Discaya proposes One ID System for faster services in Pasig

Pasig City mayoral candidate Sarah Discaya on Thursday said she will introduce a standalone One ID system to make easier the process of providing assistance to qualified residents.

This initiative will speed up access to support services, including financial assistance, free medical check-ups, and other benefits and services provided by the local government.

"Habang papasok tayo sa taong 2025, aktibong binabago natin ang Pasig upang maging isang lungsod na inuuna ang pagiging episyente, mabilis, at moderno. Tinitiyak namin na walang Pasigueño ang mahihirapan sa pagkuha ng mahahalagang serbisyo,” Discaya said in a statement.

As a front-runner candidate for mayor of Pasig City, Discaya said that the One ID system will accelerate modernization and remove bureaucratic obstacles in the delivery of services and assistance to ensure that residents will receive fair and effective support.

Called as "Pasigueño Pamilya Tayo with Pasig I.D. Card," this is part of Discaya's vision for a modern and Smart City by the first part of 2025.

“Nakatuon kami sa paghubog ng hinaharap ng Pasig—isang lungsod na inuuna ang pagiging episyente, mabilis, at moderno. Layunin naming alisin ang mga hadlang na nararanasan ng bawat Pasigueño sa pagkuha ng mahahalagang serbisyo,” Discaya said.

“Sa pamamagitan ng makabagong teknolohiya, ang programang ito ay magpapadali sa proseso ng pagbibigay ng tulong at suporta, upang ito ay maging mas epektibo at patas para sa lahat. Kaya naman, ikinagagalak naming ipakilala ang Pasig ID, na magsisilbing susi sa mas mabilis at sistematikong serbisyo at tulong,” the 48-year-old businesswoman and philanthropist added.

Discaya explained that the introduction of One ID system in the City of Pasig will serve as a model for the national government to fully implement this across the country, which will help speed up and improve transactions in both public and private sectors.

Through modernization, the distribution of support and assistance will become more easier in a faster and fairer manner.

“Kabilang sa mga benepisyong hatid ng Pasig ID ay ang mas mabilis at organisadong pamamahagi ng ayuda at suportang pinansyal, gayundin ang pagbibigay ng tulong tulad ng pang-holiday na regalo, gamit pang-eskwela, food packages, at iba pang benepisyo,” Discaya said.

It will also improve health services, because by simple scanning of the ID, residents will immediately get a free check-up, medicines, and other medical supports.

Discaya also said that the long lines to get the service will disappear.

“Ngayon, ang proseso ay mas madali at episyente. Ang serbisyo ay direkta, mabilis, at walang abala," she added.
