In line with its commitment of providing citizens with a nationally-recognized identification document, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) will continue printing Philippine Identification (PhilID) cards during the holiday season.
The sustained production of PhilID cards is aligned with the national government’s broader initiatives to promote financial inclusion and inclusive economic growth.
Republic Act No. 11055 or the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) Act states that the PhilID is a valid proof of identity and must be accepted in all government and private sector transactions. As of 10 December 2021, there are 4,417,149 Filipinos who have received their PhilID cards, marking the end of a three-step process. The Philippine Statistics Authority, the lead agency of the national ID project, successfully achieved its 2021 target after 50 million Filipinos completed the second step of registration this year.
