FORMER senator Panfilo Lacson said Friday that the failure in the implementation of the Philippine Identification System Act is unacceptable.Lacson's statement came after the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas terminated its contract with AllCard Inc., the Philippine Identification System supplier, due to failure to meet its obligations, resulting in production delays and consequently in the delivery of national ID cards.
9 million pre-personalized national ID cards were produced between 2022 and 2023, falling below the target of 116 million cards for Filipinos by 58.1 million. This resulted in a production loss of P1.06 billion, nearly 50 percent of the P2.1 billion contract awarded to AllCard.Former president Rodrigo Duterte signed RA 11055 into law on Aug. 6, 2018. Section 9 of the law requires every Philippine citizen and resident alien to register with the Philippine ID system personally.
