DILG to LGUs: Help boost SIM card registration info drive
The Department of the Interior and Local Government called on local government units to help the national government in its information campaign on the implementation of Republic Act 11934 or the Subscriber Identity Module Registration Act, which takes effect on Dec. 27.
“As we seek to ensure public safety even in the online space, I encourage LGUs to exert all efforts to promote responsible use of SIM cards, educate their stakeholders on the benefits of mandatory SIM card registration and guide them through the whole registration process,” Abalos said. Section 4 of the law’s implementing rules and regulations released by the National Telecommunications Commission provides that DILG, along with other government agencies such as DICT, NTC, DepEd, and telecom companies, shall “facilitate all SIM registrations in remote areas with limited telecommunication or internet access.”
“We know not everyone has access to the internet and other means of communication so let us reach out to them and inform them of this new law,” he said. Abalos also urged parents and guardians to be responsible and register the SIM used by their minor children or relatives under their name to protect them from ill-intentioned individuals. They will be asked to present an ID and consent form.
