MANILA, Philippines—With one week left until deadline, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) stood firm on its decision rejecting pleas to extend SIM (subscriber identity module) card registration. Instead, the government agency encouraged the public to comply with the April 26deadline to register SIM cards. DICT, in a statement on Wednesday (April 19), said it had received requests by telco players to extend the registration period by another 120 days as more than 100 million SIM cards have yet to be registered.
