With the success of the remote SIM registration, Lumantod encouraged all SIM users in Central Visayas to take advantage of the opportunity provided by the remote SIM registration.

"Akong giawhag ang tanan dili lang diri sa Moalboal kung dili apil napud sa laing dapit sa Region 7 nga magparehistro nata. Tara na, SIM-registered na ta! (I encourage everyone not only those who are here in Moalboal but in other areas in Region 7 to have their SIM cards registered),” added Lumantod.
