Bagong batas ukol sa mandatory SIM card registration, pinirmahan na ni Pres. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. BASAHIN:
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Monday signed into law a measure seeking the registration of Subscriber Identity Module, which aims to promote accountability in the use of SIMs.
"We will soon be able to provide law enforcement agencies with the tools needed to resolve crimes perpetrated with the use of these SIM cards, as well as providing a strong deterrence against the commission of wrongdoing," Marcos said. "Crucially as well, included in this crucial piece of legislation are provisions that make paramount the protection of confidentiality and data privacy rights of subscribers, which shall begin to take effect at the point of sale," he added.
The law mandates all public telecommunication entities to submit a verified list of their authorized dealers and agents nationwide to the National Telecommunications Commission and an updated list of the same every quarter of each year. The law also mandates appropriate penalties for failure to register a SIM, for breach of confidentiality, for breach of confidentiality due to negligence, for providing false or fictitious information or for using fictitious identities or fraudulent identification of documents to register a SIM, for spoofing a registered SIM, for sale of stolen SIM, and for sale or transfer of a registered SIM without complying with required registration.
Asked if there is already an estimated number of prepaid users who need to be registered, Uy said he is not privy to it. For his part, Senator Jinggoy Estrada said this landmark legislation is envisioned to deter cybercrime and other electronic communication-aided criminal activities.
