“Mababawasan ang pila sa mga tanggapan kung magkakaroon ng ‘Pasa Loan’ o ‘Pasa Ayuda’ gamit ang national ID (There would be less lines in government offices if there would be an automated distribution of loans or cash aid),” Poe said in a statement.
The PhilSys, she said, could be connected to a mobile payment platform where individuals can pay bills, access government services, and receive emergency subsidies.
She mentioned for instance the IDs of students in the University of the Philippines, which also double as a cash card that could be used to receive stipends and pay for meals and school fees.
