In NPC PHE Bulletin No. 22 (Processing of Household Vaccination Information by Local Government Units)--

The National Privacy Commission reminds the DILG and all LGUs of their obligations under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA) as personal information controllers (PICs):

1. PICs should not collect any unnecessary personal data from the residents, in keeping with the principle of proportionality. Only those personal data which are relevant to the purpose of having an accurate inventory of unvaccinated residents should be collected, in relation to the recent directives of the government to regulate mobility of unvaccinated persons.
2. These lists of vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, including those who already received booster shots, contain sensitive personal information which shall be processed only for the declared and specified purpose as mentioned above, in line with the response to the public health emergency.
3. These lists shall not be further processed for any incompatible purpose.
4. The DILG and the LGUs shall implement safeguards to protect these lists against accidental, unauthorized, or otherwise unlawful use or access.
5. Submissions of these lists to the authorized recipients identified by the DILG, whether through paper-based or electronic systems, should be done in a secure manner
6. LGUs shall keep records of all submissions/transmittals for reportorial requirements. All involved PICs shall be held accountable for the processing of personal data on these lists.
7. For transparency, the DILG and/or the LGUs should prepare a privacy notice specific to this processing activity which they should provide to the residents during the interview and post on their official websites or social media platforms.
8. Any public official or employee found guilty of a violation of the DPA shall in addition to the imprisonment and fine, suffer an accessory penalty consisting of disqualification to occupy public office for a term double the term of criminal penalty imposed.

TAX ADVISORY: Submission of the copies of BIR Form No. 2316 without the signature of the concerned employee shall still be accepted by the BIR, provided, that the certificates are duly signed by the authorized representative of the employer.
