Umabot sa mahigit 10 milyon na Philippine Identification (PhilID) cards ang nai-deliver na sa buong bansa, ayon sa Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
Sinabi ni PSA Undersecretary Dennis Mapa, National Statistician and Civil Registrar General, nasa 10,548,906 cards o 33.7 percent ng target ngayong taon ay nai-distribute na hanggang Abril 30. “PSA recognizes this milestone as an outcome of our collective efforts with partner agencies and the field offices involved in producing and delivering PhilID cards to our registrants nationwide,” pahayag ni Mapa sa isang statement.
“We are determined to continue to put forth initiatives that will accelerate PhilSys operations across all sectors,” he added. Ayon sa PSA, ang ikatlong step ng PhilSys registration ay ang delivery ng PhilID cards sa mga registrants sa pakikipagtulungan ng Philippine Postal Corporation (Post Office).
Sinabi naman ng ahensiya na katuwang din ang mga field offices para mag-assist sa pagde-deliver ng PhilIDs sa mga registrants na matatagpuan sa mga remote areas sa buong bansa. Kaugnay nito, ang authenticity ng isang PhilID card at ang impormasyon na nilalaman ng QR code ay maaari na ngayong beripikahin sa pamamagitan ng bagong inilunsad na PhilSys Check.
“It is also working on the PhilSys mobile application, which is the digital version of the PhilID that can be used in public and private transactions ahead of the physical ID card,” pahayag pa ng PSA.
“We anticipate for more Filipinos to receive their PhilIDs. Simultaneously, PSA will continue to bring forward PhilSys services to make government and private services easily and conveniently accessible to the public,” sabi pa ni Assistant Secretary Rosalinda Bautista, Deputy National Statistician ng PhilSys Registry Office.
