Duterte vetoes SIM Card Registration bill

Mm…I never understood why Duterte vetoed a similar bill passed by the previous Congress. SIM registration is normal in most countries. It will deter SIM-based scams.

 

Philsys ID nga 70millions registered but no delivery, if 1 million ID a year, it will take 70 years to deliver,
how can a Filipino get a Sim card? when they die? its easier to apply and get a death certificate than getting an ID daw.

 

They should have done onsite printing for the Philsys ID.

 

I had National ID application/biometrics done last November. Still no ID up to now. Sigh.

 

Mm…according to Philpost, they ve delivered 14 million IDs with only 800,000 left to deliver. As for the rest, BSP is still way swamped with their printing problems. It will take years to provide a solution to govt incompetence.

Mm…tens of millions of active prepaid sim cards…..how will they (telcos) manage the flow of registration with so few branches? U can just imagine the RUSH to register. How long will it take to process a single registrant? 5 to 10 minutes? Multiply that with tens of millions? Good luck with that.

I ll dump my prepaid sim and buy a new one if it is easier to register at the point of sale (sari sari store etc.) rather than register my present sim card with the telco to avoid the hassle.

 

I think telcos will add sim registration to their apps (gigalife, dito app, globeone).

 

Filipinos has no Philsys ID in sight, what will they use to register? Cedula?
transferring ownership needs Deed of Sale?

 

Mm..lol! My 2 kasambahays only have barangay ID. I ll have then apply for postal ID just in case it is needed. But first, they need to get birth certificates through online.

 

it will take awhile to implement this. wala pang IRR. how long before MNP started implementation?

 

For someone who's oversees apps that's affected by regulatory changes, i think the telcos should be able to share the conduct of registration once ready. The news offers some insights about the timeline and a high-level perspective on the government recommendations to handle the registration process to hasten the high volume of registrants.
