According to the Philippine News Agency, the Philippine Statistics Authority in Negros Oriental (PSA-Negros Oriental), began piloting its civil registration services (CRS) app to authenticate national IDs with biometrics.
As an added security measure for the ID card program, the app is designed to determine whether IDs are valid. It can authenticate physical cards and ePhilIDs. Kiosks might be installed for ID authentication using QR codes, for instance, said Fortuito.
