National ID initial enrolment target set at 7 million

THE government will start registering people for the Philippine ID system (PhilSys) by September 2019, with authorities targeting an initial enrollment of 7 million.

National Statistician Lisa Grace S. Bersales said that authorities are working to complete a proof of concept for the national ID system together with the Philippine Postal Corp. (PHLPost), prior to procuring an end-to-end system by mid-2019.

“We decided not to do the procurement for proof of concept and instead use whatever system PHLPost has, and just procure the system in June,” Ms. Bersales told reporters on the sidelines of a round table session organized by FINTQnologies Corp. — Melissa Luz T. Lopez
