Is a national ID necessary?
Yes. Maayo gid kun may national ID kita agud nga indi kita mabudlayan magtransaksyon sa gobyerno basta gamiton lang ini sa insakto. – FRELYN GABASA, 42, pastor, Jesus the Lamb of God Church
Daw indi gid ko in favor sa national ID kay madamo naman na nga scam ang matabo. Pareho daan ang tanan, ang tendency sang iban i-copy kag gamiton sa mga lain nga bagay. – ALMER SENDINILLO, 44, employee, SM Corporation
Yes. I think it’s a good idea. It shows we are proud citizens of our country. I’m sure magamit gid ini for other purposes kag madugangan man ang credentials sa aton and also for OFWs nga nabudlayan sang contact or connections sa government. Kun makabulig man lang na para mapadasig or maka-access sa importante nga mga bagay, I think it’s a good idea nga ma-implement ini. – AUDREY MARIE JUANIZA, 19, student, Pavia National High School
Ga duwa-duwa ko because what if abi madula ang ID, ti wala kana reserba, like kun magkuha ka kwarta, indi mo gid makuha because nadula ang ID. – KC CHAVEZ, 21, student, San Dionisio, Iloilo
For me, it’s a yes. Why? Any kind of valid ID is necessary. Kung meron kang ID kahit saan ka man pumunta makikilala ka. Kaya para sakin mahalaga ang national ID. – MAE SAYSON, 24, housewife, Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo
Yeah, national ID is really necessary. It can help many people access faster and more efficient government service. – KATHLENE GABUEN, 19, student, Iloilo State College of Fisheries
Yes. Kay tungod amo na ang gapamatu-od nga isa ikaw ka Pilipino kag mapuslan mo gid ina bisan diin ikaw magkadto. – QUINNINE SEQUITO, 19, student, West Visayas State University
Nami gid eh para isa na lang ka-process. Budlay man bala magbalik-balik sa ila opisina. Pareho abi sa akon nga regular worker, isa lang ka-leave para tingob. – LERMA SALES, 56, sewer, Mandaue Foam Industries Inc., Pavia, Iloilo
As s student I prefer to have national ID. First, it will serve as our national identity whenever we are outside the country. Second, it will lessen our burden from searching different kinds of IDs, para isa na lang. – MARVIN MONGAO, 20, Journalism Student, West Visayas State University
Para ma-identify ang mga tawo, kay hold na sila sang government. Kag kun madula man at least isa na lang ka-process liwat, indi hassle sa side sang mga busy. – HANNAH PUMARIN, 21, student, Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo
Agree gid ko sa national ID because mahapos na lang ang tanan. Indi na kinahanglan sang tawo nga magbalik-balik sa mga opisina para mag ugtas. Para man ‘ni sa aton tanan, kag para at least sa ID may ara kita sang unity. – DENNIS DECRITO, 20, student, Jaro, Iloilo, City
I guess having a national ID is good because you have access to better delivery of government services. Also, the government cannot infringe on your right to privacy since you are protected under the Constitution. – BRYAN CASAIG, 20, student, West Visayas State University
