From FemaleNetwork.com: According to Senator Ping Lacson, the country currently has “33 different forms of identification issued by various government agencies;” that this ID system will “harmonize, integrate, and interconnect these countless and redundant government IDs” to “eliminate the need to present other forms of identification in a wide variety of public and private transactions, services, and derivative identity credentials.” Continue reading “All the Things You’ll Be Able to Use the National ID For [FemaleNetwork.com]”

Matapos na tila ‘matulog sa pansitan’ sa nakalipas na ilang administrasyon, ganap nang naging batas at mapapakinabangan na ng mamamayan ang panukalang National ID ni Senador Panfilo Lacson.
Ang naturang panukala na inumpisahang isulong ni Lacson taong 2001 nang maging senador siya sa unang pagkakataon ay ganap nang nilagdaan ng Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte bilang Republic Act 11055 sa isang seremonyas sa Malacanang.

Filipinos will now have an easier time transacting with the government and with private entities, after the National ID bill advocated by Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson was finally signed into law by President Rodrigo Duterte.
Lacson said Republic Act 11055, which harmonizes and integrates the redundant government ID cards into a single system, would also help deter criminality.
“At long last, we now have a law that breaks the formidable barriers between government and the downtrodden and the poor due to the lack of identification,” Lacson said.
Lacson is the principal sponsor of the measure, aside from being a perennial author since his first term as senator in 2001.
On the other hand, Lacson expressed thanks to President Duterte, as it was under his term that the national ID system – whose legislative journey spanned four presidencies – saw the light of day.

The proposed National ID measure is closer to becoming a law, after the bicam report was ratified in the Senate on Tuesday, May 29, 2018. It was adopted with only one dissenting vote.
Sen. Lacson, who sponsored the National ID bill in the Senate, led the Senate contingent that tackled the measure at the bicameral conference committee level. “It is my honor to report for consideration of the body the joint explanation of the bicameral conference committee on the disagreeing provisions of House Bill 6221 and Senate Bill 1738.”
From the Manila Times: Lacson said he found the claim of those saying that a national ID would infringe on people’s right to privacy inconsistent, noting that personal information are contained in passports, drivers’ licenses and other government issued IDs.

“Ang bill na ito is to serve the purpose of putting up a Philippine Identification System. No other data should be included or considered. Maybe in the future, let it evolve, let them fine-tune or refine the system later on, because we are only dealing here with putting up a Philippine Identity System assigning a PSN (Philippine Serial Number) to each and every Filipino citizen.” – Senator Ping Lacson
