00:00The number of text scams went down following the declaration of POGO ban, according to the DICT.

00:11It was proposed by Joseph Morong in Barangay Saksi Online.

00:17If your phones are silent and you don't receive too many text scams,

00:22that's because of the ban and campaign against POGO, according to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, or PAOC.

00:29Since the President was elected, we received a lot of text scams.

00:35The Department of Information and Communications Technology, or DICT, also received a lot of text scams.

00:40When there was an order from the President for the immediate closure of the POGOs,

00:46the number of consumer complaints was also high.

00:50Our phones were silent for the scam promos and other types of scams.

00:58We asked if they are looking at the experience of online users.

01:02One person said that before, there were texts everyday, but now there are none.

01:06Another person said that there are no more updates that she won P100,000 with a link to register.

01:13Another netizen said that the texts were stopped, but there are still people calling even though the number is blocked.

01:19I still receive text messages.

01:22For example, I won P100,000 and I need to click on a link to claim.

01:30Online scams are still the same.

01:33Since the POGO ban, I have not received any text scams.

01:37It's not like before, but I still receive texts.

01:42In PAOC raids and POGO hubs, thousands of SIM cards were confiscated.

01:48Last June, in a POGO raid in Las Pinas, more than 600,000 unregistered SIM cards were confiscated.

01:56According to PAOC, POGO hubs are the source of SIM cards used in text scams.

02:01Here, SIM cards are bought by those behind the scenes of harassment, for example, by online loan sharks.

02:08They know that the POGOs are closing, so they are the source of SIM cards, pre-registered SIM cards.

02:14They are the ones with the machines.

02:16That registers the SIM?

02:18Yeah, that registers the SIM that has fake identities.

02:23If it's sold to you, it's already registered.

02:27Each SIM is worth P500,000.

02:32That has fake identities.

02:34It's even legal for POGOs to get SIMs.

02:39Even the blank ones, the deactivated ones, they already have numbers, but they're not registered yet.

02:46In our legal telcos, they sell a lot of them.

02:55As to the registration, of course, they don't monitor it anymore.

02:58Under Republic Act No. 11934 or SIM Card Registration Act,

03:03the end user should register a numerous SIM card.

03:07This is what the POGOs see in the law.

03:10There is no guarantee that the person registered is a real person.

03:14According to DICT, they will audit the process of registering telecommunications companies with SIM cards

03:22to find out if it's effective to avoid pecking registration.

03:27Yesterday, a decree was issued by DICT Secretary Ivan Jan Uy

03:32to form a SIM Card Registration Annual Audit Task Force.

03:36Some of the tasks that Uy is asking to do in the task force

03:39is to verify if the registered subscribers from the National ID System are real.

03:46According to Globe Telecom, their SIMs are still being deactivated until it's registered and verified.

03:53After successful verification, their SIMs will be used.

03:58They will follow the audit that DICT will conduct because it's included in the law.

04:03DITO Telecommunity is also in favor of audits that can help Filipinos.

04:08They have their own app that has more than 19,000 pecking accounts

04:13and they already have 14 million successful registrants.

04:16According to SMART, they assure that they are scanning the scam messages

04:21and they are continuously validating their SIM registration.

04:24They are also enforcing the following regulations

04:27in the National Telecommunications Commission or NTC to avoid pecking identities.

04:32For GMA Integrated News, I'm Joseph Morong, your witness.

04:37Kapuso, let's be witnesses together.
