PHL veterans office inaugurates new facility housing its records division

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 24): PHL veterans office inaugurates new facility housing its records division

The Philippine Veterans Affairs Office (PVAO) formally inaugurated a new building for its Veterans Records and Management Division (VRMD) as it celebrated its 44th founding anniversary Friday.

The facility will house and integrate all records of veterans and their dependents, PVAO administrator Ernesto Carolina said.

These records are the 201 files or the pensioners/veterans records of both deceased and active pensioners.

These files include application forms, documentary requirements and military service records, proofs of identity, evaluation/processing forms for benefits applied for by the pensioners, and attachments on approved and disapproved applications.

These will be consolidated into one veteran file which will be transferred from the Bonifacio Hall and the former VRMD facility to the new building, which is located at the PVAO compound in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.

Files gathered from the year 2001 to the present will also be stored there. As a pension management institution, records are the lifeblood of PVAO, highlighting the importance of the facility.

Carolina said it was named the VRMD to honor the selfless heroic sacrifices made by Filipino veterans.

“The digitization of records will facilitate the availability of veterans’ information and documents to using entities through their respective computer terminals, thus drastically reducing the processing time for claims benefits and in the validation of pensioners under the PVAO Validation Program,” PVAO deputy administrator Raul Caballes said.
