“For all these great benefits to happen, there must be broadband connectivity at all points of transaction”
Last month, I received what’s supposed to be a temporary national ID which is a paper print out to be cut out and plastic laminated to look like an ID card. As a convenor of consumer advocacy group CitizenWatch Philippines, we have been strong proponents of systemic digital transformation long before the pandemic shock forced us all to embrace the power of digital technologies and access to fast and stable broadband connectivity as essential tools for sustainable economic growth.Verification of one’s identity is fundamental in the fulfillment of any transaction whether you are the buyer or seller.
With a national ID integrated in the virtual marketplace, there will be strong trust between online merchant and consumers which sets up a booming e-commerce ecosystem. The most important but not so well understood challenge in rolling out the PhilID is that it is not the physical card to replace all the valid IDs we need to lug around but the database and digital verification system that will enable each point of transaction to immediately authenticate a person’s identity.
