The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Thursday said it continues to support the government’s national ID program as its official printer and will face graft complaints against its officials.
In a statement, the BSP said it will address the “complaint filed with the Ombudsman relative to the procurement for the printing of cards for the National ID System” and that it is assuring the public that the BSP officials concerned “will respond in the proper forum once required in accordance with applicable rules.”
“(BSP) supports the rollout of the national ID as it is key to wider financial inclusion that promotes shared economic growth and the financial wellbeing of Filipinos,” said the BSP.
