The Department of Social Welfare and Development will use the Philippine Identification System to identify and verify its beneficiaries of various social protection services and welfare programs such as the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program and Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation program.
With the signing of MOA, the DSWD became the first national government agency to adopt PhilSys for authentication of its program beneficiaries. The DSWD said through the adoption of PhilSys, its social protection delivery will be enhanced, benefiting its program beneficiaries. “As a result, DSWD will provide benefits more quickly to intended beneficiaries while preventing fraud and leakages. This also means that DSWD will be better prepared for future responses to crises and natural disasters. At the same time, program beneficiaries will find social assistance services much more accessible with a streamlined process,” the DSWD said.
“As the PhilSys continues to expand its implementation, may this partnership encourage other government agencies and private institutions to work hand-in-hand with the PSA to cater the public with easier access to other various private and public services.”
