PARENTS and guardians can now register their children aged zero to four years old through the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys).Edwina Carriaga, chief administrative officer of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) 7, emphasized that including children under five years old in the PhilSys registration demonstrates the government’s commitment to inclusivity, ensuring every Filipino is included in the national database regardless of age.Carriaga told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, March 13, 2024, that children are eligible to receive either the physical national ID cards (PhilID) or the electronic copy (ePhilID) of the ID.EPhilID is a proactive strategy of the PSA that allows more Filipinos to immediately enjoy the benefits of PhilSys registration even without receiving the physical card.“Indeed, the intention is that despite how young they are, they will have proof of identity. So, we will release the ID to them,” she said.Carriaga said this initiative aims to streamline access to various government services and benefits while enhancing the efficiency of public administration.In August 2018, former president Rodrigo Duterte signed into law Republic Act 11055, or the Philippine Identification System Act, establishing the national ID as the primary identification platform for all Filipino citizens, resident aliens, and foreigners who have resided in the Philippines for at least a year.However, Carriaga noted that it was only earlier this month when the PSA central office approved the registration of children aged below five years old.She added that the registration for alien residents or foreigners who have resided in the Philippines for at least a year has not yet started.Carriaga said the only required documents for PhilSys registration for registrants aged below five are a birth certificate from either the PSA or the local civil registrar and the presence of the guardian with their PhilID or ePhilID card.During the registration process, both parents or guardians of the child are required to have PhilSys registration, including a PhilSys Card Number, to ensure the smooth integration of the child’s data with theirs, she said.Carriaga clarified that if a parent is unavailable, guardians must present additional documents, such as an authorization letter. Other documents may include a death certificate if both parents are deceased and an agency ID if the child is under the care of an institution.Carriaga said parents only need to provide demographic information and a front-facing photo of the children.However, she noted that upon reaching the age of five, they must return to the registration center to provide their biometric data, including iris and fingerprint scanning.Carriaga said the same existing PhilSys registration centers in different areas, including various malls and government centers, may process the registration request for children five years old and below.She said this includes the PSA 7 office at the Gaisano Capital Mall building on Colon St. in Cebu City.Meanwhile, the region’s PhilSys registration tally stood at 6,521,136 as of Dec. 31, 2023, based on data from PSA 7 director Ariel Florendo, representing 91 percent of the target of 7.2 million registrations for the previous year.The data, released last Wednesday, revealed the distribution of registrations across the region. Cebu leads with 4,140,045 registrations, followed by Negros Oriental with 1,150,746, Bohol with 1,139,677 and Siquijor with 90,668 registrations.Additionally, Carriaga said at least 4,343,723 PhilIDs have been issued in Central Visayas, accounting for 66 percent of the total registered individuals in the region, with some 2,243,106 ePhilIDs issued. / KJF The Top 10 Online Sportsbook Philippines THE business community in Cebu has committed to help Cebu City in the hosting of the Palarong Pambansa 2024 come July through the offering of discounts and tourism packages for the athletes and their families.This was disclosed by Cebu City Sports Commissioner John Pages following their meeting with business leaders on Monday, March 18.Among those who joined the meeting were Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) president Jay Yuvallos, Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) executive director Marlene Bedia, Cebu Business Months chairman for digital transformation Anthony Noel, and Mactan-Cebu International Airport head of customer experience and international terminal operations Ricia Montejo.The Palarong Pambansa will take place on July 9 to 16.The athletes are expected to start arriving on June 30.In a message to SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, March 20, Pages said the business community will help by offering special discounts and rates, creating activities for the athletes and other guests, developing pasalubong (homecoming gift) areas, offering city tour packages, and providing transportation rental discounts.

Top Blackjack Casino THE Supreme Court (SC) has found former anti-insurgency task force spokesperson Lorraine Badoy guilty of indirect contempt following the online attacks she launched against a Manila judge.In a decision penned by Senior Associate Justice Marvic Leonen, Badoy was ordered to pay a fine of P30,000 and was warned that a repetition of the same or similar acts in the future shall merit a more severe sanction.Badoy, through her Facebook page with over 166,000 followers, accused Regional Trial Court of Manila, Branch 19 Judge Marlo A. Magdoza-Malagar of being a member of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (NPA) after issuing a resolution dismissing the petition of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to proscribe the organization as a terrorist group under the Human Security Act.She also uploaded a post threatening to kill Magdoza-Malagar and to bomb his offices.Badoy also tagged him as “unprincipled and rotten.”Her posts were supported by her followers who even offered her their assistance.This has prompted a group of lawyers to file a petition against Badoy for indirect contempt.In the decision, the court noted the need to balance the exercise of free speech and the protection of judicial independence.“One’s right to freedom of expression must be as fully protected as possible; however, its exercise must never transgress the equally important aspects of democracy, not least of all the Judiciary’s dignity and authority,” held the Court.Direct contempt is committed when one engages in “misbehavior in the presence of or so near a court as to obstruct or interrupt the proceedings,” while indirect contempt involves actions that are committed not within the presence of the court, including improper conduct tending, directly or indirectly, to impede, obstruct, or degrade the administration of justice.The SC also noted that Badoy’s criticisms were not made in good faith or without malice. “She did not act with an honest sense of duty or with an interest in the pure and efficient administration of justice and public affairs. Instead, she was impelled by a self-seeking motive, which was to stir discontent among her audience, as evidenced by her use of violent and abrasive language in hurling accusations at Judge Magdoza-Malagar,” it said.“Second, Badoy’s comments were not a fair and true reporting of a proceeding. On the contrary, Badoy imputed serious allegations against Judge Magdoza-Malagar and the Judiciary without any factual basis, said the Court. Her posts and even the pleadings she filed before the Court do not indicate that she possesses evidence to support her scandalous statements,” it added.It said Badoy’s claims cast doubt on the legitimacy of Magdoza-Malagar’s decision, which resulted for the public to prejudge the case.It said it is nothing but an act of intimidation to influence the resolution of a pending case.The court also cautioned online personalities and influencers, underscoring that unregulated speech online and the spread of fake news pose real consequences in the real world.“To maintain their popularity, online personalities tend to publish a steady stream of shocking or attention-grabbing content to take advantage of their audience’s negativity bias, that is, the natural human tendency to latch on to something bad rather than good. In a bid to ensure that their posts would become viral, they would make statements that produce heightened negative emotions, chasing after the dopamine rush brought about by the substantial increase in their followers and likes. The result is a proliferation of posts made to further their personal gain and popularity, without regard for the public good,” said the court.“Online personalities thus have a duty to verify the truthfulness of the content they put out on the internet. It behooves them to validate the source of news through fact-checking and even through source-checking, lest they unwittingly disseminate fake news and even cause real-world harm,” it added.Badoy was earlier cited in contempt at the House of Representatives for acting in a disrespectful manner and for refusing to answer relevant questions during an inquiry against Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) to which they served as program hosts.In one of their episodes, Badoy and her co-host Jeffrey Celiz took a swipe at House Speaker Martin Romualdez for spending P1.8 billion for his travels.The claim was denied by Romualdez.Celis later admitted that such information was unverified.

Magdoza-Malagar of being a member of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (NPA) after issuing a resolution dismissing the petition of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to proscribe the organization as a terrorist group under the Human Security Act.She also uploaded a post threatening to kill Magdoza-Malagar and to bomb his offices.Badoy also tagged him as “unprincipled and rotten.”Her posts were supported by her followers who even offered her their assistance.This has prompted a group of lawyers to file a petition against Badoy for indirect contempt.In the decision, the court noted the need to balance the exercise of free speech and the protection of judicial independence.“One’s right to freedom of expression must be as fully protected as possible; however, its exercise must never transgress the equally important aspects of democracy, not least of all the Judiciary’s dignity and authority,” held the Court.Direct contempt is committed when one engages in “misbehavior in the presence of or so near a court as to obstruct or interrupt the proceedings,” while indirect contempt involves actions that are committed not within the presence of the court, including improper conduct tending, directly or indirectly, to impede, obstruct, or degrade the administration of justice.The SC also noted that Badoy’s criticisms were not made in good faith or without malice. “She did not act with an honest sense of duty or with an interest in the pure and efficient administration of justice and public affairs. Instead, she was impelled by a self-seeking motive, which was to stir discontent among her audience, as evidenced by her use of violent and abrasive language in hurling accusations at Judge Magdoza-Malagar,” it said.“Second, Badoy’s comments were not a fair and true reporting of a proceeding. On the contrary, Badoy imputed serious allegations against Judge Magdoza-Malagar and the Judiciary without any factual basis, said the Court. Her posts and even the pleadings she filed before the Court do not indicate that she possesses evidence to support her scandalous statements,” it added.It said Badoy’s claims cast doubt on the legitimacy of Magdoza-Malagar’s decision, which resulted for the public to prejudge the case.It said it is nothing but an act of intimidation to influence the resolution of a pending case.The court also cautioned online personalities and influencers, underscoring that unregulated speech online and the spread of fake news pose real consequences in the real world.“To maintain their popularity, online personalities tend to publish a steady stream of shocking or attention-grabbing content to take advantage of their audience’s negativity bias, that is, the natural human tendency to latch on to something bad rather than good. In a bid to ensure that their posts would become viral, they would make statements that produce heightened negative emotions, chasing after the dopamine rush brought about by the substantial increase in their followers and likes. The result is a proliferation of posts made to further their personal gain and popularity, without regard for the public good,” said the court.“Online personalities thus have a duty to verify the truthfulness of the content they put out on the internet. It behooves them to validate the source of news through fact-checking and even through source-checking, lest they unwittingly disseminate fake news and even cause real-world harm,” it added.Badoy was earlier cited in contempt at the House of Representatives for acting in a disrespectful manner and for refusing to answer relevant questions during an inquiry against Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) to which they served as program hosts.In one of their episodes, Badoy and her co-host Jeffrey Celiz took a swipe at House Speaker Martin Romualdez for spending P1.8 billion for his travels.The claim was denied by Romualdez.Celis later admitted that such information was unverified.
