It’s good to hear that Inday Miriam filed a bill giving jail term for telephone prankster and people committing fraud through the telephone. The good senator says that caller ID doesn’t help in curtailing crimes committed through the telephone.
Unlike in Saudi Arabia where SIM cards are registered, the Philippine government doesn’t register the SIM cards that providers are selling to the public. If all the SIM cards sold are registered, it is very easy for our law enforcers to track down criminals. They could just run a database search and Wallah!, the criminal is caught. I just don’t know if our lawmakers are just plain dumb or what but the easiest way to catch a criminal is by having the SIM cards registered.
This is the same thing with the National ID system. Leftist groups are against it because they’re the number one criminals. I am for the National ID system so that it would be easy for the police and military to profile the militants and the criminals in our society. It would also make the lives of our people easier since a unified ID system means presenting only a single ID while transacting business with government and private agencies.
Inday Miriam’s bill is a welcome development but for it to be effective, she should include registering the SIM cards sold in the market so that it would be easier for our law enforcers to catch the criminals.

Brags bakit si Miriam di ko na naririnig these days? Daw gahipos-hipos lang lola mo subong haw? About the national ID system, it will entail a lot of debates before it could be enacted. Madami pros and cons jan. Eid Mubarak na lng, sarap jan magstrolling sa Khobar Corniche :-)
