No thanks to the poor implementation of the National ID law, many poor and deserving commuters may be denied the chance to avail of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3)’s “Libreng Sakay” this month, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.
Lacson, who co-authored and sponsored what is now RA 11055 or the Act Establishing a Philippine Identification System, noted many Filipinos still do not have an ID despite having applied for one years ago.
“This is good but unfair to poor and deserving commuters who will not be benefited by failure of government to provide the national IDs to them in spite of having applied months, even years ago,” he said in a post on X.
