The Department of Information and Communications Technology will soon be in charge of the production of e-PhilIDs, Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said on Wednesday.
"There’s now an agreement between the Philippine Statistics Authority and the DICT to transfer the provision of digital ID to DICT while PSA will continue with its physical ID production and distribution," Balisacan said. Balisacan said it was important for Filipinos to have these IDs to "reduce transaction cost in government as well in the private sector."
