Peña responds to @AttyMaldita's story re: IBP ID: "Ask for BSP cir. 608"
After going viral, the IBP ID anecdote received (serious, funny, funnier or lame) responses from netizens. These include Gideon Peña's reply to @AttyMaldita who originally posted the joke on Twitter. He advised, "You can politely ask for a copy of BSP Circular 608, S. of 2008 which specifically lists the IBP ID as a valid ID. Banks usually have it on file."
Valid IDs include the following:
[1] Passport
[2] Driver’s License
[3] Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) ID
[4]National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Clearance
[5]Police Clearance
[6]Postal ID
