Re-electionist senator Leila M. de Lima made the call after it was found that the wife of Police Lt. Col. Ryan Jay Orapa, the chief of NCRPO Drug Enforcement Unit, is a shareholder of POV Security Agency, Inc. which has an existing contract with e-sabong operator Pitmaster Group.
Sen. Leila M. de Lima is against Sec. 5 of Senate Bill 2395, which requires telcos to forward the registration information of users to a centralized database accessible by both the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).
But the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT) said the portal and mobile app for issuing vaccination certificates “VaxCertPH” is ready to go live nationwide after training of LGU operators in the next few weeks.
Senator Leila M. de Lima has expressed concern over the excessive and protracted use of electronic gadgets among Filipino children which affects not only their vision but also their general health condition and development.
