Rappler (2022) claims that although the law's intention is to protect users
from fraud and quicken law enforcement's investigation of phone-related
scams, it has enforcement and data security flaws. The measure's opponents
also made the point that con artists might easily move to other strategies for
getting individuals' personal information. The regulation's justification is simple:
registering SIM cards makes thieves more visible. Banks, data protection
organizations, and telecoms firms all favor the plan. Privacy attorneys counter
that criminals can easily move to other consumer fraud schemes. A
cybersecurity policy analyst named Mary Grace Mirandilla-Santos stated to
Philstar.com in February that registering SIM cards comes with more risks than
rewards.
