Mercado: Will anonymity, mobility be curbed by ID card?
LIKE the proposed divorce law, the proposal for a national ID card system will bog down in endless controversy.I am disinclined against it because it will affect filial relations and domestic travel.Family gatherings and traditional reunions will not be complete with the understandable absence of distant relatives who are in underground movement. Unless one is privy to the membership of your "kamag-anak" in various kilusan groups, it will be difficult to distinguish one cousin who is an NPA from another who is an RHB and other germane kin who are either in the bastardized HMB or RGA without their ID cards.

Senate advances bill to require photo ID at polls
Voters would be required to show a driver's license or other government-issued photo identification at polling places under a bill passed Monday by the state Senate.Democrats said the requirement could discourage some people from voting, but Republicans said it would give voters confidence. The Senate voted 31-17 along party lines to advance the bill, which will now move to the House for consideration.Requiring voters to show a driver's license, federal photo ID or passport would prevent people from coming into the same polling place and voting more than once under different names, said Sen. Victor Heinold, R-Valparaiso. That would give voters more faith in elections, Republicans said.
