MANILA, Philippines After having his biometrics and personal data captured last January for the national ID system, President Duterte finally received his own national identification card Wednesday night.
Acting Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Karl Chua personally handed over Duterte’s ID prior to the 53rd Cabinet meeting at Malacañang.
In August 2018, Duterte signed the Philippine Identification System Act (PhilSys) into law to establish a single national ID system for Filipino citizens and resident aliens.
It aims to improve the efficiency, transparency and targeted delivery of public and social services, as well as ease transactions in both public and private sectors. The national ID system will also curtail red tape and eliminate fraudulent transactions and misrepresentations within the bureaucracy.
