Pacquaio warns of election text scams, urges passage of SIM card registration

MANILA — Sen. Manny Pacquiao on Sunday called on fellow lawmakers to pass a measure that would mandate the registration of SIM cards, which he believes would curb a possible surge of text scams ahead of next year's elections.

In a statement, Pacquaio said swindlers may take advantage of the upcoming elections to victimize people by namedropping politicians in text scams."If we can approve this before the Christmas break and President Duterte signs it into law by January, we should be able to stop these text scams in time for the campaign period," Pacquiao said.

Pacquiao is among the lawmakers who filed Senate Bill No. 2395, which is pending on second reading. The measure mandates SIM card registration, which is seen as a way to combat SMS-related cybercrimes.The House of Representatives recently approved on third and final reading its own version of a bill that mandates SIM card registration.
