MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine Senator Bato dela Rosa is now proposing to provide free cellphones for all Filipinos who could not afford to buy one. 

This revolutionary plan follows Bato’s earlier idea to make the national ID digital instead of printed copies. (The printing and delivery of national IDs have been delayed for almost three years now).

Speaking with The Adobo Chronicles, Bato said that in addition to solving the problem of delay for the physical national IDs, his free cellphone proposal will also immediately solve the nation’s digital divide, while providing all with ready access to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Candy Crush.
