The national ID will also be convenient to Filipinos who lack other government-issued as the card itself would be valid and sufficient proof of identity. For Filipinos living abroad, the registration will be done in the nearest Philippines Embassy or Philippine Foreign Service post or any other registration centers that is designated by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). The Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI)  National AI Strategy Roadmap 2.0 is set to serve as the primary vehicle for elevating local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), equipping them with artificial intelligence to optimize daily operations and drive profitability despite limited capital. According to the PNA, MSMEs make up roughly 99% of all business establishments in the Philippines and employ about 65% of the national workforce. Beyond boosting economic output, Tierro emphasized that the state-led rollout plays a vital role in building national digital literacy. By placing accessible AI tools directly into the hands of smaller business owners, the National AI Strategy Roadmap 2.0 helps make the technology more approachable a grassroots level. The Philippines is seen as a viable AI powerhouse due to a huge pool of college-educated individuals, fluency in English, and strengths in the IT-BPM fields. Regulators such as the National Privacy Commission (NPC) have been tasked to ensure that even with widespread adoption of AI, it is still used ethically.
