The Regional Trial Court of Pasay City convicted a 37-year-old man, alias “Mon,” on July 29, 2025 for violation of Section 11(g) of RA No. 11934 (SIM Registration Act of 2022) and sentenced him to six months of imprisonment.

“Mon” was arrested on March 11, 2025 through an entrapment operation conducted by the Southern District Anti-Cybercrime Team for the illegal online sale of SIM cards.

Brigadier General Bernard R. Yang, Acting Director of the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group, lauded SDACT for the court’s conviction of their arrested individual. “The PNP ACG reminds the public that these bank accounts can be exploited by cybercriminals for illegal online activities. We urge everyone to report any information related to the sale of personal bank account cards to the nearest ACG office for appropriate action,” he added.
