PAOCC says system takes fake IDs; Senators say just enforce the law The online registration of SIM (subscriber identity module)
The online registration of SIM cards should be temporarily stopped as the system accepts fake identities and information, the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission said on Friday.
PAOCC executive director Undersecretary Gilbert Cruz told GMA News they found and confiscated a piece of equipment that can register up to 64 SIM cards at the same time. He said this equipment is for sale even online. On Thursday, PAOCC demonstrated to the press how SIM cards may be registered using anime names and photos as well as made-up addresses.
He also suggested that the SIM registration be integrated into the National ID system to make the verification simpler and more reliable.
