Under the MOA agreement signed between the BSP and the PSA, the central bank will produce within three years 116 million blank cards that will have security features that are said to be are better than those used in making passports.

PSA head Lisa Grace S. Bersales said they are targeting to issue national IDs to all living Filipinos by 2023.

The Computer Professionals' Union (CPU) called for both the government and the public ?to be more critical and discerning of a policy, which centralizes and makes a tempting target of massive amounts of personal information.?

The PSA said it will announce the opening of bid procurement for the national ID by the third week of October.
