While we await the full implementation of the National ID system (click here to learn how to get one), one of the most useful government identification cards to have is the Unified Multipurpose ID or UMID.

What is UMID?
The UMID integrates in one card your lifetime membership for SSS (Social Security System), GSIS (Government Service Insurance System), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation or Philhealth, and the Home Development Mutual Fund or Pag-IBIG Fund.

This single identification card may be used to facilitate transactions in any government agency, bank, and places that require a valid ID. It has a wireless chip embedded in the card so you can also use it to withdraw SSS and GSIS benefits via ATM. 카지노사이트
