PSA supports BBM call to collaborate with private sector for national ID

THE Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) welcomes President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s directive to tap the private sector in the digitalization of the national identification (ID) system, particularly its use cases, for seamless transactions across government agencies and private entities.

"Given the 75.8 million Filipinos who have already registered to PhilSys, we are eager to collaborate with the private sector to further accelerate our progress in expanding our use cases. We want our registrants to immediately reap and enjoy the benefits of PhilSys, as a digital ID system," says PSA Undersecretary Dennis Mapa, a national statistician and the civil registrar general.
