NGAYONG nakita umano ang kahalagahan ng national ID hindi na umano dapat magpatumpik-tumpik pa sa pagsasagawa ng registration.
Pero nais ni House Deputy Speaker Mikee Romero na mas maging functional ang National ID sa pagtukoy ng gobyerno sa mga kailangang bigyan ng tulong.
“I am also readying a bill to amend the National ID law, so that the ID can be more useful, especially for selecting and targeting beneficiaries for government aid and services, as a stand-alone ID card. We want a much more functional or useful national ID like that of Singapore’s,” ani Romero sa isang pahayag.
Isa umanong maaaring paggamitan ng National ID ang pagtukoy kung sino ang mga maaaring lumabas ng bahay sa panahon ng quarantine.
“The national ID’s last digits could be used to determine who can go out of their homes for quarantine, where the ID is already the quarantine pass. A more functional ID can help save lives.”
Ayon sa lider ng Kamara de Representantes maaaring simulan ng Philippine Statistics Authority ang mass registration sa Hunyo 30. Nagsimula ang pilot testing noong Setyembre 2019.
“I suggest further that the mass registration starts in the smaller local government units of Metro Manila such as Pateros, San Juan, and Marikina. Mass registration could also be done in select barangays of Quezon City and Manila. Afterward, sign-ups can expand to other LGUs. This way, we get something done fast or target the “low-hanging fruits” first.”
Nakukulangan si Romero sa lalamanin ng National ID alinsunod sa Philippine Identification System Act (Republic Act 11055).
Ang laman ng ID ay Full Name, Sex, Date of Birth, Place of Birth, Blood Type, Address, Filipino or Resident Alien, Marital Status (optional), Mobile number (optional), Email address (optional), at Biometric Information gaya ng Front Facing Photograph, Full set of fingerprints, at Iris scan.
