A Unified 911 System that citizens can rely on

In emergencies, seconds can mean the difference between life and death.

In solving crime, fast reaction time can lead to the arrest of perpetrators, therefore contributing to crime prevention.

For many nations, a single, unified emergency hotline offers a lifeline that citizens can rely on.

Beginning July 2025, Metro Manila and three other key regions-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), Ilocos Region, and Central Visayas-will launch the much-anticipated Unified 911 Emergency System. This initiative by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), under Secretary Jonvic Remulla, represents a bold step toward a centralized, technology-powered emergency response mechanism aimed at saving lives and ensuring faster, more coordinated action during crises.
