In line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to strengthen crisis management and establish localized emergency response systems nationwide, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) leads the ceremonial launching of four (4) Unified 911 Satellite Command Centers across Luzon and the Visayas at the Leganes Fire Station in Leganes, Iloilo on June 4, 2026.
A joint initiative of the DILG through the Emergency 911 National Office and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), the Philippines’ Unified 911 is a centralized emergency hotline that consolidates more than 200 fragmented local emergency numbers into a single, free, 24/7 emergency line connecting callers to police, fire, medical and rescue services.
Today’s event aims to strengthen emergency response by addressing language and response-time gaps through the creation of dialect-sensitive, locally staffed emergency coordination hubs in key areas across Luzon and the Visayas.
