We have here this call
ed 'civil id' na ginagamit ng mga expat as their all-around identification besides sa kanilang passport and visa. If you want to have a mobile phone line you need to buy a SIM card and it is not easy like buying it sa tiyangge or sa tabi-tabi na katulad ng sa Pinas. Here, the telecom will get your civil id photo copy and have you sign their agreement. Parang mas matindi pa sa pag a-apply mo ng NBI at take note may contract ka pang pipirmahan that confirming of such conditions provided by the telecom company. It's a part of binding two parties (user and the provider) that any violation within communication lines will be handled seriously.
