Three individuals were arrested in Makati City’s Barangay Poblacion for selling SIM cards that are already registered, in violation of Republic Act No. 11934 or the SIM Card Registration Act. | GabrielLaluINQ
R.A. No. 11934 was signed by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. last October 2022, with the goal of cracking down on phishing scams and other crimes perpetrated through text messages.
Under the law, existing phone users would need to register their SIM Cards while new buyers would need to present documents for identification. This is to ensure that someone would be held accountable for text messages or calls sent incognito or anonymously.But if pre-registered SIM cards are being sold, this would defeat the purpose of the law as authorities would not be able to correctly track users in the event of a crime where the pre-registered SIM card was used.
SPD said complaints for violating R.A. No. 11934 and R.A. No. 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 will be filed before the Office of the City Prosecutor in Makati against Basilio and Colinares. Santiago meanwhile would face charges for violation of Presidential Decree No. 1829 and Article 155 of the Revised Penal Code .Your subscription could not be saved. Please try again.
