600 Muntinlupa City employees to register for pilot rollout of national ID
About 600 employees and elected officials of the Muntinlupa City government will register in a pilot rollout of the national ID system.
President Rodrigo Duterte signed in 2018 Republic Act No. 11055, the Philippine Identification System Act, with the aim of establishing a single national identification system for all citizens and resident aliens in the country.

Mayor Jaime Fresnedi led the pilot registration of the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) at the Muntinlupa Sports Center in Brgy. Tunasan on May 20. The 600 employees and elected officials will register until May 24.
Registrants will undergo a three-step registration which includes the collection of demographic data for Step 1, validation and capture of biometric information for Step 2, and issuance of a physical ID card stored with a 12-digit PhilSys number or personal serial number (PSN) and a 16-digit PhilSys card number (PCN) for Step 3.
Fresnedi thanked the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) for facilitating the initial rollout in Muntinlupa and vowed to provide logistical support for the national ID registration in the city.
The PSA has yet to announce the exact date of the start of the PhilSys registration process for the general public in Muntinlupa. The city government aims to set up registration centers in malls.
Last April 21, Fresnedi signed a memorandum of agreement with PSA-NCR Regional Director Paciano Dizon for the rollout of the national ID registration in Muntinlupa.
Joining the signing ceremony were PSA-NCR Chief Statistical Specialist Estrella Vargas, PSA-NCR PhilSys Focal Person Minerva Carpio, PSA-NCR Statistical Analyst John Daniel Flores, and Muntinlupa City Planning and Development Officer Alvin Veron.
The national ID system aims to simplify public and private transactions, and will be a social and economic platform that promotes seamless social service delivery and strengthens financial inclusion for both public and private services.
The public may complete Step 1 of the registration at https://register.philsys.gov.ph/. A confirmation with Application Reference Number or QR code will be sent to the registered mobile number and email address of the registrant to be presented at the registration centers for Step 2 and Step 3.
