Palace: Nat’l emergency hotline goes nationwide
Malacañang praised the Philippine National Police's (PNP) swift emergency response and anticipates improved crime prevention with enhanced police visibility.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. announced that the National Emergency Hotline will go nationwide next month, which Malacañang expects to significantly aid the PNP in crime-fighting.
Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro stated that rapid response can curtail or deter criminal activity and give the public 100 percent confidence in the police force.
She also emphasized that police visibility on the streets will increase to ensure public safety.
The Unified 911 Emergency System will initially be rolled out in the National Capital Region, Ilocos Region, Central Visayas, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao in July, with other regions to follow.
The Palace is confident that the PNP can achieve even better results with the upcoming Unified 911 Emergency System.
