All Filipinos to be covered by National ID system in 2022

As seen on the October 2019 issue of The Philippine Sentinel

All 110 million Filipinos will be enrolled in the national ID system by mid-2022.

The Philippine Statistics Authority said it is “on course” in the implementation of its strategic blueprint for the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) ━ the proposed proof of identity for all citizens meant to simplify public and private transactions.

Its enabling law was signed by President Duterte last year in line with the government’s drive to curtail bureaucratic red tape. This year, the PSA has finished procuring the registration kits which is one of the five major procurement blocks of the program. Ω
