MONIQUE, not her real name, considered herself lucky that she did not experience prolonged delays in receiving her physical copy of the national ID or PhilID from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), unlike many others.However, her relief turned to frustration when her PhilID deteriorated after just nearly a year of use, despite being touted as a lifetime or permanent document.The PhilID, integral to the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys), aims to function as a lifelong card granting access to several benefits and services for PhilSys-registered individuals.These benefits encompass streamlined access to government services, financial transactions, and social protection programs.“Lipay unta ko nga wala ko nagpaabot gyud sa akoang ID, dili parehas sa uban. Pero akong ID man nuon dali kaayo napapas akoang nawng, hasta akong information,” she told SunStar Cebu on Monday, March 25, 2024.(I was happy that I hadn’t waited too long for my ID to be delivered to me, unlike others. But my face and my information have too quickly been erased from the ID.)The 20-year-old college student from Bogo City, Cebu said remittance centers refused to acknowledge her transaction using her national ID when she claims her allowance from her parents due to her photo and some of her details having peeled off.So she considers the ID “not a great help and burdensome” instead of bringing convenience and help.Replacement Chief Administrative Officer Edwina Carriaga of PSA 7 said people like Monique have nothing to worry about as they are eligible to receive a new PhilID for replacement.Carriaga told SunStar Cebu that they had already received reported incidents of peeled off photo and information details of cardholders and already released replacements. However, she did not specify the numbers.She said it remains free of charge, and individuals should report to their nearest PSA office, including field offices in provinces or their regional office situated at Gaisano Capital Mall on Colon St., Cebu City.Upon reaching the office, the cardholder should present the peeled-off PhilID, complete a replacement form, and submit it to the registration supervisor while surrendering the ID.Carriaga added that since the cardholder has already input her biometrics, such as her personal data and photo, as well as iris scans, she is not required to undergo them again.The officer made it clear that there is no standard waiting period for the release of replacement ID cards, saying, “We cannot determine [the time frame] since replacement is a meticulous process and requires thorough processing, especially since the person was already issued an ID beforehand.”A check with the PhilSys website shows that the problem of peeled-off photos surfaced even before this year, as the PSA announced in March 2023 that it had begun replacing PhilIDs with peeled off photos. In January 2024, it reiterated its call for those experiencing this problem to have their cards replaced. Not all can apply Carriaga said that at present, only those with damaged PhilIDs can apply for replacement, not those who have lost their ID.A PhilID is deemed damaged or defective if its cover has been peeled off, if the photo is blurry or does not match the cardholder or if it has been erased out, resulting in the erasure of some entries.According to a report by SunStar Cebu last March 15, the region’s PhilSys registration tally reached 6,521,136 as of Dec. 31, 2023.In the region, Cebu leads with 4,140,045 registrations, followed by Negros Oriental with 1,150,746, Bohol with 1,139,677, and Siquijor with 90,668 registrations.At least 4,343,723 PhilIDs (physical ID cards) have been issued, representing 66 percent of the total registered individuals, while 2,243,106 ePhilIDs have been issued.The ePhilID enables more Filipinos to immediately access the benefits of PhilSys registration even without receiving the physical card. The ePhilID is the digital version of the PhilID. BeginningsPresident Rodrigo Duterte signed Republic Act 11055, also known as the Philippine Identification System Act, into law in August 2018. This mandated the production of the national ID as the government’s primary identification platform for all Filipino citizens and resident aliens, including foreigners who have resided in the Philippines for at least a year.For Filipino citizens, the PhilID does not expire. But it will be renewed upon updating of demographic information and biometric information. In particular, children below five years old at the time of registration must update and have their biometrics recaptured when they reach 15 years old.For resident aliens, the PhilID is valid for only a year. Renewal is annual.BudgetAccording to an October 2020 report by a national media outlet, the multi-year implementation of the PhilSys and the national ID project would require the government to allocate nearly P27.8 billion.National Statistician Dennis Mapa disclosed during a virtual press conference that the P27.8 billion would be allocated for various purposes, including hiring enumerators to collect census data door-to-door, procuring gadgets for data collection, implementing an automated biometric identification system, securing the services of a systems integrator, and reinforcing cybersecurity measures. According to the PSA, PhilSys registration began in October 2020 with low-income households in 32 provinces considered at low risk for coronavirus disease 2019, as the Covid-19 pandemic was raging at the time. This involved PhilSys registration teams going house to house to collect the registrants’ demographic information.The second step of the registration, which involved validating supporting documents and collecting biometric information like iris scans, fingerprints and photographs, started in January 2021. What does the Philippines call soccer? Philippines CEBU will face economic consequences if it does not fully prepare for future electricity needs.The Cebu Electricity Rights Advocates (Cera), a Cebu-based network of electricity consumer rights advocates, issued the warning during the launch of the Cebu Electricity Consumer Rights Campaign on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at the Palm Grass Hotel in downtown Cebu City. Cera, which was established during the first week of March, advocates for consumers to have equal access to stable, reliable and cost-effective electricity. It also ensures the interests and demands of consumers are heard.“We aim to provide the venues for the consumers’ participation in determining the quality and cost of electricity provided to us. We hold Veco, Cebeco and Meco accountable in ensuring power is delivered to businesses and households in a reliable and cost-effective manner,” said Cera.To achieve stable power, Nathaniel Chua, Cera convenor, proposed merging current distributors to become one electricity distributor so they can pool their resources to provide a lower electricity rate to consumers.“Instead of competition, why not collaboration? If we buy power in wholesale, we can negotiate for a lower price,” he said.The group encouraged people from different sectors to participate, saying everyone is affected when it comes to the issue of reliable and cost-effective sources of power.Chua said there are no groups that focus on electricity and advocate for stable, reliable and affordable energy.He said there should be a focus on three problems, which Cera deemed as the Energy Trilemma: energy security, which is the ability to meet current and future energy demand; energy equity, which is the ability to provide universal access to reliable, affordable and abundant energy for domestic and commercial use; and measures, which is the ability to mitigate and avoid environmental degradation and climate change impacts.He belied claims that Cebu has an adequate supply of electricity, pointing to the unscheduled power interruption on Friday, March 22, and Saturday, in the franchise area of the Mactan Electric Company (Meco).“As of now, ang supply nato sa electricity sa Cebu nipis ang atong reserve, so kinahanglan ta og stable power,” said Chua.(As of now, we need a stable source of power in Cebu since our electricity reserves are thin.)Chua said the inadequate supply of electricity will also lead to economic consequences similar to what happened in Panay Island where unreliable electricity services caused a blackout from Jan. 2 to 5, leading to economic losses estimated at P3.6 billion.He said they understood the need to balance cost and reliability, considering Cebu is an economic hub.“We wish for these electric cooperatives and distribution utilities to provide the best available technology which is reliable and not prone to unscheduled power interruptions to be the choice of generating facilities to serve our interests,” the group said. In May last year, local business leaders expressed concerns over potential shortages in the Visayas grid following “yellow alerts” that were issued due to the high demand for electricity vis-à-vis lower reserves amid the hot dry season.Cebu is currently under a dry spell as a result of El Niño, which the weather bureau Pagasa warned could persist until the end of May.High usage of appliances such as air-conditioners, electric fans, refrigerators and other cooling devices has been noted to deal with the high heat index, which can reduce energy supply.

Not all can apply Carriaga said that at present, only those with damaged PhilIDs can apply for replacement, not those who have lost their ID.A PhilID is deemed damaged or defective if its cover has been peeled off, if the photo is blurry or does not match the cardholder or if it has been erased out, resulting in the erasure of some entries.According to a report by SunStar Cebu last March 15, the region’s PhilSys registration tally reached 6,521,136 as of Dec. 31, 2023.In the region, Cebu leads with 4,140,045 registrations, followed by Negros Oriental with 1,150,746, Bohol with 1,139,677, and Siquijor with 90,668 registrations.At least 4,343,723 PhilIDs (physical ID cards) have been issued, representing 66 percent of the total registered individuals, while 2,243,106 ePhilIDs have been issued.The ePhilID enables more Filipinos to immediately access the benefits of PhilSys registration even without receiving the physical card. The ePhilID is the digital version of the PhilID. BeginningsPresident Rodrigo Duterte signed Republic Act 11055, also known as the Philippine Identification System Act, into law in August 2018. This mandated the production of the national ID as the government’s primary identification platform for all Filipino citizens and resident aliens, including foreigners who have resided in the Philippines for at least a year.For Filipino citizens, the PhilID does not expire. But it will be renewed upon updating of demographic information and biometric information. In particular, children below five years old at the time of registration must update and have their biometrics recaptured when they reach 15 years old.For resident aliens, the PhilID is valid for only a year. Renewal is annual.BudgetAccording to an October 2020 report by a national media outlet, the multi-year implementation of the PhilSys and the national ID project would require the government to allocate nearly P27.8 billion.National Statistician Dennis Mapa disclosed during a virtual press conference that the P27.8 billion would be allocated for various purposes, including hiring enumerators to collect census data door-to-door, procuring gadgets for data collection, implementing an automated biometric identification system, securing the services of a systems integrator, and reinforcing cybersecurity measures. According to the PSA, PhilSys registration began in October 2020 with low-income households in 32 provinces considered at low risk for coronavirus disease 2019, as the Covid-19 pandemic was raging at the time. This involved PhilSys registration teams going house to house to collect the registrants’ demographic information.The second step of the registration, which involved validating supporting documents and collecting biometric information like iris scans, fingerprints and photographs, started in January 2021.

CEBU will face economic consequences if it does not fully prepare for future electricity needs.The Cebu Electricity Rights Advocates (Cera), a Cebu-based network of electricity consumer rights advocates, issued the warning during the launch of the Cebu Electricity Consumer Rights Campaign on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at the Palm Grass Hotel in downtown Cebu City. Cera, which was established during the first week of March, advocates for consumers to have equal access to stable, reliable and cost-effective electricity. It also ensures the interests and demands of consumers are heard.“We aim to provide the venues for the consumers’ participation in determining the quality and cost of electricity provided to us. We hold Veco, Cebeco and Meco accountable in ensuring power is delivered to businesses and households in a reliable and cost-effective manner,” said Cera.To achieve stable power, Nathaniel Chua, Cera convenor, proposed merging current distributors to become one electricity distributor so they can pool their resources to provide a lower electricity rate to consumers.“Instead of competition, why not collaboration? If we buy power in wholesale, we can negotiate for a lower price,” he said.The group encouraged people from different sectors to participate, saying everyone is affected when it comes to the issue of reliable and cost-effective sources of power.Chua said there are no groups that focus on electricity and advocate for stable, reliable and affordable energy.He said there should be a focus on three problems, which Cera deemed as the Energy Trilemma: energy security, which is the ability to meet current and future energy demand; energy equity, which is the ability to provide universal access to reliable, affordable and abundant energy for domestic and commercial use; and measures, which is the ability to mitigate and avoid environmental degradation and climate change impacts.He belied claims that Cebu has an adequate supply of electricity, pointing to the unscheduled power interruption on Friday, March 22, and Saturday, in the franchise area of the Mactan Electric Company (Meco).“As of now, ang supply nato sa electricity sa Cebu nipis ang atong reserve, so kinahanglan ta og stable power,” said Chua.(As of now, we need a stable source of power in Cebu since our electricity reserves are thin.)Chua said the inadequate supply of electricity will also lead to economic consequences similar to what happened in Panay Island where unreliable electricity services caused a blackout from Jan. 2 to 5, leading to economic losses estimated at P3.6 billion.He said they understood the need to balance cost and reliability, considering Cebu is an economic hub.“We wish for these electric cooperatives and distribution utilities to provide the best available technology which is reliable and not prone to unscheduled power interruptions to be the choice of generating facilities to serve our interests,” the group said. In May last year, local business leaders expressed concerns over potential shortages in the Visayas grid following “yellow alerts” that were issued due to the high demand for electricity vis-à-vis lower reserves amid the hot dry season.Cebu is currently under a dry spell as a result of El Niño, which the weather bureau Pagasa warned could persist until the end of May.High usage of appliances such as air-conditioners, electric fans, refrigerators and other cooling devices has been noted to deal with the high heat index, which can reduce energy supply. (RJM) licensed online casinos PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signed into law a measure that aims to strengthen and revitalize the salt industry in the country.Marcos signed into law Republic Act 11985, or the Philippine Salt Industry Development Act, on March 11, 2024, as part of the administration’s efforts to promote rural development and increase rural income.Under the law, appropriate technology and research, and adequate financial, production, marketing and other support services will be provided to salt farmers to revitalize the salt industry, attain increased production, achieve salt-sufficiency, and make the country become next exporter of salt.It mandates the establishment of a Philippine Salt Industry Development Roadmap to ensure the attainment of the objectives of the law, in line with the objectives and continued implementation of Republic Act 8172, or “An Act for Salt Iodization Nationwide (Asin).”A “Salt Council” will also be created to ensure the unified and integrated implementation of the salt roadmap and accelerate the modernization and industrialization of the Philippine salt industry chaired by the Department of Agriculture.The Department of Environment and Natural Resources and its attached agencies, including the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (Namria) and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), were also tasked to identify priority areas for salt production particularly in Ilocos province, La Union, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Palawan, Marinduque, Quezon, Misamis Oriental and Antique for the allocation of public funds.
