House of Representatives employees can now use their newly released House identification cards (ID) to make purchases or payments for their utilities or make other transactions.
The House of Representatives, under the leadership of Speaker Lord Allan Velasco, recently launched its PayMaya ID.
The new House official ID contains a QR code, as well as other data and financial components, making the House of Representatives access card a “super ID.”
“One of the visions of Velasco is to transform the House into an institution that is up with the times.”
In her statement, Deputy Secretary General (DSG) for the Office of the Speaker Atty. Jocelia Bighani Sipin said that when they assumed the speakership, one of the visions of Velasco was to transform the House into an institution that is up with the times.
“And especially with technology, with the pandemic, we have had a lot of cashless transactions,” Sipin stressed.
“The House ID,” she said, “is an initiative of the Speaker.”
Sipin described the House access card not only as “bukod sa maganda” but functional as well.
She thanked PayMaya for partnering with the House, saying “we look forward to a productive relationship with PayMaya”.
Meanwhile, PayMaya Senior Enterprise Manager Tisha Quinitio encouraged everyone to activate the financial components of the House ID.
“All you need to do is download the PayMaya application, link your ID once, then you can use the ID for payment and purchase.”
“All you need to do is download the PayMaya application, link your ID once, then you can use the ID for payment and purchase,” Quinitio explained.

Arlene Dada-Arnaldo, Internal Audit Department (IAD) DSG Jose Ma. Antonio Tuaño, Office of the Speaker Executive Director Atty. Roentgen Bronce and ICTS Director II Julius Exequel Gorospe.
