PSA reports 60% of national IDs printedMANILA, Philippines — Still don't have the printed version of your national ID? The Philippine Statistics Authority said on Friday that it has already completed printing over 60% of the "physical cards" of national identification cards (IDs). PSA Deputy National Statistician Fred Sollesta said that as of March 15, about 54 million physical copies of the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) IDs have been printed. "If you look at the numbers, it's already overlapping and they are already using it in transactions," Sollesta said in Filipino. The PSA official added that the electronic and physical versions of the national ID have the same functions.
