The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) on Friday warned the public against dubious offers of cash assistance for Filipinos with National IDs on social media.
The PSA said such activities are not authorized or organized by the agency.
“We would like to clarify that the PSA does not provide any cash assistance or financial incentives. Registration to the National ID system, which will provide valid proof of identity to Filipinos, is free and does not include monetary compensation or financial assistance,” the statistics agency said.
It also asked the public to refrain from engaging with individuals or groups behind such social media posts and to avoid filling out online forms to apply for the cash assistance offered.
The PSA asked the public to report to the official channels of the National ID.
PSA Undersecretary Claire Dennis Mapa said more than 87 million Filipinos who have registered to the National ID are now capable of accessing their Digital National ID online and be verified through stronger authentication platforms such as the National ID eVerify and National ID Check.
