President Rodrigo Duterte has vetoed the bill seeking to mandate the registration of all SIM cards and social media accounts.
Spokesperson Martin Andanar said on Friday, Duterte believes that the proposed SIM Card Registration Act needs further study.
"The President similarly found that certain aspects of state intrusion, or the regulation thereof, have not been duly defined, discussed, or threshed out in the enrolled bill, with regard to social media registration," he added.
The president "was constrained to disagree" with the inclusion of social media in the measure without providing proper guidelines.
