Mayors support national ID system
By Raquel C. Bagnol
THE Mayors' League of the Philippines supports the implementation of the national ID system, as this is the best way to make transactions for Filipinos easier.
Surigao City Mayor Alfonso Cassura, Iloilo City Mayor Jerry P. Treñas and Oroquieta City Mayor Jorge Almonte were one in supporting the system and said that there is nothing wrong with the system.
"Once implemented, Filipinos will possess only one ID card in lieu of all the ID cards we carry and that will be convenient for all of us," Cassura said.
Earlier, North Cotabato Governor Manny Piñol said the Governor's League of the Philippines endorsed the implementation of the national ID system.
"The governors came up with a unanimous decision to endorse the national ID system to once and for all eliminate the multiple IDs we carry for various transactions and make things easier for us," Piñol said, adding that this is a positive move for the country.
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo recently signed the executive order for the implementation of the national identification (ID) system in the country.
The government believes that a national ID system will help in its campaign against terrorism as well as in fast-tracking government transactions.
