00:00 The picture of Maching in the online registration made by NBI is leaked.
00:05 Aside from that, there are still many complaints about the text scam.
00:09 We will now call the Deputy Commissioner of the National Telecommunications Commission,
00:14 Atty. John Paolo Salvahan. Good morning to you, Atty.
00:18 Good morning to you, Ma'am Susan and to the televiewers.
00:23 Let's look at the picture of Maching.
00:25 If it's leaked, what if the person who registered it used a picture of another person?
00:32 Does that mean that it's more likely to be leaked because it's a picture of a person?
00:37 That's what's happening now in our post-registration validation system, Ma'am Susan, with the telcos.
00:45 When the subscribers register, the telcos cannot see it because the data and information submitted by our subscribers are absolutely confidential.
00:59 But we have a process now, post-registration validation, to know if the data and information submitted by our subscribers are authentic.
01:09 What adjustments will be made to the IRR or the implementing rules and regulations of the SIM Registration Act?
01:16 The telcos and tourneys said that the Senate heard that they have many things to avoid, like the data privacy law.
01:24 Yes, that's what we're talking about.
01:28 In fact, this afternoon, we have a technical working group meeting.
01:31 We will be with the National Privacy Commission to ensure that the adjustments to the IRR are in accordance with all the laws.
01:41 Attorney, if the IRR is fixed, what is the immediate solution of the government to prevent scammers from getting in because there are still many of them now?
01:49 Yes. We're looking at the IRR. By next week, we will issue it since the meeting is continuous.
01:59 In the meantime, we are strengthening our law enforcement efforts, our cooperation with PNPs, NBI and other cybercrime investigating bodies
02:10 to prevent these tech scams and tech spams.
02:15 It's still a threat. Anyway, the NBI attorney said that they're having a hard time chasing tech scammers because the turnaround or the process of the telcos is long.
02:25 Do the telcos have an explanation on why it's long?
02:29 They said that sometimes, the bulk or the request for data or information is too much.
02:39 They are requesting for a period of extension.
02:43 In the Senate hearing on September 5, they were given seven days by the DOJ to submit data and information.
02:52 Only one telco requested an additional seven-day period to submit the data and information that they are requesting.
02:59 The data and information that they are requesting is around 11,000 to 12,000.
03:05 We will follow up on this. Anyway, thank you very much MTC Deputy Commissioner John Paolo Salvahan. Good morning to you.
03:12 Good morning ma'am Susan.
