IF FULLY implemented, the national identification system will be an effective deterrent to the rising issue of falsified subscribers identity
ACT-CIS Party-list Rep. Erwin Tulfo, a prominent media personality himself, offered this view in response to concerns raised by some stakeholders, particularly legislators and law enforcers, regarding the misuse of SIM cards for illegal online activities, including cybercrimes and fraudulent transactions.
Such concerns arise from the alarming frequency at which fake identification cards reportedly find their way into the SIM registration process carried out by telecom companies across the country in compliance with Republic Act 11055. “The issuance of national ID cards to Filipino citizens and resident aliens, as mandated by law, will give the service providers an easy access to government database for the truthful profile of bona fide holders who apply for SIM registration,” explained Tulfo, a House deputy majority leader.
“A single ID system, encompassing all Filipinos, is the key to ensuring the integrity of the SIM registration,” he stressed.
