The SIM Registration Act is the first law signed by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. READ:
“We await an IRR that will embody the spirit of the law to provide the people a defense in fighting text scams and misinformation,” Poe said.
She noted the rules will get the ball rolling to provide secure and safe mobile phone use in the country while protecting the right to privacy.ADVERTISEMENT The landmark legislation requires all mobile users to register their SIM as a prerequisite for activation. All existing SIM holders must register with their respective telcos within 180 days from the law’s effectivity. The DICT may extend the registration for 120 days.
In remote areas with limited telecommunication or internet access, relevant government agencies and telcos will facilitate SIM registration.Earlier, the group CitizenWatch Philippines expressed hope that agencies involved in crafting the IRR will adhere to a transparent process and inclusive consultation.
