They can somehow use a part of this fund to revive the project. Better yet, allocate a separate fund. Today 117 is only available in the NCR. Davao City has its own 911, which was patterned after RESCUE 911 of the US. I believe, the PNP should improve its own system by making that number available for all fone users nationwide and not just for those in NCR. This will also enable the public to get help fast and easy. Just imagine remembering the hotline of your local municipal police office or sub-station? Add to that the Fire Dept's and the Rescue Team's in times of calamities and medical emergencies. You see, with 117, the people would know right away what number to call when they need help. Test your family members. Ask them if they know the hotline number of the nearest police precint? Or the nearest fire dept. Or the nearest rescue team. See? Only a few know those hard-to-remember numbers. Buti pa yung PIZZA delivery alam ko .... 911-1111. Ang dali naman kasing tandaan, diba? That's the secret. There must be a number that's easy to remember and a number that will route your call automatically (through the operator or recorded instructions) to the corresponding emergency response team. Let's hope the PNP will implement the program nationwide.

One you found the keypad 1, just press it 3 times and you are done. Good point, TOPP. Actualy, 117 was programmed to be a nationwide hotline but due to politicking and mismanagement (or corruption like fund diversion) in the budget, the program failed. It is about time we revive the original plan and implement it now.

It is very frustrating for the taxpayers that even the budget purposely aimed for the protection of the citizenry so that the police can be more effective, is being hijacked and ended up into the pockets of the of the white-collared robbers and thieves disguising as public servants, that includes the PNP heirarchy itself, protected and condoned by the corrupt regime.

Oopps. You're nearing to what I have in mind just like my call-sign. The simplest would be coordinate with the owner of the PLDT, that is if ever they have the intention of helping our country out they could easily allocate those exclusive numbers plus the technology that goes with it. Remember the start of the cellphones wherein if you use the other companies access numbers you get a busy line? It's busiiinesss. Now, talk about coordination. Certain cities/LGUs wanted their own. You would see the 117, 168, 911, etc.

Those cities who want to have their own emergency numbers are only motivated by self determination and identity if not arrogance that utterly defeats the importance of emergency calls.

The President must simply flex its muscle and that's it. As for the 111 in your ID,.... is it that why you chose that tag? :cool: EMERGENCY 117, EMERGENCY 111 or SAVER 111 would all do. Nonetheless, I still support TOPP's idea on the 111 because it does have an advantage in certain situations over the other key combinations.
