00:00Because of the massive text scams, a group protested against the unauthorized SIM card registration.

00:07It was also investigated in the Senate along with the defamation of those who confiscate SIM cards of those who were raided by POGO.

00:14Maki Polido was the one who pointed it out.

00:16Junk SIM Registro!

00:18Junk! Junk! SIM Registro!

00:20Junk! Junk! SIM Registro!

00:23The office of the National Telecommunications Commission was literally bombed by the group Junk SIM Registration Network.

00:29For them, there is no waste of SIM card registration because the text scams are still rampant.

00:37Ruth's experience is also the same. The method of fraud has just changed.

00:41Unlike before, the names are wrong.

00:43Contact me, I'm the attorney here, you won, congratulations.

00:46Now, only links are coming out.

00:49Senator Joel Villanueva investigated the massive text scam and the thousands of SIM cards confiscated by POGO.

00:59In the middle of the investigation, the links to the scams were sent by scammers based in POGO hubs.

01:05For example, in the raid in Las Pinas City, 80,000 SIM cards were obtained.

01:0928,000 SIM cards were obtained in a POGO hub in Pasay.

01:13And thousands were also obtained in a POGO hub in Bambantarlac.

01:17The co-author of the SIM Registration Act, Senator Wynne Gatchalian,

01:21needs to have a stricter implementation of the law.

01:25All raids have SIM cards.

01:29That's why the NTCs became useless in implementing this.

01:33They also have accountability for this.

01:36According to the National Telecommunications Commission or NTC, the SIM card registration will be stricter.

01:41In the past, they admitted that they did it quickly so that those who are not used to smartphones will not have a hard time.

01:46As a follow-up to the memorandum order of the NTC,

01:49the Telcos are also cleaning the SIM registry and confirming that the IDs obtained by the first SIM registrant are authentic.

01:57It is expected to be completed before the end of the year.

02:00Now, we have mechanisms that are mandated like facial liveliness, live selfie,

02:08optical character recognition, facial recognition and matching.

02:12The Telcos have also adopted artificial intelligence in their system of registration.

02:17According to the NTC, there are many possible sources so the scammers already know the personal information.

02:22But a group called Junk SIM Registration Network was investigated.

02:25It came from private companies and government agencies that are being hacked.

02:29So instead of registering a SIM, the Data Privacy Act should be strictly enforced.

02:35If we strengthen the data privacy awareness of our citizens,

02:41the information security measures, the scammers will not be able to victimize them.

02:48The DICT has been aware of this possibility in the past.

02:51Let's remind them to be careful.

02:53To block the number used in the text scam,

02:56it can be reported to the hotline of the NTC on the agency's website or email to contratextscam.ntc.gov.ph.

03:04For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Polido, for Tutok Tulfo News, thank you.
