Fuel pump prices seen to roll back on Tuesday DTI chief backs extension of SIM card registration

Trade Secretary Alfredo Pascual backed the extension of SIM card registration as he explained its significance on digital transactions.

At a Palace press briefing, Pascual was asked if there would be a negative impact on the economy if there would be a mass deactivation of SIM cards which will not be registered by the deadline on April 26, 2023.

“You mean, if the deadline is imposed and not all SIMS are registered? I think it’s a major concern especially based on what I commented on earlier. So, that has to be evaluated, you know by the telcos and by the concerned agencies in charge of ICT,” Pascual said.

“I will go for it (extension of SIM card registration). I don’t know the official position of the concerned department. But the campaign has to be done and we have to make sure that the registration happens, you know. It’s like voter registration, you know. We need the voters to register for us to exercise the democratic process. And here, for security, we need the SIMs registered,” he added.

Pascual stressed that SIM card registration is very important as the country moves towards digital payments.

“And digital payments are what we need to happen to further promote and develop our MSMEs because that is how they can facilitate accessing the market and being able to sell online,” Pascual said.

“If you are dealing with payments, you have to be sure that the communication is coming from a known source rather than from an unregistered SIM,” he added.

The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) earlier insisted that the April 26 deadline remains.

The DICT announced after receiving pleas from public telecommunications entities (PTEs) Globe Telecom Inc., Smart Communications, and DITO Telecommunity Corp. to extend the SIM registration deadline.

“Based on our four-day monitoring for the international oil market, there will be a rollback on the prices of gasoline and diesel,” Department of Energy-Oil Industry Management Bureau Assistant Director Rodela Romero said.

An oil industry source, likewise, said the price per liter of diesel may go down by P0.40 to P0.60.

Gasoline prices, meanwhile, may be slashed by P1.30 to P1.50 per liter.

“Kerosene might have no adjustment at all or it might have a rollback or an increase, depend- ing on the last trading today,” Romero said.

The Energy official attributed the expected price rollback to the monetary policy tightening in the US as “further [rise] in interest rates could slow growth and curb oil consumption and the fear of stronger dollar will hurt global oil demand…”

Oil companies usually announce price adjustments every Monday, to be implemented on the following day.

Effective Tuesday, April 18, fuel firms slashed the price per liter of diesel by P0.40; at the same time, oil companies raised the price of gasoline and kerosene by P0.30 and P0.10, respectively.

The latest price movements brought the year-to-date adjustments to stand at a net decrease for diesel at P2.35 per liter and kerosene at P3.35 per liter. Gasoline has a net increase of P8.95 per liter to date.

Data from the DOE price monitoring from April 11 to 13 showed the price per liter of gasoline range from P58.35 to P69.75 per liter in Quezon City, Metro Manila’s largest city; diesel prices range from P57.53 to P61.83 per liter in Makati City, the country’s top financial hub; while in Philippine capital Manila, kerosene prices range from P68.36 to P72.40 per liter.

Globe says 1.1 billion scam, spam texts blocked in Q1

Globe Telecom said it blocked close to 1.1 billion scam and spam texts in the first quarter.

The Ayala-led telco said this marked a five-fold jump in blocked unwanted and unsolicited messages from 217.31 million recorded in the first quarter of 2022.

“Likewise, blacklisted SIMs from Globe’s Stop Spam portal soared to 22,455 from January to March 2023 compared to only

1,812 in the same period last year,” Globe said.

The company said it also deactivated 647 SIMs, of which, 610 were involved in sending scam or fraud messages, while the remaining 37 were used in sending spam messages.

“At our core, we remain committed to providing a secure digital experience for our customers.

Aside from our various consumer protection initiatives, we are con- tinuously investing in advanced spam detection and blocking systems to protect our subscribers from unwanted and unsolicited messages,” said Globe Chief Information Security Officer Anton Bonifacio.

Globe has urged the government to extend the SIM registration deadline, saying many subscribers were unable to register because of lack of valid IDs, as well as weak internet signal in remote areas.
