Lacson Seeks Easier Transactions, Better Fight vs Crime with National Reference System Bill

The public may soon have an easier time transacting with the Philippine government with the establishment of a National Reference System, as provided for in Senate Bill 41, filed by Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson.

Lacson noted it is becoming growingly impractical for a person to remember various numbers issued by government agencies, such as tax identification, student, passport, and government and social security numbers.

Also, Lacson – who headed the Philippine National Police from 1999 to 2001 – said a National Reference System can help government law enforcers deter criminality and terrorism by facilitating the processes of apprehension and prosecution.
