He explained what PhilSys is all about and the three (3) steps of the registration. Mr. Aveño also mentioned the Issuance of Printable ePhilIDs. He introduced how Printable ePhilID works and how it looked like. In the integration plan, a part of it is to authenticate PhilIDs and ePhilIDs. PFP Aveño then discussed the PhilSys Check and presented an AVP about it. He demonstrated to the participants how the PhilSys Check works. He also discussed the benefits of PhilSys and how the PhilSys is compliant to the Data Privacy Act. He also enumerated the roles of LGU in the implementation of PhilSys.
