STA. ROSA CITY, Laguna – The proper implementation of the National ID system holds the key to the effective delivery of social services especially to poor Filipinos, former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed Saturday.
Lacson, who sponsored and co-authored the National ID Law, said the National ID would have provided social welfare authorities with the database to determine which families need assistance from the government.
“Imagine if we had an efficient National ID system, we would not be left guessing on who to give assistance to, because we know who will need government aid,” he said in Filipino at the press conference of the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate here.
