- Unified Multi-Purpose ID
-
The Unified Multi-Purpose ID is a Philippine identity card which has been introduced in 2010[citation needed]. The card was developed as a single card for the relations between several government-related agencies. The agency responsible for implementation is the Social Security System (SSS), and also Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) and the Home Mutual Development Fund use the card[1]. The card is also suggested to be used as voter's ID[2].
