MANILA -- The chief of the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) said on Tuesday that the government is considering limiting the number of SIM cards an individual can own in a bid to further deter scammers.

The proposal was made as text scams continue to proliferate in the Philippines despite the implementation of the SIM Card Registration law.

Undersecretary Alexander Ramos said he is looking at a maximum of four to five SIMs per person as he believes having too many is "abnormal."

But he said telco players are proposing a maximum of 10 sim cards per person as the "reasonable" option.
