Senator Grace Poe on Tuesday, April 25, welcomed the decision of the Department of Information and Communications Technology to extend the period for registering Subscriber Identity Module cards for 90 days.Poe, head of the Senate public services committee, explained that SIM Registration was meant to promote the responsible use of SIM and to halt the abuses of scammers and criminals.
As most telcos have been enjoying vast profits from their services, they have the corresponding obligation and the necessary resources to track down their SIM users and to widen the opportunity for registration, she pointed out. "It should be all hands on deck in expanding the reach of SIM Registration and in ensuring that no one gets left behind," she added,
The lady lawmaker said the Department must look into how these syndicates are able to hijack the system and compromise Philippine communications.
