For example....reelecting a Marcos or an Estrada?

In a country where people can already have a postal ID, voters ID, Philhealth ID, School ID, all of which are issued by government owned/run institutions, I would expect that any sort of "national ID" is not replacing any of these and will be just another (non-enforced) ploy to make poor people pay silly amounts of money and spend hours/days in queues. They would probably task yet another new agency that needs thousands of unnecessary staff and hundreds of offices with issuing such ID's and they'll probably be easy to counterfit anyway.
So no, not a good idea, not for muslims, not for anyone.
As long as there's no registration locally/nationally of who lives where, as long as many people don't even have a proper address, as long as paper records are preferred everywhere over databases that can be shared between government agencies, then all "solutions" to get a grip on a problem regarding identity and movement of people with an ID card is bound to fail.

Nothing new needed. SSS should handle it.

The UK rejected an ID card system due to cost - but then, the UK is broke.

Japan added one more--the "my number". Makes me think of an inmates number

Mistake: that remark assumes that logic and efficiency dictates the choices the government makes, while we all experience on a daily basis that it's "more fun in the Philippines"

Reading some of the 'News' on Rappler I am very surprised that they are not also in the Fake News Link I posted in another thread...
