THE House of Representatives has approved in third and final reading the bill seeking the registration of mobile SIM cards.The measure orders public telecommunications entities or direct sellers to require the end user of a SIM card to present a valid ID with photo as proof of identity, as well as to accomplish a control-numbered registration form that contains the subscriber’s personal information.
“Crimes are not just perpetuated by using a SIM card. What we would like to concentrate on is crimes involving SIM cards. As to the question of the crime rate of those countries, it would not reflect on the law’s effectiveness," Tiangco said earlier. Tiangco said the bill had a confidentiality clause amid concerns on data breaches and identity theft once the measure is passed.Senate Bill 1310 was sponsored by Senate Public Services Committee chairperson Grace Poe.
