READ | DILG: Four New Unified 911 Command Centers Now Fully Operational

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Thursday announced that four newly established Unified 911 Satellite Command Centers (SCCs) in Regions I, II, VI, and VIII are now fully operational, further strengthening the country’s emergency response network and bringing life-saving services closer to communities.

The simultaneous activation of the command centers in Ilocos Norte, Isabela, Iloilo, and Leyte marks another major step in the implementation of the country’s first-ever Unified 911 Emergency Response System, a flagship initiative of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. aimed at ensuring that every Filipino can access emergency assistance quickly, wherever they may be.

For families facing medical emergencies, victims of accidents, communities affected by disasters, and citizens in distress, every second matters. The expansion of Unified 911 is designed to shorten response times, improve coordination among responders, and ensure that help reaches those who need it most.

According to the DILG, the establishment of the new command centers forms part of a broader strategy to decentralize emergency operations, strengthen inter-agency coordination, and build a more responsive and resilient emergency response system nationwide.

A key feature of the new facilities is the deployment of 21 dialect-sensitive Operators and Emergency Telecommunicators who are trained to communicate in the predominant languages spoken in their respective regions. These include Ilocano in Region I; Ilocano, Ibanag, and Yogad/Gaddang in Region II; Hiligaynon (Ilonggo) and Kinaray-a in Region VI; and Waray (Binisaya) and Cebuano in Region VIII.

The Department said language should never be a barrier during emergencies, particularly in situations where clear and immediate communication can mean the difference between life and death.

With the activation of the four new facilities, the total number of Unified 911 Command Centers nationwide now stands at six, including the National Command Center in Metro Manila and the Regional Command Center in Cebu.

The DILG also reported significant improvements in the performance of the Unified 911 system, with efficiency rates reaching 97.23 percent, up from 48.33 percent in 2024 and 70.71 percent during the initial stages of implementation in 2025.

Building on this momentum, the Department announced that four additional command centers are scheduled for establishment within the year as part of efforts to achieve a fully integrated national emergency response network.

Representing DILG Secretary Juanito Victor “Jonvic” C. Remulla Jr. during the simultaneous launching ceremonies, Philippine National Police Chief General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. said the Department remains committed to further strengthening local emergency response capabilities, including the provision of additional assets and support for local government units.

The Unified 911 Emergency Response System serves as the country’s centralized emergency hotline, allowing citizens to access police, fire, medical, and other emergency services through a single number, anytime and anywhere in the Philippines.

04/06/2026

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.

READ | DILG: PPSC Strengthens Cybersecurity Workforce Through National Cyber Training Institute

As criminals increasingly exploit digital platforms to target individuals, businesses, and institutions, the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) is strengthening the country's cybersecurity workforce to help keep communities safe in an increasingly connected world, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said.

The DILG highlighted the role of the PPSC's National Cyber Training Institute (NCTI) in preparing law enforcement personnel to address emerging cyber threats, strengthen digital investigations, and enhance the government's capacity to protect the public from online crimes.

The initiative supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s vision of building safer, smarter, and more resilient communities while advancing the administration's digitalization and cybersecurity agenda.

"As technology evolves, so do the threats faced by our communities. Our law enforcement personnel must be equipped not only to respond to crimes on the ground, but also to crimes committed in cyberspace. Through the NCTI, we are building the expertise needed to protect Filipinos in the digital age," the Department said.

The NCTI provides specialized training designed to help law enforcement officers identify, detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats while strengthening the protection of public institutions and critical systems against digital risks.

At present, the Institute has 183 students enrolled in three specialized programs and has already produced 514 graduates through its Cyber Leadership Executive Course (CLEC), Cyber Orientation Course (COC), and Cyber Intermediate Course (CIC).

Recognizing that cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, the NCTI has also expanded its training initiatives to the youth sector through the Cyber Youth Leadership Course (CYLC), implemented in partnership with the National Youth Commission (NYC).

The program's first batch consists of 45 scholars composed of Sangguniang Kabataan officials, Local Youth Development Officers, and Youth Organization Registration Program (YORP) officers from the National Capital Region, CALABARZON, and Central Luzon.

Building on the success of the pilot run, the second batch will expand participation to students from State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) and community youth leaders in coordination with local government units.

Meanwhile, the PPSC continues to strengthen the overall capabilities of the country's public safety sector through its Master Education and Training Program (METP), which provides competency-based training for police, fire, jail, and other public safety personnel.

As of 2025, the program has completed 218 classes and produced 11,219 graduates nationwide. Another 34 classes remain ongoing, with 1,389 students and trainees currently undergoing training across PPSC constituent units, reinforcing the government's commitment to developing a highly skilled, professional, and future-ready public safety workforce.

TANONG NG BAYAN | Sakop ba ng Safe Spaces Act (Bawal Bastos Law) ang mga paaralan?

Oo, dahil sakop ng public spaces ang mga paaralan!

Layunin ng batas na protektahan ang mga mag-aaral, g**o, at kawani laban sa Gender-Based Sexual Harassment (GBSH) sa loob ng paaralan. May mahalagang tungkulin din ang mga punong-g**o at administrador ng paaralan na:

✅ Magtatag ng Committee on Decorum and Investigation (CODI);
✅ Magpatupad ng kaukulang disiplina laban sa mga sangkot sa GBSH;
✅ Tiyaking agad na naaaksyunan ang mga ulat at reklamo;
✅ Magbigay ng sapat na kaalaman sa mga mag-aaral tungkol sa Safe Spaces Act at mga paraan ng pagre-report.

Maaari ring tumawag sa Unified 911 Hotline para ipaalam ang mga ganitong klaseng insidente, kabilang na ang mga usaping may kinalaman sa mental health.

Walang lugar ang pambabastos, pananakot, at pang-aabuso sa loob ng paaralan. Dahil ang ligtas na komunidad ay nagsisimula sa mga kabataang may kamalayan, pananagutan, at paggalang sa isa't isa.

READ | DILG: Unified 911 helps save 19 people after van plunges into Laguna ravine

Nineteen lives, including those of seven children, were brought to safety after a van plunged into a ravine along the Marilaque Highway in Sta. Maria, Laguna, thanks to a rapid rescue operation triggered through the Unified 911 Emergency Hotline, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) reported Tuesday.

What could have ended in tragedy instead became a story of swift action, coordination, and lives protected. Moments after an emergency call was placed to 911 reporting the crash near Barangay Laurel, responders from the Sta. Maria Municipal Police Station (MPS), the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO), and other emergency personnel immediately mobilized to the scene.

According to the initial police investigation, the van was navigating a curved section of the highway when the driver reportedly lost control, causing the vehicle to veer off the road and plunge into a ravine.

Despite the severity of the accident, all 19 occupants were successfully rescued. Eighteen sustained no visible injuries, while one passenger suffered minor injuries. All were transported to General Cailles Memorial Hospital for medical assessment and treatment.

For the families waiting for news, every minute mattered. The incident underscored the importance of a reliable emergency response system that can quickly connect people in distress to those trained and ready to help.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has identified the Unified 911 Emergency Hotline, launched nationwide in 2025, as a key component of the administration's public safety agenda, providing Filipinos with faster access to emergency assistance wherever they may be.

The DILG commended the coordinated efforts of the PNP, MDRRMO, and all responding agencies whose swift response helped prevent further harm and ensured the safe rescue of all passengers.

The Department likewise reminded the public to use the 911 hotline responsibly, emphasizing that every legitimate call can mean the difference between danger and safety, and in situations like this, can help bring people home to their families.
