Trade Secretary Alfredo Pascual on Thursday backed the extension of SIM card registration as he explained its significance on digital transactions.
At a Palace press briefing, Pascual was asked if there would be a negative impact on the economy if there would be a mass deactivation of SIM cards which will not be registered by the deadline on April 26, 2023.
"I will go for it . I don’t know the official position of the concerned department. But the campaign has to be done and we have to make sure that the registration happens, you know. It’s like voter registration, you know. We need the voters to register for us to exercise the democratic process. And here, for security, we need the SIMs registered," he added.
"And digital payments are what we need to happen to further promote and develop our MSMEs because that is how they can facilitate accessing the market and being able to sell online," Pascual said. The Department of Information and Communications Technology earlier insisted that the April 26 deadline remains.
