Telcos and DICT are responsible for an information drive on SIM (subscriber identity module) card registration, not local governments (LGUs).
It’s the joint responsibility of telecommunication companies and the Department of Information and Communication Technology’s to carry out an information drive on SIM card registration, not that of local government units .
Gomez, a former two-term mayor of Ormoc City, took issue with the Department of Interior and Local Government’s supposed tasking of LGUs to carry out such information dissemination campaign. “The telcos should not burden the LGUs since they are the ones which earn hundreds of millions of pesos a day from mobile phone users, they are much richer than most LGUs. They should take care of their own business and their own problems because their profit are all theirs to keep and enjoy,” reasoned Gomez.
But the LGUs, the lawmaker said, already have a lot on their plates especially amid the continued threat of Covid-19, the onslaught of natural calamities such as typhoons and earthquakes, and implementing local peace and order policies as the country celebrates the holidays under a less restrictive mobility policy.
