A petition was filed with the Supreme Court on Monday asking it to declare as unconstitutional the law mandating the mandatory registration of SIM cards.
In a 59-page petition, the petitioners, which was composed of various sectors, called on the SC to issue a temporary restraining order and/or writ of a preliminary injunction against the implementation of the law.
Petitioners include the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines, journalist Ronalyn Olea, Bayan Muna party-list Representative Eufemia Cullamat, and Bayan Secretary-General Renato Reyes, among others. According to the petitioners, the law violates the freedom of speech by imposing a system of prior restraint.
Meanwhile, the petitioners said the law violates the right against unreasonable search and seizure and the right to privacy of communication.
