CEBU CITY, Philippines — Delayed one-time pin (OTP), digital illiteracy, and doubt on the effectiveness of the program, in general, are some of the reasons shared by some subscribers in Cebu on why it took them some time to register their sim cards. Jessie Cañas, an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) from Barangay Quiot, Cebu City, told CDN Digital that he lauds the law that mandates all-end users to register their mobile phone numbers for crime deterrence. He noted how the country is a bit behind in this initiative, as, based on his experience as an OFW in Qatar and Oman, one can only buy a prepaid sim card in those countries if they have an official ID.
