Private firm Stradcom, the contractor for the Radio Frequency ID (RFID) system, on Thursday defended its project with the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
The LTO is eyeing the implementation of the RFID system by October 1.
But the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) and at least two lawmakers have raised questions about the system.
Stradcom Vice President for Media and Public Relations Vince Dizon said the technology is misunderstood.
In an interview on ANC's Top Story, Dizon explained the RFID cannot be used for surveillance or tracking.
"This is the biggest piece of misinformation. We cannot track vehicles. It has no GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) ability. The idea is simply a way to identify the vehicle and make that identification permanent and tamper-proof. The maximum range is only 10 meters, beyond 10 meters, hindi na iyon mababasa (Beyond 10 meters, it can no longer be read)," Dizon said.
CHR chair Leilia de Lima said on Thursday any system that could be used for tracking without a legal basis is a violation of human rights.
Stradcom also denies any overpricing in the deal.
Once implemented, the RFID system requires a P350 fee.
But House Transportation Committee member Congressman Rodolfo Plaza and Bayan Muna Congressman Teddy Casiño have both said RFIDs can cost as low as P10.
Dizon, however, explained that while other RFIDs cost less, the microchip that will be used will be suited to LTO needs.
He said: "It is a very specialized and very specifically configured tag to suit the requirements of the LTO."
The tag will include, among others, the vehicle's engine and plate numbers, the owner's name, the last registration date, as well as the vehicle's make, series and year model.
Dizon added the system could also be used to help authorities recover stolen vehicles and identify public utility vehicles plying their routes without a valid franchise permit.
The NTC, however, said Stradcom has yet to secure import and other permits that will allow the installation of the devices.
Stradcom's Dizon also said the project has been in the works since September 2007, denying allegations that it was a "midnight deal."
The LTO, on the other hand, said the implementation of the RFID system is in accordance with an order from the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC).
LTO Chief and DOTC Assistant Secretary Arturo Lomibao also said several transport leaders have endorsed the system.
"Sa Cebu mismo nagkaroon ng endorsement of more than 40 transport leaders coming from the Visayas and Mindanao. Pwede natin i-expand ang consultations," Lomibao also told ANC on Thursday.
But with what seems to be mounting pressure for further consultations on the system, the LTO now says the project could be delayed upon the order of Malacañang or the DOTC. By Karen Reyes-Caringal, ABS-CBN News Channel
kalokohan iyan.ang gawin nyo pagbutihin ninyo kapulisan sa cremi
hindi mga ganyan na gadget na illegal na maipanghihimasukan pati yung hindi nararapat. pagbutihin nyo nalang peace and order ng kapulisan humanap kayo ng mas legal at epectibo wag yung mga ganyan na track track na pati yung hindi nararapat masasama. maraming paraan at madali wag yang mga ganyan na bagay na pede magamit sa pagabusado.
hindi kami sangayon sa mga ganyang panukala kalokohan lang iyan. kagaguhan lang iyan.bobo at gago lang magiisip na okay iyan na systema
This project is Great!
Of course the title is sarcastic. The technology used by the RFID project is, i think, being used already here way back. Like in bookstores, these are the stickers located, commonly, at the back of the book to prevent shop lifting. Any 100 Peso book have these, so are they selling this for 350? hmm? That's not even close to reasonable. Correct me if I'm wrong please. :) If ever I'll be the head of this project, I will be richer than Kris Aquino after this.

with this technology
and LTO's incompetence and red tape-riddled system, i truly doubt if this'll work indeed.
another highway robbery in the making, courtesy of our dear fellows in the government.

RFID stupidity
I am using rfid technology in tagging laboratory animals in Canada. All the benefits that Lomibao and Dizon are saying are just inventions for them to sell a worthless, expensive technology for vehicle applications. It is another example of ignorant peoples expectations that technology will solve their problems. If the LTO and the Police do their jobs properly, they wont need to spend such a large amount. We already register drivers and vehicles. Vehicles have license plates. Drivers have licenses when operating a vehicle. All they need to do is make sure that violators are caught and swift justice sparing no one is implemented. The Philippines is too small to implement such a technology which is designed for large scale tracking.

http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-blockkill-RFID-chips/
RFID cars can be stolen. Thieves use a number of ways to break open into a RFID car. They could disable RFID reader by removing a fuse, steal RFID enabled blanket from the dealership, find out the spare RFID key in the manual in the glove box or probably use a semi secret sequence of pulls on the emergency brakes. The biggest problem encountered is when insurance companies fail to acknowledge that RFID cars could be stolen and refuse to compensate for it.
