ID Cards for Poor Microfice Beneficiaries

PCFC is directed to develop a system of identification cards for poor microfinance beneficiaries.
The identification system aims to facilitate easy and unhampered access to microfinance services provided by PCFC and related government agencies.

All agencies under the executive departments must provide fast and efficient services to poor beneficiaries identified by PCFC.
This directive ensures a coordinated government approach to aid the poor through various services.

Holders of the identification cards will enjoy multiple benefits, subject to compliance with PCFC's minimum requirements:
1. Unrestricted access to PCFC's microfinance programs.
2. Additional benefits such as discounts and concessions arranged by PCFC with other government agencies.
3. Priority access to basic needs and services from government agencies including DSWD, DTI, NAPC, DOH, PNP, and LGUs based on eligibility criteria.
4. Priority in employment opportunities in government projects, provided qualifications are met, including projects by DPWH, DND, DECS, and government-owned or controlled corporations.

PCFC is authorized to issue guidelines for implementing the identification card system.
PCFC will coordinate with the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) and other agencies involved in anti-poverty programs.

All existing executive issuances, orders, rules, or regulations inconsistent with this Administrative Order are revoked, amended, or modified accordingly.

The Administrative Order takes effect immediately upon issuance on February 29, 2000.
