Boracay village kicks off ID system among residents
BORACAY ISLAND– Barangay Manoc-Manoc in this resort island started its own identification (ID) system as one of the community efforts to ensure safety in Boracay.
Manoc Manoc Barangay chairman Abriam Sualog said they must compliment the needed safety standards not only for its residents but also for tourists staying in this resort island.
The Barangay Manoc-Manoc is the largest barangay of Malay town with over 2,000 residents.
"Europe and other countries have already their own ID system. We encouraged residents and foreigners residing here to voluntary register at the barangay council to avail of our Barangay ID system. I assure my constituents that they will be benefited with this system," said Sualog.
The village has a computerized automated system as data base. Part of the process to avail of the ID is to secure a barangay clearance first.
"We only charged P150 those interested to avail of the ID. We are only complying with necessary legal requirements before we could compel residents to avail of it," said Sualog.
The ID is made available not more than 30 minutes after the application is filed. The document contains basic personal information with photograph of the bearer.
The barangay chief said that bearers of ID will be prioritized in the provision of services since they are already identified as bonafide resident of the place.
A resident who stayed in the barangay for a minimum of six months can qet an ID.
