If the national government cannot implement the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys or National ID) properly, perhaps the local government units (LGUs), especially the more progressive ones like Muntinlupa City, can show the way by doing a better job of it.
On this note, former Senator and 2025 senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson wants LGUs to be the starting point for the proper implementation of the PhilSys Act, which he had authored and sponsored in the Senate.
“The National ID system is aligned with Mayor Ruffy Biazon’s aim for Muntinlupa to become a smart city. It can help not just in anti-crime efforts, but also in the implementation of social services. Muntinlupa’s MUNTIcen and MUNConnect programs are commendable,” Lacson said in Filipino at the flag-raising ceremony of the Muntinlupa City government early Monday.
“This is also in line with my advocacy to have full digitalization of all government transactions. And we can start such implementation in your city,” he added.
