Bishops support new ID system but wary of abuses

By Leslie Ann Aquino

It is the hope of a Catholic prelate that the newly signed national identification card system won’t be abused once it is implemented.

“Let us hope for the best that this law will not be abused,” Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo said.

Balanga Bishop Ruperto Santos, on the other hand, is hoping that the national ID would also be beneficial to overseas Filipino workers.

“It is our hope that the national ID would be especially beneficial to our OFWs against bribery and red tape in different government agencies,” he said.

Santos expressed hope that through the ID, the OFWs would save time and money in getting necessary documents.

He added that OFWs should be given proper and primary assistance through the said ID.

“We support the national ID system,” said Santos.
