00:00 The SIM card registration of the person who was able to get in and register the picture of a matching was tested.
00:07 Daniel Manalastang has the story.
00:09 There is a saying that a matching is smart enough to be used alone.
00:15 But when the Senate Committee on Public Services heard it,
00:18 only two telecommunications companies were able to use the picture of a matching used in a SIM card registration.
00:27 The picture on the left, your honor, is a monkey.
00:32 It's a good thing that he smiled. If not, he might not have been given the SIM card.
00:38 If you're with the telcos and you see this application form of that monkey smiling at you,
00:43 what the heck are you doing?
00:46 I mean, it's common sense that this should not be given.
00:53 The NBI Cybercrime Division tried to register the person using the face of a monkey.
01:03 And it was registered.
01:05 Some telco companies explain that sometimes there are technical glitches and they request...
01:11 Another request we have is if the National ID System is fully implemented,
01:18 it will be easier because there is biometrics.
01:20 So that's the only way to stop it.
01:23 You think your system is working?
01:25 It is working.
01:26 It is working with that kind of application?
01:29 Your solution is to pass National ID and it be implemented fully?
01:35 That's actually the best practice.
01:38 You don't admit that you have a terrible system.
01:42 I mean, you can see monkey smiling at you.
01:45 According to Senator Grace, there are some telcos that allow facial recognition.
01:51 But there are two telcos that refused to follow this.
01:53 So they should pass the implementing rules and regulations.
01:58 Some telcos also believe that if there is a more secure system, they will be more helpful.
02:04 According to the National Telecommunications Commission,
02:06 more than 45,000 have received complaints from tech scams.
02:12 They say that some registered SIMs but used fraudulent or pecking ID.
02:17 NTC believes that the SIM registration is a good law.
02:20 It actually eliminated an easy way for people to scam or defraud people.
02:26 But as the government is trying to protect its consumers,
02:31 the criminals are also updating their means and ways to commit a crime.
02:36 According to the NBI,
02:37 the sale of SIM cards on Facebook is also a threat to them.
02:42 In our cases, we have caught someone who sells 2,000 to 3,000 SIM cards.
02:49 And then he earns 40 to 50 pesos per SIM card.
02:54 So if your life is hard, definitely they will steal it.
03:01 Daniel Manalastas for the nation.
