00:00 There is a digital version of the National ID now.
00:03 It can be an alternative to those who have not yet received a plastic card or paper with the National ID.
00:09 First news is from Dan O. Tincunco.
00:11 Of the 113 million population of the Philippines, more than 87 million or 75% have registered for the National ID.
00:24 But there are more than 30 million who are waiting to be issued a physical ID even if it is already verified.
00:30 For those who do not have a plastic card or paper ID, this is the first thing you can use.
00:35 The digital version, just go to national-id.gov.ph, follow the instructions and you will get the digital version of the National ID that can be saved on your cell phone.
00:48 Even if you have a card, you can use it for government transactions, even in four banks and one e-wallet.
00:56 While printing physical cards in the Central Bank of the Philippines is a printing facility, that's why the digital National ID is here
01:08 because 32 million individuals can download it right away.
01:13 Printing of ID is still ongoing, but the digital National ID cannot be used for temporary purposes.
01:20 This is not a stopgap. All those who can print a physical card can do it and there are more people who can use our digital National ID.
01:32 If you look at other countries, they are actually not releasing the physical card but utilizing the digital version.
01:41 What if there is a problem? It will be seen immediately if scanned in a National ID check system.
01:48 What if you don't have a phone for digital ID and no physical ID?
01:53 As long as you are registered, you can check in the e-Verify system. Just give your details and biometrics.
02:01 You can present yourself, only you. This is called the Cardless Verification System.
02:07 It's right because it will make it easier to identify the most vulnerable who may have different benefits like 4Ps.
02:16 We are using it to authenticate, for example, our DSWT beneficiaries.
02:21 The PSA together with the ICT has been already working behind the scene to make sure that government agencies and private sectors are using it.
02:31 And with the launch of the digital National ID, our expectation is that the usage will be accelerated.
02:39 The dream for everyone is not to repeat submitting documents and filling out forms for government transactions.
02:47 It may also be a distraction for investors.
02:50 This is a great tool to prevent fraud, enhances the KYC process and so makes the cost of doing business lower.
03:01 This is the first news I got for GMA Integrated News.
