Four weeks after the Subscriber Identity Module card registration commenced, the national government admitted that connectivity and the lack of valid identification cards are still the topmost challenges that hinder the public in complying with the mandatory registration.

“[M]arami [sa] mga kababayan natin [ang] may mobile phones pero walang mga signals, walang mga Wi-Fi connection, at dapat mag biyahe pa sila from their islands or from their communities to the munisipyo para makakuha ng signal para makapag parehistro ,” said Uy. Areas that will benefit from the said initiative on Wednesday include Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte; Moalboal, Cebu; Palo, Leyte; Pangantucan, Bukidnon; and Malalag, Davao del Sur.

“[M]arami tayong mga kababayan na walang ID lalo na sa mga liblib ang lugar po ‘no. So, how will they now be able to register and validate their identity? ,” said Uy.
