry follow-ups, government applications, employment files, school requirements, financial transactions, or identification-related services. A wasted trip to Tacloban can mean transport costs, missed work hours, and lost time in queues.
The advisory should be read narrowly: residents should not expect regular transactions at the named Tacloban PSA offices on Monday, June 29, 2026, or Tuesday, June 30, 2026, unless PSA issues a separate clarification.
PSA linked the June 29 suspension to Executive Order No. 2026-06-30, which it described as suspending work in all government offices in Tacloban City for the Sangyaw Festival Parade of Lights.
For June 30, the advisory cites Republic Act No. 7676. That law declares June 30 of every year a special non-working public holiday in Tacloban City, Province of Leyte, known as Tacloban Day.
The advisory also states that services at the National ID Fixed Registration Center at Gaisano Capital, Real Street, Tacloban City, shall likewise be suspended on June 29 and June 30, 2026.
This means people planning to register at the Tacloban fixed center should not expect regular service during the suspension. A fixed registration center is separate from a mobile registration activity, and PSA identified different arrangements for mobile National ID registration in Palo.
For residents who can travel to Palo, Leyte, PSA identified two National ID mobile registration options during the Tacloban suspension period. The National ID Mobile Team is scheduled to serve Barangay Cogon, Palo, Leyte, on June 29, 2026, and Barangay Tacuranga, Palo, Leyte, on June 30, 2026.
This is the main alternative stated in the supplied advisory. It does not mean all PSA services are available in Palo, and it does not mean the Tacloban fixed registration center is open. The mobile activity named by PSA is National ID mobile registration.
The supplied advisory does not state the mobile team’s exact operating hours, cut-off time, daily capacity, queue rules, or document requirements. It also does not state whether residents from outside Palo may be accommodated at the mobile sites.
Residents with urgent transactions, deadlines, or travel plans should check official PSA Eastern Visayas channels before leaving. This is especially important for people traveling from outside Tacloban or Palo.
On June 29 and June 30, 2026, PSA RSSO VIII and the Leyte Provincial Statistical Office in Tacloban City will have no transactions, according to the PSA Eastern Visayas advisory. The National ID Fixed Registration Center at Gaisano Capital on Real Street is also covered by the suspension.
National ID mobile registration remains available nearby only at the listed Palo barangays on the listed dates: Barangay Cogon on June 29 and Barangay Tacuranga on June 30. Residents should match their needed service with the correct location before traveling.
