First 911 regional command center opens in Cebu City
Manila Bulletin
|October 28, 2025
The first 911 regional command center is now operational, and is expected to provide faster emergency response, improved delivery of public service, and real time coordination in the Visayas, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said on Sunday, Oct. 26.
DILG Secretary Juanito Victor “Jonvic” Remulla said the unified 911 system uses next-generation technology and ensures that no Filipino is left behind in an emergency.
Remulla explained that for an archipelago like the Philippines with over 100 dialects, the 911 Regional Command Center in the Visayas enables the people from Cebu, Bohol, and nearby provinces to talk to a Visayan-speaking 911 operator on the other line, a service that respects the language, culture, and traditions of the people.
