“Dapat yan maging reliable and trustworthy ID para kung yan ang ilalabas mo di ka na masyadong tatanungin at marami pang busisi, some ang delivered, some are self printed, iba iba itsura ng national ID hihina ang tiwala,” Pimentel stated in a radio interview.
(That must be a dependable and reliable ID. So while you use it, there will not be too many questions or an excessive amount of scrutiny. If some are delivered, some are self-printed, and all of the nationwide IDs do not look the identical, it undermines the belief.)
The senator famous that on Tuesday, May 3, he had sought a Senate Blue Ribbon Committee investigation into the “long-delayed” issuance of the nationwide IDs.
“Kaya ko na-file yan kasi nga matagal nang reklamo ang delayed, ‘di lang sa delayed maraming umaabot sa akin merong maling information, smudging, nabubura ang tinta, ‘di klaro ang litrato, di tinatanggap ng financial institution, walang signature. May balita pa na print your own. Ibibigay ang file ikaw ang magprint,” he stated.
(I filed that as a result of there have been quite a few complaints concerning the delay. And not simply the delay. I’ve been advised that a number of the info is improper, there’s smudging, the print may be erased, the image is blurry, monetary establishments do not settle for them, and there isn’t any signature. There are rumors you may print your ID. The file is given and also you print it.)
“Bakit tayo nauwi sa ganyan ang budget P15-20 billion kaya gusto kong malaman ano ang ending nyan. More than P20 billion yan and yet ito ang naririnig nating feedback, i-hearing sa blue ribbon kung walang criminal negligence so be it. Pero ang pakiramdam natin marami nang problema baka meron nang criminal negligence,” he careworn.
(Why did this occur? There’s a P15-P20 billion finances for this. That’s why I wish to know the way all this will probably be resolved. It’s greater than P20 billion, and but that is the suggestions. There must be a Blue Ribbon listening to. If there isn’t any felony negligence, so be it. But I’ve a sense there are plenty of issues, possibly there’s felony negligence.)
Pimentel stated the Senate had invited the Commission on Audit. They would additionally evaluate the COA findings over time to see the principle drawback behind this matter.
“Because ‘yung delivery 40% ‘yun ang delivery, ‘yung delivered, reklamo ang natanggap. Sana i-welcome ng agencies involved like PSA, BSP, NEDA yung mother agency sila ang supervisor sana iwelcome nila ang hearing para mapaliwanag na nila once and for all, ‘di sa budget hearing kundi focused lang,” he added.
(Because 40% of the IDs have been delivered. The complaints have been about receiving them. I hope the businesses concerned, just like the PSA, BSP, and NEDA are the mom businesses, the supervisors. I hope they welcome the listening to to allow them to clarify, as soon as and for all. Not throughout finances hearings, however throughout a targeted listening to.)
