Senator Raffy Tulfo has slammed the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas over its take over from the Philippine Statistics Authority the printing of the national identification cards with a huge P28 billion contract.
Worse, Tulfo noted that after the PSA got the project from BSP, the contract was passed on to AllCard, Inc. Since the National ID law was passed in 2018, only 36 million physical national ID cards have been printed, re resenting roughly one-third of the government target of 92 million.with the BSP. But delay was not the only problem of All Card as it also committed a huge blunder,” Tulfo said.
As a result of this, the BSP may need to destroy millions of cards that have been initially printed to be replaced by a new design.
