#philippines bank account

Senator Win Gatchalian is planning to file a bill called 'One Filipino, One Bank Account' which mandates the government to provide every Filipino with a bank account. If the government needs to send financial aid, it can just remit it directly to the recipient's bank account. May isang batas akong gustong i-file na may kaugnayan sa national ID, ang tawag ko dito ay "One Filipino, One Bank Account." Dapat mandatory na bigyan ng pamahalaan ang lahat ng mga naninirahan dito ng bank account. "Kapag ganitong may pandemya, remit na lang nang remit sa bank account at doon tatanggap ng ayuda, bahala ka na kung paano mo gagamitin ang ayuda na 'yun," he added. Gatchalian, who is also one of the Vice Chairpersons on the Senate Committee on Banks, Financial Institutions and Currencies, said owning a bank account should be considered a basic requirement among Filipinos, regardless of the individual's socio-economic class. Latest records from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), meanwhile, showed that 82% of the 10.5 million initial registrants to the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys), or the national ID system, indicated that they do not have bank accounts.
