Unified 911 system philippines

PLDT, in partnership with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), has launched the Unified 911 system in the Philippines. Starting this month, July 2025, the Philippine government will be rolling out a Unified Persons with Disabilities (PWD) ID System. If fully implemented nationwide, the Philippines’ next-generation 911 emergency response system could become the most advanced in Southeast Asia, promising life-saving improvements in response times, communication, and coordination during critical incidents. The goal: to create a unified, national emergency response system powered by next-generation (NG911) technology. During the League of Provinces of the Philippines’ 7th General Assembly on February 7, 2025, DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla urged all LGUs to adopt the NG911 system. These LGUs are now operating with fully digital, IP-based emergency systems developed by NGA 911 Philippines, the local arm of U.S.-based NGA 911 LLC. Unlike traditional systems that rely solely on voice calls, NG911 platforms support multimedia communication and integrate advanced features that enhance emergency coordination. Robert Llaguno, country head of NGA 911 Philippines, emphasized that the new system’s interoperability is one of its greatest strengths.
