Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines – December 2024 – The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) hosted the National ID Kabalikat session on December 06, 2024 at Nhotel, Kauswagan, Cagayan de Oro City. This pivotal event brought together key players from the financial and private sectors, all focused on fostering the seamless integration of the National ID System to promote financial inclusion across the country, particularly in rural areas.
The core objective of this session is clear: to explore the transformative potential of the National ID in enhancing service access and streamlining identification processes across various sectors. The National ID aims to simplify transactions and make government and private services more accessible to all citizens, especially those in underserved rural communities.
The key goals of the event included identifying suitable services that could be enhanced or streamlined through National ID authentication, increasing the onboarding of applications from financial institutions and private sector partners who can leverage the National ID system, and drafting a comprehensive research paper to address the challenges faced by rural institutions while offering recommendations to guide future policies and improvements in the system. The session was guided by insightful presentations and discussions led by Angelou Jude L. Malabanan, PDO III; Rhenzo B. Matugas, PDO II; and Junairah M. Guro, PDO I. Their leadership and valuable insights into the integration of the National ID into the services of various sectors were critical in ensuring the success of the event.
This partnership between public and private entities marks a significant step toward achieving a more inclusive and accessible future, where financial inclusion and digital service access are available to all Filipinos.
We look forward to continuing our collaboration with partners and rural institutions to build a robust National ID system that benefits everyone, especially those in rural areas. Together, we can create a future of greater financial inclusion, accessibility, and efficiency for all.
