SENATOR LACSON BATS FOR NAT'L ID SYSTEM: Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson expresses his support for the passage of the proposed bill creating the National Identification (ID) System, during the Kapihan sa Senado on Thursday, June 08, 2017. Lacson said that a singular, national ID card will help improve daily transactions and other processes in government offices, such as applications for clearances and other public documents. “What are we so afraid of in a national ID system? We have so many IDs right now, and it is so inconvenient. If we only have to use a single ID for all of our transactions, it is much better,” he said. Lacson added that in countries like Japan, the national ID system is used to help investigate and prevent criminal activities. (PRIB Photo by Cesar Tomambo/08 June 2017)
