President Rodrigo Roa Duterte signed Republic Act No. 11055 in August 2018. It known as the Philippine Identification System Act, aims to establish a single national identification system for all citizens and resident aliens of the Republic of the Philippines, based on psa.gov.ph.
There had been some issues that surfaced regarding this. Some complaints were expressed that the process is taking too long for them to get their national identification card from the government.
In recent months, the government was criticized because some people said that their photos were blurry and there was incorrect personal information. Some people did not like it also that they will just receive a piece of paper that looks like the National ID, for the meantime.
