According to Bustos, the program will help implement the SIM Card Registration Act.
Also, Mayor Bustos strongly encourages everyone to work together and assist in resolving scams, frauds, and other harmful actions tied to SIM cards.
Under the law, all public telecommunications organizations (PTEs) will be required to set up their registration platforms, which will be used to onboard customers who provide government-issued identification cards.

Previously, NTC reported that more than 14 million SIM cards have already been registered last January 4, 2023.
