The STAR, File MANILA, Philippines — Department of Information and Communications Technology Secretary Ivan John Uy said an online registration of SIM cards will be the more ideal option, but individuals may be required to physically register if they encounter problems with the verification of their IDs. “For example, you submitted a picture of your passport online upon registration. But when this is cross-checked with the Department of Foreign Affairs and they cannot verify your passport information, you may receive a text or notification from your telco app and you will be asked to present your ID in person,” Uy said in Filipino at Laging Handa briefing on Thursday. He added that their next goal is to link the registration to the national ID. President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Monday signed into law the measure requiring SIM Card users to register their personal data with telecommunications firms despite concerns that it would put subscribers’ privacy at risk.
