The Department of Education (DepEd) has enlisted student-leaders to support them in explaining the benefits and features of the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) to their fellow youth.
As our youth are digital natives who are adept in navigating online tools, we saw this opportunity to bring our student leaders at the forefront for the national campaign for Philippine Identification System that will help their fellow youth and Filipinos to access public services,
said Education Secretary Leonor Briones.
OTHER STORIES:
This week, DepEd organized the national orientation on the PhilSys for Student Government Officers. It was hosted by the Bureau of Learner Support Services-Youth Formation Division (BLSS-YFD), representatives from the Department of Finance (DOF) and the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
We are engaging our youth leaders in our National ID program to provide them better knowledge on its benefits, which includes having wider access to education and public services,
Briones said.
BLSS-YFD Chief Adolf Aguilar also emphasized the importance of the national campaign for the PhilSys introduction saying that the centralized national ID system brings a handful of advantages and benefits that the Filipino people can avail and enjoy.
DepEd further remarked that PhilSys will provide the youth and Filipinos easier access to services such as opening bank accounts, facilitating online payments, and social protection programs, healthcare, and education services.

Aguilar also believes that by targeting the youths, they could use their ‘puso,’ ‘galling,’ and ‘talino,’ in the national ID campaign. This will mobilize and raise awareness for importance of the national ID system ten folds.
This is a step towards our goals and achieve a Makabagong Pilipinas and with your help, we’re surely able to live in nation where no one gets left behind,
he added.
