Here’s a structured overview of the challenges and issues in the Philippine SIM registration process under the SIM Registration Act (RA 11934):
1. Technical and Implementation Issues
System Glitches at Launch – When registration portals first opened (December 2022), users reported crashes, slow processing, and errors due to high traffic.
Limited Accessibility – Online registration requires stable internet and compatible devices, which many rural and low-income Filipinos lack.
Incomplete Coverage – Some telcos had difficulties deploying enough offline registration facilities in remote areas.
2. Data Privacy and Security Concerns
Mass Data Collection – The law requires submission of personal information and valid IDs, creating a centralized pool of sensitive data.
Risk of Data Breaches – Given past breaches in Philippine government systems (e.g., COMELEC 2016), there are fears that hackers could exploit SIM databases.
Unclear Accountability – In the event of a breach, it’s often unclear whether telcos or regulators are responsible.
