The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Thursday said it continues to support the government’s national ID program as its official printer and will face graft complaints against its officials.
In a statement, the BSP said it will address the “complaint filed with the Ombudsman relative to the procurement for the printing of cards for the National ID System” and that it is assuring the public that the BSP officials concerned “will respond in the proper forum once required in accordance with applicable rules.”
“(BSP) supports the rollout of the national ID as it is key to wider financial inclusion that promotes shared economic growth and the financial wellbeing of Filipinos,” said the BSP.

The central bank will print up to 45 million of the national IDs in 2021, almost half of the targeted population, according to a Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) official.
BSP senior assistant governor and head of the Security Plant Complex (SPC) Dahlia D. Luna said they could produce this much, but stressed it will also depend on the number of registrations that the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) will complete next year.

“Basing on the PSA’s target, 45 million pieces of cards will be printed and personalized by BSP for 2021. But that is dependent on the volume of successful registration of personal data which PSA will undertake in 2021,” said Luna. The government is targetting to register 70 million Filipinos for the national ID next year after the Duterte administration added another 20 million to the original 50 million target.
