Barely a few months into SIM registration, dami na nila nahuhuli nagbebenta ng pre-registered cards. That was enough proof to call this whole "It WiLl sToP cRiMeS" rationale as pure BS.
Edit: This guy got caught in Sept 2022... or about 3 months before sim registration even started!
Yeah. I never believed it'll stop or even minimize cyber crimes. Other countries have it in one form or another and failed.
This will lead to a massive power-tripping from govt agencies that I hope our telcos will fight, if that happens.
Also, SIM registration will never be a solution to eradicate scammers, but fuck it. This is mandatory.
Did anyone really expect the SIM registration law will affect the amount of cybercrimes?
The premise that was sold to me is that it'd help in prosecuting any crimes committed by making it easier to track down whoever commits a cybercrime. And from the article, it seems that part is at least working as expected:
However, the police pointed out a silver lining: Their resolution rate also went up from 70 percent in 2022 to 95 percent for the first half of this year.
Well, it's already effective before the SIM registration law though, and I don't really want a suspiciously high 99% resolution rate (like some countries you least expect). In fact, I think 95% is already suspiciously high (since, you know, making people confess through thoroughly and completely legal means, don't even ask).
Cybercriminals can be progressive. In the end, it's a cat and mouse.
Yeah, it's always been that way. Criminals are always a step (or several) ahead of the law--and the only way for law enforcement agencies to cope is to be creative within the confines of the law.
Eh... well, creative? In this government? Sa ibang activities napunta ang creativity nila eh!

Like clowning? Haha
Yeah, why not? HAHAHAHAHA!
Yeah, that's it. Most of us (Filipinos) love "funny" contents they can always found 'em on their socmeds. lol
